Pros? '' lit Roosevelt told hi.;
press conference he still hopes the
U. S. can stay out of the worid
conflict. His statement was made
in answer to a reporter's question
.if changing international situa
tions had caused the President
to alter his belief, stated in 193 ).
that the U. S. could and would
stay out of the war.
Navy Secretary Knox told his
press conference reports that
navy vessels were engaged in con
voy duty were "absolutely un
true," and said reports that tho
navy had lost lives, material and
equipment or had been involved
in any encounter with belligerent
craft, were "most decidedly' not
true.
OPM Director Knudson issued
a statement urging greater (de
fense efforts and said "nothing
could be further from the truth"
than that Russia's entry into tiu
war had averted danger to thi i
country. Mr. Knudson said "wj
are in somewhat better shap.'
than \vc were last surnn r but we
need ti.e spark of enthusiasm—
yes, of patriotism to carry tilt
program lonvard i:.;le.
