There is ample evidence that
the United States has put definite
end to any policy Of appeasing Japan
at the expense Of the security OF
the democracies in the Far East.
Despite the eager desire of
Japanese statesmen to avoid a
breach with America, there remains
a fundamental clash of objectives.

An Open Letter to Congress

4UE the undersigned, address you as pri-
W vate citizens anxious for the safety of
our institutions and our country in a world
overfull of hostile aggression. t
We speak for no one but ourselves but
we speak not only to put before you our
thoughts, but in the hope that we may per-
haps stimulate others to do likewise, in Or
der that you. whose duty it will be to make
decisions may be able truly to represent the
VIII of the people.
We believe that the Axis Powers-Ger-
many; italy and Japan-have clearly demon
strated that it is their purpose not merely
to defeat their present enemies, but to con-
quer and dominate the world and to impose
upon the peoples of the world a form of
physical, mental, and spiritual slavery de-
signed solely to perpetuate the mastery of
the Axis dictators.
We believe that the outcome of the pres
ent war will determine whether human dig
nifty and freedom are to perish throughout
the world for generations to come, or whe-
ther the challenge of lawless lust for power
shall be met and the would-be rulers of the
world defeated and destroyed.
We believe that a victory of the Axis
tyrannies in Europe and Asia would place
our country in an extremely preearious po-
sltion, both militarily and economically
position in which its independence could be
maintained only at great cost and sacrifice
-if indeed it could be maintained at all.
We believe that it is foolish and danger
GUS to assume in the face of SO much recent
evidence that the Axis Powers, If victorious
over the nations now resisting them, would
have no designs upon this Hemisphere. Once
they were victorious, the decision would be
theirs, not ours.
We believe that it is an illusion skillfully
propagated by Axis agents and their dupes

We believe that vast majority Of the
American people know these things and are
ready to make the sacrifice We believe they
are eager for prompt and determined leader
ship
We cannot express an opinion as to the
specific measures to be taken. We do not
know all the facts upon which to base an
opinion. We do not know, for example.
whether it is necessary to use our Navy to
help keep open the lines of supply between
America and the British Isles. We do know
that those lines of supply must be kept open
if the Axis Powers are to be defeated. We
do know they must be defeated We do know
that neither fear nor excessive caution
should stand in the way of our giving what
ever aid is needed to bring about their de-
feat.
Whether we do this or not, war may be
declared against us. But neither the threats
of the Axis Powers nor our own dread of
becoming involved as a belligeFent must be
permitted to hinder our prompt and effective
action.
We say to you, our representatives in
Congress:
This is where we stand. We are mindful
of the risks involved. We believe that these
risks must be taken in order to avoid the
far greater danger of an Axis victory. The
President has clearly and courageously de-
fined the ISSUE We ask you to act fearless
ly and swiftly, so that our country may con- =
time to be free and our children may re-
ceive from us a heritage of freedom even
greater than that which was handed down
to us by our fathers.

to think that we, as free people, could ever
come to terms" with the victorious Axis
tyrants.
We believe that only wilful blindness to
fact permits the assertion that this country
would Je in no danger if it had to face a
hostile sea power in the Atlantic as well as
another hostile sea power in the Pacific.
We believe that many Of those who say
that it is too late. that the Axis Powers can
no longer be defeated even with our help, do
not want in their hearts to have them de-
feated.
We believe that the Axis Powers can be
defeated. We have seen what British airmen
can do against German airmen five times
their number. We have seen what few
British divisions can do against twice their
own force of Fascist legions. We have seen
what the Greek army can do and the Chi
nese army against foe with every advan-
tage of equipment save the indomitable
courage of free men.
We believe that the Axis Powers Will be
defeated, if we, the people OF the United
States do our part-if we give prompt and
effective aid to those countries which are
now holding the Axis tyrants at bay. This
does not mean selling them war materials
so long as they can pay for them and so long
as it is convenient and profitable for us to
produce them. It means turning our whole
productive resources and ingenuity whole
heartedly over to one single-minded pur-
pose. 1t means subordinating our ordinary
needs to this one greater need of building
ships and planes and tanks and guns. 1t
means giving these things to those who are
fighting the battle 1t means the mobiliza-
tion of America for war-a war in which we
may be fortunate enough not to sacrifice our
blood only if We do sacrifice freely of our
wealth, and work with unfagging energy.
