Warned that America must forge
her weapons before it is too late.
delegates here for the Continental
Congress for Freedom" today visited
their Senators and Representatives
to urge immediate action on repeal OF
the Neutrality Act and support Of
the Roosevelt foreign policy
The warning came from Douglas
Miller, author of You Can't Do
Business With Hitler" who spoke
before nearly 400 delegates from all
over the United States assembled at
banquet at the Washington Hotel
last night.
IF Hitler controls the ocean Mr.
Miller cautioned, no American lives
or property would be safe outside OF
gunshot of our shores"
Lindbergh Kin Present.
Mrs. Dwight Morrow, wife OF the
late diplomat and mother-in-law of
Charles A. Lindbergh. and Augustus
F. Lindbergh, relative of the flyer.
were among those attending the
dinner. Both disagree with the
flyers isolationist views on foreign
policy.
Augustus Lindbergh, a Birming-
ham (Ala0 attorney, advocated re-
peal of the neutrality laws at an
earlier session yesterday.
Similar appeals for all-out action
and repeal Of the Neutrality Act
were heard during the evening from
John Green, president of the In
dustrial Union of Marine and Ship
building Workers of America. and
Senator Lister Hill, Democrat, OF
Alabama.
In his talk. Mr.. Miller pointed out
that Europe under Nazi rule. cannot
settle down because it would be
dangerous for Hitler to demobilize
his armed forces and release his
/ soldiers from their iron discipline.
He said the whole plan of the total
itarians is to swallow up private
business and to make Europe as
/ self-supporting and as blockade
proof as possible.
The author said it has been nee
essary for the American people to
make a fateful decision-to appeaSe
or oppose Hitler, to resist or sur
render. He added that there Is no
middle ground and that it is easier
to say no to Hitler at the very be-
ginning than it ever would be again.
Labor's Loss Cited.
Mr.. Green told the assembly that
workers in the shipbuilding industry
are behind the administration ;
foreign policy because they know
in their hearts that unless We stop
this spread of Nazi-ism. this cursed
system eventually will engulf US
all, and the workers will be the
first and last to suffer
He also said that if the Neutrality
Act stands in the way taddlng
quickly that he thought it did it
should be wiped from the statute
books.
Let no one think that our sole
purpose is one OF destruction" he
said Our aim must be not only
to defeat Hitler but to lay the
foundations for new world to re-
place the one which is now in the
agonies of a suicidal struggle"
Reviewing the advance of Nazi-
ism during the last few months,
Senator Hill, majority whip OF ,he
United States Senate, observed that
if this Nation is involved in wa
1T will be because of what We shall
fail TO do rather than what We sha Il
do, for Hitler will attempt to tx
us whenever he thinks he Is strcn:

He said there can be no more
compromise between the United

be between freedom and slavery.
