ROOSEVELT
REACTIONS
"Logical
Indictment"
Says
London
Rome
and
Tokyo
Displeased
Hitler
to
.
Answer
"The
most
logical
Indictment
of
Naiism
that
has
ever
been
uttered
and
a
courageous
and
realistic
statement
of
the
rituation"
were
among
the
statements
of
London
newspapers
today
in
commenting
upon
the
speech
last
night
of
President
Franklin
D.
Roosevelt
in
which
the
chief
executive
of
the
United
States
put
himself
and
his
administration
on
record,
as
being
determined
to
give
all
material
aid
possible
in
the
way
of
ships,
guns,
tanks
and
airplanes
in
the
belief
that
this
was
the
surest
and
safest
means
of
defending
the
United
States.
The
address
was
given
great
prominence
in
London
newspapers.
Berlin
reserved
comment
upon
the
President's
speech,
Nazi
spokesmen
sayinjr
merely
that
it
was
being
studied.
An
answer,
it
was
suggested,
might
come
direct
from
Hitler
himself
"at
the
right
time."
Rome
and
Berlin
were
already
said
to
be
consulting
on
a
reply.
Comment
In
Rome
was
sparse
but
angry.
One
Fascist
spokesman
asserted
that
Roosevelt
was
becoming
"leader
of
an
undeclared
war"
against
the
Axis
powers.
In
Tokyo
the
charge
was
heard
that
United
States
was
trying
to
weaken
Japan.
Buenos
Aires
described
the
Roosevelt
speech
as
3.
statesmanlike
declaration
in
support
of
principles
of
democracy.
In
Washington
D.C.
there
was
general
agreement
as
to
the
nespssity
of
United
States
assisting
Great
Britain
and
her
Allies
but
there
was
difference
of
opinion
as
to
the
form
and
extent
of
this
help.
Former
Qovernor
Alfred
M.
Landon,
the
Republican
candidate
against
Mr.
Roosevelt
for

presidency
in
