Mr. Stanley Baldwin, addressing a crowded House of Commons, referred to the impossibility of giving a considered reply to Herr Hitler's speech in the Reich-also asserted that the world was stag, but promised that the speech would receive the fullest and fairest consideration.

The Government, said Mr. Baldwin, recognised that Hitler had made more precise the German attitude in several directions and had indicated in a number of respects what Germany was prepared to do. The Gov- ernment would devote to these points the closest atten-. tion, in a spirit of sympathy and candour.

Mr. Baldwin added that the Government would not fail to do its utmost to bring about international agreement in every direction possible.

ROOSEVELT VETO OVER-RIDDEN

REPRESENTATIVES IN

SOLID OPPOSITION

PRESIDENT'S WARNING TO THE NATION

President Roosevelt delivered his veto of the Pat- man Bonus Bill to-day and the House of Representatives promptly over-rode it, according to a United Press message from Washington.

An earlier Reuter message from Washington tells of President Roosevelt's warning to the nation, de- livered with the veto to the Bill.

President Roosevelt, says United Press, declared the Patman Bill would not improve the unemployment and "the Treasury notes would quickly return to the banks which already have more than ample credit."

Senator Pope, who had voted for the Bonus Bill in the Senate, said he had changed his view and would vote to sustain the veto.
