NAZIS OFFENDED.
Mrs. Roosevelt Favours Sale Of 'Planes To France.
RUDE RETORT BY PRESS
WASHINGTON*. February 8.
Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt, wife of the President, whose daily column of comment in a lar<»e 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 Berlin "Lokalanzeiger" 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 what she pleased, and expressed the hope that the Spaniards would arrive at a peace that would leave the least bitterness.
