PRESIDENT'S POSITION
RELATION TO CONGRESS AMBASSADOR’S STATEMENT LONDON, Dec. 6.
The criticism that the President proposes and Congress disposes in such matters as the League of Nations and the World Court Was formerly fair, hut it no longer holds good, said tlie United States Ambassador, Mr. R. W. Bingham. President Roosevelt, lie said, was m a unique position. He was not merely a democratic hut a national President. _ He would never propose anything to' Congress unless he was certain beforehand that Congress would accept it. Therefore, it Britain reached any understanding with President Roosevelt, she would reach a certain, binding; and lasting understanding with the American nation.
If Britain and the United States agreed on any diplomatic pi’oblem that problem would cease to exist, because no combination of influences could challenge its decisiveness. Every intelligent person in America realised tlie vital importance to the whole world of effective co-opera-tion among all Elfish-Speaking peoples
