Comment On

Washington, May l6.-(AP)-PreS-
ident Roosevelt said today that inter-
national conditions were too serious
for him to interpret or comment fur

peal last night to the French people

He dismissed a barrage of press
conference questions seeking to
draw him out as 90 hypothetical.
To a remark that he made his APP
peal to the French people, over the
heads Of the French government, Mr..
Roosevelt said his statement last
night would have to speak for itself.
He suggested that the State de
partment be asked whether the
United States might take action, I'M
der its agreement with other Latin
American nations, toward taking
over some European colonies in the
western hemisphere If they were
threatened with a change # soVer

Asked whether he intended to
send a representative to the de

Washington, May l6.-(AP)-Pres-

Washington, May 10 (AP) -
President Roosevelt injected today
into a discussion of Gcrmany'S dec
laration that the Red Sea will be a
danger ION for foreign ships a point
ed reminder that twice before in his
tory the United States has used her
WarShips to protect her commerce
and obtain freedom of the seas.
He mentioned the action of the
new American republic against tbs
Barbary pirates in the Meditcrran-
can a century ago and naval action
as we'll against priVatecrs in the
Caribbean.
But when reporters inquired at a
press conference whether he thought
there were ANY modern counter
parts of the Barbary pirates he told
them merely to use their heads.
Freedom of the seas, he said, was
an historic American policy but he
did not indicate lust what the Unit
ed States might be prepared to do
about the Red Sea.
