By EDWARD W. PICKARD Chancellor Hitler PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S ringing ring-ing call to all the civilized world to unite la outlawing war, In abandoning aban-doning Its weapons of offense and in agreeing not 10 send armed forces across national borders bor-ders aroused the peoples of the earth to enthusiastic approval, ap-proval, and may well prove to be the greatest act of his regime. Coming as It did when Europe Eu-rope was on edge with r u ro o r of coming war and when Chancellor Adolf Hitler was about to make his first declaration of international policy, the reaction to Mr. Roosevelt's Roose-velt's message was awaited with Intense Interest Everywhere it was considered that he was directing his admonitions especially toward Ger many and for twenty-four hours the absorbing question was "What will Hitler reply V The German chancellor had sum moned the almost obsolete relchstag to hear the speech he had prepared In seclusion, and when he delivered It, it was found that he Indorsed President Roosevelt's plan for non-aggression pact and agreed to Join It At the same time. In ringing ring-ing tones, he reiterated Germany's claim to equal armament and refused re-fused to adhere to a disarmament agreement, even If It were reached by St majority of nations, unless this demand for equality Is fully recognized. Otherwise, ho declared, Germany will withdraw from the League of Nations. The chancellor agreed with Roosevelt that lasting economic reconstruction re-construction is impossible unless the armament question is settled, and accepted the MaeDonald plan, Indorsed by Roosevelt as a basis for disarmament but Insisted any new defense system must be identical identi-cal for Germany and the other nations. na-tions. lie promised to disband the German auxiliary police and also to subject semlmllltary organizations organiza-tions to International control, pro- Tided other notions accept the same control. Hitler declared his nation had suffered too much from the Insanity of war to visit the same upon others, oth-ers, and denied that Germany con templated Invasion of either France or Poland, ne demanded revision or the Versailles treaty, asserting mat Germany had fulfilled the "un- reasonable demands' of that treaty with "suicidal loyalty." Officials of the State department In Washington said Hitler's speech was encouragingly conciliatory. In France It was not so well received. The French government was rather cool toward the Roosevelt propos-als, propos-als, and the fear was entertained in Paris that Hitler's approval of them would Isolate France. TN HIS special message to con- gress accompanying a copy of his dispatch to the nations. President Roosevelt thus summarized the peace plan that he r- the message might be the first step toward recognition of the Soviet government ,by the United States. Opinion in the United States, as reflected in editorials in newspapers of all parts of the country, was that the President had made a bold and timely move to save the world from warfare, and that it bad a chance to succeed; but there was some fear that he was trying to extend ex-tend the Monroe Doctrine over all continents, and some doubt as to what his future course would be if his proposals were rejected. Gen erally, the President was highly com mended for his energetic and enlightened en-lightened action. UNLESS Japan yields to the peace pleas of President Roosevelt Roose-velt and others which Is unlikely the Chinese may burn both Pel-ping Pel-ping and Tientsin to prevent their use as bases by the invaders. Late dispatches from Shanghai said the defenders, already driven back to a point only a few miles north of the old capital, had planned to destroy both cities if they could not hold them. All the Chinese banks In Pleplng had transferred their specie reserves to Shanghai, and British mining operations north of Tientsin had been stopped. Thousands of families had been evacuated from rapine In the belief that a Japanese air attack would soon be made. The navy office in Tokyo an nounced that the 1033 grand maneuvers maneu-vers of the navy would be held In 'seas south of Japan," beginning early in June. Admiral Mlnso Osu mi, naval minister, explained that "there Is nothing significant" In the fact that the maneuvers are being held in waters south of Japan "Such a big event cannot be staged on the sea of Japan owing to the lack of space," he said. f jssrsl i - J ih 1 1 Wi ill fcrnn- President Roocevett tad proposed 'First, that through a series of steps the weapons ef offensive warfare war-fare be ellmlnnted. "Second, that the first definite step be taken now. "Third, that while these steps are being be-ing taken no nation shall Increase existing ex-isting armaments ever and above the limitations of treaty obligations, "Fourth, that subject to existing treaty rights to nation during the disarmament period shall send any armed force of whatsoever nature across Its own borders. To the correspondents he aald he bad consulted no other governments concerning his project and had confided con-fided the plan only to Secretary of State Hull The cablegram was a complete surprise to the chancelleries of the world, and the President" direct method of approach rather stunned some of them, especially the Japanese. Jap-anese. The emperor of Japan, it was explained In the Tokyo foreign office, "never speaks with foreign nations on political matter and the foreign office cannot comment on communications to the emperor." Prime Minister MaeDonald, speak ing at a dinner of the Pilgrims society so-ciety in London, praised the Roosevelt Roose-velt plan almost extravagantly, rejoicing re-joicing that "henceforth America, ty her own declaration. Is to be In different to nothing that concerns the peace of the world." la Italy, the Balkans and Mexl- Ico, as well as elsewhere, Mr. Roose velt's proposals were received with warn approval, and Norway's cab inet was quick to be the first to ac cept them formally.

It provides for a $3,300,000,000 con-structlon con-structlon program with which It is hoped depression will be routed and the industries of the nation put on their feet . How this immense sum will be raised was left to the ways ana means committee of the house to decide. Mr. Roosevelt con ferred with Lewis W. Douglas, di rector of the budget and thereafter it was made plain that the plan to finance the program by the Is sue of greenbacks was abandoned, though Senator Glass, wisest finan cier la the Democratic party, had said he preferred that to any form of taxation, despite his general op position to inflation. The President was informed that congress would not stand for a sales tax to provide the $220,000,000 required during the first year for Interest and amortiza tion charges. The bill, as drafted by Director Douglas and others, would authorize author-ize the following construction works: 1.
