BLIND NATIONS

President Roosevelt told Con-
gress today that the impelling
reason behind his international
plea for peace was the fact that
selfish and short-sighted" inter
ests were menacing the political
and economic security Of the
world.
The President sent copy Of
his appeal, addressed to the sover-
eigns of 81 nations, to Congress
for its information, with a cover
ing letter explaining the reasons
for his step. He said:
Il was impelled to this ac-
tiOn because it has become in
creaSingly evident that the as
surance Of world political and
economic peace and stability is
threatened by selfish and short
sighted policies, actions, and
threats of actions"
The President did not specify
these selfish and short-sighted"
interests, but stated that they
were in the minority in world
affairs.
Nevertheless, minority as they
are, he held that they constitute
in the present circumstances a
distinct threat to international
peace and stability.
Invasion and destruction of sov-
ereignty. he said, can only be
prevented by "the complete elimi-
nation" of offensive weapons of
warfare.

Il Urges Abandonment of Offensive Arms
Presidents
Message
On Arms

Following is the tert of PreSi
dent RooSeUelt'S message today tt
the rulers of the 1Dorld:
A profound hope Of the
people of my country impels
me, as the head of their
Government, to address you
and, through you, the people
of your nation. This hope is
that peace may be assured
through practical measures of
disarmament and that all of us
may carry to victory our COM
mon struggle against economic
chaos.
To these ends the nations
have called two great world
conferences. The happiness,
the prosperity, and the very
lives of the men, women and
children who inhabit the whole
world are bound up in the de-
cisions which their governments
will make in the near future.
The improvement of social con-
ditions, the preservation Of
individual human rights, and
the furtherance of social justice
are dependent upon these de-
ciSionS.
Must Work Fast
The World Economic Con-
ference will meet soon and must
come to it's conclusion quickly.
The world cannot await deliber-
tions long drawn out. The con-
ference must establish order
in place of the present chaos
by a stabilization of currencies,
by freeing the flow of world
trade, and by international &C
ton to raise price levels. 1t
must, in short, supplement in
dividual domestic programs for
economic recovery, by wise and
considered international action.
The disarmament conference
has labored for more than a
year and, as yet, has been
unable to reach satisfactory
conclusions. Confused purposes
still clash dangerously. Our duty
lies in the direction of bring
ing practical results through

DESIRE FOR PEACE
But Country Is Determined,
He Says, to Regain Lib

BY the Associated Press.

KEEL, Germany, May 22-Chancel-
lor Adolf Hitler declared today that
Germany desires peace probably more
intensely than other nations, because we
need it to get bread for our millions
of unemployed comrades"
This statement came in a speech de-
livered in connection with his inspec-
ton of naval vessels stationed at this
port. He assured the assembled off,
GERS, sailors and civilians that Germany
was not forgetting its navy despite the
smallneSs OF that navy.
The new community" which Ger
many has become represents mo men,
ace to the rest of the world" the chan
cellor said.
Emphasizing the strength of Ger
manVs desire for peace, he added:
Peace, however, alone is given to him
who is worthy of peace"
He said that Germany had found her
self again after long period of hui
initiation and was endeavoring to find
the way to peace.
Our feet may be small" he con-
tinued, "but Germany regards 1t with
pride. 1t is the most tangible symbol
of German prestige in the world. Never
forget that 1t is part of Germany"
He concluded by saying that his visit
was not only to pay his respects, but
represented also an acknowledgement
that as great as our longing for peace
is, our determination is to regain for the
