AXIS AMBITION TO TORPEDO ROOSEVELT

ASKED ́ ́AT HIS PRESS conference yesterday whether he had any reason to believe that Germany and Italy were working for his defeat in the Pre- sidential Election, President Roosevelt replied by reading portions of a newspaper despatch from Rome which stated:-

"The Axis is out to defeat Roosevelt not as a measure of interference in the internal policies of the United States but because of the President's for- eign policy and because of everything he stands for in the eyes of Italians and Germans."

"The Axis is interested pri- marily in keeping the United States out of the war and trying to prevent and minimise its help to Great Britain.

"The election la realised to be of vast importance to the Axis. Therefore, it is normal strategy far the Axis

to do something before November 5 which would somehow have a great effect on the electorat campaign."

Asked regarding doubt that the United States was giving all aid short of war to Britain as had been promised, President Roose- veli said that everything was being speeded up as much as possible.

He added that, as a general proposition, it was untrue to state that Britain was not receiving all aid short of war, but he could not make the same remark regarding specific items.

Standardisation

The President predicted that greater co-ordination in the stan- dardisation of British and Ainer- 'can armaments would be achieved, and said that Canadian pilots who were not members of the Canadian armed forces may be trained at private flying schools in the United States. Reuter.

CENSOR'S NO TO REALISM

A film, "Men of the Lightships," has been made showing the bomb- ing and machine-gunning by German 'planes of East Dudgeon lightship.

It is a realistic picture of Nazi brutality that everyone should see-but before It reaches the public it is likely to be cut. it is too realistic for the Censor.

"You dirty, bastards," cries me of the crew as the murder 'planes fly over. Later in the film, the lifeboat drifts helplessly to wards the shore, one of the sur- vivors says: "I'll knock your bloody head off."

But the word "bloody" probably be deleted.

Mr. J. Brooke-Wilkinson, cretary to the Board of Film Censors, did not know that was in the film.

"It's a word that we never part pats," he said. "1 raw of the film, and it - certainly wasn't in that. The examiner aseurts me that he did not hear the word."

"It Will Come Out”

An official of Associated Bri- ash Film Distributors said: "The word is certainly used. It is quite clear."

con-

When Mr. Brooke-Wilkinson was told of this statement, he said: "Well, it will have to come out. We always have to. sider, that a film will be seen by children. While the word inay be all right on the stage it won't do for" a film."

Asked about the other phrase, Mr. Brooke-Wilkinson-nald::“j think that's all right. It is n very realistic, film, and it lo just "the sort of thing that...a. lightshipman would say In the circumstancea." -
