Roosevelt, ''Hated Yet Free,''
Is Praised by Lady Astor
Tells Reporters 1t Is
Wonderful He Does
Not Hate Critics. =
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

During an informal talk with Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his ofiice yesterday
Lady Astor American-born British
peeress, was greatly impressed by his
freedom from hate"
ITS a remarkable thing" Lady
Astor told newspaper men afterward,
that man so hated can keep from
hate himself. It's wonderful thing
to be able to not hate back"
When some one in the newspaper
group reminded her 1t was generally
believed in this country that Mr..
Roosevelt was greatly beloved, the
British peeress replied:
We'll, you should hear some of the
people I've been talking to. Then
there are people in Europe, too"
She ENTHUSIASTICALLY intending
to be more specific-the "Dillingers,
Stains and Mussolinis."
Interviews Herself.
This woman, who has been a mem
Der OF the British Parliament a good
many years, actually interviewed her
self. Her first greeting to the news
paper group awaiting her as she left
the Presidents ONCE was to this ef-
feet:
Don't ask me for an interview. It
wouldn't be right, anyhow. when 1t is
printed. Papers, as rule, get every
thing wrong.
What I think of American news
papers really wouldn't be fit to print"
she said. When pick up American
newspapers I find them saying about
the same things that they had said
months beforehand they are generally
wrong"
Lady Astor said her talk with the
President was OF general character.
She pointed out they had known
each other for very long time. I'VE
are old friends" she explained.
Then the woman member Of Parlia-
ment was asked about the troubled
conditions and war scares in Europe,
to which she replied without hesita-
ton that she thought the situation
greatly overrated When asked il
she thought everything would come
out all right in connection with the
problem presented by the Spanish
civil war, she said:
1t will If England holds her head
and Germany doesn't do ANYTHING
foolish. I think we will pull out all
right"
She expressed belief that combi-
nation between Great Britain and
America would stabilize the world.
She wanted it understood, however,
that she did not mean combinatio
which would mean the rule of the
world by these countries.
Doubts Seriousness of Strikes,
The labor situation in this country
then came up, and Lady Astor ridi-
culed the excitement the present steel
strikes are causing. She said there
have always been strikes, they have
always been settled and, in her opin-
ION, there are fewer strikes today than
there were formerly. The present steel
strikes are a mere picnic compared
with the strikes America went through
back in 1918. she declared.
Capital is organized" Lady Astor
declared and labor is going to be we'll
organized, too, but it must be or
ganized by decent people"
With this question answered the
peeress said: Why don't you ask me
whether favor bringing those Basque
children from Spain to England?'

of Spain might have the same effect
OF the incident that created such
feeling in America and made war
certain"
Chamberlain urged Britain to keep
COOL to help the government prevent
the Spanish civil war from exploding
into a general European war.
But Lloyd George attacked govern
mental policies.
He accused Chamberlain of failing
entirely to disclose to the legislators
what the real situation was or what
Italy and Germany propose to do In
Spain
Chamberlain outlined two steps to
keep the peace of Europe as he threw
open to debate the whole question of
the tense crisis growing out of the
war. He advocated:
l. Filling in the gap left in the
neutrality patrol when Germany and
Italy Indignantly withdrew from the
isolation scheme.
z. Renewing efforts to withdraw
foreign volunteers from Spain.
Both opposition leaders Maj.
Clement R. Attlee for labor, and Sir
Archibald Sinclair for the liberals
charged that the International Nom
Intervention Committee was a failure
and should be scrapped. Both urged
Great Britain to take the Spanish
issue before the League of Nations.
Franco British Program.
Chamberlain had called the Com
mons together as Great Britain and
France were reported to have de-
termined to bring the explosive situ-
alton out into the open and to ask
pointed questions of Germany and
Italy on the joint maneuvers of their
fleets in the restricted waters Of the
Mediterranean.
German and Italian warships were
massing along the empires lifeline"
as Chamberlain rose to open the full
dress" debate necessitated by the
withdrawal of the two powers from
the neutrality patrol and the threat
to the whole European neutrality
set-up.
He promised Great Britain would
not say or do anything to precipitate
situation which everybody wishes to
avoid
THE situation is serious, but not
hopeless" he declared.
Although it may be true there are
governments which desire to see one
side or the other victorious, there is
no government or country which
wants to see q European war"
Policy Of Britain.
Britain's policy, he said, has been
directed to only one aim, to keep the
peace Of Europe by keeping the war
within Spain.
I'VE intend to pursue that policy as
long Is there Is reasonable hope of
avoiding spread of the conflict" he
added.
Cries of rubbish" greeted Cham
berlain when, after declaring that in
cidents involving foreign powers were
bound to occur as long as the civil
war lasted. he said some interfer-
ence" was inevitable as result of
the powers efforts to keep arms and
men from Spain.
Although We have had to express
very definitely our dissatisfaction with
the failure Of the scheme Of non-in-
tervention," the prime minister said,
lit is true that Intervention has gone
on and is going on in spite of the non
Intervention agreement.
"Yet, it is also true that up to the
present time We have succeeded in
achieving the object which has been
At the back Of that policy the whole
