Washington, To-day.
President Roosevelt, in a broadcast address to the na- tion last night, denounced the agitation being fostered over the possibility of Ameri- can youth being sent to war.
The United States, he affirmed, was # neutral and had no intention of getting involved in war,
though it
was impossible to be neutral in thought as well as in deed, because Americans were thinking things over calmly without prejudice and making up their minds about the relative merits of current events abroad.
The country and. Congress had now learned, he said, to recognise "organised propaganda," (presum- ably a reference
to the
flood of letters and telegrams which have swamped members of Congress de. manding that there must be no repeal of the arms embargo. Reuter.

in the
of Communism as a of extricating the Nazi from the recently ac- quired embarrassments is can- vassed by students of politics in countries bordering on Germany and is the theme of an article by the diplomatic correspondent of "The Times" to-day.
There is evidence from Ger- many that such a move is meet- Ing with some encouragement in the Nazi Party, says the corres- pondent.
or
Hitler himself, as "Mein Kampf”. shows, never had any liking for the Junker landowners the large-scale capitalists and his tlie treatment of
industrialists shows that they are expected to be as docile as the rest of the German public.
Developments in the last three years have exploded the theory which was so strongly encourag- ed by Russian Communist pro- paganda that Nazi-ism was mere- ly the tool of the great capitalist interests.
German financeiers and indus- trialists and merchants are all in the grip of the Party machine against which they have no means of resistance.
Apart from a desire to weaken elements which are often critical and might turn hostile, the Nazi Party and Hitler may see in a left-- ward movement a possible way of circumventing future difficul- ties.
It might make the Russo-Ger- man Pact a mere genuine affair that it is now and would certain- revive ly help the Fuhrer to German morale by representating themselves as defenders, of the German masses against the pre- datory. capitalists of the West.- Reuter.
