Whom the Shoe Fits (New York Times) | In his indictment of “international lawlessnes: in Juneau as Second Class pregident Roosevelt did not name the lawbreakers. That would have been undiplomatic. Besides, it was unnecessary. Already three Governments—those of Italy, Japan and Germany—by suppression of the ! speech and by angry rebuttals have tacitly admitted | that they were meant. In France, Great Britain and most of the other countries, on the other hand, the President’s words were enthusiastically welcomed offi- ~ially and by the public, in some places with perhaps aggerated expectations. i The regimented press of Italy, Germany and Japan contains only the briefest summaries of Mr Roosevelt’s address, in many cases only seven lines supplied by the official news agencies. These States, whose will is reflected in the newspapers, are deter- mined to prevent their people from knowing directly of the American condemnation of “invasion of alien Daily AlaSka Empire ROBERT W.
