CUDAHY MAY QUIT

U. S. Ambassador To Bel
GUM Censured, Called
Home For Remarks

WASHINGTON, Aug. O. up -
Censured and called home for re-
marks he made about conditions in
German-occupied Belgium, Ambas'
sador John Cudahy was expected by
his friends tonight to resign from
the diplomatic service.
The state department, in a public
statement, declared the remarks
were made in "violation of standing
instructions" and disclosed that
President Roosevelt had requested
the diplomat to return for consul
%tation."
Cudahy, ambassador to Belgium
until foreign diplomatic missions
were ordered out of there last month
by Germany, drew sharp criticism
in the British press for an interview
in London in which he asserted that
Belgium faced near-famine condi-
lions by mid-September unless it re-
ceived American food supplies.
This was widely interpreted as a
hint that American food should be
allowed through the British block
ade.
In commenting on the German oc-
cupation, he also was quoted a S say
ing he thought German soldiers be-
have possibly better than United
States soldiers would have done"
Sumner Welles, acting secretary
of state, said he was sure "no one
will question the sincerity of the
ambassadors sympathetic interest
in the future well-being of the Bel
gian people, an interest which is
shared by the people of the United
States"

they will wait until after the duke

The British had preserved this
