The comment dismissed reports current since last night that the British navy had seized the German liner and held her in British waters. The admiralty appended its Bremen comment on a statement saying there was no foundation to other rumors that the British ships Hood, Renown and Repulse had been lost.

The whereabouts of the German luxury liner, third largest in the world, has become one of the piquant mysteries of the war. Since she hurried out of New York harbor August 30 three days before England declared war the Bremen has been variously reported safely interned in a neutral port, purchased and transferred to Italian registry, and captured by the British navy.

The assassination of Rumania's premier, Armand Calinescu, by pro-Nazi extremists, threatened tonight to push all of southeastern Europe off a delicate balance between peace and chaos. Dismay and consternation were the immediate reaction in the capitals of Turkey, Greece and Yugoslavia where Calinescu was regarded as a strong friend.

At this same spot tonight, the eight alleged slayers were executed by firing squads in the presence a huge crowd. Their bodies were left lying on the pavement in pools of blood while thousands of on-i lookers filed past. An official announcement said the execution was thus arranged as a "public example" to all "wha would follow the Iron Guard.

Ormand said that in the four years planes have dusted for insects the cotton growing on some 5,000 acres the idea of seeding had never before hit him. During this last dusting, three times over the 5,000 acres and all done in six weeks by the airplane, the idea didn't come to him until the last day of the dusting.

21. (JPh-Premier Edouard Daladier told the world tonight that Adolf Hitler checked the peace efforts of the "highest moral and political' authorities of the United States at the same time he spumed those of the European nations now fighting him. The French premier's world broadcast declaring France would fight until "complete victory" crushed Hitler and Germany's dream of "world domination" was timed to coincide with President Roosevelt's message to congress proposing repeal of the arms embargo. As Daladier spoke, the French on the western front were reported strengthening their lines in German territory to withstand the shock of an offensive the Germans were believed preparing. Daladier said frankly that the reason President Roosevelt's appeals for peace failed was that a secret agreement on the partition of Poland had been concluded between Russia and Germany.

Daladier, in an emotional appeal, shouted to the French that "the destruction of Poland had been resolved secretly in advance." In a reference to the abruptly broken off negotiations between Russia, Britain and France which he once referred to as a "stop Hitler" move, the French premier declared that "Poland's destruction was being prepared by arms and secret treaties even while there was a pretense of negotiations." The Russian army, Daladier said, struck Poland in the rear "as the result of a secret "In reality," said Daladier, "an accord for the dismemberment of Poland was concluded between Germany and the U.

Academically this may have been instructive as it may have beep of interest to historians to discuss the pros and cons and the rights and wrongs of the World war during the decade that followed it. But in the light of problems of today and tomorrow responsibility for acts of aggression is not concealed, and the writing of the record can safely be left to future historians.

Let no group assume the exclusive label of the peace "bloc." We all belong to it. I have at all times kept the congress and the American people informed of events and trends in foreign affairs. I now review them in a spirit of understatement. U.

S. Has Fought War Since 1931 the use of force instead of the council table has constantly increased in the settlement of disputes between nations except in the western hemisphere where there has been only one war, now happily terminated. During these years also the building up of vast armies, navies and storehouses of war has proceeded abroad with growing speed and intensity. But, during these years, and extending back even to the days of the Kellogg-Briand pact, the Unit message to congress follows: I have asked the congress to reassemble in extraordinary session in order that it may consider and act on the amendment of. certain legislation, which, in my best judgment, so alters the historic foreign policy of the United States that it impairs the peaceful relations of the United States wtih foreign nations.

All Want Peace At the outset I proceed on the assumption that every member of the senate and of the house of representatives, and every member of the executive branch of the govern-mnt, including the President and his associates, personally and officially, are equally and without reservation in favor of such measures as will protect the neutrality, the safety and the integrity of our country and at the same time keep us out of war. Because I am wholly willing to ascribe an honorable desire for peace to those who hold different views rbm my own as to what those measures should be, I trust that these gentlemen will be suf-f icientj generous to ascribe equally. only because any war anywhere necessarily hurts American security and American prosperity, but because of the more important fact that any war anywhere retards the progress of morality and religion and impairs the security of civilization itself. He Expects to Keep Out For many years the primary purpose of our foreign policy has been that this nation and this government should strive to the utmost to aid in avoiding war among other nations. But if and when war unhappily comes, the government and the nation must exert every possible effort to avoid being drawn into the war.

The executive branch of the government id its utmost, within our traditional policy of non-involvement, to aid in averting the present appalling war. Having thus striven and failed, this government must lose no time or effort to keep the nation from being drawn into the war. In my candid Judgment we shall succeed in these efforts.
