TWADDLE FROM THE NEW YORK
TIMES CORRESPONDENT.
Says the United States is a Thous-
and Million of Dollars Poorer Be-
cause of the Issuance of the Mes
sage.
LONDON, Dec. 22.-The New York

LONDON, Dec. 22.-The New York
correspondent of the Times says:
Perhaps because it is Sunday, per-
haps because of the financial disasters
perhaps because of war talk and the
widening conviction that persistence in
the present policy may deepen into
war, perhaps for other reasons, there
is today a sensible improvement in
the situation. The lessons of Friday
and Saturday have not been lost. The
people of the United States are at
poorer than they were last Tuesday
when the president launched his mes
sage and menace of war"
He says of the second message: It
has not. in truth, been well received
The incredible cynicism of the mes
sage has angered the community
which knows it's present distress is
directly traceable to the presidents
policy.
Expressions are then quoted from
| anonymous sources of the anger felt
towards the president on account of
his Venezuelan message. He also
dwells upon the confusion of mind
which he sees in Congress over the
course to take in regard to the finan-
cial situation, and he intimates a be
lief that the supporters of the presl-
dent i'm Congress have been alienated
from support of his Venezuelan pohcy
by his second message. He says OF
the outlook in Wall street: The In
| terval of Sunday is thought likely to
steady mems views, and if no misfor-
| tune occurs on Monday in London it
is believed that Wall street will re-
cover a good part of its confidence.
SDeakine of the action of the Senate
ON the Hit bill, the correspondent
saws: "Messrs. Lodge and Chandler
