France Clings to Peace Hopes Amid War Footing Moves
The French press summarized the peace chatter as a "horrible caricature" while France kept faith in talks. Roosevelt's second appeal to Hitler drew praise in Paris though little optimism remained as Hitler spurned American mediation. Ankara said Turkey would not break from Britain and France, and Tokyo signaled potential shifts away from Germany and Italy due to the Soviet German pact. Some sources believed Germany delayed commemorating the Tannenberg defeat to avoid a clear decision on Poland while seeking another Munich style conference.

State Department Plans To Repatriate Americans From Europe
The State Department said it would set up a special unit to evacuate Americans from Europe and to protect foreign interests if diplomacy breaks down. Embassies abroad would handle matters for belligerents, with the US possibly representing some nations’ interests. Americans may be moved on merchant ships as capacity allows, while funds can be advanced to stranded citizens. Officials warned metropolitan centers could be primary bombing targets.
