Abstract
Description
Comments on Anglo-French proposals on Abyssinia; believes damage done even if proposals don't go through; Italy threatening to go to war if oil sanctions are applied; Germany threatening to move in Central Europe; England and France want peace, but they are taking shortsighted view; better a short war now than a long and worse war later; no way U.S. can help Europe out of mess except to give moral support; Keith Merrill in Vienna in November, looked at house, and agreed U.S. should buy it as permanent residence for U.S. Ministers; wishes Mr. and Mrs. Phillips could come to Vienna for visit, but understands time is short.
