WARNING TO NAZIS
AMERICAN AMBASSADOR DOES PRESIDENT AGREE? ATTITUDE TO THE WAR (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) . WASHINGTON, Mar. 24. (Received Mar. 24, at 9 p.m.) Both Mr J. H. R. Cromwell (United States Minister to Canada) and the White House have denied the newspaper stories that President Roosevelt saw Mr Cromwell's speech to the Canadian Empire Club before, x delivery. Nevertheless, there is reason to believe that President Roosevelt fully agrees with Mr Cromwell’s sentiments, of which the New York Times, editorially, says; “ They are overwhelmingly the beliefs of Americans.” It is added that it is significant that the Secretary of State (Mr Cordell Hull) rebuked Mr Cromwell merely for making the speech, not for its contents. Mr Cromwell, addressing the Canadian Empire Club, criticised American isolationists, and issued a warning to Germany, which “ frankly and openly seeks to destroy the institutions of the social and economic order on which the United States Government' is founded. It is only too apparent that the lives, liberty, livelihood, and the very safety of the citizens of all the neutral democracies may be dependent on the outcome of the present war.”
