Stimson Knox Testify on War Policy and Third Term
Henry L. Stimson testified before the Senate Military Committee that his nomination as Secretary of War had no political motive and he had not discussed the third term question with President Roosevelt. Col Frank Knox told the Senate naval committee he accepted the Navy post without seeking the President's position on a third term. Knox noted the surrender of France raised danger to the nation, while Stimson argued U S armament timing relies on Britain’s North Atlantic control. He urged compulsory military training as a defense measure. Holt predicted a possible open hearing and vowed to disclose all if closed.
