ROOSEVELT ACTS
TO QUIET CRITICS
Speech Is Interpreted as
Explanation of Peace
Cooperation.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt's renewed plea
for active steps to preserve peace was
interpreted by many observers today
as designed to quiet criticism that his
policy of international cooperation
might lead to war.
Declaring in his radio speech last
night that the mere refusal to recog-
nize war in other parts of the world
does not guarantee this country's
"aloofness" from conflict. he said:
In a world of mutual suspicious,
peace must be aflrmatively reached
for. 1t cannot just be wished for. 1t
cannot just be waited for"
Thus, the President prefaced a for
NAL announcement of the United
States intention to participate in the
forthcoming nine-power treaty con-
ference on the Sino-Japanese conflict
He added significantly, recalling his
service as wartime Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy:
Remember that from 1913 to 1921
I was fairly close to world events. and
IN that period, while I learned much
of what to do. l also learned much of
what not to do"
To many observers. this appeared to
be an expression of an intention to
pursue moderate course in foreign
affairs
Some members of Congress. peace
organizations and others had expressed
concern after Mr.. Roosevelt's Chicago
speech last week that his determine
ton to cooperate with other nations
in peace endeavors might embroil the
United States in foreign entangle-
ments.
The Chief Executive emphasized
that the conference of signatories Of
the nine-power treaty, which recog-
nizes China's territorial and admins
trative sovereignty. will seek solu-
ton of the Far Eastern conflict by
agreement"
The United States Government, he
said, proposes to cooperate with all
the treaty signatories, Including China
and Japan" in its efforts to find the
solution.
This was viewed by some informed
persons as an indirect overture to
Japan to Join the conference, notwith-
standing unofficial coolness displayed
by Toxic toward the meeting.
1t was believed also to foreshadow
a determined effort by the conference,
whether Japan participates or not, to
halt the conflict by the voluntary con-
sent of both China and Japan before
considering possible compulsory meas
