This belief, they said, probably will keep the New York governor in the role of interested spectator during any negotiations that Pres ident Hoover's administration may conduct with European powers prior to Mr. Roosevelt's Inaugura tion as president March 4. Europe Held To Think Commission Has Power They said cable dispatches from Europe relating to President Hoo ver s proposal for a commission, clothed In the authority of both president and president-elect to study the war debt, world econom ic and disarmament problems, convinced him the Europeans would expect a gTeat deal more than fact finding from such a commission. President-elect Roosevelt con tinued his silence on the Hoover proposals and declined to discuss the matter of the telegraphic re ply he is generally understood to have made by President Hoover.
