WAY TO PEACE
PREPARE FOR WAR BROADCAST BY ROOSEVELT AN AFFIRMATIVE POLICY (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) .Received Oct. 13, 5.18 p.m. WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. President Roosevelt, in a socalled fireside chat broadcast throughout the nation, said that the purpose of the Nine-Power Conference would be to seek by agreement a solution of the present situation in China. “It is our purpose to co-operate with the other signatories, including China and Japan,” said Mr. Roosevelt. “Such co-operation would be, for example, in the direction of discovering possible paths to follow in search for a means toward peace throughout the world. We cannot view with indifference the destruction of civilised values throughout the world. We seek peace, not only for our generation, but also for the generation of our children. 1 want our great democracy to be wise enough to realise that aloofness from war is not promoted by unawareness of war. Peace must, in a world of mutual suspicion, be affirmatively reached, for it cannot just be wished or waited for.’ ’
