Washington, Jan. 5.?Wlih Adolf j Hitler's chief envoy an Impassive listoner, President Roosevelt warned thu1 dictator nations, that America would resist strident utnblllou and brutu force in world affairs. , Addressing a dramatic Joint session of congress in the house of representatives. tlie Chief Executive, with slow and deliberate emphasis, asked that res is/it lice be bulwarked by Increased military preparedness. I rhe uiessuge he read to congress was broadcast by radio in six lauguag[ es around the world, und was heard in ull the Important foreign countries ex! cept Italy?there no receiving set was ktuned to the Roosevelt address, by a decree of Mussolini, although, doubtless some bootlegging of It was done In some parts of the country. And. equally necessary, the President said, was the elimination of class prejudices and Internal dissensions through the abolition of social abuseu so that a nation united In spirit might combat all threats of military and ecnomic aggression from abroad. Moreover, Mr. Roosevelt hinted that immediate steps might be under consideration. He asserted that "there are many methods short of war bringing home tQ aggressor governments the aggregate sentiments of our own people." Linking domestic problems with foreign policy, throughout his plea for national unity, Mr. Roosevelt announced that the period of New Deal social and economic Innovations had reached at least a pause, If not an end. He applauded the accomplishments of the six years he has been In power and asserted the time had arrived for congress "to Improve the new machlnl ery which ,we have permanently inj stalled, provided that in the process the social usefulness of the machinery I is not destroyed or impaired." While the augmented Republican ranks of congress listened silently and a roar of approval arose from the Democratic side of the crowded house chamber, he made it amply clear that government spending would continue, in the expectation that it would increase national income to a point at which the budget could be balanced. There was an even more emphatic outburst of approval, largely from the Republican side of the^phamber, when the President mentioned the alternative of drastic retrenchment?an alternative not advocated by him. Congressional comment on the chief executive's message was, as is always the case, colored by political leanings. New Deal supporters thought it was fine, Republicans and anti-New Deal Democrats found much to censure. But It was Immediately apparent that with the exception of the declaration for continued spending, the speech was regarded as conciliatory in tone, and one expected to smooth, not ruffle the feelings of the conservative wing of the chief executive's own party. I As an annual message to congress, It had more than usual significance in that it was the first statement of administration policy since the Republican and conservative gains of the November elections challenged the New Deal and raised possibilities of effective coalition opposition to Roosevelt measures In the present session. * ~A6 Mi*. Roosevelt repeatedly-denounced the whole philosophy of dictatorship, many turned frequently to glance In the direction of the diplomatic gallery. For there eat Hans Thomsen, charge d'affaires of the German embassy, the man who recently received a stinging answer at the state department when he asked that this government apologize for anti-Nazi remarks made by Secretary Ickes. In company with all in the big hall, Thomsen arose when the President entered. But he did not, as did his neighbors in the diplomatic gallery, applaud. Throughout the speech, he sat with hie arms folded, head .slightly tilted back, and face stern. Just across a wrought Iron railing which separates the diplomatic and presidential galleries sat Mrs. Roosevelt holding young Diana Hopkins, the daughter of Secretary Hopkins, in her lap. With her was the President's mother, Mrs. James Roosevelt. Other well known Washington figures dotted the crowded galleries, including former Attorney General and Mrs. Cummings, seated obscurely in the back row of a public gallery. On the house floor was assembled1 almost the entire membership of con-| grass, the senate at the front. In ten stiff-backed chairs arranged In a semicircle about the rostrum, the cabinet was seated. Vice President Gamer and Speaker Bankhead presided joint* - /. -t Mr. Roosevelt, clad in a grey cutaway and escorted by a committee of congressional party leaders, entered to ^ tumultuous roar, in which the Republican side participated only parshook bud* wltMftMjr from the latter began his address. i He wasted?and mined?no words in getting at the heart of his argument. 1 "War that threatened to envelope the world in flames has been avert-; ed," he said almost at the outset; [ "but it has become increasingly clear1 that peace is not assured. "All about us rage undeclared wars ?military and economic. All about1 us grow more deadly armaments?j military and economic. All about us are threats of new aggression?mill-' tary and economic." _ These, he continued, threaten the. continued existence of cherished American institutions?religion. and( democracy, and international good faith. - ...' - flj "There oomes a time in the affairs! of men when they must prepare to defend not their homes alone, but the tenets of faith and humanity on which their cfiurches, their governments and their very civilisation are founded," he said. "The defence of religion,' of democracy and of good faith among the nations Is all the same fight. To save one we most make up our minds to save g|LH Director Watkins on Agriculture Changes Clemson, Jan. 7.?"The present outlook for future prices of cotton gives us a rather gloomy impression of the future of those farmers who continue to depend entirely on cotton to produce the necessary cash for living," says D. W. Watkins, director of the Extension Service of Clemson college, in a New Year message to farmers and other citizens on agricultural conditions in the state. "Other sources of income' must be developed and are being developed," he states. "Because the individual cases are not spectacular, many of us lose sight of the total change being made and visible when we look at state-wide figures. The changes that are taking place in our agriculture today are much greater than is commonly thought. With these changes coming, the Extension Service is, especially interested in developing additional sources of income on cotton farms. InComo may either he in the form of cash or better farm living.. "Illustrating the work of the Extension Service in developing crops to produce income, I mention sweet potatoes and syrup. Several years ago we sent a truck to the Government Experiment Station at Tifton, Ga., and brought in a load of sugarcane of varieties which are diseaseresistant. We look forward to the creation of a cash crop from sugarcane and sorghum. We brought in good seed sweet potatoes a few years ago and have Qonj.ipu.od to push. this, crop on a quality basis with fairly good results so far. "What is true of these two crops is, in the main, true of all our possible cash crops. Whether it be poultry, bogs, dairying, syrup-making, sweet potatoes, or whatnot, the farm people of this state will take some crop or farm enterprise, already known to them but heretofore handled in an unprofitable manner and, by applying what science has to teach in regard to these enterprises, convert them i from unprofitable to profitable farm activities." Pointing out the fact- that South Carolina is one of the outstanding southern states in the production of small grains, which are basic to the livestock industry, Director Watkins continues: "Beef cattle, dairy cattle, hogs and poultry all constitute important phases of the livestock program. People in this state at last realize that none of these types of livestock can be successfully produced for cash income purposes except through the building of permanent and temporary pastures and the growing of forage, hay and grain crops on the farm for the live stock. Livestock program^, therefore, are now underway with these fundamentals first in mind, and, where they are not kept to the forefront, we advise would-be livestock farmers to do something else. "it would be a fine thing from a strictly state standpoint if the business interests around the cities such as Columbia, Spartanburg and Greenville. could in some way give special consideration to the purchase, use, or consumption by their respective populations of locally grown farm products. Money thus would be kept in the trade territory of the city and Bpent over and over in the up-building of that community." Capone Fays Fart Of Debt To Society Chicago, January 4.?A1 Capone paid back three-fifths of his financial debt to society today.

Douglas, acting cleark of the Federal District Court. The sum represented all outstanding court costs, $7,682.29, and $30,000 in fines. There remained $20,000 in fines to bo paid.
