NAZIS DEFIED
WILL NOT BE MUZZLED MRS ROOSEVELT’S REJOINDER (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 Mrs Franklin Roosevelt, wife of the President, whose daily column of comment in a large number of newspapers is internationally famous, but almost always avoids controversial questions, to-day took issue with the Nazi press efforts to “muzzle" her. Referring to the Rerlin Lokalanzeiger s warning to her to “keep her
pen away from things of which she is ignorant," she expressed surprise that the Nazis took umbrage at her defence of the sale of aeroplanes to France, since “their whole attitude was that women did not count.” Mrs Roosevelt added that she would write wha/t she pleased, and expressed the hope that the Spaniards would arrive at a peace that would leave the least bitterness.
