Herriot blush for his bad Eng- lish. On it sat large-framed Richard Bedford Bennett, Prime Minister of Canada, whose eagerness to strike a quick trade & tariff bargain with the U. S. had to be restrained by President Roosevelt. On it next week were to sit Guido Jung, Italy's Minister of Finance, on his way to the U. S. aboard the Conte di Savoia...

One told how President Roosevelt and Mr. MacDonald had laid the basis of a "clearer understanding" on War Debts but, in the next breath, denied that "any plan or settlement is under way."

Herriot, Bennett, and MacDonald. It was very neatly timed. With seeming Machiavellian finesse, Roosevelt waited until the European statesmen were in Mid-Atlantic, definitely isolated from home counsels, before he announced America's abdication from the gold standard.
