prevail in the postwar world and

help frame the peace, President
Roosevelt warned today that it
will be perhaps three years be-

The Presidents remarks were
made informally to the diplomatic
representatives of the other western
nations as he received them at the
White House in commemoration of
Pan-American Day.
To them he spoke with marked
pleasure of the degree of solidarity
and unanimity which has been
achieved in the face of the world

war self determination seemingly
calculated to offset Axis propa-
ganda charges of attempted domi-
nation of these other governments
by that of the United States.

Throughout his brief address. the
Chief Executive made clear his own
