PEACE TALKS.
Urged By U.S. Isolationist Politicians. ROOSEVELT MAY REPLY. (Reed. 10.30 a.m.) NEW YORK, Dec. 27. The United States Secretary of State, Mr. Cordell Hull, when asked the possibility of American mediation for a negotiated peace, which isolationists arc at present urging, replied that he had no comment to make" for the present, says a Washington message. Previously President Roosevelt replied to a similar identical question. It is anticipated that he may answer this mediation talk during his broadcast on Sunday. Senator A. H. Vandenberg (Republican), predicting that ultimately there will be a negotiated peace, urged that America, should address inquiries to all concerned. He said such inquiries would be "particularly effective if the obvious price of a refusal of a just and realistic formula were our own powerfully enlarged activity." Senator Rush Holt (Democrat), in a radio broadcast, asked Mr. Roosevelt to bring Britain and Germany to the peace table. "You may call this appeasement," he said. "I call it common sense." ,
