ASKED BY ROOSEVELT

cupy positions Of commanding in
fluence and power.
Regarding the administrator
foreign policy, Mr.. Roosevelt pledg-
ed post war Germany would be
shorn of every single element Of
military po)er - or of potential
military power and stern pun
ishment'' for wa~ leaders respon-
sible for the "agony Of mankind. :"
No Secret Commitments
He asserted, also, that the ad-
ministration had no unconstitution-
al secret commitments in foreign
relations.
"After my return from Teheran,"
Mr.. Roosevelt said, 81 stated Off
cially that no secret commitments
had been made. The issue then is
between my veracity and the con-
tinuing assertion OF those who have
no responsibility in the foreign
field-or, perhaps I should say. a
field foreign to them"
After the end of a day which
saw him campaigning through the
rain for the millions of votes New
York City will cast Nov. 7, the
president dealt point-by point with
criticism 1eveled at administration
foreign policies by Gov. Thomas E..
Dewey. But not once did he speak
Dewey's name.
But there was no mistaking his
meaning when he remarked:
These days - and I am now
speaking of October, 1944-I hear
voices on the air attacking me for
my failure to prepare this nation
for this war and to warn the Amer
lean people of the approaching
tragedy.
'These same voices were not so
very audible five years ago-or ev-
en- four years ago-giving warning
Of the grave peril which we then
faced"
Shall Not Bargain
Mr.. Roosevelt asserted tn t
America and her Allies are ZEN
tirely agreed that we shall not bar
gain with the Nazi conspirators,"
or leave them shred of open or
secret control OF instruments Of
government. Nor, he said, will they
be left single element of military
power or potential military power.
German people, he pledged, will
rot be enslaved, but there will be
stern punishment for those in Ger
many directly responsible for this
agony of mankind"
Thus, apparently, the chief exc
cutive gave his answer to Dewey,
who commended in speech last
Wednesday that the administration
had no plan for dealing with Ger
many and that this had resulted
in the shedding Of American blood.
The President said he was not
talking with "rancor or snap judg-
ment,'' and that he was speaking
without losing his temper or head.
He added solsmnly that he be-
lieved at the end OF the last war
and still believes now that endur-
ing world peace has no chance
unless America coorerates in win
ming and maintaining it. Words, he
said, must be with the deed.
Amplifyig that point a bit Ia
ter, the President said:
1.-THE council of the United Ma
tons must have the power to act
quickly and decisively to keep the
peace by force, If necessary. A
policeman would not be a very ef-
fective policeman if. when he saw
a felon break into a house, he
had to 60 to the townhall and
call a town meeting to issue a
warrant before the felon could be
arrested"
1t is clear, he asserted, that If
world organization is to have

be endowed in advance by h e
people themselves, by constitution
