This plea the President further backed up by cabling a personal suggestion to Benito Mussolini that he say a restraining word to Herr Hitler. Mussolini already urged to this by Prime Minister Chamberlain (see p.15), had already talked to Herr Hitler by telephone when Ambassador Phillips in Rome arrived with Mr. Roosevelt's message.

The influential Aftenposten went on to urge that, without waiting for the next scheduled date for the Nobel award-December 10, anniversary of the death of Alfred Nobel-the committee should "immediately" give Mr. Chamberlain the prize (about $40.000). Norwegian joy at the peace was such that all Oslo school children were given a holiday...

They call it peace because the victor received the spoils before instead of after battle! . . . The England of Mr. Chamberlain...
...Manhattan, famed Rabbi Stephen S. Wise drew loud boos for Neville Chamberlain from 1,000 members of the United Czechoslovak Societies, declaring: "Chamberlain has not brought back peace with honor, but dishonor without peace!" Simultaneously 5,000 Manhattan high-school boys and girls of the Young Communist League marched with placards denouncing Hitler and Chamberlain until sent home by police...
