Wheeler distributed eirerpts from Knox' testimony. including these passages: Sen. Illram W Johnson. It.. Cal., ■What do you mean by short-of-wnr?" Knox: “I mean everything short of sending military assistance, either navy or army assistance." Johnson: "Now. yon would not go to war under any circumstances In this particular misadventure, that Is uerurrliig 111 Kurope. would you?" Knox "Thai la right." Johnson: "You never, on any occasion, would attempt to send our Isiys, as we term it. abroad lit an Kuropean controversy.” Knox: “That Is right." Chairman David I Walsh. D.. Mass.: "Doe* the committee understand that you favor moral and economic aid to the allies through the sale by the Culled Slates of goods, products and munitions by the businesses and citizens of the Culled Stales, hut you do not favor direct economic aid to the allies by the United States government Itself, or any steps by the Culled ■Stales government which will involve this country In war?" Knox: "That Is my conviction." Wheeler charged that Knox In his testimony had ipado a definite promise to limit his advocacy of address Monday night •'Col.

Moth argued that Knox "counsels open warfare, either with or without the formalities of u declaration of war.” "The words of Secretary Knox In Boston Monday carry shocking Implication*," Walsh said. "If his Utterances are In accord with the views of the president, then congress and the country have been grievously misled." Sen. Claude Pepper. F*la.. frequent administration spokesman for expanding aid to Groat Britain, said: , "'rime and history will prove that Secretary Knox was right.
