ROOSEVELT ASKS "TOTAL VICTORY" WASHINGTON.â€"Warning that sacrifice and inconvenience lie ahead for all, President Roosevelt Saturday night made a "total victory" over the dictators the objective of an American "total effort," unflaggingly sustained, to place the implements of warfare in the hands of nations resisting aggression. . â€" "You will feel the impact of this gigantic effort in your daily ‘lives," he said in an address before the White House Correspondents Associaâ€" tion. "You will feel it in a way that will cause you many inconâ€" veniences." The country must be prepared for lower profits and lo;\:er hours of labor, he said. The arms program must not be obstructed by "unâ€" necessary strikes." The idea of "normalcy" and ‘"business as usual" must be abandoned. There must be "no war profiteering."

In a violent attack against Mr. Roosevelt, Gray said that the war is no longer one of “Eurore against England, but of Europe against America." He ridiculed alleged American assertions that this will be the century of United States world domination, and said that Mr. Roosevelt‘s dreams of conquest would turn out to be like those of Genghis Kan."
