In the presence of friends and

linked republicanism and Hitlerism
and assaiIed them as threats to the
security of the United States.

He said he did not wish TO

sciously giving aid and comfort
to Hitler" He added, however:
"some of the bitter attacks
on Roosevelt's program were
directly inspired by the agents

But. whatever the motive,
the effect has been the same

or well over England, to get them
