SPECULATION IN AMERICA.
PRESIDENT’S HINT OF CRISIS.
NO NEW EVIDENCE
■WASHINGTON, Feb. 20
The United States is speculating on the nature of the disturbing reports that led to President Roosevelt’s hint that Europe is moving to an early cisis. The President spoke extemporaneously, and newspapers published only third-person summaries instead of the customary official texts. The usual sources in Washington failed to produce evidence of any new turn abroad. Some quarters believe that President Roosevelt merely wanted to stress that he was watching the situation closely and obtaining full reports, though he is at sea. The Ambassador to Britain (Mr J. P. Kennedy), who cut his vacation short to return hurriedly to London, was closeted with Mr Chamberlain the day after his return. Ho obtains fairly complete reports from Mr Chamberlain.
