CHINESE EXCLUSION
REPEAL URGED BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. PLEDGE OF EFFECTIVE WAR AID. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day. 11.5 a.m.) WASHINGTON, October 11. President Roosevelt, in a message to Congress, urged repeal of the Chinese exclusion law, thereby correcting history’s mistake and silencing distorted Japanes propaganda. Referring to China’s gallant struggle against great odds, Mr Roosevelt said: “China understands that our strategy required concentration of the greater part of the Allied strength on the European front, and that available supplies were limited by transportation difficulties. China knows that substantial aid will be forthcoming as soon as possible, not only in weapons and supplies, but in carrying out plans already made for effective offensive action. We and our Allies will aim our forces at the heart of Japan in ever-increasing strength until the common enemy is driven from China’s soil.
