Public mood shifts on aid to England and war policy
A Gallup Poll finds 79 percent oppose sending part of the US army to Europe to aid Britain, with air and naval units also unpopular. Yet fears rise that Washington may move toward involvement if Britain falters in Balkans, Egypt, and the Mediterranean.
