Speech Considered Aid To Britain’s Curtailment Of Loans to Tokyo. Washington, Oct. 6.—The world is probably destined to regard Pres ident Roosevelt’s address, delivered at Chicago yesterday, as an arrest ing, if not sensational, utterance. In any event, it is Mr. Roosevelt’s most consequential declaration of policy relative to the country’s for eign relations. In this new delineation of policy of the North American republic the speech, in its larger aspects, serves as another illustration of the digi culty of keeping clear of foreign from. our shores, and the diffcul from our shores, and the dicicul* ty of avoiding entangling alliances abroad. Of more immediate domestic con cern, is the intimation that the Washington government has under advisement the policy of lending encouragement to the boycott against Japan in the realm of trade and commerce, and possibly in the matter of loans, a movement that seems to be gathering momentum in Great Britain. In the most sig nificant feature of a most signifi catn address the President depre cated the obvious fact that “the epidemic of world lawlessness is spreading.” The observation was followed by this warning to the world: "When an epidemic of phy sical disease starts to spread the community approves and joins in a quarantine of the patients in order to protect the health of the com munity against the spread of the disease.” Washington, Oct. 6.—iJP>—The house rivers and harbors commit tee announced yesterday army en gineers had rejected proposals for an improved system of canals be tween Lake Okeechobee, Fla., and the Atlantic ocean.

The opinion was expressed that the speech as 'a determined move ment to mobilize world opinion against “the prevailing reign of terror end intemationar lawless ness.” There were strong indications the United States would uphold the League’s stand on the Sino-Jap conflict, at least place its moral support behind the League action.
