ROOSEVELT a DICTATOR
President Roosevelt's emergency
proclamation was viewed as a
desperate means of smashing OPP

Nevertheless. high quarters dis
played sharp resentment al Presi-

American nations in what they
described as his panic campaign.

speak for all the nations OF the
Western Hemisphere.
"He-can- speak y-forthe
United States, and he should let
the others speak for themselves.
"Otherwise he risks being told
to mind his own business"
