Theg;-hold that the deal Is not inconsistac. ent with peace being maintained by the United States and that it does not constitute a move on the part of United States against any country. Rather it is a great security move. President Franklin D. Roosevelt describes the deal as "epochal and far reaching" in preparation for; defence against a grave menace from abroad. On the other hand, some iapja-tionlst assail the deal as "unconstitutional" and marking the final abandonment of United States neutrality. ' ......
