Herr Luther, very luke-warm partisan
of the Nazis, as Ambassador to the
United States, principally because Luther
is a world-recognized authority on
finance and economics. His presence
in Washington, even before the arrival
Of Ramsay Macdonald, will ease con-
siderably the situation since he will
have full authority for his government
to discuss the question of economic
revival. reduction of tariff barriers and
especially disarmament with the Pres

Mr.. Roosevelt does not want to repeat
the mistakes of his predecessor to dis
cuss complex international political

group of nations. 1t was such a method
which has rendered the London Nava
Conference difficult and its results un.
