FUTILE PROCEDURE

THE WRITING OF NOTES INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS DISSATISFACTION IN AMERICA (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) NEW YORK, Nov. 30. (Received Dec. 1, at 11.30 p.m.) The Washington correspondent of the New York Times says: “ There has, been increasing evidence for some time of dissatisfaction with the course of international affairs and the futility of Note writing. Even President Roosevelt’s so-called good neighbour policy has been, found to have limitations in operation, yet it seems indicated that the American people are an example of isolationists. The President, moreover, is preoccupied with domestic affairs. Some officials feel that the theory of democracies against dictators can be carried , too far, but all are anxious for closer collaboration with Britain, and it is believed that the issue of war debts may be resplved. There is a smooth path for such a step.”
