threats to Anfadca arising ftoin ttus

It Was a reaUstte speech, deltas
ed with clearness, directness, and
with forthright fervor.
As usual, Mr. RopseveU made ho
pretense to rhetoric, but there whS
an occasional phrase-thrust as sharp
and bright and poignant as a Damas
cus blade.
It is not within reason to change
that the address was ove-color^
with ^oom and pessimism as to the
menance that has been created to
America and to the Western Hernisp

tions fliToughout the universe who

about toe whole business
\piat human intelligence woulci
not be.? He refuses to blink toe
facte or to bury his head in toe smids^
of sheer illusions like a multitude of
others, and some others who ought
to know toe difference between sub-
stanaiii^’ and mirage. _
But ' he is in hb sense defeat^
in Iris determination. Indeed, it Wp
to a$k toe Congi^ess to give him its
support and -to help him . to uniftr toe
wW of toe American people toat
lie appeared io report upon “the atete.

The clarity with which The Presi
dent built up him premise in this
lucid and historic inteniretation of
present world events- te,^ among the
cleverest and most impressive phases
of his addre*. ..
That ipremise, had to do with stat
ing toe proposition that at no time
in toe history of the American Union
had such dreadful and terrifying
danger toreatened this nation and its
people from the outside.
His retreat to history in order to
show situatons which prevailed in toe
instances of - other wars ih whirii
America has engaged was masterly
in ite arrangement and effect.
,; And from this succinct but pungent
built-lip, wrested from the books of
American history and founded upon
accepted and documented facts, Mr.
Roosevelt went,on to define toe imi-
queness of the present-day menance
to American' possessions. American
properties, American peoples and toe

It was no overdrawn arraingnmen

tinued in 1941,” says Josephine Hall,
Hoke county home agent Applica
