President S MESSAGE
To Reich and Poland

In Executives Efforts
To ForestuII War
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PresS.
President Roosevelt's fourth ap-
peal to Adolf Hitler in less than a
year brought forcibly home to Wash
ington officials today the gravity
with which he views the European
crisis.
To make the appeal, the President
had to overcome the fact he had
not received from Hitler any reply
to his last message in April.
Actually he had received some
thing in the nature of reply-one
of the longest Hitler speeches on
record, delivered 10 days after re-
ceipt of the Presidents April tele-
gram.
Another indication of the serious
ness of the situation was given by
the fact Mr. Roosevelt sent his mes
sages to Hitler and to President
Moscicki of Poland only few hours
after he appealed to King Victor
Emanuel of Italy to intervene in the
cause of peace.
But he did not wait for that inter-
vention either to be made or to take
effect. Apparently feeling this could
not be enough to stop conflict, the
President added his own pleas di-
rectly to the prospective contenders.
He offered three means of solving
their Observation-Disclosures, ar
bitration and conciliation.
The difference between arbitration
and conciliation is that arbitration
is binding, whereas conciliation seeks
to smooth out the points of differ
ence and then leaves it up to the
disputants to accept the views of the
conciliator.
Diplomats considered the Presi-
dents mention of a national of one
of the American republics as a pos
sible conciliator as a shrewd move.
They regarded it as compliment to
the Latin American nations with
which the United States seeks to
keep on closest terms.
1t also was an effort to make use
in the European field of the science
of arbitration and conciliation built
up in the Western Hemisphere
through a half century of Pan
American conferences.
