Truly the rise of the Axis nations threatened that freedom should perish from the earth.

The blame, however, goes back not to any one incident, or any one period of weeks. It goes back much further to years and years of coddling French fascists by wealthy young career diplomats whose viewpoint has become so warped that apparently they dc not' yet see what this war is all about NOTE: Under Secretary Sumner Welles was emphatically opposed to Peyrouton but Mr. Hull consid- lers North Africa strictly his own personal territory.
