international allustion. "Les Temps" writes thus: "This is the moment for Herr Hitler to give his people and the whole world outstand- ing proof of the will to peace, with which he has always de clared himself animated,"
CHINA'S QUERY WASHINGTON, April 28 (Reuter)-The Chinese Ambas- sador, Mr. Hu-shih, called on the State Department and is reported to have inquired why China was excluded from the list of nations whose integrity President Roosevelt proposes should be guaranteed. A conciliatory reply was given, the precise nature of which was not revealed.
Mussolini will be awaited with profound interest throughout the world, but says that it is better to give no reply than to make promises which they are not resolutely determined to keep.
