...Fact is, polls of public opinion on Neutrality have strongly supported the well-known Hull-Roosevelt desire to support the Democracies (with arms but not men) against the Dictators.

Hull & Roosevelt because its embargo exempted airplanes, motors and the like, which England and France need badly. Under the present Neutrality Law if Hitler marches before September U.

...headline is, of course, wholly false; so is the story. . . . The United Press has been guilty of a falsification of the actual facts. If called upon to give the source of the information, they will decline to give it. ... The fact remains that the story is contrary to every fact. ... I am calling this to the attention of the public because it represents a culmination of other false news stories to which the attention of the United Press has been called by me and by my office on previous occasions. . . . This latest episode . . . represents the limit of any decent person...
