ROME, April 25—oP>—The rep-
resentative Fascist newspaper 11
Popolo Di Roma declared today
that Italian and German subma-
rines would attack United States
convoys to Britain if Washington
went to far as to send them across
the Atlantic.
The newspaper said that from the
reported American plan to extend
its air and naval patrol to mid-At-
lantic to complete convoying it is a
"short step .almost equivocation ~
"And then it will be the turn tor
Axis submarines to spfeak."
The newspaper called Preaident
Roosevelt "an astute fox, for that
he is" and said he had <R>nvoked
his ••war cabinet" to bring pressure
on It for extension of patrols to
mid-opean to save his “war policy”
from “violent popular demonstra-
tions against war
"Who knows if Roosevelt will stop
with this or will give a new tight-
ening to this war mania?" Il Popo-
Jo Di Roma asked "The next few
d.ays wiU tell " .
asserted Hull, "calls for resist -
ance wherever resistance will be
most effective." To wait for ac-
tual invasion would be "utter-
ly short-sighted and extremely
dangerous."

the United States is “to con-
tinue as a great nation, it must
act like a great nation." He
summarized the chronicle of the
war as a "story of 'too little and
too late.'

WASINGTON, April 25—(AP)—A possibility that Axis
forces partly occupy Greenland, big Danish island in the west-

l.y Vresidnet Roosevelt today in what he frankly termed a
surprising statement.
Al tliv same press conference,
Mr Roosevelt said that the United
States neutrality patrol would op-
erate us tar into tlie waters of tfie
seven seas as may be necessary for
tlie defense of the western liemi-
spliere

said tiiat the administration was
not thinking of convoys at this

American patrol ships as the re-
connaissance of ocean areas to de-
termine whether an aggressor ship

Mr Roosevelt said, was escorting

added, could not be made a convoy

Declaring that he was "agin" dic-
tatorships and that everybody was,
Mr Roosevelt said that America
was willing to fight for democratic
processes He. for one. the presi-
dent added, would not lie down be-
fore dictatorships
Mr Roosevelt’s remarks on

There are seven units in Port Ar-
thur." he said "Texas lias its quota
of Defense Guard Companies al-
ready, two hundred, and many
more towns and cities are request-
ing such organizations, and it may
be that later on more will be au-
thorised.” Major Roberts is at

(Mr Roosevelt reported in an-
nouncing extension of American
protection to Greenland that Nazi
bombers already had been sighted
there this year Weather reports
from Greenland are considered im-
portant to tlie air warfare over
Englund because they assist in
making accurate forecasts.)
Informed of tlie president's re-
marks about Greenland. Senator
Nye iR-ND> told reporters tha» in
his opinion this was an attempt to
"scare tlie American people." add-
ing
"Let’s have.les.s of this scare with
so little to substantiate It."
Senator Lee (D-Oki told reporters
that "if the Nazis try to get in
Greenland we've got to stop them,
and if they're already there we've
got to throw* them out.”
Acting Chairman Reynolds (D-
NCi of the Senale military affairs
committee said he regarded Green-
land as a part of the western hemi-
sphere and said it ihus would come
under tlie Monroe Doctrine
Mr Roosevelt declined to be
drawn into specific comments de-
signed Io amplify his views on the
convoy situation
Operate I,<MM» Miles
But he said that for a year and
a half vessels of the neutrality pa-
trol had been operating as far as
a thousand miles into the Atlantic
from tlie eastern shore of Mary-
land He said there were errone-
ous reports and assumptions at tlie
time that the patrol was operating
approximately 300 miles from the
American coast
He repeated several times the
thought of hemispheric defense in
response to questions about the
functions of the patrol What it
would do if It encountered a bel-
ligeernt vessel, and whether it
would be allowed to use belligerent
means was not made clear
Not Confined to Atlantic
The president did say a patrol
would not necessarily be confined
to the Atlantic. The president was
asked exactly what was the differ-
ence between a convoy and a pa-
in the first instance, he said,
it is the escorting of merchant
ships in a group to prevent acts of
aggression against those merchant
vessels.
A patrol, he explained. Is a re-
connaissance of certain areas of the
ocean to find out whether there is
any possible aggressor ship In the
area, or in the whole of the ocean.
