Rooseylt receives every hour from all parts of America's messages of twilight to his appeal. His appeal is approved without exception by all relevant representatives of public opinion and all the schiclists of the people. The Congress, which will receive the Roosevelt embassy in its seat on Monday, with which it opens its third term of office, is eagerly waiting for the plan to be drawn up by Roosevelt in order to give greater support to the states resisting the attackers, Roosevelt, however, did not wait for the Congress to meet, but had already held a meeting yesterday with the chairman of the British Congress. In general, the President's appeal is seen as an important step which began with the amendment of the Neutrality Act. The amendment to the Neutrality Act had initially allowed England and France to purchase war material in the U.S. against cash payment and now opens up the possibility that the United States would immediately make war material available to the opponents of the attacking states. Minister of Finance yesterday in Beant- woring a Prague put at the press conference that Griecherland and China, as well as England, should be beneficiaries of this new methle of aid. To this morning, dic loche Press kept silent about Rossevelt's speech and, of course, did not publish her speech. Roosevelt's political opponents in the USA support his position. A certain preliminary argument is apparently only brought forward by Willkie, who affendably demands that the US's use of war is even greater, and should be carried out with even greater acceleration, than Roosevelt is more secure. Excerpts from the USx press: N.Y. Sun: Deadly and irreconcilable enemy-senaft against the dictators echoed from every sentence of Roosevelt. N. Yorker Zeitung P.M!: If Hitler should be of the opinion that he still had the least hope for success after the @stigen speech, because he is even more delusional, as this had so far appeared.
