No Enmity to German People.
My American propaganda springs
from the belief that events sooner
or later may force us into the war,
however earnest our wish and fixed
our determination to avoid embroil-
ment. 1t springs, furthermore
from a conviction that it may be
extremely difficult for the British
and the French to defeat Germany
without the United States aid. My
propaganda very definitely does not
spring from any enmity existent
in this country to the unfortunate
German people. We do not hate
the Germans. We pity them. Our
quarrel is exclusively with Hitler
and Hitlerism-With all the things
they stand for, with the brutal
suppression of human rights, po-
litical and spiritual, and with all
the other forms of tyranny which
have made the Nazi cult a stencil
