U. S. STAND UNCHANGED
Hull Says View Toward Europe
Was Stated in Speeches.

Asked for comment at his press
conference yesterday on reports from
London that the British government
was seeking some statement of policy
from the United States with regard to
the German-Czech crisis, Secretary Of
State Hull said Americas policy has
been clearly stated in the Presidents
recent speeches.
The belief here was that the United
States would issue no further state
ment about the Central European
crisis, at least for the time being.
Officials believe Great Britain is full
filling the role of mediator as con-
scientiously as could be desired and
that there is no point in the United
States taking any positive action at
this time. Consultation with Great
however, Is reported very close.
