Roosevelt Peace Bid May Delay Spread Of Conflict
Weekly analysis by Joseph W. LaBine outlines Roosevelt actions to push peace talks while Europe and the Near East heat up. Turkey seizes Krupp shipyards, Nazis ousted, and a Turkish sabotage plot thwarted as Russia tightens on its border. Greece warns of war involvement amid reshuffled alliances. Britain and France reorient colonial troops to the Near East, and Italy moves toward Turkey with a trade pact. Roosevelt sends Sumner Welles to advise Berlin, Rome, London, and Paris, and Myron Taylor to the Vatican, as U S policy faces domestic criticism. Congress debates defense funding, farm aid, and trade pacts, with a looming tax levy. The war fronts show Russian progress at the Karelian isthmus stalling, Finnish aid arriving, and German propaganda on the frontier.
