LONDON'S VIEW OF THE
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

London, Dec. I've may see in
this message the words of Police Con-
stable Roosevelt, of the international
police" says the Daily Chronicle in an
editorial article this morning, the SEN
tence concentrating the aspect Of the
message of the president of the United
States which most forcibly presents
itself to that journal
On the whole the press of London
regards the message as a statesman
like. highly courageous and notable
document, which the Morning Post
ventures to think will do more than
any public utterance of recent years
TO increase sympathy between Britons
and Americans, following this express
sion with the passage from the mes
sage where President Roosevelt
speaks of the foreign policy, "as one
for which the English-speaking world
will now and hereafter be thankful"
A majority Of the newspapers edi-
torially approve Of President Roose-
velts advocacy of a strong army and
navy in order to preserve "the peace
Of Justice" and acquit Mr.. Roosevelt
of any iingo aims. Some, on the other
hand, consider the message injurious
to the ideals of disarmament and ar
bitration. The Daily Graphic, for ex-
ample, thinks the message will
strengthen the advocates of bloated
armameuts in every country"
