...absence of any sharp new angle, any strong new drive in Mr. Roosevelt's messages reflected the fact that he and his Cabinet (only Messrs. Hull. Murphy, Woodring, Edison and Ickes were at hand) had been caught off-base with the rest of the world by the Hitler-Stalin deal, the sudden push for Poland. When President Moscicki replied to Mr. Roosevelt that Poland was willing to negotiate, Mr. Roosevelt forwarded that word to Herr Hitler, but without much hope of getting action. Berlin's unofficial comment was that Mr. Roosevelt's words had, as usual, arrived...

...Franklin Roosevelt settled down to supervise his sub-Cabinet's preparations to cushion war-shock for U. S. citizens, money and markets (see col. 3). He pondered addressing Joseph Stalin as an added effort, with the backing of other American republics, but held his hand. It seemed he had fired for peace all the ammunition left in his locker. Next move would be to recall Congress, ask it to revise Neutrality. But that move he could not well take before actual war broke and its form was known.

...convincing evidence of mass withdrawals even among its Jewish members. Chiefly evident were changes in the Party's U. S. "line." Hitherto the emphasis was on opposition to Fascism; now it was on Peace (but not, in the Party organs, "at any price"). By bedding with Hitler, Joseph Stalin was shown to have done him a fatal favor (PACT SPLITS AXIS WAR ALLIANCE, headlined the Daily Worker).

...whole legion of non-Communist but hitherto sympathetic pinkos, the New Republic and the Nation deplored "Stalin's Munich," Hitler's "colossal diplomatic victory." For thousands of citizens who had contributed to the Front simple libertarian goodwill, there was no outlet save a murmur of disillusion over the land. For millions of suspicious isolationists the worst opinion of the Reds was merely confirmed. Famed Editor William Allen White's son William L. reported from Emporia: ". . . No one in Kansas was stunned this morning, and we are doing business as usual. . . . It's much simpler now that...
