Hoover Opposed
To Convoys As
Aid To Britain
NEW YORK. May — Herbert
Hoover declared h re that Unit
ed States convoys will catapult
this unprepared nation into im
mediate war and paradoxically
| result in the curtailment of mat
■rial aid to Great Britain.
Using the Navy to guard war
shipments to Britain, Hoover al
' -o d?clar d. will lend to a “dic
I .atorship of our own, a total war,
I and postwar bankruptcy.”
Breaking a silence of six
' months over the controversy, as
! he called it, of “whether we
I hould be in this war,’ Hoover
-poke over a Red network of the
i NBC.
In this sentence he summed up
his convictions: “That there be
10 misunderstanding, let me state
at the outset, I support th? pro
1 vision for maximum tools of war
I for Britain. I am convinced that
we can give this to the maximum
during her next critical months
hut only if wc keep out of this
var. Putting our Navy into ac
ion, is joining this war and the
j .vhcle European situation and
he transformation of America,
i is yet unprepap d even for ade
I quate defense of our people, who
; ire not united.”
