out the world, to express the opinion
Of this Government to the govern
ments to which they were accredited,
that the situation in Europe was so
critical and the consequences Of war
would be so disastrous that no step
should be overlooked or omitted that
might possibly contribute to the MAIN
tenance Of peace. The other govern
ments were informed of the urgent
appeal which the President had al
ready addressed to the nations directly
involved in the controversy, urging the
Importance Of keeping negotiations
alive and seeking just settlement of
the dispute through peaceful means,
and they were told that this Govern
ment believed that should all govern
ments send comparable messages, the
effect of such expressions of opinion
might possibly even at that late date
influence the course of events and aid
in the preservation Of peace. 1t was
made clear in every instance that this
suggestion on our part did not in any
way imply any opinion as to the
merits Of the dispute.
American Republics Act.
Many of the American republics
had already spontaneously taken ac-
ton in this sense as soon as they had
learned of the Presidents original ap-
peal to the European powers. And no
development Of recent times has been
more significant than the solidarity
of the American nations in their plea
for peace. All governments, without
exception, which the President ad-
dressed. expressed their appreciation
Of the action taken, and in many in
stances took similar steps. Many
others were preparing to do so when
changing circumstances made such q
step unnecessary.
simultaneously, early in the after
noon Of September 27, the President
sent through the American Ambassa-
dor in Rome a personal and con-
f1dential appeal to the chief of the
Italian government, informing him
of the action which he had already
taken in the interest OF peace, and
Evening star., 1938-10-04

second, that the threatened alterna-
tive Of the use of force on = scale
likely to result in q general war Is
as unnecessary as 1t is unjustifiable.
It is, therefore, supfemely i'm
portant that negotiations should
continue without interruption until
q fair and constructive solution is
reached.
MY conviction on these two
points is deepened because RESPONSE
BILE statesmen have oficially stated
that an agreement in principle has
already been reached between the
government OF the German Reich
and the government of Czechoslo-
vakia. although the precise time,
method and detail of carrying out
that agreement remain at issue.
Negotiations stin Open"
Whatever existing differences
may be, and whatever their merits
may be-and upon them do not
and need not undertake to pass
my appeal was solely that negotia-
tions be continued until peaceful
settlement is found, and that there
by a resort to force be avoided.
Present negotiations still stand
open. They can be continued II you
will give the word. Should the need
for supplementing them become
evident, nothing stands in the way
OF widening their scope into a con-
ference Of all the nations directly
interested in the present contro-
versy. Such a meeting to be held
1mmediately-in some neutral SPOT
in Europe-would offer the oppor-
tunity for this and correlated ques-
tions to be solved In q spirit OF
justice. Of fair dealing and, in all
human probability, with greater
permanence.
In my considered judgment, and
In the light of the experience. of
this century, continued negotiations
remain the only way by which the
immediate problem can be disposed
OF upon any lasting basis.
Should You agree to a solution
IN this peaceful manner I am con-
Vlnced that hundreds of millions
throughout the world would recog-
nize your action as an outstanding
historic service to all humanity.

ned conviction that history, and the
souls Of every man, woman and
child whose lives will be lost in the
threatened war, will hold us and all

Of the readjustments now under way
are forced to leave their homes and
seek their fortunes in alien surround
ings and under new auspices. But
upon the merits Of the decisions
reached in Munich, to use the Presi-
dents words, we do not need, nor do
We intend, to pass. Every man and
woman In the United States, however.
shares in the universal feeling Of relief
that war has been averted. Can any
one doubt that the cry for peace, not
only on the part Of the people of this
country, but on the part Of peoples
throughout the world during these
past days, has been an impelling factor
in the prevention Of the conflict?
Chance for New World Order.
Today, perhaps more than at any
time during the past two decades.
there Is presented the opportunity for
the establishment by the nations Of
the world Of new world order based
upon justice and upon law. For peace
is not negative. 1t is not merely the
momentary abstention from a resort
to war. Peace is, in its very essence,
positive. And permanent peace can
only come from q rededication of
themselves by the nations to these
tenets in their relationships: The OBJ
serVance OF the sanctity Of the pledged
word. non-intervention in the internal
affairs of other countries, the settle
ment OF disputes and the revision of
treaties whenever necessary by peace
1ul negotiation and in a spirit of
equity rather than by resort to the
use OF force or to the threat of force,
and respect by all nations for the Just
rights OF others in the same measure
IN which they expect their own rights
to be observed.

