SlrciL
Washington, Sept. 12—In the
i diplomatic moves and parleys
| which have kept the whole world
stirred up for the past few weeks
jthe United States has played a
| far more important part than is
generally realized. Its influence
has been thrown on the side of
England and Prance and def
initely against Germany, to the
point where the European demo
cracies are beginning to feel that
this country is definitely commit
ted to give them the fullest sup
port to the very end.
That is distinctly a wrong im
ipression. No commitment to take
iup arms to fight the battles of
jany other nation has been made
land none can be made by any
j authority but the Congress of the
(United States.
It would take a great deal more
provocation than has been given
so far to arouse the American
people to the point of going to
war. But in definitely showing
sympathy with the democratic
powers as against the dictator
ships, the Administration's moves
have had the effect of strength
ening the morale of Britain and
France, and, it is believed by
highly-placed men in the State
Department, of breaking down
the morale of Hitler and Musso
lini.
To Prevent War
The purpose of this Govern
ment is to prevent war, if that is
possible, while at the same time
preparing our national defense in
case we should be dragged into
war, and formulating a definite
foreign policy which would be ac
ceptable to everybody, a policy
which would tend to keep us out
of war rather than drive us to
ward it.
Nobody can say with certainty
how much the several appeals for
[peace sent to the Central Powers
by President Roosevelt have had
a definite influence.
The general approval of the
President's urgent plea for con
ference and negotiation between
the conflicting interests in Eu
rope is believed to have had con
siderable effect.
The President's direct appeal
to the King of Italy has served to
remind many Americans who had
almost forgotten it that Italy is,
alter all, a sovereignty with a
king at its head and that Musso
lini is merely the king's prime
minister, who can be dismissed
without notice at any time if he
gets the nation into trouble.
The information which Wash
ington gets from Europe indi
cates that the Italian government
is beginning to realize that it is
on the spot, and that its contin
ued support of Hitler is increas
ingly doubtful.
Historically, northern Italy has
always been a major battle-

ground for every great European
war. And the action of the
President in denouncing the
treaty between the United States
and Japan has made Italy's coast
defense a very serious problem.
Explains Attitude
That takes a little explaining.
As the foreign experts in Wash
ington figure it, Japan, as an ally
of Germany and Italy, undertook
to make such demonstrations
against British interests in China
and the Far East that it would be
necessary for the British fleet to
be divided to protect the strategic
ouposts of the Empire. That
would prevent the concentration
of British warships in the Med
iterranean, and leave Italy free
to lend a hand to Hitler.
But when the United States
took a strong attitude in opposi
tion to Japan, the whole picture
changed. Japan realized that it
might have to face the United
States fleet, not the British, and
immediately began to pull in its
horns.
Aggressions against the British
in China slackened or ceased en
tirely, and the Japanese govern
ment began to make, extraordi
nary efforts to cultivate Ameri
can friendship anew. Cn top of
that came the announcement of
an alliance between Germany
and Russia.
Enemy of Japan
Now, Russia is the traditional
enemy of Japan, and the Japan
ese government is not at all hap
py over the idea of continuing an
alliance with Germany while
Russia is in the same picture.
Therefore, Japan has begun to
sing small, the British have not
found it necessary to send any
part of their Mediterranean fleet
into Chinese waters, and Italy,
almost an island, is surrounded
by the ships of the most powerful
sea power in the world, with
France ready to jump her from
the first crack of a gun.
That is the way the diplomatic
soothsayers in the State Depart
ment figure it out that Italy
would be crazy to throw in with
Germany in a war against Eng
land and France, and they be
lieve that Italy realizes that and
will make as graceful an exit as
circumstances permit when the
blow-off comes.
All of which, Administration
spokesmen point out, is a triumph
for American diplomacy, a result
of the bold action of the Presi
dent in breaking off treaty rela
tions with Japan without advance
notice to anybody.
