BEHIND THE SCENES A AT CASABLANCA
Roosevelt As Referee In Game Of Colonialism
Might Lead To Another War
New York, Oct. 1.
Franklin Roosevelt, during the Casablanca confer- ence of January, 1943, expressed concern over the British and French Colonial problem and even conceded that fallure to cope with it could lead to another war.
The American President even then was thinking about a United Nations Organization to handle this and other international problems. The UN did not become a reality until shortly after his death a little over two years later, The story of Roosevelt's pre- occupation with the colonial problems while he was entangled In "in-the-war" conference with Prime Minister Churchill is told by his son, Elliott Reise- volt, in un article "uarrels at Casablanca," in The earrent "Look" Magazine.

SOVIET CALLED FOR "SECOND THOUGHTS"
London, Sept. 30. The Turkish Government has now sent Britain a copy of the latest Soviet note on the status of the Black Sea straits received in Ankara on Sept. 24, a Foreign Office spokesman stated in London today. No copy has so far been re- ceived from Moscow, he added.
The spokesman said that the Soviet note is now
being considered in the Foreign Office.

Is No More
London, Sept. 30. Field Marshal Jan Smuts, Prime Minister of the Union of South Africa, declared yesterday that he believed "that war on an International scale is very improbable for at least a generation and perhaps also for a generation thereafter." The elderly statesman added, however, "I do not see a new spirit or temper in the world on which we can safely build any assurance of world peace in the more distant future." Field Marshal
