eminent, "peace headlines would
appear to be very empty." At the
same time Early said the reports
should not cause Americans to
"despair" of peace either.
President Roosevelt later told
his press conference that he had
no Information on the meeting
between the German and Italian
leaders, except that they had tak
en trains and had met on the
top of a pass and there was some
snow and they sat in a railroad
car for a couple of hours and
then shook hands and went home.
That's about all there was to a
long story about the meeting that
he had read, the President said.
He added that was all anybody
here knows, or in London, in
Paris or Rome or Berlin, except
the people who took part in the
meeting—meaning Hitler and
Mussolini themselves.
Early said this government had
no information supporting reports

that a 11-point peace program
had been suggested at the con
