* ATTITUDE OF ROOSEVELT GREAT DEFENCE EFFORT
Rec. 9.35 p.m. Washington, Sept. 11. President Roosevelt in a speech at the Teamsters' Union convention said to-night America was rising to meet the ever-growing need for adequate,, physical, armed defence. He promised not to abandon Labour, which would gain as a result of rearmament, at the same time.pointing out that in countries where unions had disappeared the iron hand of a dictator had taken command. He emphasised that people who yielded liberty for revolutionary promises received only a rationing of news. religion, clothes and bread. "Our mighty defence effort against all * present and potential threats cannot be measured alone in terms of mathematical increase in soldiers, sailors, guns, tanks or planes," said the President. "Behind must stand a united people. "I hate war more than ever. I have one supreme determination— to do all I can to keep war from these shores forall time. Let us have an end to appeaSe*^ ment, which seeks to keep us helpless by playing on fear by indirect sabotage of a- the progress we are making."
