Washington, Apr. 14.
President Roosevelt was bitterly attacked in the Senate yesterday for his recent remark at Warm Springs, Ga, in which he said he would return there in the autumn "if we don't have war."
Senator Walter F. George, Democrat of Georgia, declared that the President's remark "aroused genuine fear throughout the United States."
"It ought to be made abundantly clear," he said, "that we do not intend to take this country to war. Here we are with an indebtedness of $40,000,000,000 and worrying about what is going to happen to the poor Filipinos and the fellows in London and Paris. My God! Have we gone crazy?"
Senator Robert Reynolds, Democrat of North Carolina, said he would "not give one American boy to the Orient."
Why in the hell should we worry ourselves to death about other people in the world," he said. "We ought to be worrying about our own people."
Both Senators denounced the proposed amendments to the nation's neutrality legislation as short-cuts to war.
