“ALL WANT PEACE"
AMERICAN NEUTRALITY CONTENTION
SCANT HOPE OF AGREEMENT SEEN. STATEMENT RY SENATOR JOHNSON. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. 5 WASHINGTON. July 15. Congressional opinion is sharply divided on the Roosevelt-Hull neutrality message, but apparently nobody’s attitude has changed, thereby indicating that there is scant hope that Mr Roosevelt’s wishes will be carried out.
Those opposing Mr Roosevelt’s views express the opinion that the message is simply an effort by Mr Roosevelt to place himself on record before the nation.
Senator Johnson said: "We all want peace, but in the selection of one group of belligerents who would receive every support wo might accord, Mr Hull's announced doctrine is at variance with neutrality. President Roosevelt and Mr Hull have made it crystal clear that they prefer Britain and France and their allies.”
Senator Barkley, commented: “I think the message is clear, forceful and right."
