The P resident suggested possible convoking of a general parley where all natiéns “directly interested in the present controversy” could meet and settle their troubles pacifically, but White House officials said they did not know whether the decision to hold the meeting of Hitler, Cham berlain, Mussolini and Daladier at Munich was a consequence of the Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Attorney General Homer President’s plea. and logical voice of President Roose- ~ velt,” in referring to the President’s appeals for peace Reading the ministerial declara- tion as to the results of the fou pcwer agreement over Czechoslo- vakia, Daladier said his meeting with Hitler marked the beginning of friendly relations between France and Germany.
