OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES currency to the following ,rI
tract of letter from one of its Washington cor.I
spondents. He first exaggerates the doubt and us|
certainty "which involve the course and policy Of A
President" and then pretends to explain it by S|
following extravagant and startling hypothesis
