Fascism Not Tolerated

Washington, Nov. 26.

The full extent of the setback which the New Deal experienced in the recent elections will not be clear until Congress meets in January, but meanwhile the Government is concentrating on æ field policy in which they feel süre of public support, namely, foreign affairs.

President Roosevelt's popularity rose sharply after his appeal to Herr Hitler during the crisis to preserve peace. Similarly, his denunciation of the persecution of Jews and Catho-lies is expected to strengthen his position with the electorate.

There is no doubt that Americans àre united in opposition to the spread of authoritarianism and in condemning aggression, and there is no doubt that the United States Government intends to resist "ideological aggression" as well as physical aggression.

In other words, the Government will resist duy attempt to establish Fascist governments on the European model in Central and South America.
