Seizure at this moment was regarded as significant in relation to Berlin's increasingly firm position. Every indication at the White House pointed to the assumption that the President’s speech will be one of the most important he ever has delivered. Mr. Early said -that today, tonight and tomorrow the President will work intensively to revise his original draft in light of the rapidly shifting events abroad.

He is one of Hitler's most trusted agents.” As far back as 1937, German officials “regarded America as enemy country, the same as France,” Mr. Krebs testified. They did not congider a clash with the United States as likely, but expected one between the United States and Japan. The Gestapo was “particularly interested in Hawaii,” he said. He said that for the Nazis “a war starts when they send their first ‘agent.”

Some of his Cabinet and Congressional aids are demanding repeal of the Neutrality Act.
