On today's cabinet meeting, 1t
was believed, hangs the decision
of the British government on
whether it will pay the price
German annexation of the purely
German Sudeten regions of
CzechoSlovakia-that Hitler de-
mands for peace.
In his conversation with the
King, Chamberlain revealed that
Hitler had insisted settlement of
the Czech-Sudeten dispute could
brook no delay.
The general European situation.
in Hitler's view, can be settled
only in a manner consistent with
the will Of the people, and not by
small, temporary measures of ex
pediency if peace is to be main

Bill of Rights

The compromise finally worked
out placed New York State on
record for ratification "in full
faith and confidence" that the
first Congress to meet would
promptly submit q bill Of rights
to the several States.
II do not know that 1t Is
necessary to elaborate on this
parable or text" Mr.. Roosevelt
said. "It is perhaps sufficient
for me to say that when in al.
most every generation between
1888 and 1888 the American
people have been faced with
similar decisions, they have in
the long run expressed their full
faith and confidence in the

CONCELS TRIP
This will entail his cancelling q
scheduled trip to Chattanooga
next Tuesday to attend the
seventy-fifth anniversary Of the
battle of Chicamauga. For the
same reason, he called off the trip
today to Poughkeepsie.
The Presidents decision to re-
main close to his official advisers
came after an extraordinary
cabinet meeting yesterday after
noon, following a morning spent
in conference with Secretary Of
State Hull, Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau and Norman H.
Davis, close unofficial adviser on
European affairs.
STUDY NEUTRALITY ACT
At full meeting Of the Cabinet,
which lasted two hours, the Presi-
dent explored the course the
United States will pursue should
the present critical state of world
affairs explode into another gen.
eral European war.
The effect of application Of the
neutrality act, which would forbid
sale of arms, ammunition and i'm
plementS of war to the belliger-
ents, was given special attention.

I wish that all Of you might
read the dusty newspapers and
pamphlets and handbillS Of
1888. Feelings ran high. Yitu-
peration and invective were the
rule. The State of New York
would cease to exist and its
people would be squeezed to
death between the cold-blooded
Yankees of New England on the
one side and the passionate aris-
tocracy of the South on the
other-if you believed one type
Of publicity. The people of the
State Of New York would be
ruined by interstate tariffs;
and as a weak, independent ma
ton, would be reconquered by
George the Third, If you read
the publicity Of the other party.

I cannot be with my neighbors

father, Isaac Roosevelt, sat in

TWO Important Words
There are two words in the
English language which in
the heat of political con-
troversy are often forgotten or
abused-the words faith" and
confidence" It is well for US
to remember that a very large
majority of the inhabitants Of
the original 13 States were op-
posed to the adoption Of the
Constitution. They had wit
messed the complete failure Of
government under the Articles
of Confederation - yet they
were opposed to a real union
because they believed those
leaders who viewed with alarm
any effort to think and act in
national terms instead Of State
and local terms.
And, believe me, the viewers
with alarm, the patrons Of
ghost and hobgoblins in those
days. had little to learn from the
professional fear-mongers Of
1898.
