ROOSEVELT TELLS SWEDES
AMERICAS FOR NEUTRALITY

Washington, Oct. 18.-(AP)-
President Roosevelt advised King
Gustav Of Sweden today that this
government joins with the govern
ments Of the other American re-
pl,blics in expressing its support
ot the principles of neutrality and
order under law, for which the ma
tons represented at the Stockholm
conference have throughout their
history taken a consistent stand"
The chief executive told the king
Of Sweden that the conference
called will be followed with deep
interest by the government and
people Of the United States"
Similar messages were sent by
the governments of the twenty 9TH
er American republics. The action
was regarded as one Of the first
fruits of the recent Panama con-
ference, at which the American re-
publics pledged themselves to adopt
a common neutrality position.
President ROosevelt's message
marked his second effort in a week
to preserve peace between Russia
and Finland. His first was to the
president Of Russia, to which he
received a reply yesterday.

looked like the first request might
be granted, which would enhance
still further Josef Stalin's Baltic
domination over Adolf Hitler.
War filters spread like wildfire
throughout northern Europe how
ever. Sweden, whose peaceful neu-
trality is a tradition, was so fright
ened by Russia's threats against
Finland that bombproof shelters
were erected. Troop demobiliza-
tons scheduled October Is were
cancelled and the entire Tonne val
ley along the Swedish-Finnish from
tier was BACKED out for air raid
practices.
Coming still closer to the Nazi
lair, Russia began weaving little
Hungary away from the anti-Com-
intern pact. A new minister, Josef
Kristoffy, was appointed from Buda-
pest to Moscow to resume the trade
relations broken last February.
Meanwhile Turkish Foreign Min
lister Sukro Saragoglu stayed on in
Moscow, handling formation of a
neutral Black sea bloc which could
help Russia in her threatened drive
toward British-dominated Afghani-
stan. Between the devil and the
sea, Turkey also initiated mutual
aid pact in the eastern Mediterrane-
an with Britain and France.

THE WAR:
Football, Speeches

Across the Moselle river from
Remich, Luxembourg, French and
German troops ceased fighting one
bright October Sunday afternoon to
watch a football game between
Remich and a nearby village. To
the east, in the Saar basin, German
amplifiers shouted Adolf Hitler's
Reichstag speech across no-man's
land to the French trenches.
This was merely a calm before
the storm. Being smart, allies had
resolved not to throw away man.
power on foolish salients; instead,
they would hold the Reich to a
standstill while the British blockade
was doing its economic work on the
North sea. Nazis, for their part,
awaited acceptance or rejection of
Der Fuehrer's peace feelers.
When it became evident the allies
wanted no peace, activity increased
precipitously. Both Berlin and Lon
don reported British warships had
battled Nazi bombing planes in the
North sea, while another report stat
ed a German naval squadron had
ventured from port to do battle with
the allied fleet. Allied observation
planes saw huge troop movements
toward the front lines, while Nazi
artillery doubled it's fire on French
front line positions. Was this the
prelude to a real war?

room and wished for something
other than the bed; a chair or
the floor to put it on during the

A camp stool plus a tray to fit
the top makes a very satisfactory
small table to place beside a
game table or to set up for your
books or mending basket by your
favorite chair. But be sure to
dress it up so that it will look its
best either when in use or when
folded up and placed in some
out of the way corner. A rem
nant of material and some up
holstery braid will do the trick.
Stain and wax are suggested for
the base as paint might be marred
in folding the stool.
