BRITISH PRAISE
1941 MESSAGE:
Administration Heads Back President; Republican Leaders Restrained.
By UNITED PRESS + Administration leaders today praised President Roosevelt's mes‘sage to Congress gyesterday; most Republicans were restrained in their omment; highest German quarters eived a complete text today and ere making a study of it, and London newspapers hailed the United States’ stand on aid to all foes of aggression.
Bae The reaction:
- EUROPE GREAT BRITAIN — Only news‘paper reaction available. The Lon‘don Daily Express, typical, said: “We know by experience in angaher struggle against brutal aggression how well pledges of the ‘United States are honored.” GERMANY-—Newspapers sgnofed message; official quarters refused comment until the full text has been examined to determine the official attitude. ¢ - ITALY™Only newspaper reaction available. The Popolo Di Roma, key Fascist newspaper, said Mr. Roosewelt was “leading his people well beyond non-bkelligerency” with a “propagandist “pretense of democracy.” + -BUCHAREST—Diplomatic quar‘ters said the address was so close to ‘an open declaration of war that the United States should now be regarded as an active belligererit. (Rumania is a German-occupied countay). + HUNGARY — Informed quarters »saicl the address brought the United States one step closer to war. (Hungary is a member of the German-Italian-Japanees alliance).
JAPAN-—-Officials said the address was abou’ “what we expected.”
LATIN AMERICA
» -HAVANA—The Government was :silent. There was no editorial comment in-the newspapers. Typical headlines were: In Pais: “Frankly Aand clearly, Roosevelt defines the ~dangers the Americas face if totaliAarianism wins; says all hemisphere republics face most serious dansgers’; in Advance: ‘Roosevelt says “secret agents already have begun the first phase of the invasion of ‘this continent.’ BUENOS AIRES — Argentinians commented enthusiastically, but the + Government maintained official at-
_titude. There was no editorial com-
ment in the newspapers. RIO DE JANEIRO—There was no
“official comment. ’ £4 PROMINENT CITIZENS
