wildered than ever about the United
States position. But we are not at
war, for we have faith that ours Is
q Government of laws, not Gov

The neutrality law. Mr. Cudahy
continued, is the result Of study
by the State Department of causes
which, step by step, had brought
us into that war of Europe "a years
ago and might lead us into another
war unless we were prepared to
stay out of it," He asked:
What has so changed the public
Judgment that even a voiceful mi
nority can think of war now?
rs it because we were wrong, or
is it because of fear? Fear that
this country may go down as I saw
neutral, peace loving Belgium go
down before the brutal Hitler war
machine. They say that if England
falls and the British Navy is cap
tured, it will only be question of
a short time until the Nazis invade
the Western Hemisphere"
He said the American people
wanted to know if the Western
Hemisphere is vulnerable to Hitler's
attack, but the men who know,
the military experts, are silent"
Mr.. Cudahy declared he was eager
to inform the State Department
of what he had learned in Germany,
including conversations with Hitler
but Sumner Welles, then Acting
Secretary of State, gave me to
understand that he thought it in
advisable to see me because of press
speculation
Military experts alone. he said,
could have challenged Hitler's
statement to him that the conquest
of the Western Hemisphere by Ger
man arms was as fantastic as an
invasion of the moon" He added:
why do not the military men
speak now when millions of patriotic
Americans are troubled and per-
picked and are willing to sacrifice
