ISolatiOniStS Fear Mediation By Roosevelt Would Entangle America As In Wilson's Time

is known in diplomatic language as rendering good offices" That was what President Theodore Roosevelt did in 1906 when he helped Russia and Japan get together to end their war. It is also what was done more recently in the Chaco dispute.
 A tender of good offices simply means that the country which makes the offer acts-as the State Depart ment puts it---as a postoffice. It for wards messages from one belligerent to another, and is nothing more than a go-between.
 It does not take part in any con- ference which results from the ex- change of messages, and has no implied responsibility to see that peace is attained.
 As matter of fact, no offer of mediation would ever be made by any country unless the ground work had all been done in advance. A government prepared to mediate would sound out the warning parties first and ascertain that each side wanted to come to some agreement.
 It probably would get 8 pretty straight idea of the amount of give and-take that was going to be need ed Not until good deal of sub surface negotiating had gone on would an actual offer of mediation be made.

keting committee of the New Eng land Council.
 Thousands of New England man. ufacturers and retail stores, as well as all daily and weekly newspapers throughout New England have been notified of the campaign and their active participation invited, it is announced by Douglas c. Mac Keachie, chairman of the marketing committee.
 "New England Days" is an aggres- sive drive to promote the sale, on their merits, of the products of New England farms and factories, Mac Keachie declared. Several of the New England governors, and mayors and boards of selectmen of more than 60 New England cities and town are officially designating the 10-day period from October 19 to 28 as New England Days"
 Aggressive advertising programs, special posters and stickers. and also much newspaper space will tell the people of New England about the values they can obtain during the campaign. Thousands of displays of New England made and grown products will be featured in stores throughout the six states. These stores will be dressed with 84,000 pennants and 15,580 posters. The marketing committees posters will carry the slogan: "New England Sales Build New England Prosper ity." In addition 36,000 automobile stickers will be distributed to bring "New England Days" still more to public attention. Special stickers are also being used by New England manufacturers on their letterheads.
 On the basis of last years smaller campaign the marketing committee anticipates greatly increased sales of New England products. which will in turn be reflected in more jobs and larger payrolls in New England bus ineSS.
 Inaugurated last year by nine major chain store organizations, the signal success of the first New Eng land Days" campaign was so mark ed that 1t was decided to continue the program this year and enlarge its scope. The original nine chain stores have now been joined by sev- eral others, as well as by thousands of independent merchants, depart ment stores, and other organizations.
 Bodies cooperating with the mar keting committe of the New Eng land Council in "New England Days" include: 13 New England chain store organizations, New Eng land Retail Druggists, New England Hardware association, New England Retail Grocers association, New Eng land Association of Commercial Ex- ecutives, New England Newspapers Advertising Bureau, New England manufacturers through their trade and state industrial associations, chambers of commerce in New Eng land communities, New England Newspaper Publishers association, railroads and other carriers in New England.

forth messages from the belligerent parties.
 It involves sitting down with the belligerents at a conference table taking part in the argument, work ing actively to bring about settle ment-and, in the end, it involves certain moral responsibility both for seeing that a settlement is reached and for seeing that any settlement which is reached is afterward lived up to. DOWNEY SOUNDS
 WARNING OF PITFALLS
 One isolationist who feels that 8 great deal of caution ought to be exercised about any mediation pro- gram is Senator Sheridan Downey of California.
 "The conference that will even- tually end this war;" says Senator Downey, "may be a general Euro- pean conference. Aside from the warning nations, there are a score of other countries concerned in any European settlement. There would be many pitfalls for any American president who sought to take part in any such complicated conference as that.
 "On the other hand, the confer ence might not include any but the nations actually at war-Germany England and France. In that case the fortunes of the other nations would to large extent be settled by the negotiations between these three powers. Once again, 1t is easy to see the troubles which might be-
