Roosevelt, In his 8unday evening Fireside Chat, betrays a nation unprepared for treachery. Spies, saboteurs, and traitors are the actors In this new strategy of war.

We have read and heard much of their preparation We need not against American unity and here review events to bring these facts to mind. Yet the lethargy of our people toward such an internal menace ia pathetic. It seems that we can become accustomed to , almost any conceivable adverse condition, snd then after we have lived with it long enough, we suffer, endure, snd finally look upon it with a certain satisfaction. With all our enjoyment of the unsurpassed virtues and advantages of democracy, snd in the face of all our enthusiasm for our form of government, it is the mystery of human nature how we can adjust ourselves so passively, as to accept a complete revolution as did many citizens in Norway even though it cost us our integrity, our mode of living, our liberty, snd our ideals.
