DISPUTE REPORTED
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT & AMBASSADOR. MR CORDELL HULL DENIES KNOWLEDGE. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) NEW YORK, May 29. According to well-informed sources, Admiral Standley, Ambassador to Russia, told Mr Roosevelt that he desired to resign immediately, reports the “New York Times’’ Washington correspondent. The resignation, which was lodged the day Mr Davies arrived in Moscow, was reported to be a vigorous one.
The correspondent adds: “It is understood that Admiral Standley is not pleased with the American technique toward Russia, and feels there should be a more vigorous assertion of America’s position, and less defence. He is also displeased with the way American affairs have been conducted in Russia, and feels that this procedure rendered his position futile. The last straw was when Mr Roosevelt sent Mr Davis to Moscow instead of transmitting the letter to Premier Stalin through the Ambassador.
The United Press of America Washington correspondent says Mr Cordell Hull flatly denied knowledge of any desire by Armiral Standley to resign his ambassadorship. ,' ‘IcJIi
