 Belief that the United states congress would not approve radi- cal reduction led to the final con. clusion that it was vain even fo take advantage of tho offer in President Roosevelts war debt message Of last week and propose l reduction negotiations. Chamberlain, by his action, left it to the future, particularly to con- gress and the president, to take tho next step.
