NEUTRALITY LAW
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT’S PLANS APPROACH TO POLITICAL OPPONENTS. INVITATION TO CONFERENCE.. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received This Day. 11.25 a.m.) WASHINGTON, September 18. President Roosevelt has invited Mr Landon and the known titular heads of the Republican Party to participate in a conference of the nation’s leaders at the White House on Wednesday to consider America’s neutrality programme. Senator Knox, who was Mr Landon’s running mate in 1936 (they were the official Republican candidates, Mr Landon for the Presidency and Mr Knox for the Vice-Presidency), said Mr Roosevelt would achieve “remarkable statesmanship if he included- the leaders of opposing parties in his Cabinet.”
It is understood that the conference is designed not only to enlist bi-par-tisan support for the neutrality pro.posals, but to determine strategy and keep isolationist voices at a low pitch in order to avoid a belief abroad that the nation is widely divided on Mr Roosevelt’s foreign policy.
