Johnson challenged those fwnoi favor Intervention in Europe to present a resolution declaring war. In a prepared radio speech (NBC), he said I that President Roosevelt "speaks with the con-I fidence of a Hitler or a Musso lini." And, he added, the presi dent's statement would put "to blush even these two braggarts." "Does he feel so confident of the congress that he can utterly disregard It?" the senator asked. "How better and braver It will be for those who are demanding war to present their resolution," he said, "and let It bo tested In stead of waiting In the dark-and sulking In the hope that some Incident will arise . . . Well meet as best we can such a resolution .'. and pray God He'll keep war from this country." , j The 74-year-old Johnson one of the senate group which blocked America's entry into the League of Nations after the last World war, said this country's entry In to the war now "could be noth ing more than disastrous." j : Referring to Mr. Roosevelt's ad dress on Tuesday night, Johnson ' asserted: "It Is pretty to hear the head of the government boast aboat what we have done In terms we do not understand and aboat oar readiness to repel attack from any qaarter. "It makes us all proud to hear him tell about ear two-ocean navy now, and how It would, as we know, give a good account of lUelf la case of war; bat It Is terrible to realise the fact that we have not as yet a two- oceaa navy, and that It could not do what la claimed for It" Saying that Mr. Roosevelt had talked of possible German, bomb ing of middle western cities, John ( middle western cities, John- contended thst the" chief ex- Ive has "artistically Dreached son ecutlve has "artistically preached fear, while decrying it He has said there is nothing to fear but fear,' and then, in bold lines, he . has drawn the picture of fear so . that our people will feel it" Norman Thomas, socialist party leader.
