Roosevelt Calls On People For Courage, Sacrifice

CHARLOTTEVILLE, June 11 (Reuter)-A promise that the United States would extend its material resources to the appe- nents of force was made by President Roosevelt in an address at the University of Virginia.

The President said the people and the Government of the United States had seen with the utmost urgency and grave dis. quiet the deckton of the Italian Government to engage in the hostilities The sympathies of the American republies lie with those nations which were giving there life blood in the combat against the gods of force and hate. Two obvious courses would be pursued simultaneously.

"We will extend to the opponents of force the material resources of this ration and, at same time, will harness arid accelerate the use of those resources so that we our selves in the Americas may have equipment "and training equal to any emergency.
