PROFESSOR REPLIES.
Appelman Thinks Roosevelt Mis-
understood Letter on PaciAsm.

Prof. Appelman OF the University Of
Vermont. who was mentioned by Col
Roosevelt at Detroit as the recipient OF
"A pacifist propaganda letter. was asked
yesterday for his Interpretation of the
document. In reply he said
"Col. Roosevelt's Interpretation OF the
Rohrbach letter is evidently based on
fragmentary Information. ! believe Ger
many welcomes a strong and prosperous
American nation, with which she desires
peaceful relationship"
The Rohrbach letter, as read BY Col.
Roosevelt. was in part as follows:
at is perhaps open to question
whether genuine German interests would
derive benefit from American armR-
mcnts- In order to form al opinion,
II would have to he able to foresec
what lines German policy will
follow after the conclusion OF peace. and
particularly how our relations with
Japan will shape thcinsel, 20. II seems
to me quite conceivable that In an
Observation-Disclosures war We should adopt
an attitude ~ very benevolent neutral
ity toward Japan and thereby make 1t
easier for her to beat America.
In that case. why should We help
on American armament policy? I can
not see. therefore. tiiat German political
aims would bc forwarded ipso facto by
,;erInan-Americars lending themselves
TO the schemes for American armament
II Roosevelt actually should
become President again. which. after
all. ~ not impossible. the German
Americans would then he found to have
simply played his game for him.
