President of U.S. Makes Another Appeal For Peace
Hitler Replied
To Roosevelt’s
Note for Peace
BERLIN, Germany, Sept. 27th,
' (/P)—Hitler carefully marshalled
Germany's whole case in an un
usually long communication in
replying to President Roosevelt’s
appeal for European peace, and
• ended with these words: “it is
n^/w solely in the hands of the
Czechoslovakia government and
not in the hands of the German
government to decide whether it
desires peace or war”.
Hitler appealed to the Presi
dent’s understanding, saying: “I
have a conviction that if you
visualize the entire development
of the Sudeten-German problem
from its beginning until the pre
sent day, you will have realized
that the German government is
certainly not wanting in patience
or sincere will for a peaceful un
derstanding”.
He further told President Rons
eveit that “I completely and in
every way share your vierws con
cerning the immeasurable con
sequences of an European war”.
In reviewing history of the
Sudeten-German and .their re
lation to the Czechoslovakia
State. Hitler reminded President
Roosevelt that former President
Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the
principle of self determination of
nations in the famous Wilson’s
“fourteen points”, and charged
that nations victorious in the
world war created a political
regime in Europe that reduced
the vanquished nations to Pariahs
and stripped them of all rights.”,

Czech Premier
Announced His
Nation’s Denial
LONDON, Sept.. 27, (>P)-Jan
Masaryk, the Czechoslovak Min
ister to London, made public his
government’s Note, flatly refus
ing to accept Hitler’s final terms
for utting up Czehoslovak as the
price of European peace.
The new aspect and frankness
injected into previous secret ne
gotiations to stave off war was
heightened by the announcement
that Chamberlain would make a
world broadcast at eleven a.m.
PST. today. A note delivered
Sunday by Chamberlain said:
“My government wishes mt. to
declare that Hitler’s demands in
their present form are absolutely
and unconditionally unaccept
able to my government, and that
against these new and cruel de
mands, my government feels
bound to make their utmost re
sistance, and we shall do so, God
helping us.”
Cannot Assume
Responsibility
For World War
LONDON, Sept. 27, (TP) Premier
Chamberlain declared today “we
caunot undertake to involve the
whole British Empire in war,
however, much as I may sympa
thize with a small nation”. But
at another paint in his broadcast
to his empire and the world,
Chamberlain said: “if 1 was con
vinced that any nation had made
up its mind to dominate the
world by force, I wouldn't hesi
tate to resist it".
Chamberlain spoke only about
six minutes; after which his
speech was broadcast in German,
in which he said he would not
hesitate to take a third trip to
Germany if I thought I could do
any good, but at the moment “I
can sea nothing further that I
can usefully do for mediation. I
find Herr Hitler’s attitude un
reasonable in his final demands,
but shall not give up hope of a
peaceful soLution.”___

Charnb rlain further said, that
he and Daladier and Mussolini
had been invited to meet Hitler
at Munich tomorrow. While he
was speaking news came from
Rome from Mussolini via tele
phone that Hitler would accept
him as Mediator of the Czecho

to involve Great Britain, France
and Russia in defense of the lit

drag in other powers.
The invitation of Hitler to the
Munich meeting came, even as
Chamberlain was tolling a tense
parliament of his apparently
hopeless < fort*- .mid war. He
revealed that 1 .'s invitation
followed lus own appeal to Mus
solini. He said Hitl r had agreed
to postpone mobilization of the
German army 24 hours U» permit
the fateful Munich conference.
The Premier, while he talked,
said the British fleet was mobiliz

under arms in Britain, Germany,

Chamberlain said that Hitler
told him at Benchtesgaden, that
he “rather than watt to help the
Sudeten-Germnns achieve self

Roosevelt Sends
Second Note To
Stop Warfare
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 28
l/f’i -President Roosevelt appeal
ed anew to Hitler late last night
to avoid plunging Europe into a
holocaust and war. Unlike his
earlier plea for peace,which went
to Czechoslovakia, Great Britain,
France, as well as Germany, the
President directed his message
only to Hitler, thereby indicating
he believed the Fuehrer would
be responsible if negotiations to
avert war broke down now.
He said the “present negotia-,
tions still stand open and they
can be continued if you will give
the word’’. He suggested that it
was possible to convoke a gen
eral parley in some neuitral spot
in Europe where all nations "di
rectly or indirectly interested in
the present controversy" could
meet and settle their troubles
pacifically, and made it clear at
the same time, however, that the
United States is neither a spon
sor nor will it attend such meet
ing—that it is for Europe to
work out Its own solution unaid
