But any ; about are painted fact new for attention particular the Message Has Varied Meaning For Foreign Diplomats Foreign diplomats in Washington are amazed at the character of the comment that has greeted President Roosevelt's message to congress. As they see it, the most important parts of the message have been almost ignored. So interested are they about it that many have conferred with colleagues, wondering if their knowledge of the English lan- rather the blind spots which occur when a person learns a new language, have caused them to misinterpret it. It is rather obvious, for instance, . that the German embassy here wired its government that the Pres. ident was determined to have a place at the peace conference table. Inspired stories printed in Germany and allowed to be sent out of the country by the censors have com. mented on this phase. The German reaction is that Roosevelt sure to prevent is anxious bear at the too harsh to bring peace terms pres- table being it was the a simple picture of the New of the Deal pol- cuts that Senator ogy in Taft to im- Seeks to Divert Fear of Bankruptcy and Inflation It must be borne in mind that the essence of the Roosevelt strategy to divert the fear of bankruptcy and inflation from this campaign, and hence to remove fear that the budget will not be balanced shortly, is the new tax bill. It is not big, in proportion, but it must be had if fear is to be removed. Well, congress doesn't want to vote new taxes. It is not inclined to make an issue of it, but it just intend to do it. Hence all the talk about budget studies by a special congressional committee-a committee that would report in 60 days, true. But what will it report? And even if it did advocate specific taxes, does anyone believe there would not be a minority report? No, the whole thing is a scheme to defer the evil day. Which is all right from the standpoint of the individual members of congress who must face election this fall, and most of them renomination before that. but is distinctly the ing standpoint to avoid not all right from of a New Deal wish. alarming the country about the national debt and inflation until after next November.

S. naval officers were grumbling about their patrol duties in the winter-swept Atlantic, the inter-American neutrality committee met at Rio de Janeiro. Purpose: To make the 300-mile neutrality belt around the Americas more effective, preventing recurrence of the Graf and Orion incidents. (1) An agreement to prevent belligerent craft from obtaining supplies or making repairs in a PanAmerican port once they had committed belligerent acts inside the safety zone. (2) An accord to keep submarines vutside the zone except under emergency, when they must rise to the surface. (3) A Pan-American code of neu- trality, to be followed by all nations. Many Americans, government paying who see their most of the neutrality patrol viewed the entire proceedings ae rather futile and inequitable.

Its effect, presuming the line of attack is continued, are feared on the electorate, and in the election itself. Taft's criticisms, on the other hand, are apt to plague the administration during the session of congress now sitting. At once New Dealers realized the danger. They rushed out chapter and verse of the answers to Taft-the impossibility of achieving the particular cuts he mentioned-the dire political consequences if these particular items are eliminated, or even reduced.
