Text Of Statement.
The statement:
THE international situation has
reached the point which makes it
advisable for American travellers to
leave England.
I'VE feel it is our duty to warn
those Americans now in England
that, by remaining longer, they are
running the risk of inconvenience
and possibly danger. They are also
contributing to the anxiety of those
at home and will, if an emergency
develops, make it harder for those
compelled to remain.
Moreover. we must remember that
a large body of foreign tourists
would be considerable burden, in
the event of trouble. upon the re-
sources of a country faced with
grave problems of its own.
"All those who do not have any
important reason for remaining are.
therefore. urged to return to the
United States without delay. Ac-
commodations are now available on
most vessels. The same may not be
true in another day or two.
This notice is addressed at this
time particularly to tourists. All
Americans who do not leave are re-
quested to register Immediately at
the nearest American consulate if
they have not already done So"
Fleet at VilIefranche.
American consular authorities at
Nice, France, working with the
United States Navy. have completed
preliminary preparations for remov-
ing all United States citizens from
the zone between the Italian from
tier and Nice in case of emergency.
The little American fleet, consist
ing of the cruiser Trenton and the
destroyers Jacob Jones and Badger,
arrived at Villefranche late We'd
nesday night. Rear Admiral Henry
E. Lackey is in command, but is
scheduled to hand over to Admiral
Charles Courtney on September 6.

Text of Roosevelt MESSAGE
Assures King Victor Emmanuel Any Effort
For Peace Will Have u. S. Bockino

Following is the text Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's peace message, de-
livered today to King Victor En-
manuel of Italy:
Again a crisis in world affairs
makes clear the responsibility of
heads of nations for the fate of
their own people and indeed of
humanity itself. 1t is because of
traditional accord between Italy
and the United States and the
ties of consanguinity between mil
lions of OUR citizens that I feel
that I can address your majesty
in behalf of the maintenance of
world peace.
1t is my belief and that of the
American people that your maj
esty and your majesty's govern
ment can greatly influence the
averting of an outbreak of war.
Any general war would cause to
suffer all nations, whether bel
ligerent or neutral, whether VIC
tors or vanquished, and would
clearly bring devastation to the
peoples and perhaps to the gov
ernments of some nations most
directly concerned.
European Animosities
Hard to Understand.
The friends of the Italian peo-
pie, and among them the Ameri-
can people, could only regard
with grief the destruction of
great achievements which Euro
pean nations and the Italian ma
ton in particular have attained
during the past generation.
We in America, having welded
a homogeneous nation out of
many nationalities, often find it
difficult to visualize the animosi-
ties which so often have created
crisis among nations of Europe
which are smaller than ours in
population and in territory, but
we accept the fact that these ma
tions have an obsolute right to
maintain their national inde-
pendence If they so desire. If
that be sound doctrine. then 1t

Church Issues Invitation

Taking cognizance of the critical
situation in Europe, the Rev. DR..
ze Barney T. Phillips, rector of
Epiphany parish and chaplain of
the Senate. and the Rev. Duncan
Frazier, assistant in charge during
DR.. Phillips absence from the city,
have extended to the people Of
Washington an invitation to come to

must apply to the weaker nations
as we'll as to the stronger.
Acceptance of this means peace,
because fear of aggression ends.
The alternative, which means of
necessity efforts by the strong to
dominate the weak, will lead not
only to war, but to long future
years of aggression on the part of
victors and to rebellion on the
part of the vanquished. So his
tory teaches us.
Assistance in Effort
For Peace Assured.
On April ID last I suggested in
essence an understanding that no
armed forces should attack or
invade the territory of any other
independent nation, and that this
being assured, discussions be un-
dertaken to seek progressive relief
from the burden of armaments
and to open avenues of interna-
tional trade, including sources of
raw materials necessary TO the
peaceful economic life of each
nation.
l said that in these discussions
the United States would gladly
take part. And such peaceful
conversations would make it
wholly possible for governments
other than the United States to
enter into peaceful discussions of
political or territorial problems
in which they were directly con-
cerned.
Were 1t possible for your ma
jesty's government to formulate
proposals for pacific solution of
the present crisis along these lines
you are assured of the earnest
sympathy of the United States.
The government of Italy and the
United States can today advance
these ideals of Christianity which
of late seem so often to have
been obscured.
Unheard voices of countless
millions of human beings ask that
they shall not be vainly sacrificed
again.

Japan Decides
On Independent
Military Policy
Statement Seen as
Move to Shed Allies Of
Anti-Comintern Pact
BY the Associated Press.

