Landon Sees Danger
Alt M. Landon, the republican
presidential nominee of 1936,
also attacked the legislation last
night in a radio address at Law

most dangerous proposal ever
brought before congress.
If it passes, he said he knew
that "business is not going to
continue as usual, as the presi
dent promised us,
"I know social gains are going
to be lost, that civil rights are
going to . be Impaired, that the
cost of living will increase, and
the standards of living will be
lowered."
Landon said there was "still
time' 'to defeat the bill, and urg
ed listeners to petition their sena
tors. "Tell them the American
people do not want war."
