May Tl-(AP) —The text of President Roosevelt's radio address tonight follows: I am speaking tonight from the White House in the resence of the governing board o the Pan American Union. the Canadian Minister and their families. The members of this board are the Ambassadors and ministers of the American Republics in Washing- ton. It ls appropriate that I do this. Now. as never before. the unity of the American Republics is of supreme importance to each and every one of us and to the cause of freedom throughout the world. Our future independence is bound up with the future inde- pendence of all of our sister re- publics. The pressing problems that con- front us are military problems. We can not afford to approach them from the point of view of wishful thinkers or sentimentalists. What we face is cold, hard facts The first and fundamental fact ls that what started as a European war has developed, as the Nazis always Intended it should develop, into a world war for world domina" . Adolf Hitler never considered the domination of Europe as an end in itself. European conquest was but a step toward ultimate goals in all the other continents It is unmistakably apparent to all oi us that. unless the advance of Hitler-ism ls forcibly checked now, the western hemisphere will be in range of the Nazi weapons of destruction. Traces Events For our own defence we have accordingly undertaken certain obviously necessary measures:- l-"lrst. we joined in concluding a series of agreements with all the other American republics. This further solidified our hemisphere against the common danger. And then, a year ago. we launch- ed. fllld are successfully carrying out, the largest armament produc- tion program we have ever under- taken. We have added substantially to our splendid navy. and we have mustered our manpower to build up a new army which ls already worthy of the highest traditions of our military service. We instituted a policy oi aid for the above arrangements took place. Every representative o! any club, lodge or organization present ex- pressed‘ the vviliingness to co-opeate ' in any way possible to make the‘ parade a. success. Mayor B. Roy Holman. Chair-I man of the Torch Dav Commltterz; presided and congratulated the audience on the largo tuln out‘ which, he said. indicated that the Torch Day and Victory Loan drivel celebrations would be a great suc- oess. Group Captain E. A. Blake of the Royal Air Force. was appoint- ed marshal of the parade with Lt. Col. F. I. Andrew al alternate. It was intimated that the members of the Royal Air Force would be given a. half holiday on Julie 17. Lt. Col. D, A. MacKlnnon said that the two parades might be con- fusing to the public. He explained than on June 2. the day the V.c- tory Loan drive starts Lt. Col. An-y drew would have charge of a ar-. ade to the market building. T ere‘ would be a brief ceremorl there. and the flag would 0e ho sted to signify the commencement of the drive. This parade will pass through the city streets and arrive at the market building at 2.30. It will com 115g soldiers from the Military‘ Traming Centre, Navy and Air Force, and Cadets from the city, schools. The Light Hor=e Band and the West Kent School Band will be in attendance. Mr. D. J. Bonnell. Provincial Chairman of Publicity. referred to the magnificent response to the appeal for cooperation He pre- dlcted that the celebrations for Torch Day would go uvcr in a big way. A representative from each or- ganization. club. ledge and other scclety was named on a general committee to complete preparations for the celebration. One member off the city council was also ap- pointed on each of the committees. Carried; In defence of Hemisphere WASHINGTON.

Holland, Belgium. Luxembourg, and France. ln June. 1940. Britain stood alone. faced by the some machine of terror which had overwhelmed her allies. Our government rushed arms to meet her desperate needs In September. 1940, an agree- ment was completed with Great Britain for the trade of 50 de- stroyers for eight important off- shore bases. In March. 1941, the Congress passed the lend-Lease Bill and an appropriation of $7.000.000.000 to implement it. ‘This law realistically provided for material aid "for the Government of an country whose defence the Presl ent deems vital to the defence of the United States." ' Our whole program of all! for the democracies has been based on hard-headed concern for our own security and for the kind of safe and civilized world In which we wish to llve. Every dollar of material we send helps to keep the dictators away from our own hemisphere. Every day that they are held off give; us time to build more guns and tanks and planes and ships. We have made no pretence about our own self-interest in this aid. Great Britain understands it -and so does Nazi Germany. And now-after a year-Britain still fights galiantly. on a "far- flung battle line." We have doub- led and redoubled our ‘vast pro- duction, increasing. month by month. our material supply of fools of war for ourselves and Bri- tain and China-and eventually for all the democracies. supply will Not Fall The supply of these tools will not, fail-it will increase. With rcatly augmented sterngth. the Unted States and the other American republics now chart their course in the situation of to- day. Your terms Hitler, if victorious, would impose. They are. indeed, the only terms on which he would accept a so-cailed "negotiated" peace. Under those terms. Germany would literally parcel out the world --hoistlng the swastika itself over vast territories and populations. and setting up puppet governments of its own choosing, wholly sub- ject to the will and the policy of a conqueror. To the people of the Americas. a triumphant Hitler would say. as he said after the seizure of Aus- tria, and after Munich, and after the seizure of Creche-Slovakia: "I am now completely satisfied This is the last territorial read- justment I will seek." And he would of course add: "All we want is peace. frlendshiD. and profitable trade relations with you in the new world." And were any of us in the Am- ericas so incredibly simple and for- getful as to accept those honeyed words, what would then happen? Those in the new world who were seeking profits would be urging that all thatthe dictator- shlps desired was "peace". They would oppose toil and taxes for more American armament. Mean- whre, the dlctstorshipc would be forcing the enslaved , oples of their old world conquests info a system‘ they are even now organ- izing-to build a naval and air force intended to ain and hold and be masters of i.

