Somebody also said It should be presented Io manufacturer as an inducement him to start fl payroll here. But the most, sensible MigRestlon of nil comes from Erl Hardin.

thin. There is nn hurry, and IKt'fc sec how the federal work prORresses. If the government Is going to need more room, the fact a It has a fine federal building might be the determining factor. Other cltlps have fine federal buildings and use every foot ol them. And the new postofflce, as beautiful as It Is.

There Is no question but that Ihe Indle.t who are Interested In our library have the first call on tns present nostoffire building If it is to bfi sold. They have been working on the plan ever since the new post- offire has been suggested.

I have often heard Britons express the opinion that the United States must inevitably be drawn Into any general European war. British officials and Ihe press, meanwhile, are obviously going-out of their way to win American favor.

American newspaper have noticed unusual efforts recently to aid them. American ioiirl.its report a warmer welcome. Over a period of 20 years, I have never seen the British regard for Americans as high as at the present time.

Sept, (U.RI- Amerlcan officials appeared today lo hold lo Ihe position that they have stated an attitude toward potential world agjfresors but equally maintained freedom of action for the United States. The opinion advanced In Europe that this country has allied it-ielf morally with democratic European nations doss not jlmilfy here that such Independence has been sacrificed. Officials are reticent.

have asserted this government's suppcrt of any and all nations attempting to maintain peace, lnw and order In International relations. That la the role In which Great Britain and Prance are deemed to be today In their opposition to further expansion by armed force or to policies likely to precipitate conflict. Unofficial recxcmlnation of American policy followed reports from Webb Miller. European general manager of the United Press, that Europe believes that this government is helping France and Great Britain morally in their efforts to "stop Hitler." That belief in baaed on various official statements bere and abroad, especially utterances of Joseph P. Kennedy.

American ambassador to Great Britain, and William C. Bullitt, ambassador to France. There is nn suggestion of dls- rord among Mr. Roosevelt's diplomatic advfoers here and In Europe. However.

Bullilt and Kennedy are eonaldered more ReoMvelfi than Hull'j men. Bul- lilt. It appears, would go further and faster lhan Hull In an effort to check a possible Nail eastward push. Mr. Roosevelt, according to reliable reports, leans temperamentally toward B-illllt, but.

as a referee, decidex more often for Hull on question of dar-to-dar How much beyond moral and sympathetic support the United States could extend to Britain and France In event of war would depend largely upon official interpretation of certain clauses of the neutrality law. and American public opinion. The neutrality law would automatically bar sale or shipment of manufactured arras, ammunition and implements of war to any belligerent. The Johnson act would prohibit France and Britain from obtaining credits here lor war supplies, so long as those two countries were In default on their war debts. However, raw materials are not affected by the neutrality law embargo.

And credits could be obtained by the French and British by expropriating for government use those private credits and securities owned in this country by their respective nationals. Hull has never named names, except In hla official branding of Japan as an aggressor nation. But in a dosen public, speeches In which he has cited the growth of International disregard for law, order and treaty obligations, he ha.s left no doubt as to the countries of the examples he has had in mind.
