FD. R. BEST WISHES SENT ITALIAN KING

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1 (U. P.).— President Roosevelt, who on Sunday night denounced the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo pact as an unholy alliance, last night felicitated King Victor Emmanuel of Italy on the advent of the new year and hoped that during 1941 “the Italian people may be enabled to enjoy the blessings © a righteous peace.” sk His message, in response to a new lyear greeting from the King, was made public without comment by the State Department. | “I greatly appreciate Your Majesty’s cordial message,” Mr. Roosevelt said. “I extend to Your Ma- | jesty my most sincere wishes for your personal welfare and my hope | that during the year to come the Italian people may be enabled to enjoy the blessings of a righteous peace.” 4 King Victor had messaged: “On the approach of the new year, I wish to express to you, Mr. President, all my most cordial good

States and for you personally.” Sources close to the State Department said it was customary for Mr. Roosevelt and the King to exchange new year greetings.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1 (U. P.).— President Roosevelt will spend most of New Year's Day working on the state of the nation address in which

he is expected to present to the new Congress next week his plan for loaning or leasing war materials to Great Britain and other nations. He will deliver the address personally - Monday—three days after the new Congress convenes. 2 Mr. Roosevelt indicated at his press conference yesterday that many of the details of the plan would be left to Congress to work out. He did reveal, however, that the proposal would allow Great Britain and other countries receiving arms to repay the United States with vital raw materials such as
