is a national crime. But, fear Of
war cannot be the sole basis Of ma
tional policy if we as people would
be free.
The free way of life was not
won on this continent by timidity
nor by defensive tactics. 1t was not
gained here, nor has it ever been
advanced elsewhere, by men who
qualing before an uncertain future
were hesitant and confused in ac-
ton. For the best interests of the
future of these free people, in my
opinion, the congress of the United
States should pass this bill"
Imperial Valley press., 1941-02-11

WASHINGTON. Feb. II. (UP)-
President James B. Conant OF Har-
ward university urged today that
the United states pledge itself to
an all-out effort TO insure defeat
of the Axis powers
The first of the rebuttal witness
es supporting the British-aid bill
before the senate foreign relations
committee, Conant said that if the
United States follows the advice OF
those who would limit British aid
or advocate a negotiated peace the
country viii be entering on a policy
fraught with the gravest risk
Conant told the committee that
if it limits British aid or throws
its weight behind a negotiated peace,
this country will run the risk OF
losing its national soul; the risk OF
succumbing to the totalltarlan rev.
olution, which. with planes and
bombs, with propaganda and the
use of the lie. with force from with
out and corruption from within
threatens to overwhelm the world.
1t has been argued that the pas
sage of this bill may lead to war,
Conant said. The bald fact is that
any step We take. or even failure
TO take any step at all, so long as
Hitler is in the ascendant, may
lead to war. To support line OF
action which might bring this ma
ton into armed conflict is a ter
rifle responsibility for any individ-
ual or group of individuals to bear
To my mind, however, there IS
one responsibility more terrible. II
is the responsibility OF acquiescing
in silence to policies which might
lead to the Wiping out on this con-
