CHUNGKING, April 29 (U. P.).—|

James Roosevelt, former confiden=|Y

tial secretary of his father, Presigent Roosevelt, now a United States Marines captain, disclosed today that he is en route to Caivo, headquarters of the British Armies in the Near East. He and Maj. Gerald Thomas arrived today and immediately called on officials of the Chinese Government which is being aided by the United States in its resistance to Japan. Capt. Roosevelt said he “supposed” that he and Maj. Thomas would act as military observers in North Africa where a concentrated German offensive against the Suez Canal and the Iraq oil fields is expected soon. They will go to Cairo by way of British Burina, the point of entry for many United States supplies for China. Capt. Roosevelt said Greece had been their original destination. He told representatives of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, Vice President H. H. Kung, and War Minister Ho Ying-chin, who met him at the airport, that he brought President Roosevelt's “greetings and best wishes.” Admiring Chungking’s “beautiful scenery,” he said he and Maj. Thomas would stay only three or four days. A short time after thei: arrival, while Capt. Roosevelt was paying his formal call on Kung, an air raid alarm was sounded. Capt. Roosevelt flew to the Orient by Clipper from San Francisco. |

we must aid the democracies and “for our uwn security . . . we must build and maintain an Army and a Navy of such strength that no power will ever dare attack us.”

All this, he said, will mean great effort, expenditure and sacrifice. A few months ago, he said, “we were worrying about whether we could afford to increase Government borrowing authority above $45,000,000.000. ‘It seems probable now that it will grow to at least double that amount, even allowing for paying as much of this extraordinary cost as our economy can stand from cur“Frankly, it has never occurred to me that we

“We have some comprehension of the restrictions which will have to be placed upon the production of the normal things of life, but there will be more of these than we now expect.

“We have some hint of the individual sacrifices we will all have to bear, but there will be more of these, for this is almost certain to | prove to be more than a battle of | words and production.

Mr, Vanderbilt, a member of the :

Attorney General's Committee on Administrative Procedure, followed Mr. Jones at the morning session. He said that of the two responsi bilities confronting us today-—pre-paring for defense and for post-war readjustment—national defense is the easier one to meet, he said, adding: “The necessity of preparing for national defense is more obvious than the necessity of preparing for peace. But, quite clearly, it will do us no good to'save ourselves or even to save the entire world from military aggression, if we have not at the same time prepared to save ourselves in the subsequent peace.”
