POST-WAR PROBLEMS

DISARMAMENT OF AXILPOWERS.

MR ROOSEVELT’S VIEWS.

(Rec. 9.0.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.

In his message to Congress, President Roosevelt directed the attention of Congress to post-war problems and necessities. He said. “We and all. of the United Nations want a decent, durable peace. Let us remember that economic safety for the American of the future is threatened unless greater economic stability comes to the rest of the world.. We cannot make an American island in either the military or th e economic sense. Hitlerism or any other form of crime or disease can grow from the evil seeds of economic feudalism as well as military feudalism. Victory in this war is the first and greatest, and victory in the peace is next. Inat means a striving toward an enlargement of the security of man here and* throughout the world. It is clear to us that, if Germany. Italy, Japan, or any one of them remains armed at. the end of the war,'or is permitted to re-arm, they will again embark upon an ambitious career of world conquest. They must be disarmed and kept disarmed, and they must abandon the philosophy which has bright so much suffering on the world. Today the United Nations are the mightiest military coalition in history. They must remain united for the maintenance of peace, and for preventing of any attempt to re-arm Germany, Japan or Italy.’’ The President concluded: “I do not prohpesy when the war will end, but I believe that this year will give the United Nations a very substantial advance along the roads leading to Berlin, Rome and Tokio.”
