Weather Mystery

Meteorology is far from being
an exact science, although its
mentors have long Iabored to
make il so. The meteorologist
aspires to forecast weather con-
ditions months. even years. ahead.
yet misses a 12-hour prediction.
Were the scientists of the
weather map and barometer able
to explain and trace the source of
the great barometric changes one
OF natures deepest mysteries
would be solved and long range
forecasting made easy. Easy as
that scientific problem seems to
the lay mind. science with its
equipment, brains and resources
has been unable TO more than
guess at it.
For more than a century the
United States weather bureau has
sought an answer. Other govern
ments have helped. and million
aires have endowed foundations
to carry on the work.
It has been suggested that the
government pour a vast sum into
this field of research that all the
scientific resources in the world
may be modified for an organized
study on a vaster scale than was
ever attempted before. Would it
pay? The mystery fascinates and
TO know the answer would be in
teresting, but what could puny
man do about it if he could fore
tell to the minute when it would
rain and when the sun would
shine? All ne could do would be
TO order his own life and that is
TOO well ordered already.

 I desire to acknowledge your excellency's reply to my telegram of september 20. I was confident that you would coincide in the opinion I expressed regarding the unforeseeable consequences and the incalculable disaster which would result to the entire world from the outbreak of a European war.
 The question before the world today, MT. Chancellor, Is not the question of errors of Judgment or of injustices committed In the past. It is the question of the fate of the world today and tomorrow. The world asks of us who at this moment are heads of nations the supreme capacity to achieve the destinies of nations without fore Ing upon them as Q price, the mutilation and death of millions of citizens.

 Just as Chamberlain neared the end of the speech, the message was handed to him. He immediately an- nounced 1t to the house. A scene seldom matched in com !, mons ensued. Members leaped to their feet, cheered and waved their papers.
 Climax of Events It was the climax of @ chain of events which the British foreign of- flee revealed was started last night when President Roosevelt sent his message to Hitler, suggesting a Eu-' ropean conference.
 The message was broadcast throughout England. It was to Paris and Rome. Britain urged Mussolini to use his influence with Hitler Then during Chamberlain's speech came the Hitler invitation.
 Chamberlain had entered the house of commons to tell the men- bers of the situation to c1te.
 He knew what a German march Into Czechosiovakia wousd mean, for as he revealed in his speech, Hitler told him in plain words at their first Herchtesgaden conference that he (fiitler) would risk 6 war rather than defer a solution of his demands on Czechoslovakia.
 The -Nene in commons was in- tensely dramatic.

 Four Important Developments
 Chainberiain'S speech In commons followed a series of important dee velopments as the British and French governments continued their fight to avert war. They were:
 1. An appeal by Chamberlain to Pope Plus to use his influence for peace was understood to have led to the Pope's decision to broadcast to the world tomorrow.
 2. The government announced in q white paper that Chamberlain had written to Hitler on Monday urging that the German and Czech govern inents send representatives, to Q con- ference, which the British would attend If desired, to settle the ineth- cd by which the Sudetenland would be turne, over to Germany. This apparently was the start of i1egotia-. tions for the four-power conference. 3. Hitler replied to Chamberlain, rejecting the Csech arguments against immediate surrender of the sudetenland. He said that T regret the Idea of any atcck on Czech ter. ritory and under conditions I laid down am ready to give e formal guarantee for the remainder Of Czechoslovakia" kia"--that is, after set- clement of Polish and Hungar'" ] claims.

Roosevelt Still Confident Peaceful Methods Best

Der 26 my appeal to your excel- lency and to the president of Czechosloyakia and to the prime ministers of Great Britain and of France.
 The two points I sought to em- phasize were, first, that all mat ters of difference between the German government and the Czechoslovak government could and should be settled by pacific methods; and, second, that the threatened alternative of the use of force oh a scale likely to result In a general war is as unneoes- sary as 1t is unjustifiable It Is, therefore, supremely important that negotiations should continue without interruption until fair and constructive solution Is reached.
 My conviction on these two points Is deepened because re- sponsible statesmen have official- ly stated that an agreement in principle has already been reached between the government of the German reich and the gov- erntnent of Czechosloyakia, al- though the precise time, method and detail of carrying out that agreement remain at issue.
 Whatever existing differences may be, and whatever their merits may be-and upon them I do not and need not undertake to pass my appeal was solely that nego- tiations be continued until a peaceful settlement Is found, and that thereby Q resort to force be avoided.
 Present negotiations still stand open. They can be continued if you will give the word. Should the need for supplementing them become evident, nothing stands in the way of widening their scope into @ conference of all the na- tons directly interested in the present controversy. Such Q meet ing to be held irnmediately--in some neutral spot in Europe would offer the opportunity for this and correlated questions to be solved in spirit of justice, of fair dealing, and, In all human probability, with greater per- manence.
 In my considered Judgment, and in the light of the experience of this century, continued regotia- tons remain the only way by which the immediate problem can be disposed of upon any lasting basis.
 Should you agree to 6 solution in this peaceful manner am con- yinced that hundreds of millions throughout the world would rec ognize your action as an out standing historic service to all humanity.
 Allow me to state my unquali- fled 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 us accountable should we omit any appeal for It's prevention.
 The government of the United States has no political involve inents in Europe. and will assume no obligations In the conduct of the present negotiations. Yet in our own right we recognize our responsibilities as Q part of 6 world of neighbors
 The conscience and the iin- polling desire of the people of my country demand that the voice of their government be raised again and yet again to avert and to avoid war.
 (Signed)
 FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.

Mr, Roosevelt, in his appeal, had seemed to make this point clear. Well inc formed persons said the second cable was MT. Roosevelt's final move, his last word.
