ROOSEVELT’S CONSCIENCE -AS GUILTY AC CHURCHILL.” SOME VIRULENT ATTACKS. (Ry Telegraph—Press zUsociation—Copyright i LONDON, December 31. Informed circles in Berlin, commenting on President Roosevelt's speech, said everyone in Germany asked what was the reason for his nervousness and irritation. "We have one answer,” it was stated. "it is Roosevelt’s own bad canscience. He should be regarded along with Churchlil as equally guilty and ri-sponsiblf for the present situation in England. which he himself evidently already regards as lost.” Ihe morning papers in Berlin did not publish or mention Mr. Roosevelt's speech.
