APPROVAL OF STATEMENT
WASHINGTON, October 13,
Thousands of telegrams have poured into the White House congratulating President Roosevelt on his speech in defiance of the dictators. The "New York Times" comments that such evidence of public approval might influence Mr. Roosevelt to transfer flying fortress bombers to Britain.
Mr. Roosevelt, speaking over the air today on domestic economics, declared that events abroad provided a warning that guns and similar preparations were insufficient. "We need grit, sacrifice, and daring," he said. "The injunction' to love one's neighbour animates our faith, which we are determined shall live and conquer in a world that is poisoned by hatred and ravaged by war."
A message from Tokio states that all the, newspapers there gave prominence to President Roosevelt's speech, using virtually identical headlines: "United States Will Oppose ThreePower Alliance."
The "Yomiuri Shimbun" says that the address supports the charge that Mr. Roosevelt is provoking war. The "Nichi Nichi Shimbun" says that the United States is abandoning "alleviation."
