Recapitulation of reactions among non interventionist foes to President Roosevelt’s address urging naval skippers to shoot first and ask questions later.

Reynolds of North Carolina before Newark’s Advertising Club on September 24 was canceled amid national defense concerns after President Roosevelt’s speech and Nazi sea incidents.
