McNary expressed an opinion last night that differed conspicuously with his running mate on the question of whether President Roosevelt is heading Am- erica toward war. Senator McNary declared that the foreign situation is not an issue in the presidential campaign. GOP Presidential Nominee Wen- dell Willkie has accused the Presi- dent of courting a war for which the United States is not prepared. Said Senator MeNary: “It is charged by many that President Roosevelt is leading us into war. But I do not make that charge.”
