/, Washington, Sept. 24.-(AP1
President Roosevelt decided
today to hold a special cabinet
meetlng tomorrow to consider
che crisis in Europe. White
House officials said the cabinet
session had been moved UP from
Friday because Of conditions
abroad.
The President, they added, was
Nceplng in touch with reports from
europe as they came in.
Speaking in the name of 130,000,o00
Americans, the President appealed
early this morning. directly to Chan
cellor Hitler of Germany and Presi-
dent Benes of Czechoslovakia that
hey stay out of war.
Copies of his appeal to avoid the
"unspeakable horror of war went
also to French and English govern
ments.
AT. the White House it was said
a1atic message. Whether the French
note will be made public here is up
o the State DEPARTMENT, however.
Roosevelt earnestly asked the coun-
tries mot to break off negotiations
looking to a peaceful, fair and con-
structive settlement of the question 1T
ISSUE" The President said wars con-
sequences were "incalculable,' that
millions of men, women, and children
would lose their lives, the economic
system of every country involved was
certain to be shattered" and their
social structure may well be COM
pletely wrecked"
He said that "the fabric of peace on
the continent of Europe, if not
throughout the rest of the world, is in
immediate danger" and added
ut is my conviction that all peo-
pie under the threat of war today pray
that peace may be made before,
rather than after, war"
Mr.. Roosevelt carefully stated that
"the United States has no political en-
tanglements," and lis caught in no
mesh of hatred"

On the other hand, your correspon-
