He suld the ailniliiisl ration's course In work lug for acceptance of the moratorium was like "the wuys of an oriental potentate drunk with pow er." lie declared the President's unnflicinl poll of congress last June was "a crude attempt to usurp legislative power."

"We have cancelled." he said, "all we nre going to cancel; it is within the capacity of most of the nations of Europe to pay us the amounts they owe us, and as Ions as that fact stares us in the face It Is sheer Imbecility for us to be any more generous than we have been in the past."
