VIGOROUS ATTACK
ON PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
SNOWDEN'S SUMMING-UP
LONDON,, July 16
"President Roosevelt has made himself the laughing-stock of tho world," writes. Viscount Snowden, formerly Chancellor of tho Exchequer, iv the "Sunday Chronicle." "Mr. Roosevelt's amazing outburst," says Lord Snowden, "will be filed >in international archives as a classic example of hectoring, conceit, and ambiguity. Mr. Roosevelt is inexperienced, and has no qualifications to. pose as an infallible leader in world affairs. A littlo modesty would have saved him froni arrogantly defying tho courteous-ly-expressed views of world leaders. "It is n,ot for America, whose reckless economic and financial policy has plunged'her into a. calamitous depression and dragged tho rest of the world down to almost her own depths of misery, to teach other nations tho load to recovery. "It was unpardonable for Mr. Roosevelt to sabotago tho Economic Conference in order to popularise himself with uninformed American opinion. His Recovery' boom has no real economic foundation. It is wholly psychological and speculative."
