26 August 1939 edition of the ''The New York Times'', conveying futile hope that World War II could be avoided. Headline informs, ''Hitler Reported to Ease Demands on Poland; London Gets Terms Today; Britain and France Firm''. Another front page article reports, ''President [Roosevelt] Hopeful'' as he makes another plea to Hitler for a peaceful negotiation to the Polish dispute. World War II would break out 6 days later with Germany invading Poland. Expected toning to paper running 16pp. and measuring 16.75'' x 22.25''. Chipping to left edge from previous binding. Overall very good plus.