sibilities as part Of q world of

ling desire Of the people of my

Mussolini Adds His Plea.
This message from the President was
received in Berlin and known to the
German Chancellor by 7 O'Clock in the
morning Of Wednesday.
The dramatic events Of the next few
hours are known to you all. The ma
chinery Of diplomacy was working
without cease. In addition to the
Presidents message which I,have al
ready mentioned, Signor Mussolini re-
ceived further message from the
British Prime Minister, asking that
he communicate directly with the
German Chancellor to urge a post
ponement of military action and an
attempt to find peaceful solution
through further negotiations. The
chief Of the Italian government imme-
diately added the powerful weight Of
his own personal appeal to the repre-
sentations already made to Chancellor
Hitler. Before noon on Wednesday the
German Chancellor had requested the
Prime Ministers OF Great Britain and
France and the chief Of the Italian
government to meet with him at Mu-
mich. As you likewise know, the con-
ference there held has prevented the
outbreak OF war.
In all that your Government has
said and done during these last days,
1t was pursuing the course best calcu-
lated to aid in preserving peace and
In insuring the safety OF this country.
All Of us must surely sympathize
with the distress and suffering Of the
many human beings who. as the result

asking whether signor MussoNni would
not also extend his help in the con-
tinuation Of efforts to arrive at an
agreement upon the questions at issue
by negotiation or by other pacific
means rather than by resort to force.
While this message was not formally
placed in the hands Of Signor Musso-
uni until o'clock In the afternoon
of the following day, the purport Of
the Presidents appeal was known to
the italian government about quarter
before 10 o'clock on the morning Of
September 20.
As the minutes passed on Tuesday
afternoon there was no question but
that Europe was on the brink of war.
Clashes between the Czech forces and
the Sudeten Germans were increasing
in severity. The British fleet was fully
mobilized. The British territorial re-
serves had been called out. Vast mo-
bilization DEGREES had been issued in
France. German merchant vessels
throughout the world had been recalled
to home waters and were leaving the
ports where they were with the utmost
rapidity. Stock markets we're crash
ing. The evacuation Of children and
civilian populations from European
capitals was under way. Requests had
been received by this Government to
take over the interests Of foreign gov
ernments In view of the likelihood of
war. Finally, information of unques-
toned authenticity had been received
by this Government that 2 o'clock in
the afternoon Of Wednesday, Septem-
Der %, had been fixed for the entrance
Of the German Armies into Czecho-
slovakia.
Text Of Note to Hitler.
The President then reached the con-
clusion that in the interest of peace
he must make one further appeal, and
this time solely to the German Chan
cellor. At 10 o'clock on the night Of
September 27 he sent the following
message. I wish to read to you its
full text:
Il desire to acknowledge your
excellency's reply to my telegram Of
September 26. was confident that
you would coincide in the opinion
I expressed regarding the unfore-
seeable consequences and the in
calculable disaster which would re-
suit to the entire world from tho
outbreak Of a European war.
THE question before the world
today, Mr.. Chancellor, is not the
question Of errors Of judgment or of
injustices committed in the past.
1t is the question Of the fate of the
world today and tomorrow. The
world asks OF us who at this mo-
ment are heads Of nations the su-
preme capacity to achieve the des-
tinies Of nations without forcing
upon them, as a price. the mutila-
ton and death of millions of citi-
zens.
Resort to force in the Great
War failed to bring tranquility.
Victory and defeat were alike
sterile. That lesson the world
should have learned For that rea-
son above all others I addressed
on September 26 my appeal to
your excellency and to the Presi-
dent of Czechoslovakia and to the
Prime Ministers Of Great Britain
and Of France.
The two points sought to en-
phaSize were: First, that all matters
Of difference between the German
government and the Czechoslovak
government could and should be
settled by pacific methods, and,
