peasement. The President. we
were told, had gotten in touch
with MussOlini urging him to use
his influence for conference.
WELLES REVEALS
PRESIDENTS ACTION
The Presidents friends claimed
that MussOlini had acted as 4
result of this. Roosevelt, it was
said, had delivered his message
To MussOlini through the Ameri-
can Ambassador, william Phipps.
Then on Oct. 3, while Hitler's
legiOns were Overrunning the sac
rificed land of the Czechs, Sum-
ner Welles, underSecretary of
state, in a radio address, revealed
that the President had sent his
personal plea to MussOlini. He
then claimed credit for the Presi-
dent, intimating that MussOlini
, had acted as result of MIR.
ROOsevelt's Intervention for peace
and war had been tipped by Mr..
Roosevelt i'm these personal mes
Sages.
Five days later Secretary of
War WOodring bOasted of Mr..
ROOsevelt's part. in the course
of a few days." he declared, when
everyone else had quit, he chang
ed desperation to hope"
Various news stories appeared,
which could have originated only
in the White House, giving the
precise hours and minutes of the
Roosevelt messages, to prove that
Mr.. ROOsevelt's appeal to MussO-
lini must have done the trick.
FDR DID NOT
DICTATE TERMS
Whether Mr.. ROOsevelt's ap-
peal actually produced the con-
ference remains to be proved.
Certainly Mr.. Roosevelt did not
take part in the conference at
Munich and did not dictate its
terms. But there can be no doubt
that his supporters. one cabinet
officer, and his undersecretary of
state, after those dreadful terms
were known, publicly claimed
credit for the meeting at Munich
at which those terms were made
This would seem to make this
word "appeasement," which orig
mated at Munich, hot one fol
President Roosevelt to handle.

1t seems obvious that President
Roosevelt is going TO keep the
issue of "appeasement" TO the
front in the campaign. That, ap-
parently, is why Wendell L. Will
kie has attempted to take the ball
ON that play away from Mr..
Roosevelt. Not only did Secretary
Wallace put this issue first, but
the President used the word "ap-
peasement" i'm the per0ratiOn OF
his first admitted" political
speech,
The question now has arisen, as
a result of Mr.. Wilkes charge
did Mr.. Roosevelt have a part in
the Munich appeasement episode?
The great act Of appeasement
was the Munich pact, when Cham
berIain and Daladier stepped aside
and let Hitler march into CzechO-
slOvaxia. Mr.. Willkie says that
President Roosevelt encouraged
that meeting. Secretary Hull says
he did not; that the President
merely urged continued negOtia-
tion under the Kellogg Pact.
l have gone over the accounts
of that famous incident. Here is
what happened as far as We know
1t. Hitler was threatening to in
wade CzechOslOvakia. France said
she would fight if he did. Eng
land said she would fight if
France were attacked. On Sept.
Is, 1888, Chamberlain astOnished
the world by flying to Berchtes-
gaden, Hitler's mountain retreat.
Sept. / Chamberlain returned to
London and urged the Czechs to
turn over the Sudeten areas to
Hitler.
BRITISH, FRENCH
DEMAND CAPITULATION
On Sept. 20 CzechoslOvakia re-
piled that the terms were i'm
possible but she offered certain
other concessions. The next day,
Sept. 21, the British and French
ministers demanded immediate
capitulation by the Czechs. And
that night EdOuard Benes an
nOunced that he had no other
course and would submit.
The following day Chamberlain
