“MUDDLE-HEADED IDIOTS.”
ROOSEVELT ON PACIFISTS. (Received 10.50 p.m.) New York, July 27.—Mr Theodore Roosevelt. Assistant Secretary of the Navy, in a speech declared: “The limitation of armaments will be uppermost at the coming conference, but I want to say we must never, under any circumstances, put our country in a position where she will be unable to defend herself against anything and everything arising. The pacifists are muddle-headed idiots, and will shout for the United States to set an example, but we must never disarm and then wait for other armed nations to act.”—(Reuter).
