 The subject was first brought up by Dr. Blanton, who questioned the feasibility of emergency bomb pro- lection facilities being prepared now for school children. It was im- mediately endorsed by Keith Wildes and A. B. Phillips superintendent of schools.

for treaties or for interna tional
law, that it has no decent atti-
tude toward neutral nations or
human life-we Americans are
now face to face not with abstract
theories but with cruel, relentless
facts.
This attack on the Greer was
no localized military operation
in the North Atlantic. This was
no mere episode in struggle be-
tween two nations. This was one
determined step towards creating
a permanent world system based
on force, terror and murder.
And I am sure that even now
the Nazis are waiting TO see
whether the United States will by
silence give them the green light
to go ahead on this path of de-
Struction.
The Nazi danger to our western
world has long ceased TO be a
mere possibility. The danger is
here now-not only from mill
tary enemy but from an enemy
OF all law, all liberty, all moral
ity, all religion.
Nazis Are Told
"YOu Shall 90 no Further"
There has now come a time
when you and 1 must see the cold
inexorable necessity of saying to
these inhuman, unrestrained
seekers of world conquest and
permanent world domination by
the sword-"You seek to throw
our children and our children's
children into your form of ter
rorism and slavery. You have
now attacked our own safety.
You shall go no further" :.
Normal practices of diplomacy
note writing-are of no possible
use in dealing with international
outlaws who sink our ships and
kill our citizens.
One peaceful nation after an
other has met disaster because
each refused to look the Nazi
danger squarely in the eye until
it actually had them by The
throat.
The United States will not
make that fatal mistake.
No act of violence or intimida-
ton will keep us from maintain
ing intact two bulwarks of de-
fense: first. our line of supply
of material to the enemies of Hit
Ter, and second, the freedom OF
our shipping on the high seas.
No matter what it takes, no
matter what it costs, we will keep
open the line of legitimate COM
merce ih these defensive waters.
THE Time for Active
Defense Is Now"
We have sought no shooting
war with Hitler. We do not seek
it now. But neither do we want
peace so much, that we are will
ing to pay for it by permitting
him to attack our naval and mer-
chant ships while they are on
legitimate business.
I assume that the German
leaders are not deeply concerned
by what we Americans say or
publish about them. We cannot
bring about the downfall of
NaziSm by the use of long range
invective.

For If the world outside the
Americas falls under Axis domi-
nation, the shipbuilding facilities
which the Axis powers would
then possess in all of Europe. in
the British Isles, and in the Far
East would be much greater than
all the shipbuilding facilities and
potentialitieS of all the Americas
not only greater, but two or
three times greater. Even if the
United States threw all its re-
sources into such a situation,
seeking to double and even re-
double the size of our Navy, the
Axis powers, in control of the
rest of the world. would have the
manpower and the physical re-
sources to outbuild us several
times over.
Act of Aggression
Against American Policy.
1t is time for all Americans of
all the Americas to stop being de-
luded by the romantic notion
that the Americas can go on liv-
ing happily and peacefully in a
Nazi dominated world.
Generation after generation.
America has battled for the gen.
eral policy of the freedom of the
seas. That policy is very simple
one-but a basic, fundamental
one. 1t means that no nation
has the right to make the broad
oceans of the world at great dis
tances from the actual theater of
land war, unsafe for the COM
merce of others.
That has been our policy,
proved time and time again, in
all our history.
Our policy has applied from time
immemorial-and still applies

wiping out every vestige of inter-

His intention has been made
clear. The American people can
have no further illusions about 1t.
''The Nazi Danger
Is Here Now"
No tender whiSperings OF ap-

might discover whether her failure to adapt
herself to John was caused by Norman. For
she had made discovery: she had married
John out of spite. Norman had been in one
of his frosty moods the night he introduced
them. 1t had been small party; certainly
everyone in the room heard Norman say:
Come on. Forrest, can't you take her off

laughed; Norman enjoyed himself so much
