WASHINGTON, April 20. --
Disappointed, though hardly sur
prised at Mussolini's disdainful
reaction to President Roosevelt's
anti-aggression plea, state depart
ment officers nevertheless found
in the Italian premier's words at
least a taint hope for peace.
They expressed belief that how
ever much the Duce derided in his
address at Rome the value of the
conference table a a means of ad
justing economic inequalities, he
still did not absolutely bar the
way to an effort at stabilizing the
European situation by collabora
tion.
While Secretary Hull and his
associates were weighing the Ital
ian leader's informal reply, there
were, elsewhere in the city, ad
ditional developments bearing
upon Americas plans for defense
and her place in foreign affairs:
Senator Green (D-RI) confer
red with President Roosevelt and
with Colonel ; Charles A. Lind
bergh, and then expressed the
opinion that if a major war should
arise, the United States "could not
