LUDLOW BLAST
BY PRESIDENT
EXPECTED SOON
BY EARL GOODWIN

The Administration takes the
Ludlow war referendum so seri.
ousIy that it is expected President
Roosevelt himself will lambast the
Hoosier Congressman's resolution
-almost ready for a vote-and
that Secretary Of War Woodring
will deliver two strong anti-Lud-
low speeches.
Government officials believe the
Ludlow resolution seriously weak
els the country's prestige abroad
in the more warlike and "aggres-
sor" nations and that it would tie
the Governments hands in case
it should be decided that a quick
attack should be made on some
nation which was about to ingade
Americas shore or interfere with
American rights abroad.
There is much strength for
the Ludlow plan Of popular
referendum before war can be de.
clared, that the Administration
wants to give it as much adverse
publicity as possible just before
the resolution comes up for a vote
in the House next week.
