The American Legion has a posi

in reviewing some other activities
of the organization. Boy states
ara eoarated in a mapority of the
departments, and the Legion, next
to the Methodist and Catholic
churches sponsors more Boy Scouts
troops than any other group, he
said.
Memhershio today, reaching l,-
065.000. is 30,000 greater than at
this time last year. Commander
Warner said in telling of the work
among the more than 12,000 post
in the country.
He paid high tribute to Oregon's
department commander, Captain
Alfred P. Kelley, for the record
that this state now has an all-time
high membership and for its use
ful activities. The American Le
gion, too, still considers of funda

rehabilitation work for its mem

agency, said numerous Soviet dir
visions were encircled in the re
gion north of Vitebsk, on the cen
tral front, and that Russian tr6ooa
had suffered heavy casualties in
gain attempts to break out of the
nazi ring.
Soviet dispatches from the front
gave a different picture, citing
numerous instances of fierce Rus
sian defense and reporting that in
one sector, a Red tank unit smash
ed through a screen of German
armored forces to scatter a large
concentration of nazi infantry.
Moscow had a 45-minute air
raid alarm starting at 10 a. m., but
no bombs fell.
From the Kremlin, Premier
Joseph Stalin's high command re
ported violent overnight battles on
the north, central and south war
fronts, and it was indicated that
the three nazi drives pointed at
Moscow, Leningrad and Kiev had
been effectively stalled.
Hitler's field headquarters as
serted that German forces still
were plunging ahead, with num
erous Red army units encircled or
destroyed.
In the southern theater, the nazi
high command said "German, Ru
manian and Hungarian troops are
pursuing the defeated enemy" in a
drive into the soviet Ukraine.

said, "that I should officially re
pert to the congress what the con
gress undoubtedly knows: That
the International situation Is not
less grave but is far more grave
than it was a year ago,
"It is so grave, in my opinion,
and in the opinion of all who are
conversant with the facts, that the
army should ba maintained in ef
fective itrensrth and without di
minution of it effective numbers."
Therefore, ha said, It would oe
taking a grave national risk unless
congress were to make possible
the maintenance of the present,
full, affective strength of the army
during the coming year and give
training to as many additional
Americans as possible.
"Tragi Error"
He added that it would be a
"tragic error" to eliminate about
two-thirds of the trained soldiers
and three-fourths of officer per
sonnel. The steps which the chief exe
cutive took to underscore the ad
ministration's desire for extended
service during a period of world
crisis was considered to some ex
tent an acknowledgement of a
strong opposition existent in con
gress. Compromises have been ad
vanced. -
But Mr. Roosevelt said he was
not asking congress for specific
language in a specific bill. He said
that he hoped the legislators "will
acknowledge this national emer
gency either for a specific period
or until revocation by the con
gress or the president."
The Objective, he declared, is
the all important issue:
. . "Men in Ranks Know"
The chief executive said he was
cdnfident men in the ranks rea
lized better than the public the
"disastrous effect" which would
result from permitting the present
army to melt away and set back
the training and expansion pro
gram at least six months.
Noting that last year s selective
Service legislation definitely pro
vided that the one year training
program could be extended by
congressional action if a national
danger later existed, the president
added:
"I do not believe that the dan
ger to American safety is less than
it was one year ago when, so far
as the army was concerned, the
United States was in a woefully
weak position. I do not believe that
the danger to our national safety!
is only about the same as it was
a year. ago.. .1
' Danger ... Greater
"I do believe I know that the
danger today is infinitely greater.
I do believe I know that in all
truth we arein the midst Of a na
tional emergency."
In addition to recommending
continued service, the president
said he thought congress also
should remove restrictions on the
number of selectees inducted each
year. The limit now is 900,000.
H also urged congress provide
that employers be asked to con
tinue keeping open jobs for men
who have been held in the army.
He promised to direct the return
to civil life of those whose reten
tion on active duty would "impose
undue hardship" and that guards
men and selectees who had become
28 would be transferred from ac
tive service to a reserve compon
ent of the army as rapidly as eos-
sioie.
Nation Imperiled
In his message, the president
emphasized that the national in
terest of this United States and the
other American republics was
'definitely imperiled" bv the war
sweeping through Europe.
But occasionally individuals, he
said, basing their opinions on un
supported evidence or no evidence
at all, may with "honest intent"
assert that this country need fear
no attack on Its own terriory or on
other western hemisphere nations.
Mr. Roosevelt called attention.

conquest or moves from Austria to
the Russian campaign.
every move up and down and
across and into Asia, and into
Africa," he declared, "has been
conducted according to a time
Schedule utilizing in every case an
overwhelming superiority not only
in material but in trained men as
well.
An Old Story
'Each campaign has been based
on a preliminary assurance of saf
ety or non-aggression to the in
tended victim. Each campaign has
been based on disarming fear and
gaining time until the German
government was fully ready to
throw treaties and oaets to the
winds and simultaneously to launch
an attack In over-whelming force.
"Each elimination of a victim
has brought the issue of nazi dom
ination closer to this hemisphere,
while month by month their in
trigues of propaganda and con
spiracy have sought to weaken
every link in the community of in
terest that should bind the Ameri
cas into a great western family."
Decelaring he thought no branch
df the government was willing to
let America risk the fate which
has destroyed Independence of
other nations, the chief executive
said that "we Americans can not
srrord to speculate with the secur
ity of America."
He cited also " a definite re
