The following explanation of the Alaska delegations action was re- ceived by The Sentinel this morn ing from Delegate Anthony J. Df- mond at Chicago:

Roosevelt be a candidate for reel ection to the presidency of the Uni- ted States the delegates elected by this convention to the Democratic National convention are hereby in structed to vote as a unit for his nomination and, be it further re- solved, that in the event the said honorable Franklin D.

Demos
 IncenSed Over
 Chicago Action

Alaska Democrats are up in arms over the action of their delegates to the national Democratic convention in Chicago. The delegates specifieal- ly instructed for Roosevelt, with Farley as a second choice, cast AL askas six votes for MT. Farley, even after the roll Of the states revealed the President the overwhelming choice of the convention.
 Wires poured into Chicago from Alaska donkey riders yesterday de- manding an explanation from the delegates there from Alaska.
 The Territorial convention reso- lutiOn read:
 Be it resolved that the adminis- tration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt has been of outstanding importance to Alaska and is hereby endorsed without reservation by the Democratic party of Alaska, and. be it resolved further that should the honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt be a candidate for reelection to the Presidency of the United States, the delegates elected by this convention to the Democratic National COnven- tion are hereby instructed to vote as a unit for his nomination.
 Interpretation of those challeng- ing the action of the Chicago dele gation is that the President by not definitely declaring he was not a candidate was in fact a candidate and the Alaska convention instrue- tions were binding on the delegation to support him.
 The resolution also stated that ''in the event the said honorable Franklin D. RooseevIt does not choose to be a nominee, the dele gates elected by this convention to the Democratic National Convention are hereby instructed to vote for the honorable James A. Farley, should he be a candidate for the presidency"
 Mayor Van H. Fisk of Wrangell, who introduced the Roosevelt-Far ley resolution at the Juneau con- vention last January and which was passed by unanimous vote, declared today: "There certainly was only one intention in the minds of the delegates at Juneau, and that was to support the President with MT. Farley second choice if the Presi- dent was not considered. The action of the Chicago convention is pretty vivid proof that MT. Roosevelt was not only a candidate but the great popular choice. Just how the dele gates we sent back to Chicago can interpret otherwise is certainly puzzle to me and must be to most of the Democrats in Alaska"
 In the Alaska delegation at Chi cago are National Committeeman o. G. Olson, Alaska Delegate to Con- gress Anthony J. Dimond, Terri torial Representative Harvey J. Smith of Anchorage, Territorial Re- presentative James v. Davis of Ju- neau.

PEACE OFFER MADE ENGLAND
 BY FUEHRER
.By Associated Preas)

BERLIN, July 19-Adolph Hitler, speaking before the Reiehstag to- night, addressed "one more appeal to reason to England, warning the British people would be entirely destroyed. if England insists on continuing to fight.
 Hitler emphasized he was not asking for peace in the voice of a victor demanding equalization of the Yanquished, rather as a victor pro- posing reasonable peace of which, he said British statesmen appar- ently have no conception.
 Destruction will be visited upon England if Churchill continues to demand a fight to the finish, Hitler declared, adding, but one thing is sure, no Churchill will be left"
 He explained in that case an att tempt at rehabilitation of the Bri- tain people would be left behind in London after the great assault.
 Hitler said he had ideas entirely different from those of Churchill and his colleagues. Touching on the Russo-German relations he emphas- ized there are fixed once and for all by clear delineation of interests" Recalling previous efforts to con- ciliate England, Hitler said his pol icy for European organization was based on the two-fold aim of real friendship. Italy sought a similar relationship with England, he said, and if not accepted it would doom the world.
 He did not say what was definite ly expected of Churchill in response to his peace offer to England but left no doubt any peace would bel on German terms.

Roosevelt, Wallace
 Standard Bearers
 For Democratic Party
By.Assoclated Press)

CHICAGO, July 19-In a four
 day histoTy-making convention
 the Democratic party uominat-
 ct President Franklin D. RO0se-
 welt to succeed himself as Chief
 Executive and chose Secretary
 of Agriculture Henry A. Wal
 lace as his running mate for
 Vice President. Both were cho-
 sen on the first ballot
 The President on Wednes-
 day night boiled 946 votes as
 the poll of states was taken,
 Democratic National Chairman
 James 4. Farley then moving
 to make it unanimous by ac-
 clamatiOn.
 The landslide which came for Roosevelt was not as pronounced Tor Wallace as his running mate, although it apparently expressed the Presidents wishes which the dele gates were determined to follow Speaker of the House William A. Bankhead of Alabama was given strong support against Wallace but by the time the first ballot was over last night Wallace had a top-heaYy majority of 500 and again the en- tire convention swung over to make his nomination unanimous.
 ACCEPTS
 Immediately following the Wal lace nomination, the President ad- dressed the convention by radio from the White House, accepting the nom ination on grounds of service to country during a national emergen- ey. He told the delegates he had planned to retire next January but that in the present international crisis, which, he declared, threat ems the very foundation of our de- moeracy', his conscious would not permit him not to serve his country if he was called to service by the electorate"
 Prior to the balloting on Tuesday night for the presidential candid ate, the Chief Executive released a statement through Convention Chair man Barkley in which he said the President has no desire or purpose to be a candidate for renomination and all delegates of this convention are free to vote for any candidate. "
 DRAFT ROOSEVELT
 In the bedlam which broke loose after this statement, it was evident the delegates interpreted his state ment to mean that he would accept if drafted and on the roll call it was a landslide for Roosevelt.
 Tradition was shattered as the Democratic party, without a strug gle from opposing forces within it, rolled ahead for a third term for the President. If there were more than a scattering few opposing the third term at the convention they showed no outward evidence of it. Only Alaska, Massachusetts and a few others stuck doggedly to Farley as a possible candidate to the last. Alaskas six votes, instructed by their Territorial convention to vote for Roosevelt with Farley as second choice, reversed the tables on their home folks and voted for the Post master General, even afte Tit was evident there was a landslide for the President. Massachusetts like wise was loyal to the Postmaster General but finally swung into the landslide column. Alaska at last re-
