FRENCH MISTRUST
DESIGNS OF GERMANY MR. ROOSEVELT’S MESSAGE PROLONGS THE UNCERTAINTY A “GRATUITOUS THREAT” (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) PARIS, May 17. President Roosevelt’s omission to announce America’s co-operation in the guarantees of peace, dominates the French comments. The Rightist organs express the opinion that it would have been better to have allowed Herr Hitler to rattle the sabre, leaving the world in no doubt regarding Germany’s designs. President Roosevelt’s allusion to the responsibility for failure is regarded in official circles as a gratuitous threat to France, if she refused to sec eye to eye with Britain and America. The Foreign Office spokesman indicates that France is ready to accept the major provisions of Mr. MacDonald’s plan.
