LONDON, Oct. 7. (UP) Great
Britain and Franco would be in
clined to accept mediation by Presi
dent Roosevelt only on the basis of
restoration of Polish and Czecho
slovak Independence and cast-iron
guarantee against future aggression
In Europe, it was indicated tonight
In responsible quarters.
With the government of Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain under
stood to be exchanging views with
France, there was a belief in British
circles that any feasible proposals
would have to go far beyond the
terms indicated in Adolf Hitler's
relchstag speech.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 7. ( AP) A
strong wave of sentiment developed
In the senate today for President
Roosevelt to step Into the role of
peacemaker In Europe.
Senators on both sides of the
neutrality controversy expressed the
opinion that the chief executive
should take advantage of any clear
opportunity afforded, by overtures
European war.
Administration quarters, however,
remained silent. Secretary Hull de
clined comment on the dispatches
from Berlin indicating that Chan
cellor Hitler would welcome a move
by Mr. Roosevelt to effect a Euro
pean settlement. At Hyde Park, N. Y.,
Mr. Roosevelt sent word to reporters
that he had nothing to say.
It was pointed out in authorita
tive circles that this government has
consistently taken the position that
It was ready and willing to neip
Europe reach a general understanding
on economic and disarmament ques
tions, but had no Intention of being
drawn into Its political disputes.
Berlin willing
Senate comment on the Berlin
dispatches, almost without exception.
was to the effect that there was
no reason why Mr. Roosevelt should
not endeavor to effect a peace and
every reason why he should.
Senator Johnson (D., Colo.), de
clared that It would be "a great
honor for the president to mediate
the European war."
Senator Wheeler (D.. Mont.) told
reporters that the president "has the
greatest opportunity of any American
president in history to serve human
ity and bring about a permanent
peace in Europe."
Chairman Plttman (D., Nev.) of
the senate foreign relations commit
tee voiced the opinion that the
president would not hesitate to act
"on appropriate suggestions."
Declaring he had not consulted the
White House, Plttman added that It
would be "too much responsibility"
for the chief executive to undertake
the formal role of mediator or arbi
trator.
So "Great Mistake"
Senator McCarran (D., Nev.) urged
caution against a repetition of what
he said was the "great mistake" that
Wood row Wilson made In taking an
active part In the Versailles peace
conference.

HYDE PARK, N. Y., Oct, 7. (P)
While the world looked to this quiet
Hudson valley village today for any
sign that President Roosevelt might
propose an armistice In the European
war, the chief executive let reporters
know he had no comment and then
went out to look over the trees on
hla country estate. .
He kept In close touch with Wash
ington officials, however, and the
result of one telephone conversation
was Announcement that a third for
eign submarine had been seen In
American waters some IS miles from
Miami, F1&. Its Identity and the
manner In which It was sighted was
not disclosed.
William Hassctt. a presidential
aide, discussed with Mr. Roosevelt
the Berlin reports, and then told
reporters:
"The president has specifically au
thorized me to say he will net have
any comment on the dispatches from
Berlin. There Is nothing to say."
Of the submarine, Hassett said
only that the president had author
ized him to disclose the presence of
the undersea ship In line with a
policy of reporting the sighting of
foreign warships In waters adjacent
to the United States.
At s press conference last month.
Mr. Roosevelt told of the sighting
of a foreign submarine off Boston
and another near southern Alaska.
At that time the maritime commis
sion advised American ships of their
presence and presumably this was
done with reference to the craft near
Miami.

Oregon G.O.P. Told To Back

Problems Need First
Attention.
THE DALLES, Ore., Oct. 7. P
Governor Charles A. Sprague, ad
dressing the sixth annual conven
tion of the Oregon Republican club
tonight, offered Senator Charles Me
Nary, minority leader and senior
Oregon senator, aa a 1040 presidential
candidate.
He said he doubted that McNary
would seek the nomination and Be
setted It was up to McNaTy's friends
to "carry his banner and solicit th.
support of other western states In
hla behalf. Let it be a case of the
nomination seeking the man . .
Governor Sprague described McNary
as a minority leader who had guided
the Republican party In the senate
with skill' and wisdom who "repre
sents the best type of thinking of
the Republican party, a worthy blend
of conservatlvlsm and progresslvlsm
. a man of Independence of Judg
ment ... who la sensitive to th.
nil
needs of the country." .
Governor Sprague warned th. Cre
gon Republicans not to let th. erlsia ' J
created by the European-wax draw sv , .,
curtain1' "over trie interna! problems -of
th. United States. There must
be, he said "no relaxation of th.
offort. of Republicans to present
those Issues lntelllsentlv and vigor
ously In 1940."
Prosperity at Home.
He declared that within the nmturt
States the Issu. "still ' remain, on.
of restoring the balance In our eco
nomic life which will enable th.
c o n o m 1 e organism to function
smoothly . , . more wholesome rela
tions between employer and employes,
a hotter balance between Income and
outgo In th. public treasury, a better
balance between fnrm .nrt .tin." u-
dcclared It was the Republican party