TOXIC, Aug. 24-The Japanese
army and navy have agreed on the
necessity of pursuing an independ-
ent international military policy, the
navy spokesman said today, but will
cooperate with friendly powers as
much as possible"
The statement was made after the
signing in Moscow of the German
Soviet nonaggression pact. There
had been agitation in Japan for a
military alliance with Italy and Ger
many, associated with Toxic in the
anti-Comintern pact.
The spokesman stressed that his
statement had no political meaning
and said that in consolidation of the
China campaign dependence on
others does not serve any purpose.
What will stand Japan in good
stead" he added, "is independence
and self-reliance. At this juncture
the entire Japanese nation has been
given an opportunity to renew rec
ognition of the new situation"
The statement was interpreted as
indicating belief that Japan event.
ually could shake off the anti-Com-
intern association.
Indications that the army and
navy had decided details of fu-
ture cooperation created specula-
ton as to whether the European de-
velopments had aligned the fighting
services, which the spokesman in
sisted now were co-operaing fully.
Reports of differences of opinion
(between the army and navy when
the European policy was being re-
examined were only rumors.''
The press increased its demand
for an independent policy, Miyako
insisting that I'VE are sick and tired
OF moral diplomacy"
Hochi said "Japan's great indigna-
ton and excitement lover signing Of
the nonaggression pact must be
borne in silence"
Asahi reported German sugges-
tions that Japan join the nonag-
gression pact with Russia and re-
| jected them as mot worth discus
sion" 1t said Germany had de-
serted Japan and declared the nom
aggression past killed the anti-Com-
intern pact.

the next "a hours. Three more
would bring France close to what is
widely considered general mobiliza-
ton.
A brief communique was issued
after the cabinet meeting. 1t said
the meeting was devoted entirely to
the international situation and Pre-
mier Daladier had informed the
cabinet of the military measures
and that Foreign Minister Georges
Bonnet had reported on the text Of
the German-Russian non-aggres-
sion pact as sent to Paris by French
Ambassador Paul Magyar.
Troops Speed to Frontiers.
Emergency troops, bearing war
packs. sped to the German and Ital-
ian frontiers to bulWark vital posts
as national defense leaders rallied
the people for immediate defense in
face of Germany's threat to Frances
ally, Pollard.
The notices calling up group No.
of the seven groups of mobilizable
reserves were posted on the walls Of
all public buildings alongside those
calling up groups 3 and 4, which
were plastered during the night.
The usual Thursday air raid sirens
screamed out test warning about
the time the newest troop call was
announced.
Paris transportation was badly
handicapped as the troop movement
reached its full swing and cars and
trucks were pulled off the streets un-
der the governments requisition
order. More than so per cent of
Paris buses were taken for army use.
Subway service was reduced be-
cause of the recall of reservist en-
ployes of the Paris-owned system.
Long distance telephone commu-
nication by civilians was virtually
cut off as lines were monopolized by
official calls to coordinate calling
up reservists and troop movements
Stations Crowded.

Special trains rushed troops out of
the stations almost as fast as they
poured in.
Zero-hour requisition orders gave
the government the right to seize
trucks and automobiles for national
defense.
Harvest workers under the prod
ding of police sped to gather the
grain.
Get it in-wet or dry" was the
order.
There was no outward show OF
emotion among the people who read
the partial mobilization orders.
Former Premier Leon Blum, the
Socialist leader, demanded that the
French Parliament be recalled i'm
mediately.
Missions May Be Recalled.
Government leaders saw in the
n-aggression agreement between
Germany and Soviet Russia the
prospect of benevolent neutrality
of Russia toward Germany and also
the possibility of outright alliance
later.

British military missions now In

ton.
THE German chancellor's reply
includes what amounts to a restate-
ment of the German thesis that

Germany should have free hand"
said the Prime Minister.
He went on to say that I'VE still
hope reason and sanity will find

sue Of peace or war does not rest
with u.s."
If all efforts to find a peaceful
solution-and God knows I have
done my best-fail and we find our
selves forced to embark upon
struggle bound to be fraught with
suffering and misery for all man
kind and the end of which no man
can foresee. we shall not be fighting
for the political future Of a faraway
state in foreign land.
I'VE shall be fighting for the
preservation of those principles. the
destruction of which would involve
the destruction of all possibility of
peace and security for the peoples
of the world. I trust those with
whom the responsibility lies will re-
member the millions of mankind
whose fate depends on their actions,
said Chamberlain.
The prime minister's speech, de-
livered in solemn tones and with
obvious emotion, recalled to many
members of Parliament the similarly
grave speech of Lord Grey, British
foreign secretary. on the eve OF the
outbreak of the World War in 1914
Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax
made similar statement in the
House of Lords.
The Prime Minister. who wrung
his hands nervously and as usual
fumbled with his spectacles, sat
down after he had spoken 80 min
utes.
Dictator's Powers Asked.
Mr.. Chamberlain asked Parlia-
ment to give the government virtu-
ally dictatorial powers to deal with
the international situation.
New and drastic steps are re-
quired by the gravity of the situa-
ton the Prime Minister said.
The Prime Minister'S proposals
were embodied in a brief but sweep
ing emergency powers bill' which
was introduced at the opening of
Parliament's emergency session.
The measure would give the gov
ernment power to put into operation
Immediately any measures consid-
cred necessary for the national
safety. These would include such
steps as:
l. Taking over railways and other
transportation.
2. Control of food supplies.
3. Defense against air attack.
Hits at Russia.
The Russian government. he con-
tinued. while carrying on discussions
with Britain and France had been
secretly negotiating with Germany
for purposes which on the face of
it were inconsistent with the objects
of their foreign policy as we under
stood it."
The House cheered this statement

bassador, Ivan Maisky, who usually
attends important meetings of Par
