In answer to a question which was phrased something like this, "Is President Roosevelt responsible for this war and la he the dictator which he In pictured to he.” Mr. Kexson gave his opinion that President Roosevelt realised more than any American what Hitler was up to. He Mtated as hl* opinion that as day* passed the war was inevitable and that President Roosevelt guided this country In such a splendid way that he was ahle to lie prepared, even though many thought that preparedness wax not necessary. The president went a* far as he could to avert war and our policy with Japan was one of cooperation, even np to the mlnnte that their ambassadors stood before the secretary of state with an olive branch, while their bombers were killing our soldiers and sailors. If there is any blame on President Roosevelt, it I* that he "tricked” us to Ire prepared an well as we arc. The unanimous vote of congress shows that no one individual Is responsible for the war.