Not speculating I am not speculating about all this. I merely repeat what is al- ready in the Nazi book of world conquest. They plan to treat the Latin American nations as they are now treating the Balkans. They plan to strangle the United States of America and the Dominion of Canada. ‘The American laborer would have to compete with slave labor ifi the rest of the world. Minimum wages. maximum hours?

All of American history- North, Central and South American history-has been lnevitabl tied ,llp with those words, "free om of the seas." i Since 1799, when our infant navy made the West Indies and the Car- ibbean and the Gulf of Mexico ‘safe for American ships, since 1804 ,and 1805 when we made all peace- ‘ ul commerce safe from the depre- dations of the Barbary Pirates: since the war of 1812. which was fought for the preservation of sall- ors’ rights; since 1867, when our sea Dower made it possible for the Mexicans to expel the French army of Louis Napoleon, we have striv- en and fought in defence of free- dom of the seen-for our own ship- ping, for the commerce of our sla- ter republics, for the rizllt of all nations to use the highways of world trade-and for our own safe- ty. Durin the first world war we were abe to escort merchant ships by the use o! small cruisers, gun- boats and destroyers: and this type of convoy was effective against submarines. In this second world war, however. the problem is great- er. because the attack on the free- dom of the seas is now fourfold; first-the improved submarine: sec- OOHSCMDUOII of our manpower; it would curtail the fluids we could spend on education. on housing. on public works, on flood control. on lealth. Instead. we should be per- manently pouring our resources into armaments; and. year in and I year out, standing day and night, watch against the destruction of our cities. i Even our right of worship would be threatened. The Nazi world docs not recognize any God except Hitler; for the Nazis are as ruth- less as the Communists in the denial of God.

The Nazis have taken military possession of the greater part of Elllilllc. Ill Africa they have oc- cupied Tripoli and Libya. and thev are threatening Ezypt. the Suez Canal and the Near East Bu: their plans do not stop there, for the Indian Ocean is the gateway to the east. They also have the armed I power at any moment to oc- fllllly Spain and Portugal: and that throat cxlcllds not only to French North Africa. and the Western end of the Medi- terranean, but also to the At- lantic fortress of Dakar, and to the island outposts of the new world-the Azores and Cape Verde Islands. The Cape Verde Islands are only seven hours‘ distance from Brazil by bomber or troop-carry- iniI planes. They dominate ship- ping routcs to and from the south Atlantic. The war is approachin the brink of the western hemizsp itself, 1t is coming very close to home. Would Threaten Americas Control or occugation by Nazi forces of any of t e islands of the Atnntlc would jeopardize the im- mediate safety or portions of North and south America, and of the island possessions of the Unit- ed States, and of the ultimate safety of the continental United States itself. Two Factors Block Hitler Hitler's plan of world domina- tion would be near its accomplish- ment today, were lt not for two great domlnions, fighting not; only to maintain the existence of the island of Britain. but also to hold the Near East and Africa. The oth- er is the magnificent defence of China which will, I have reason to bel eve. increase in strength. All together, prevent the axis from winning control of the seas by ships and aircraft. ' The axis powers can never s- chieve their objective of world dom- ination unless they first obtain control oi the seas. This ls their supreme purpose today: and to a- chieve it. they must capture Great Britain. They crould than have the power to dictate to the western hemisphere. No spurious argu- ment, no appeal io sentiment, and no false pledges like those given by Hitler at Munich. can deceive the American people in- to believing that he and his "l! Partners would not. with Brlinln defeated, close In n. lentlessly on this hemisphere. But if the axis powers m] u, item control of the seas. they are certainly defeated. Their dreams of world domination will then go by the board: and the criminal lead- ers who started this war will suf- fer inevitable disaster.

Under German domination they would become bases for submarines. warships. and airplanes raiding the waters which lie immediately off our own coasts and attacking the ,shipping in the South Atlantic. They would provide a springboard for actual attack against the in- tegrity and independence of Brazil and her neighboring republics. How Attack Begins I have said on many occasions that the United States l: muster- ing its men and its resources only for purposes of defence-only to re- Del attack. I repeat that statement now. But we must be realistic when we use the word "attack"; we huve to relate it to the lightnng speed of modern warfare. some People seem to think that we-‘are not attacked until bombs Iectllally drop 0n New York or San Francisco or New Orleans or Chi- Oil-Bo. But they are simply shutting l-htll‘ eyes t0 the lesson we must learn from the fate of every nation that the Nazis have conquered. The attack on Czecho-Slovakla began with the conquest or Austria attack on Greece began with oc- cupation of Albania and Bulgaria. The attack on flle Suez Canal be- igan with the Invasion of the Balk- ans and North Africa. The attack on the United States can begin with the domination of any base or south. ' Nobody can foretell tonight lust t when the acts of tho dictators will ripen into attack on this hemisphere and us. But we know enough by now to realize that it would be suicide to wait until they are in our front yard. when your enemy comes st vou in a tank or a bombing plane. if you hold vour fire until you see the whites of his eyes. vou will never know what hit you.
