Deliberate Effort
To Hamper Aid
Policy Charged
Presidents Attack
Prompted by Query
On News Column
By JOHN c. HENRY.

President Roosevelt charged late
today that there is an organized
campaign under way to spread ru-
mors, distortions and deliberate
falsehoods to sabotage the program
of aid to opponents of Hitlerism.
The Presidents accusation, one
of the bitterest worded ever directed
by him, was prompted by question:
ing about a story appearing in
local newspaper column that the
lease-lend program is being abused
by its beneficiaries.
Specifically, according to the ques-
toner, the column said that British
representatives here had been com.
piling exorbitant expenses at the
Occidental Restaurant and meeting
them out of lease-lend funds. The
President said this assertion was not
true.
Mr.. RooSevelt's broadside against
this alleged campaign of sabotage
came during the press conference
at which he also announced tho
dispatching of a military mission
under Brig. Gen. John Magruder
to China to assist in making the
lease-lend program of maximum
effectiveness for that country.
DR.. Hu Shih, Chinese -Ambassa-
dor, had told the press such a mis-
sion was being sent after he con-
ferred with Mr.. Roosevelt at the
White House earlier today.
Tho "a
afternoon that emergency applica-
ton of the unemployment insurance
program is being studied in cases
where plants and domestic produc-
ton are being forced into closing
through shortages of materials. The
ultimate objective, he explained, Is
to work out system of giving the
plants sufficient leeway before their
closing becomes necessary to permit
transfer of workers to other EN-!
ployment.
Calls Charges Absurd.
Armed with memorandum which
indicated considerable thought had
been given earlier to the whole mat
ter. Mr.. Roosevelt was pointedly
bitter in his dissertation on the al.
legged sabotage against the aid pro.
gram.
Although he did not identify spe-
ciflcally the column to which he was
referring or from which his ques.
TONER evidently was quoting. he
made clear that he had one particu-
lar piece of writing in mind and
classified it as very good example
of the type of sabotage he meant.
1t is perfectly absurd, he declared.
to make such allegations as that
pertaining to the British restaurant
bills because it simply is not true.
All stories of this type. he went on,
are vicious rumors, distortions OF
fact or falsehoods.
Emphasizing that he was not max
ing a denial as such, Mr.. Roosevelt
explained that he was labelling this
type story for what they are, just
plain, dirty falsehoods.
As Bad as FaIsehoods.
Questioned about other stories
that the British have sold or trans
ferred lease-lend materials, the
President said specific complaint
had been investigated In that
case, it was found that, before oper-
alton of the lease-lend program.
the British had shipped steel to
fulfill an Argentine contract. while
buying American steel for their own
needs.
Only in the widest Of dreams, he
went on, could this be traced back

With the German. Embassy warning

Britain and the United States to

That the government also was de-

The Times and Advertiser COM
planned that the postwar aims
enunciated by Mr.. Roosevelt and
the British Prime Minister conceded
the very Legitimate rights which
the two countries have denied to
Japan.
The Times and Advertiser said:
80 If it is disclosed that the
democratic nations accept Japan's
conception of legitimate rights, such
as access to resources, free exchange
of trade in the co-prosperity sphere
and freedom of intercourse with
Far, Eastern nations, meaning re-

the Anglo-American alliance should

Depot Structure
Seen Available
Later for Archives

President Roosevelt late today
called for the erection of a tempo
rary War Department building Of
from two million to two and a
quarter million square feet of space
on the so-called Quartermaster
Depot site in Arlington County. Va.
At the same time the President
said he was anxious to have the
Northwest Rectangle in the District
brought to completion in the not too
distan fuure. He said the Army
could occupy the structure to be put
up in Arlington during the emer-
gency, but that when peace returns
the Army will be able to transfer its
activities to the rectangle building.
The President said that perhaps
q small portion of an automobile
parking area adjacent to the Ar
lington War Department Building
would encroach on the old Expert
mental Farm tract. He said, how
ever. that this would not raise
aesthetic objections, explaining that
the southern extremity of the farm
is far removed from the gates of
Arlington Cemetery.
The President said he felt the coun-
try was in need of great records
building, and pointed out that with
the peacetime shift of Army person.
mel from Arlington to the Northwest
Rectangle, the building to be put
up on the Quartermaster Depot site
could be turned over to this usage.
Mr. Roosevelt said this great rec
ords building could be used for stor-
ing millions and millions of files
not current or actually part of the
Government establishment-which
have been accumulating in various
Government agencies for many
years.
Warns of Congestion.
In discussing the size of the build
ing to be erected in Arlington, the
President said he believed that to
provide any more than two and a
quarter million square feet of space
would result in congregation Of
employees so vast it would be impos-
sible to get free flow of traffic
to and from the department without
staggering working hours at least
two hours morning and afternoon.
The President related, in talking
about the ultimate use of the Ar
lington War Department structure
as records building, how he re-
Gently opened at random a door in
the State Department Building to
be confronted with a mountainous
pile of consular reports occupying a
great deal of much needed space.
Upon examination of these re-
ports, he went on, he found them to
contain data compiled from 1907 to
1911 on the history and future of
the Mongolian pony.
Aims at tMonstr0sities.)
This was very nice, but it Ger
tainly could not be considered i'm
portant or current, the President
observed.
With the return of peace and the
transfer of the War Department
from Virginia to Washington. the
President said he hoped it would
be possible to tear down the two
monstrosities on Constitution ave-
nue.. He explained that this was
his term for the War and Navy
Buildings on the Mall, dating back
to World War days.
The Presidents order regarding
the size of the projected building
virtually cuts in half its dimensions
as originally proposed by the Army.
The first draft of the plans called
for a building providing 100000
square feet of office space.
