WORLD REACTION

America has thrown her hat into

This is the substance Of comments
which the State Department is receiv-
ing from its diplomatic agents abroad
who are reporting the impression Gre
ated all over the world by President
Roosevelt's Chicago speech.
The reaction of democratic govern
ments. especially Great Britain and
France, is of less Importance. These
governments have had an inkling that
President Roosevelt would do some
thing" for the preservation of world
peace.
Public opinion in these countries,
however, feels bolstered by the fact
that it believes the United States has
thrown its splendid isolation" over
board and is determined once more ITO
defend the cause of democracy" They
believe the mere indication that the
United States will not remain impas-
sive in the event the present situation
continues will suffice to deter the die
tators from further lawlessness.
In the totalitarian states-Ger-
many. Italy and Japan-Mr. Roose-

ROOSEVELT HINTS
SPECIAL SESSION
Says He Will Reserve DeCi-
sion on November Call
Until Conference.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HYDE PARK. N. Y, October g.
President Roosevelt today strongly in
dicated he would call a special session
Of Congress to convene between No
vember 8 and 16. but said he would
reserve decision until after conferences
in Washington this week.
In . long interview on the front
porch of his Dutchess County home. at
the end Of his cross-country tour, he
said it was little premature to say
Supreme Court reorganization would
be included in his program.
1t was neither in nor out-was the
way he put it.
He placed at the top of his program
wages and hours, surplus crop con-
troll. Government reorganization and
| regional planning.
Surrounded by his aged mother who
just returned from long vacation in
Europe. his wife and other members
of his family. the President answered
barrage of questions on his trip and
future objectives.
He refused to amplify his Chicago
speech in which he suggested quar-
antine" Of aggressor nations and called
for concerted" and positive" action
by peaceful nations to restore world
stability.
He said he had found very little in
terest among the people as to methods,
when asked about court reform, but a
great deal Of interest in objectives.
Says Quicker Justice Wanted.
The average man, he added. wanted
quicker and cheaper justice. The i'm
preston he got, he said. was that the
people felt maybe the President was
right or wrong, but they wanted the
objective he was after
He said the question of additional
district judges, included in his original
defeated court program and recon-
mended favorably by the recent con-
ference of senior Circuit Court jus
tices, would be one method he would
discuss after returning to Washington
Friday morning.
Asked If he found any difference in
the attitude of Congress and the peo-
pie with whom he talked on the court,
he said it depended on what attitude
the questioner meant.
53l Different Attitudes.
He added there were 435 attitudes
in the House and 96 in the Senate.
He said he did not want to speci-
fy any date for special session now,
but suggested between November 8
and is would give Congress time to
get most Of its spade-work done before
the Christmas holidays.
The President said three fourths of
the members of Congress with whom
he talked favored special session.
At Grand Forks, N. Oak, he said
speed was essential on surplus crop
control legislation if 1888 crops were
to benefit by the the new program
Asked his impressions of the 5000
mile transcontinental journey, the
President said he found the crop sit
uation infinitely better West Of the
Mississippi than at any time in the
last four years and an overwhelming

United States today urged an Ameri-
can boycott of Japan to aid China in
the undeclared Sino-Japanese war.
If you boycott Japan" DR.. Sze said,
you will find you have contributed to
the greatest single step of progress in

not right unless that might is backed
by right.
You will usher in a new era when
reason, fair play and world justice will
triumph-when the private individual
shows he can prevent aggression OF
governments and military cliques
which run amok."
The former Ambassador linked the
invasion Of China by Japan to the
robbery Of neighbor's house and ex-
claimed:
Can you remain deaf to your neigh

DO you advocate sitting still and
treating the robber the same as his
