Dewey Rejects Idea

Personal Par|eys
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 1.-Gov
Thomas E. Dewey of New York says
the peace after the war must be no
paper peace" nor the dictated result
of personal conferences"
Sharing the speakers platform
with Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, he told
a rally opening the American Red
Cross 1914 War Fund campaign for
5000 100000 last night:
When this war comes to an end,
there will sooner or later be signed
a document which will vitally affect
the future of the world But the
work OF building the peace will then
be just commenced. For this must
be no paper peace
1T must not be the dictated re-
suit of personal conferences. 1t
must not be a rigid, inflexible thing
The peace for which we fight must
provide peoples everywhere with
simple, understandable means of
bringing to an end the horror of
war"
He called the Red Cross drive "the
living proof of the relationship be-
tween human beings, which must be
the foundation of the peace we pro-
pose to win, else there will be no
peace"
Mrs. Roosevelt said that as great
as the money raising task was, it
was not as great as the work of the
Red Cross workers, "and does not
even touch the task which the men
who risk their lives for this coun-
try day by day continually perform. :"

sible for distribution among Amer
lean troops of news pamphlet con-
tanning story that political foes of
President Roosevelt are ready to
spend $4,000, 900 to block a fourth

Mr.. Davis characterized inclusion
OF the story in the news sheet for

in judgment. He said he was salts
fled the British Ministry of Infor-
nation didn't know it was to be
done.
In a letter yesterday replying to
request from Senator Byrd, DEM

ton OF the incident, Mr.. Davis said
proper steps" were being taken to
prevent a repetition.
He said the story was sent from
the United States by a news agency
which he did not name, and had
been printed in British papers.
CIhe news story was not an
Associated Press dispatch.)
Senator Byrd, in a second letter to
Mr.. Davis, asked for the name of the
agency. The Senator called the story
obvious propaganda.
In his account of how the story
was distributed, Mr.. Davis wrote:
In a laudable effort to extend
hospitality to arriving American
troops, the British Ministry of In
formation has had a large quantity
of four-page leaflets prepared. With
two of the pages left blank, these
leaflets are distributed to various
of the principal ports Of entry to the
British Isles, where they are placed
in the hands of local newspaper
editors.
Upon learning of the arrival Of
American troops, the local editors
select recent items of American news
in which they think the American
soldier will be interested. They
print these news items on the blank
pages and distribute the leaflets.
I'm the case under discussion, a
local editor at one of the ports, on
his own initiative, and not at the
instigation of the British Ministry
of Information, selected as a news
