Policy as "Dictatorship ana
War" Trend; Sees Subtle Plan
Californian Challenges Those in Favor;
, of Intervention to Present Conflict I
; Resolution for Congress Test
, WASHINGTON, May ; Sl-Declaring "dictatorship and
War" had been the trend of the Roosevelt administration, Sena
tor Hiram Johnson (K-Calif) asserted Saturday night that "dis
mayed, betrayed, we reel and stagger, as we realize that the
subtle plan ia about to flower.
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"

talked of possible German, bomb

Saturday on what he had learned,

The fact that Winant flew back
to America so soon after going

that sales of defense bonds were
