Editor's Note: This Is the first
of three articles discussing, on
the basis of authoritative Infor
mation, the United States' for
eign policy. Including personal
ities, attitudes and pressure
Eroups.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. P Only
34 short years after the tragic August
of 1914. the Uvea of another, but
scarcely grown generation hang In
the balance. They hang In the crazy
balance of the mind of Adolf Hitler,
and none can foretell whether they,
or megalomania, will weigh the
heavier.
At auch a time as this. It la ap
propriate to Inquire Into the per
sonalities, the attitudes and the pres
sures which form American foreign
policy. If there la war In Europe,
American Internal atfalrs, from the
president's party purine to the maun
dertnga of the Dies -committee, will
shrink Into Insignificance. The only
Issue will be this country's neutral
ity, or non -neutrality, policy or lack
of policy in dealing with the bellig
erent nations.
Tho views nd personality of the
president of the United States, to
whom the constitution chiefly con
fides external affairs, are always the
most Immediately Important factor
In the country's foreign policy. And
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, with his
genial readiness to assxune great bur
dens, has retained a control of for
eign policy closer than any presi
dent since Woodrow Wilson.
It would be foolish to pretend thst
the president la neutral at heart.
He Is not only a strong Anglo- a: 3
Franeo-phlle. His aentlmenta toward
the British and French are Immense
ly reinforced by his Intense anti
fascist feelings. The peculiar atmos
phere of the White House breeds a
strain of Messlanm in all presidents
except those, like Warren Harding
and Calvin Coolldge. who have been
too Insensitive to notice any atmos
phere. And in Franklin Roosevelt,
this White House-bred emotion
comes perilously elo?e to a convic
tion of a mission to "make the world
safe for democracy.'
There have been Innumerable signs
of this attitude In the president,
both public and private. His dealings
with the diplomats he trusts are
sometimes notably unconventional,
going so far In one or two cases as
little official lectures against encour
aging the fascist nations. His conver
sation with his friends Is still freer,
and in It ho often points out his
duty, as the chief magistrate of the
greatest democratic nation in the
world, to defend the principles of
Americanism on the world stage.

E OF BATTLE EBBS
ON S.F. WATERFRONT AS
NEW PEACE HOPE SEEN
SAN FRANC ISOO. Sept. 1. AP)
The noise of battle died down a
bit today along San Francisco labor
front.
Warehouse operators said they
would give "serious consideration" to
new proposals of the CXO. Ware
housemen's union, brightening pros
pects for peace in the protracted
dispute In the distributing Industry.
A box car the tin ton claims was
loaded by "strike -breakers," and
which has closed more than 150 de
pots, was shunted Into Inactivity on
a side track.
Six thousand members of the Re
tall Clerks union (A.F.t.) voted oral
ly last nlghfc to withdraw their basic
demands for the 35-hour week, store
wide senorlty, and the union shop.
This had been asked by employers
as a condition of the resumption of
negotiations with 20 major depart
ment stores.
All the waterfront labor agreements
except the longshore contract were
renewed and the employers and the
longshoremen continued negotiations
with September 30 as tne deadline.
The unloading dispute tn the ware
house Industry slowed trade at many
wholesale houses In San Francisco
and caused some strange results:
Wholesalera said a pickle shortage
was near. There are plenty of pickles,
but they are In the closed ware
houses. Bonded liquors were growing
scarce.
Druggists said certain patent med
icines and narcotics were near ex

Mr Adoo Sees Kuln
Ruin for California was forecast
by Senator McAdoo if the voters
adopted the "30 every Thursday"
pension plan, which he blamed for
his defeat. The proposal to pay all
non-working people over 50 yeara old
930 a week In scrip money will ap
pear on the November ballot. The
senator termed the. Initiative meae-
dre. which Downey ' supported, "a
cruel delusion of old and deserving
people."
"I am deeply concerned about the
future of the state and about the
continued success of President Roose
velt's administration," said the sen
ator, who waa endorsed by the Pres
ident for renomlnatton.
Both Downey, eloquent 54-year old
San Francisco lawyer who abandoned
the Republican party six years ago
to support Roosevelt, and other Dem
ocratic leaders insisted his victory
did not represent a loss of prestige
for the president In California.
Downey described himself aa a more
"sincere" Roosevelt supporter than
McAdoo.
Lewis Sees Danger
Sen. James Hamilton Lewis, Illin
ois Democrat, saw "danger" in the
California election "that every other
state In the west may have inde
pendent candidates running on the
Issue of more pensions and larger
sums to be guaranteed by the gov
ernment to all Individuals."
Liberal State Sen. Culbert L. Olson
was the Democratic nominee for gov
ernor to oppose conservative Go.
Frank Merrlam whom the Republi
cans nominated. Olson waa trailing

capture the progressive party nom
ination and prevent a three-way race,
the deciding factor In Merrlam's elec

Nazi Dictator Calls Army
Generals for Conference
Sudeten Leader Also
Present at Fateful Meet
By the Associated Press
Berchtesgaden ' today became th
center of Europe's growing anxiety
aa the answer to the fateful question
peace or war apparently lay In the
hand of one man there, Adolf Hitler.
Hitter, back In his Bavarian moun
tain retreat after a whirlwind tour of
German border defenses, summoned
Field Marshal Hermann Wllhelm
Goerlng and several army generals to
Berchtesgaden.
They were to confer with Konrad
Henleln. leader of Czechoslovak's Su
deten Germans, who left Czechoslo
vakia to meet der fuehrer.
The conference was expected to
decide whether the autonqmy-seeklng
Sudeten Germans, who have Ger
many's "protection," would accept or
reject the Czechoslovak government's
latest proposals for solution of tho
Issue.
Prance ".wells Army
Prance, meanwhile, temporarily.
swelled her standing army strength to
826.000 men an increase of 135,000
over the normal 700,000 and con
fronted labor opposition to her at

national defense. , ; r
The threat of a genera strike br
200,000 textile workers of northern
France unless their demands wera
met for continuation of the 40-hour
week and higher wagea added to tha-
govornment's difficulties In marshal
ling the nation's resources.
Rolchs2uehrer Hitler waa at Berch
tesgaden, presumably pondering two
questions posed before an anxious
Europe. They were:
1. What will the outcome be when
the Issue between the Czechoslovak
government and Its Nazi-supported,
autonomy-seeking Sudeten German
minority reaches a showdown?
3. If Chancellor Hitler of Oermanr
la dissatisfied, will his decision mean
war or peace?
Look to V, S.
However, confidence seemed to ba
returning Europe could put aha
brakes to her Hipping security.

President Roosevelt might send a
