ENVOY’S REMARKS.
PRESIDENT’S AGREEMENT. WASHINGTON, March 24. Both the United States Minister in Canada (Mr J. H. R. Cromwell) and the White House denied newspaper stories that President Roosevelt saw Mr Cromwell’s speech to the Canadian Empire Club on March 19 betore delivery. Nevertheless, there is reason to believe that President Roosevelt fully agrees with Mr Cromwell’s sentiments, ot which the New \ork Times editorially says: ‘‘They are overwhelmingly the beliefs of Americans.” It added that it was significant that the Secretary of State (Mr Cordell Hull) rebuked Mr Cromwell merely for making the speech, not for its contents.' Mr Cordell Hull recently rebuked Mr Cromwell for making a speech to the Canadian Empire Club, criticising American isolationists, and giving a warning that Germany “frankly and openly socks to destroy the institutions anil social economic order on which the United States Government is founded.”
