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.
"For unless you here in the halls of the American congress
with the support of the American people concur In the decisions

What Surrender Means to Nazis
WASHINGTON, March 1 Iff) Hero, In President Roosevelt's
words to congress, Is what unconditional surrender means for
Uormany:
1. "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." . . "

reached at "Yalta, arid give them your active support," Mr. Roose-
volt said, the meeting win not nave proaucea lasting results.
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.
