Since the arrival of Mr. Sumner Welles in Europe there have been various wild speculations as to the outcome of his visit. Most people look upon him as a messenger of peace, and predict that after ne reports to President Roosevelt, a peace plan will be put forward by America. Some people, however. -regard him as a messenger of war,
During the last great war, before FIELD COMPANY ENGINEERS the United States. entered the Mar. 28 KC.R. 5.30 pm. Tech-9.3.40. European conflict, President Wood-nical training by Sections. row Wilson sent his confidant, Colonel House, to make a round,of visits to the various countries in- volved in the quarrel, with peace proposils. After the ex-Kaiser had rejected the American ^plan. the United States then declared war against Germany.
-Therefore, it is quite logical that that Mr. many people believe Welles has been sent by President Roosevelt to precede the possible entry of the United States into the present conflict.

Bolb, "these conjectures are rather premature. Either of them is as wrong as the other. I must be remembered that 'what Mr. Welles says to the head of governments, as well as what they say to him, will te totally unknown to the out- side world!

Furthermore, these conversations are not meant to decide anything Not only are none of these people themselves able, to tell what will result from the visit, but also Pre-pany programme, sident Roosevelt is entirely power- less to control the wheel of fate in Europe. Before the outbreak of war Mr. Roosevelt once and again tried his peace move. Did he succeed? This does not mean that he is bound to fall again. But it is rather too soon to jump to. conclusions before we know what they are talking about! SIGNIFICANT POINT:
At present there is only one point of which we ought to take notice. It is significant that of all the heads of the European powells whom Mr. Welles is coming to see, Stalin is not one. Neither was Mr. Welles instructed, according to. what we have heard, to visit Fin- land, who is in the war. or any of the smaller threatened neutrals who might be involved in thế gen- eral conffer at any moment::
