cried. Bankruptcy cannot be
repealed, and the dead cannot be
brought back home"
'Tobey said most experts be-
lieve the British cannot defeat
Germany unless they invade the
continent and carry the war di-
rectly to the Reich. Britain has
an army of about 100000 men
against Hitler's 6,5OO,OOO," he said.
How do you suppose Britain
means to get the extra men un-

Tobey said the measure would

American men if the ''lease-lend"
bill becomes law, Senator Charles

the most bitter attack on the bill

Senator Tobey said the measure

President Roosevelt "the war lord
of Europe" In the most singing
terms he denounced the campaign
which he said would have the
United States attempt single
