MARCH 1, 1945 Number 10402 Future Peace Responsibility Told Congress WASHINGTON, March 1 (!') President Roosevelt called on a cheering congress today to assume responsibility for underwrit ing future peace through world collaboration In the same non partisan spirit that America wages war. "We shall have to take the responsibility for world collabora tion, he doclared, "or we shall have to bear the responsibility lor anothor world conflict," Tanned and fit-looking after his 14,000-mile trip to Yalta, and back, the president sat comfortably In a red plush White House chair as he told applauding members of the house and senate that "this time we shall not make the mistake of waiting until the end of the war to set up the machinery of peace." Declaring that "world peace is not a party question any moro tluiii Is military victory," the president said "there can be no middle ground," on tho issue of world collaboration. Roosevelt Not 111 On Trip Ho had come back from tho Crimean conferences "refreshed and Inspired," Mr. Roosevelt said. Ho had not been 111, he con tinued, and not until he got back did he hear all the rumors he said had been clrculutvd about his health. Speaking "In nil frankness" to a Joint session of the senate and Iiouho, tho president wild that whether tho momentous parleys with Churchill and Stalin are to be "entirely fruitful or not lies to o great extent in your hands." Mr. Roosevelt linked "tho fate of the United States and of tho world for generations to come" on the Dumbarton Oaks and other agreements soon to be submitted for senate ratification.

"It means tho temporary control of Germany by Great Britain, Russia, Franco and the United States. 2. "It means the end of nazism and of the nazl party. 3. "It means the termination of all militaristic influence in the public, private and cultural life of Germany. 4. "It means for the nazl war criminals a punishment that Is speedy and just and severe. 0. "It means tho complete disarmamert of Germany; the de struction of its militarism and its military equipment; the end of Its production armament; the dispersal of all ot its armed forces; tho permanent dismemberment of the German general staff which has so often shattered tho peace of the world. (i. "It means that Germany will have to make reparations In kind for tho damage which it lias done to the innocent victims of Its aggression." . . " u j-WUi J! ui. j j I. UJU.H.., 4. rrr?

For Germany, the president voiced again an emphatic ulti matum of "unconditional surrender" and - indicated simultane ously that o general surrender by the nazi government was not expected. No Enslavement For Germans Mr. Roosevelt said decisions on German control reached by the Big Three nt Yalta do not mean enslavement for the Ger man people, adding: "Our objective in handling Germany is simple it is to secure tho peace of the future world." ' , . Unconditional surrender of Japan is as essential as the defeat of Germany "If our plans for world peace are to succeed," he declared, adding that Japanese militarism must be wiped out as thoroughly as German militarism. . . "It spells the end ot the system of unilateral action and ex clusive alliances and spheres of Influence and balances of power and all tho other expedients which have been tried for centuries and have failed," he said. "We propose to substitute for all of these a universal organiza tion, in which all peace-loving nations will finally have a chance '"'I'a'm confident that the congress and the American people will accept the results of this conference as the beginnings of a pcrmoncnt structure of pence upon which we con begin to build, under God, that better world In which our children and our grandchildren yours and mine, the children and grandchildren of tho whole world must live." ' ; Tho president, whose speech was broadcast, reminded the senators sitting before him that they will soon have an oppor tunity to mnko a great decision "which will determine the fate of the United States and of tho world for generations to come." ! Senate to Pass On Participation Ho apparently referred to the projected world security or ganization, Aitierican participation In which will be passed on by tho senate some time in the future. . i Discussing ot length tho Big Three agreement for1 united action in the political and economic field in liberated areas, the president mentioned the specific agreement regarding Poland's future boundaries os nn outstanding example of such, joint action. Asserting tho wholo Polish question was a potential source of troublo in postwar Europo and tho Yalta participants were determined to fintl a common ground for its solution, the presU dent said: A ,: "We did." ' ' ' The decision to partition Poland he described as a compromise under which the Poles will receive compensation in' territory in the north and west In exchange for what' they lose east of the Curzon line. The limits of the western boundary, ;he said, will be permanently fixed in the final peace conference. : . "It is well known," ho continued, "that the people east of the Curzon lino are predominantly White Russian- and Ukrainian, and tho people west of the line are predominantly Polish. As for back, as 1010 tho representatives of the allies agreed that the Curzon line represented a fair boundary between the two peoples. Hopeful Agreement Mr. Roosevelt snld ho was convinced that the agreement on Poland, under tho circumstances, is "the most hopeful agreement possible for n free, independent and prosperous Polish state. . . Tho president emphasized tho unity of the major allies and sold they are determined to continue to be unified so that "the ideal of lnstlng world peace will become a reality." Referring to somo agreements reoched at Yalta as "military secrets " he snld the nazls are learning about some of them already. "to their sorrow," and they will learn "moro about them tomorrow and the next day and every day.". , Although France was not represented at the conference, the president said "no ono' should detract from tho, recognition there accorded of her role In tho future of Europe and the world.
