WASHINGTON, D. C., S ipt. 26
i/P)—.President Roosevelt speak
ing in the name of one hundred
and thirty million Americans ap
pealed to Herr Hitler and Presi

keep the peace.
His message was dispatched
dramatically in the early morn

Benes, thru Secretary of State
Hull, and to Premiers Chamber
lain of EngLand, and Daladier of
France he earnestly asked them
“not to break off negotiations but
keep looking toward a peaceful
and fair constructive settlement
of the questions at issue.”
President Roosevelt’s message
told them of wars consequences
and the “incalculable millions of
men, women and children would
lose 'their lives; that the econo
mic- system of every country
would be involved and certaih to
be shattered; their social struc
ture may well be completely
wrecked.” ~~
President Roosevelt and Sec
retary Hull spent most of Sun- j
day'working on the message,
they felt they could not hold up j
any longer well after midnight,
when correspondents of Ameri- j
can and Foreign nations were •
called to the State Department!
and handed copies of the tele
gram; telling them that the
“fabric of p^ee on the continent;
of Europe, if not throughout the
refit of the world, is in immediate
danger."
Presiden tRoosovelt declared j
“its my conviction that all peo- j
pie under the threat of war, pray j
for peace, that the prayer be
made before, rather than after
war,” He also carefully stated
that then United States has no
political' entanglements and “is
caught in no mesh of hatred.”

The Third Term matter contin
ues to Claim attention, and state
ments from respectable sources
of opinion axe numerous, varied
and interesting. Years ago, a
popular statesman, Mr. Sherman;
if memory is to be relied upon,
put himself definitely out of a
race, though not a third term
race, by saying that he would not
run if nominated or serve if he
was elected. Mr. Coolidge was
not so blunt, but events gave a
definite meaning to his declara
tion that he did not choose to
run. The present Executive
maintains a sphinx-like silence.
Since a person cannot be forced
to be President of the United
States, the first thing for an in
vestigator to do is to ascertain
as closely as possible whether or
not the man under investigation
is willing. With Mr. Roosevelt’s
mouth discreetly closed, the clos
est approach to what he thinks
is what someone else thinks that
Mir. Roosevelt thinks.
It is stated that the President
has his eye on a third term, that
although no word has come from
him, he is willing and already
running, tat he believes that he
can be elected if nominated, and
that if the nomination were ten
dered, he would regard it as his
duty to accept and could hardly
decline. There are practically
no expressions of opinion that he
wiLl refuse flatly, but he must
make his views known early in
1940,
The New Dealers, especially
the younger portion of them, re
gard Mr. Roosevelt as the most
acceptable candidate. The New
Deal must be perpetuated, and
