Franklin Roosevelt read this latest Krock "scoop" the same morning that Adolf Hitler replied to his peace message, and he swiftly denied it.* Said he affably: "It is not true, but otherwise it is interesting and well written...

Orator Hitler in his reply last week (see p. 18) did the same, seeking to widen the split in U. S. public opinion behind the U. S. President, to bolster isolationist sentiment in the U.

The President's omission gave Herr Hitler a fine opening to shoot over the Roosevelt shoulder at Woodrow Wilson, and students of debate could but admire the adroitness with which he seized this opening. Herr Hitler has never been noted for humor. To some unsung ghostwriter, perhaps, was due an Iron Cross...
