In this connection. a local brokerage
house offered the following summary OF
the situation yesterday to its customers.
The best judgement is that there will
not be a break with Germany over the
louisiana. It is believed that some
means will be found to get around the
word Illegal and come to an under
standing. Sentiment in Congress. is
sgainst any break with Germany and
powerful pressure is being brought to
