NEED FOR UNITY.
President Appeals For End Of Appeasement. NECESSITIES OF DEFENCE. WASHINGTON, Sept. 12. President Roosevelt, in a speech at the Teamsters' Union Convention, said j America was rising to meet an evergrowing need for adequate physical and armed defence. The Presideut promised not to abandon Labour, which would gain as a result of rearmament. At the same time he pointed out that m countries where unions had disappeared, the iron liand of dictators had taken command. He emphasised that people who yielded liberty for revolutionary promises received only- a rationing of news, religion, clothes and bread. "Our mighty defence effort against all present and potential .threats," said Mr. Roosevelt, "cannot be measured alone in terms of the mathematical increase in soldiers, sailors, guns, tanks and aeroplanes. Behind all this must stand a united people. "I liate war more than ever. I have one supreme determination—to do all I can to keep war from these shores for all time. "Let us have an end to appeasement, which seeks, to keep us helpless by playing "on fear and by indirect sabotage of all the progress we are making."
