OF Baking PEACE
Foreign Office Paper Says
'Medd|ing' Is Obstacle
to Cancellation.
1y the Associated Press.

BERLIN, Oct 28-The German for
eign Office mouthpiece, Deutsche Dip
lomatisch Politische Korrespondenz,
today accused the United States of
being IAN circumference to European
Cancellation efforts" since the peace of
Munich.
In a bitter attack on american
meddling in European affairs" the
publication said lit already has gone
so far that authorized English sources
have found it necessary. in the face
Of American objection, to justify the
conduct of Western European powers" P"
The attack apparently was prompted
by President Roosevelt's Wednesday
night address against peace by. fear. "
The Nazi press has treated the speech
with derision.
Aim Seen to Lay Down Law.
'It appears more and more the in
tention Tin America) to lay down the
law to European countries on how
a state of peace is possible for them
and how it is not possible,1 ! the pub
lication declared.
1T is time America remembers she
is daughter of Europe, who physi-
cally and culturally took with her a
sizeable dowry from the Old World.
1T is not the task of the New
World to lecture Europe.
Much less is it the New Worlds
task to set people in countries from
which it sprang against each other
and by groundless suspicious throw
them once more into enmity.
The United States are rightly proud
that with their Monroe Doctrine they
have maintained themselves in the
rest of the world-a fact that today
is recognized everywhere.
On the other hand, this fact ought
to cause certain American circles to
use little more tact"
Lack Of Insight Criticized.
The foreign Office organ said it was
understandable that the United States
should be interested in European af-
fairs, but ito pass judgment demands
more expert knowledge, above all more
insight than America has shown for
European affairs since the end Of the
World War"
1t concluded with this statement:
American meddling in European
affairs to the degree it has reached to-
day begins now to be irksome, all the
more so because it in fact appears to
go so far as to be an encumbrance
to the European conciliation policy"

Life of Girl
In Hands of
Father

NEW YORK, Dec. 7 Q.N.S.).
A Brooklyn father today faced
the task of deciding whether he
should permit amputatiOn of his
daughters leg or watch death
take her painIessly.
Doctors have assured william
Lewis that a malignant tumOr
growth on eight-year-Old DOrO-
thy'S thigh bone eventually will
cause her death unless the leg
is amputated at the thigh bone.
Should the operation be per-
formed she has only 10 per
cent chance to live. without
it, physicians claim, little parti-
cleS will break way from the
tumOr and enter the blood
stream. Wherever one of these
particles lodges, another tumOr
will form. Eventually death
will come.
81 can't decide" said Lewis,
watching little Dorothy as she
played with a pet rabbit. 1--WE
talked it over with Louise, my
oldest daughter who is Is. She
says if Dorothy is to die, she
wants her to die 4in her arms.
"And Willie, nay son, and
Anna, my other daughter, say
they don't want Dorothy to 60
through needless suffering"
Unable to move about, DOrO-
thy wants for Christmas some
