ARMS POLICY
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT’S MESSAGE
RECEPTION IN UNITED STATES. VERY LITTLE OPPOSITION EXPECTED. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright NEW YORK, January 12. President Roosevelt's armament message was received by members of Congress as another step in his campaign to educate the American public to greater participation by the United States in world politi.es and was approved or deplored as the individual Congressman reacted to that course, says the Washington correspondent of the “New York Times.”
The temperate language used in the message and in the demands reassured those pacifically inclined, since they had been led to believe that something much larger would be asked for. Though there will be very little opposition from them, some Congressmen are bound to ask the Administration to point to the military menace which it has in mind.
The fundamental aim of the President seems to be to give the United States sufficient armament to throw an element of doubt in the dictators’ minds.
