What he said to Hitler and Benes was about what any U. S. President would have found it safe to say at such a juncture. He spoke of the "incalculable" consequences of rupturing the "fabric of peace." He disavowed for the U. S. any "mesh of hatred." He reminded his addressees of the Kellogg-Briand anti-war pact, etc. Said he: "The supreme desire of the American people is to live in peace. But in the event of a general war they face the fact that no nation can escape some measure of the consequences of such a world catastrophe...
...carded for November is another fight between Messrs. Fay & O'Connor, for the latter, to be on the safe side, entered the Republican primary also, on a straight anti-Roosevelt platform. To the disgust of young Republican leaders who are trying to "liberalize" their party, Roosevelt-hating Republicans rewarded Tammany's O'Connor for his long public service (eight House terms) by picking him as their party's nominee in the Gashouse district by majority of nearly 1,000 votes (out of 4,900 cast) over Allen Welsh Dulles, a young lawyer of considerable polish...

But the Balkan occupants had no qualms at all. If the Chewtobaccos, the big bosses, said they were safe, they must be safe. Their faith in democracy was often demonstrated just as literally. Because a giant worker heard that workers were equal with the rich, he carried a mattress, white sheets, wore silk pajamas, and one derisive titter at this display was worth a titterer's life.
