Roosevelt MOve
ToAuayPolicy
Fears Expected
Reported Working
on Ne,U Pla,, for
Peace.

President Roosevelt, it was learned
yesterday on good authority, may act
very soon to allay the suspicion of
the administrations aims in the field
Of foreign policy.
He is said to be working on a peace
move (ths nature of which is being
closely guarded) which his advisers
believe would tend to reassure the
country that his aims are altogether
peaceful and that he is not pursuing
a course calculated to entangle the
country in war.
It was conjectured in some quarters
that what the President had in mind
is something more positive in the way
Of focusing attention on peace than
a public statement or radio address,
although no one seemed to know how
he proposed to attain that objective.
Capitol Hill has been hearing rumors
the last few days that the White
House might spring . surprise in the
way Of an announcement bearing on
foreign policy. The lawmakers have
expressed great curiosity over the
special task which, it is reported, the
President has In mind for Adolf A.
Berle, Of New York. a member Of the
early brains trust, who has been ap-
pointed Assistant Secretary OF State.
The exact nature Of Mr.. Berle's
duties has been closely guarded,
neither the President nor Secretary
Hull has seen At to indicate what the
new assistant secretary's special duties
would be.
