Deep Impression

President Roosevelt made a very deep impression even on hard-boiled pressmen with his quiet, but obvious-ay heartfelt, denunciation of German machine-gunning of fleeing French women, children and old men.

The President enunciated three points of policy in connection with the general discussion of the defence programmes:

1, Not a single war millionaire as a result of the war disaster abroad.

2. Labour should not seek to take advantage of the current emergency situation.

3. The Government proposed in no way to weaken its social gains made in the past two years.—Reuter.
