Nazi Charges That President Does Not Reflect Public Opinion Found Untrue; Warlike Activities Are Resented.

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP : Director; American Insti tute of Public Opinion NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—Recent statements in the Germ=n press have declared that President Roosevelt's attacks on dictatorships and the totalitarian governments do not represent the sentiments of a majority

of the American people. In the last year the American Institute of Public Opinion has conducted surveys of public sentiment on many aspects of the dictatorship issue, and has found that the great majority of American voters see eye fo eye with the Administration. The most recent studies found wid espread = resentment of the Nazi treatment of Jews and Catholics in the Reich and showed that American disapproval of Nazi policies has reached the point where 61 per cent of voters favor a boycott of German-made goods.

Austrian Coup Key

" The public's attitude toward Germany was comparatively neutral,

1 AMERICAN INSTITUTE ruBLICGrnaon

Institute studies found, up to the|

time of Adolf Hitler's seizure of - Austria early in 1938. Prior to that event a large majority of voters (62 * per cent) said they thought America would be able to stay out of a European war. But after the Austrian ‘coupe, nearly half of the voters—46 r cent—said they thought the United States would have to fight Germany again within their lifetime. The unpopularity of Germany was further increased by the Czechoslovakian crisis of last summer which led to the Munich agreement. Tests taken shortly after the parley found a sharp public reaction to the “deal” which the ‘democratic powers had

made with the dictators at Munich.

Other studies found a great distrust by the American public of Herr Hitler’s promises, for 92 per cent of the voters said they did not believe the Fuhrer’s statement that he has “no more: territorial ambitions in Europe.”

England “Favorite”

The Institute has on several occasions asked voters to name their favorite foreign country. In the most recent of these studies only 4 per cent mentioned Germany, and only 3 per cent named Italy in contrast to 48 per cent naming England—another evidence of the unpopularity of the dictatorship nations. - Russia and Japan likewise received a low vote-—2 per cent. or less. American public opinion is particularly resentful of the warlike activities of the dictator powers. When the Institute asked voters recently what nation or nations they think will be responsible for starting another world war if such a wap cones, they-named Germany, Italy, Japan and Russia in that order. :

ROOSEVELT GETS FARM PROGRAM

Bureau Seeks Vioratorium On Raising Prices or .Wage Rates.

WASHINGTON, Jat. 11 (U. P.).— The legislative prcgram of the American Farm Bureau, calling for modification of hours and wages of relief labor and suggesting that both industry end labor refrain

from advancing prices and wage rates, was before Prosident Roosevelt today. The program was taken to the White House yesterday by Edward O’Neal, head of the iederation, and a group of colleagues. It was recommended in part: “That the Federal! Government provide adequate funds to help restore agriculture, our basic industry, to parity position. “That the Federal Government continue to provide en ployment for those who cannot secure employment in private industry.

and hours of relief labor be modified so that private employment will be more attractive than "relief employment. “We insist further that Federal works projects be limited to such constructive projects as can fairly be expected to increas: national income and wealth. “We are convinced that the Federal Government mu:t continue to supply the bulk of relief funds, for the burden is beyorni the present capacity of the loca! political divisions to handle; anc we recognize the continued necessity that the Government provide capital investment funds until such time as private funds are again attracted into productive enterprise. “As a further aid to restoring economic balance, we suggest that both industry and labor refrain from advancing prices and wage rates, but that they seek higher annual income through greater volume of production and continuous employment throughout the year.”

SPENDING FOR ARMS PUT AT 16 BILLIONS

League of Nations Year Book Lists Soviets First.

GENEVA, Jan. 11 (U. P.)—The world’s armaments expenditure amounted to $16,000,000,000 in 1938, according to the armament year book of the League of Nations, issued last night. The book includes a survey of what 64 nations spent for arms last year. The increase was $2,000,000,000 over 1937. Seven nations, the United States, Cireat Britain, France, Japan, Russia, Italy and Czechoslovakia, were responsible for 78 per cent of the expenditure which included only direct military, air and naval expenditure and not semimilitary expenditure. Soviet Russia led the race with an estimated expenditure of $5,000,000,000. Britain, France, Italy, Japan and the United States followed in order. Figures for Germany were not available. Taking “into account world expenses computed on the old gold dollar basis, the seven big powers during the last 10 years spent $41,000,000,000 and the book estimates that each great power must have spent at least 5,800,000,000 gold dollars each in an arms race which it described as “a race toward grave and unknown dangers.”
