WAR REFERENDUM OPPOSED
MRS. ROOSEVELT GIVES REASON’S Received April 25, 6.30 p.m. WASHINGTON, April 23. Mrs. Roosevelt, at a Press Conference, opposed a war referendum on the grounds that “there might not be time. The people’s representatives should be left free to act in an emergency." She added a warning against ‘Trojan horse” tactics and subversion, coupled with a plea for civil liberties. “Even in the light of Norway's experience we must not get the jitters," she said. “The United States is not threatened yet. The country is overwhelmingly opposed to sending men to fight in foreign countries.”
