mission Show Funds On
Hand For County

ton through September 80, 1888, the

new construction, $73,951 for main

ty $42,381 for road maintenance, $751;

be continued.
ION behalf of the 130,000,0OO
of people of the United States OF
America" he said, land for the
sake of humanity everywhere, |
most earnestly appeal to you (Hlt-
Ter and Benes) not to break OF
negotiations looking to a peaceful,
fair and constructive settlement
of the questions as issue.
Il earnestly repeat that so long
as negotiations continue, differ
ences may be reconciled. Once
they are broken off reason is ban

manity.'

Mr.. Roosevelt recalled to Hitler
and Benes:
|. That every civilized nation
is a signatory to the 1928 Kellogg
BRAND pact to outlaw war.
2. That most nations are bound
by other treaties obligating pres
ervation of peace.
3. That all nations have avail
able treaties of arbitration and
Cancellation for peaceful solution
of disputes.
Correspondents were warned m
formally to avoid Interpreting the
Roosevelt message as an 'lnvoca-
ton" of the Kellogg BRAND pact.
The informal Interpretation here
was that it was to remind the
major nations that they still are
obligaed by that treaty and by
others.
The president cautiously avoid
ed involvement in the CzechoSlo-
vakia bundary dispute in drafting
his message. He limited it strictly
to a plea for peace and against
war and urged merely continued
discussion to achieve peaceful OBJ
