It was not anybody in Washington who brought Americans generally to apprehend their peril. It was the grim, awful fact of the collapse of France— the France which had been, without our realizing it, a barrier between us and a ruthless enemy intent on world domination. The facts, the events of these tumultuous months, have carried us to the point where we Americans are waging an undeclared war with economic weapons. Nobody has willed this. Our course has emerged with unpalatable but irrefutable logic from the shape of events. It is not only morally wrong to treat the evolution of our national policy as one man's whim. 1t is evil because it blinds honest citizens to a reality so grave we cannot afford to misinterpret it. One of his regular tasks was to address the an- nual meetings of Germans Living Abroad, an organi- zation to which was delegated the work of spreading the Nazi philosophy and preparing for whatever it might lead to. In 1938 he told such a meeting—at which there were delegates from 51 countries, includ- ing the United States—that “your organizations may be suppressed and your insignia forbidden, but not Unless the United States finds some way to pro- your National Socialist spirit and hearts.” tect shipments, we'll wind up giving the democracies Shortly after the present war started he was en- | all aid short of assistance. fi:fiinmon i« Merry- Go-Round uondnued from Page Oue) importance which would decide the fate of the United States in regard | cessors, instead of visiting the Unit-'fense chiefs on aluminum require- |ed States en route home, stopped |ments, which led to the current off at Paris or London.

Schram resented Jesse's constant intrusion, hinted that he was no political, financial and trade center for the entire Western Hemisphere.
