In sizzling bout on card studded
with plenty of active mitt-slingers,

feated Homer Robichaud, white, 126,
of Worcester, to win final honors in
the 126-pound division of the Irish
American, A.A. diamond ring tryouts,

1t was a classy affair, with both war

boxing ability. 1t was clearly Mon

both battlers as they left the ring.

ITALY PLANS NOT
TO ENTER WAR NOW

ROME-Italy maintained pc,
sition Sunday night Of virtual
neutrality, though benevolent to-
ward her axis ally, Germany.
Whether this situation Woulo
long prevail now that Great Brl'
tain and France were at war with
Germany was the dominant ques-
ton in Rome.
The British and French gov
ernments were expected to ask
the Italian government within a
few days for precise declaration
of Italy's intentions. For the mo-
ment official circles were silent
and the press failed to give a
clear indication of Italy's further
course of action.

long to, believe in the spirit of
the New Testament-a great
teaching which opposes itself to
the use of force, of armed force,
of marching armies and falling
bombs. The overwhelming mass
of our people seek peace-peace
at home, and the kind of peace
in other lands which will not jeO-
pardize peace at home.
We have certain ideas and
ideals of national safety and we
must act to preserve that safety
today and to preserve the safety
of our children in future years.
That safety is and will be
bound up with the safety of the
western hemisphere and OF the
seas adjacent thereto, We seek to
keep war from our firesides by
keeping war from coming to the
Americas. For that we have his
toric precedent that goes back to
the DAYS of the administration OF
President George Washington. 1t
is serious enough and tragic
enough to every American fam
lily in every state in the Union to
live in a world that is torn by
wars on other continents. Today
they affect every American
home. It is our national duty to
use every effort to keep them out
; of the Americas.
And at this time let me make
the simple plea that partlanshlp
and selfishness be adjourned; and
that national unity be the
thought that underlies all others.
This nation will remain a neu-
trail nation, but l cannot ask that
every American remain neutral
in thought as we'll. Even neu-
trail has a right to take account
of facts. Even a neutral cannot be
asked to close his mind or his
conscience. l have said not once
but many times that I have seen
war and that l hate war. say
that again and again.
I hope the United States Will
keep out of this war. l believe
that it will. And I give you assur-
ances that every effort of your
government will be directed to-
ward that end.
AS long as it remains within
my power to prevent, there will
be no blackout of peace in the
United States.

1t is right that l should REGAL
to your minds the consistent anc
at times successful efforts OF
YOUR government in these crises
to throw the full weight of the
United States into the cause OF

I think that we have every right

1t is right, too, to point ou1
that the unfortunate events OF

press conference on Friday, it is
of the highest Importance that
the press and the radio use the
utmost caution to discriminate
! between actual verified fact on
the one hand, and mere rumor on
the other.
l can add to that by saying
that l hope the people of this
country will also discriminate
most carefully between news and
rumor. Do not believe of neces-
sity everything you hear or read
Check up on it first.
You must master at the outset
simple but unalterable fact in
modern foreign relations. When
peace has been broken anywhere,
peace of all countries everywhere
is in danger.
1t is easy for you and me to
shrug our shoulders and say that
conflicts taking place thousands
of miles from the continental
United States, and, indeed, the
whole American hemisphere, do
not seriously affect the Americas
and that all the United States
has to do is to ignore them and
90 about cur own business. Pas
sionately though we may desire
detachment, we are forced to
realize the air, every ship that
sails the sea, every battle that is
fought does affect the American
future.
Wants Neutrality.
Let no man or woman thought
leSsly or falsely talk of America
sending it's armies to European
fields. At this moment there is
being prepared a proclamation OF
American neutrality. This WOULD
have been done even if there haC
been no neutrality statute on the
books, for this proclamation is If
accordance with internationa.
law and with American policy.
This will be followed by {
proclamation required by the ex
listing neutrality act. l trust tina
in the days to come our neutra
lily can be made a true neutra
lily.
1t is of the utmost Importance
that the people of this country
with the best information in the
world, think things through. The
most dangerous enemies O.
American peace are those who
without Well-rounded informa
ton on the whole broad Subjec
of the past, the present and the
future, undertake to speak with
authority, to talk in terms O.
glittering generalities, to give t.
the nation assurances or prophe
cies which are of little present Of
future value.
| myself cannot and do not pro
pheSy the course of event:
abroad-and the reason is tina
because l have of necessity such
a complete picture of what is 60
ing on in every part of the world

other reason is that l think it i:
