1t was expected to shcv whether
Hitler had been impressed by French
and British warnings not to plunge into
anything that might drag Europe into
war.
All quarters seemed agreed that the
crisis was approaching climax with
the fate of Czechoslovakia and, pos
Siblv, all Europe in the hands of one
man-Hitler.
Commenting on American AM
baSsador Joseph z. kennedy'S visits to
the foreign office and No. 10 Downing
street Tuesday and Wednesday, the
influential Yorkshire Post said:
The conclusion is drawn that Presi-
dent Roosevelt Is ready If need be to
many Of the dangers OF seeking
violent solution OF the Sudeten Ger
man problem"
Big Value In Declaration.
Observing that such a declaration
would be Of tremendous value. the
paper added
The President may, however, at
least decide to see first whether the
situation takes q turn for the better. in
the next few days. Should events take
the reverse course. Intervention from
Washington would be practically GER
tain"
The newspaper suggested declara-
ton by President Roosevelt that 'once
a war started no one could tell how
widely it would spread" would be Of
help in easing the present situation,
an outgroWth of the NaZi-Supported
Sudeten German minority's demands
for autonomy in Czechoslokia.
Ambassador Kennedy was under

ENJOYS Meeting Discussed.
There was much discussion in Gov
ernment circles Of the action Of Amer
ican Ambassadors in Berlin, Paris and
London. They met in Paris over the
week end-ostensibly to discuss politi-
cal refugee matters-but the meeting
was taken to indicate clearly the ex-
tent Of American interest in Czecho-
Slovakia's destiny.
There was, meanwhile, for the first
time in the past five days a noticeable
easing Of tension here. The Czecho-
slovak-German crisis was by no means
over and probably had not reached its
climax, political circles acknowledged,
but the outward evidences of pres
sure were gone.
Still remaining was the undercur-
rent OF uneasiness as all Europe
awaited 4 decision from Chancellor
Hitler which might mean peace or
