 Real fact, as every official in the State Department knows, is that Ambassadors Kennedy and Bullitt have been talking their heads off against tine Nazis, and the reports of these pre-war con- versations, as relayed by Polish envoys to their foreign minister, sound extremely accurate.
 Take, for instance, the White Paper account of Ambassador Po- tocki's report of his conversation with Bill Bullitt, in which the versatile little U. s. ambassador to France said he hoped there would be war between Russia and Ger many, thus giving time for France and Great Britain to prepare for war.
 This has every ring of the truth. Everyone who knows Bull lit knows his phobia against Rus sia and his hatred of the Nazis. Also, at that time-November l, 1938-just after Munich, it was the hope of many high-placed U. s. officials, and of most British leaders, that war would break be- tween Soviet and Hitler. In fact, the British actually egged Hitler toward such fray.
 GERMAN PAPERS ... NOT FAXED
 Also it is known to everyone that Ambassador Joe Kennedy is inordinately fond of his nine chil- dren, and that his eldest son, Jo- seph Patrick, Jr., is the apple of the fathers eye. So when the Polish commercial attache quotes Ambassador Kennedy as saying: "You can't imagine to what ex- tent my eldest boy, who recently was in Poland, has the ear of the President" you can be reasonably sure that the Germans are not faking any documents.
 Ambassador Kennedy has sent Joe, Jr., on various missions arounnd Europe-to spain and Poland-and he does not hesi- tate to tell any and all what an excellent diplomat young Joe is. The quoted remark would be typi- cal.
 Again, the Poles allegedly say that Kennedy spoke with a certain disdain of Optimists who thought Germany could be de- feated easily or quickly or who counted on a quick revolution in
 Germany" Every diplomat and
 newspaperman in Washington knows this is exactly what Ken
 nedy has been reporting to the President for months, and his-
 tory has proved that he was correct.
 Then the Polish documents quote U. s. Naval Attache John A. Gade as saying that the best help the United States could give France and England was to ship 1000 airplanes within ten days af- ter the war Staretd.
 This again does not look as if the Germans faked the dOcu-
 ments. It is now public knOwl-
 edge that the chief war policy of
 the Roosevelt administration has
 been to rush planes to the Allies, and only the neutrality act at
 the start of the war prevented immediate large-scale shipments.
 It is significant that Presi- dent Roosevelt issued no sweep ing denial. He merely said that the documents should be taken with two or three grains of salt.
 NOTE- When Polish defeat neared, President MoScicki and Foreign Minister Beck both fled to Rumania by special train, without telling the people of Po- land of their departure, and with out taking along any of the archives or diplomatic reports of the Foreign Office.
 NORRIS URGES THIRD TERM Just before Roosevelt went on his last vacation cruise, Senator Norris, one of the stauncheSt sup porters the President has, went in to see him. Among other things he urged the importance of Roosevelt's running for a third term.
 Norris said that continued liberal policy was absolutely es- sential for the nation, that there was no other man who could give ft such leadership.
 In reply the President said:
 George, just don't see how I
 could live through another
 term"
