| Roosevelt, speaking here tonight at a National Service" mass meeting un- der the auspices of the mayors com nittee on national defense. declared the only peace which will make the world safe for democracy must be based upon the complete overthrow of Germany and the dissolution of ] Austria and Turkey. Included in the program he outlined were a free Arabia and Armenia, Poland and Lithuania. with an independent Czech commonwealth and a Jugo-Slav state Peace Rumors Hurt Continually we hear rumors of peace" he said. 'I think the circula. tion of such rumors is injurious to America and to the cause of decency and democracy. We should make it clearly understood that the conduct of Germany has been such that we regard as enemies of mankind all peo- pie who would strive to bring about a peace based upon treating Germany, Austria and Turkey on the one hand. and the allies on the other. as stand ing on a footing of equality. The only peace that will make the world safe for democracy is a peace based upon the complete overthrow of Germany and the dissolution of Austria and | Turkey.
 aITnlaCC mo houn tho nh m a hypocritical and insincere manner. this is the way to make the world safe for democracy, and the only way; and this means that the only peace we can accept is the peace of overwhelm- ing victory. Turkeys conduct toward the Armenian and Syrian Christians has been such as to make it evident that the Turk must not only be driven out of Europe. but the empire de- stroyed Give Arabia freedom, give Armenia freedom. Establish a free city at Constantinople and keep the straits absolutely open for the Rus sians and every one one.
 Restore Italian-Austria to Italy and Rumania-Hungary to Rumania.
 As for Belgium. she is not only entitled to restoration, but to the heaviest kind of indemnity. Let France have Alsace-Lorraine; let Poland in clude the whole Baltic coast. to which she is entitled. Let the English and the Japanese keep the colonies they have won.
 U. S. Wants Nothing
 "As for the United States. we wish nothing except to have it clearly un- derstood that the Monroe Doctrine is to be upheld in the future as in the past. South of the equator this doc Urine can be left to Brazil. Argentina and Chile. who are strong enough to maintain it. and whom we will aid in maintaining it only when they so de- sire
 Peace should come along the lines thus roughly indicated. Then do what ever treaties and agreements can do to make the peace permanent and minimize the chances of war in the future. But avoid folly and hypocrisy, and do not make believe that any paper scheme will bring the millen- nium or abolish all chances of future war After we have done all we can do by Hague conferences and arbitra- ton agreements and treaties. let us profit by the lessons of the last three and a quarter years. and remember that all these things taken together will be an utterly insufficient safe guard for peace against alien aggres- sion. There is but one permanent method of securing safety for this nation. and that is by training our strength in time of peace, by pre- paredness; and the only effective pre- paredness must rest on a system of universal obligatory military training for all our young men"
 German Intrigue Cited
 Referring to the Bolo Pasha revela- tions. he declared that statements all ready published had disclosed that the German ambassador for the last two years prior to the breaking of diplomatic relations was engaged in a campaign in this country to influence public opinion through the press, through pacificist organizations and similar bodies. How large the cor ruption fund that was spent in Amer cia. we do not yet know. But it was certainly very large"
