That was also the year that the New Deal took office. But 1933 was the year when the New Deal crushed the London economic eonference, thereby destroying the last hope of financial stability for the democratic world.

“The American people do not want war. They have no idea whatever of joining in any conflict, whether on the Atlantic or the Pacific. They are determined to keep America at peace.”

system so strong that none of these nations will dare to strike at us,
i from whatever motives.
DEFENSE SYSTEM FIRST
And until the people have that
defense system, they don't want any fl more international incidents.
They don’t want any more dramatic gestures. They don’t want any more swashbuckling words Theodore Roosevelt had a good policy of, “talk softly and- carry a big stick.” We don’t want a policy of “talk loudly and carry a swagger stick.” Before talking any more they want to get down to business. They want to build themselves an Army, a Navy, and above all an air force. They want to make themselves strong. That is what I stand for. I say that the first plank of our foreign policy is a defense system. I'll even ‘go further than that. Until we get a defense system we cannot have a: foreign policy that means anything at all. For many years the American people have been told that theirs is the greatest and most powerful country on earth. We did everything in a big way. We were 50 great in these ways— so it was said—-that one word from the United States to a foreign ruler would make him tremble in his boots. All that we had to do to maintain peace and protect our in- | terests was to throw the “weight of jour influence” in this direction or that.
MUNICH RECALLED
Since that time we have told vari{ous countries not .to do certain | things of which the Administration disapproved. We told Italy not to | 80 into Ethiopia. | We talked the nations into hold- | ing a conference at Munich in 1938 | —as the American white paper says, | Mussolini's anguished pressure, | seconded by the President’s appeal, thad been effective.” The Adminis- | tration was very proud of the results lof that conference but it's not so | proud today and it would like to repudiate its actions of that time. The then Secretary of War made a speech in which he declared that “the cool minded, the skilled fingers of one man’—meaning Mr. Roose- | velt—had resolved the war crisis. | Yet everyone knows how that crisis was really resolved. Not only was Czechoslovakia“ sacrificed to Hitler, but Europe was at war withIn a year. The fact is that in the eyes of ruthless foreign states we are neither a strong nation nor a great nation. Nothing we have to say is of ‘any consequence to them, because they see how largely talk and how ineffective we have become. Our vast strength has not been brought forth. It is still “on order.” | I propose, therefore, that we stop talking. work. I propose to set about making this nation in fact the greatest nation in the world. That is the objective that I lay

| above everything else is a defense before you. To reach that objective
our industries and our man-power must be made effective. They must be made effective for domestic prosperity, and they must be made effective for defense. The defense job that lies ahead of us is appalling in ‘magnitude. We need an adequate Army. Whatever the size of this force should be, the fact is that the largest force we could put into the field today, completely equipped, is 75,000. The Navy that we have is a oneocean Navy which can only protect both oceans if the Panama Canal is kept open. Yet the Panama Canal is impossible to protect against the explosion of a ship inside one of the locks. In the light of “European battle experience, all but a few hundred of our airplanes are obsolete. These are unpleasant facts. But {if ever there was a time to face facts, now is the time.
WE ARE TERRIBLY LATE
We are as unprepared as if Adolf Hitler had never existed. That we should be exposed to attacks may sound improbable, but my authority is the third-term candidate, who described the danger vividly some months ago over the radio when he was talking about guns on order. The plain fact is that we are late. We are terribly late. And when I consider how terribly late we are, how confused, how devoid of plan or accomplishment, I cannot believe that the American people will dare to entrust their welfare for another four years to the present Administration. In other words, it’s very wise to get on another horse or else both you and the horse are going to sink. It is claimed on behalf of this Administration that clearly than anyone else what the course of events was to be. But if it saw it all so clearly why are we in this terrible plight? In 1933 Adolf Hitler rose to power.
SCOFFS AT CLAIMS FOR GARAND RIFLE
BOSTON, Oct. 3 (U.P.).—A former private in the New York National Guard offered $1000 today if authorities could prove by actual test that the Garand rifle could attain the standards claimed for it by a U. S. Army captain. Kenneth D. Robertson Jr. of Concord who described himself as an ‘amateur ballistician, made the wager in a letter to Capt. Rothwell H. Brown, "0th Tank Batallion, Ft. George G. Meade, Maryland. Mr. Robertson contended that the Johnson semi-automatic rifle was equal or superior to the Garand rifle, and had not been given a fair test z

The Nazi emblem was first discovered early last Friday, but was removed. It was again painted on the base Sunday, only a few hours before unveiling ceremonies, but once more was discovered in time to be removed before the statue was dedicated by President Alfredo Baldomir, Vice President Cesar Charlone and members of Cabins,

In 1938, *he year of Munich, we spent only 14 per cent on defense. | In 1939, the year of the outbreak of | war, we spent only 13 per cent. Let me recall to you again that in 1936 the ratio of defense expenditures to total expenditures dropped to its lowest point. Surely that was not from motives of economy. Surely it was not because the New Deal had no information of the danger. No, 1936 was an election year. There were other, more attractive ways to spend the money. I say that we are now exposed to the aggressors because of the political theories and the political ambitions of a few men. We are not prepared and we are not getting prepared.
