Seen several times with Hopkins,
their engagement was rumored, but
was denied last summer.
Friends of Hopkins who was Sc

Mrs. Hale's death. They did not
comment on the engagement report,

been "close personal friends" The

Munich promised anything more than
temporary peace. Still, it was hoped
that it did promise at least that much.
There also were hopes that, before
conditions took another turn for the
worse, international negotiations
might put peace upon more or less
dependably permanent basis. That
there would be plenty of American
opposition to a Yankee initiative in
such a direction was recognized.
Nevertheless, it was policy which
had its supporters too. President
Roosevelt had momentary good luck
in his appeal to the old world not
to go Immediately to the mat over
Czechoslovakia, which encouraged the
theory that his influence might prove
effective in the yet longer run.
But this last Hitlerian speech
knocked that idea higher then a kite.
