WAITERS WIN sMERICA WILL FIGHT TO CRUSH NAZIS AND HITLER DECLARES FDR HYDE PARK, N. Y., Sept. 2. — {“We will do everything in our power to crush Hitler and his Nazi forces,” said President Franklin D. Roosevelt to a nation of radio listeners in his Labor Day speech yesterday, but did not define “everything.” Nowhere in his address did the President go so far as to say the United States once more should go to war, yet he went farther than in any previous public pronounce- {ment by pledging America “to do her full' part.in conquering the forces of insane violence” let loose by Hitler, The Chief Executive spoke with a grimness designed to’bring home | more sharpiy to America’s millions the realization of threats he said are raised against their fundamen- {tal rights “by Hitler’s vielent at- tempt to rule the world.” ‘The President told Americans they must sacrifice, but didn't say how much. One point was noticed, how- ever, when he asserted: “Never has there been a moment in our history that the Americans were not ready to stand up free men to fight for their rights.” Other speakers on the program were Ernest Bévin, British Labor Minister from London; Sidney Hill- man, Associated Director of OPM; Wwilliam Green, President of the AF of L and James Carey, Secre- tary of the CIO. Roosevelt warned that “We a engaged in a grim, perilous ta against forces of insane violence let loose by Hitler on this ear We must do our full part in cc | quering them, for these forces may be unleashed in this nation as we | go about our business of protect- |ing proper interests in our coun= try.” —————— MISS ALASKA THROUGH Miss Irene Reenstrom, “Miss Al- aska” of two years ago, arrived in Juneau last night on the North Sea, and plans to continue to her While here she is the house guest of Mrs. Crystal Snow Jenne.
