MR. KENNEDY'S VIEWS
AID BILL OPPOSED
SUCCESSOR SAID TO HAVE BEEN CHOSEN
NEW YORK, January 16
The "Daily News," in a copyright dispatch from Washington, said that at a dramatic White House conference the former Ambassador to Britain, Mr. J. P. Kennedy, told President Roosevelt that he opposed the Aid to Britain Bill, and in a Saturday night radio broadcast will make an all-out effort to keep the United States at
peace. He will also oppose the Bill before the House and Senate Foreign Affairs Committees.
The correspondent said Mr. Kennedy told the President that he still favoured all proper aid to Britain thai would not weaken the United States' defences. He said the President told Mr. Kennedy that he had already chosen his successor, whose name would be sent to the Senate shortly In the interim Mr. Kennedy was no longer restricted by the bonds of official silence and obedience.
