U.S.A. AND WAR.
May Be Forced to Intervene In Europe. HINT DROPPED IN PARIS. (Received 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, February 23. A warning that the United States might be compelled to intervene in a European war was given by Mr. W. C. Bullitt, American Ambassador to France, in a speech which the Paris correspondent of the "News Chronicle" says he understands President Roosevelt instigated. "It is impossible to affirm that America would not be forced into a European war," said Mr. Bullitt. "We did all we could to keep out of the Great War, and we shall do our best to keep out of a future war.
"We know it is always possible that some nation may be sufficiently reckless to drive lis into war. The beginning of world jieace can be found in simultaneous action for a recovery of international trade and a limitation of arms."
French commentators consider Mr. Bullitt's speech means that America would possibly join Britain and France in an economic arms pact.
