been mistaken for an allied ship.
The vessel would be especially

Fifty-five per cent of the people Ia larger percentage of the votes than President Roose. welt received in the last election) say that the time has come to use conveys They know that this means the use of our naval air force as we'll as naval ships-that it may mean shoot ing-and they are for it. To win the Battle of the Atlantic now may save many American lives later
 It goes against the American grain to be second-best in anything, and obviously we can't afford to be second-best in war.
 So let us, purely in our own interest, see England has better chance than we have given her to date of finishing the job we want one,-licking Hitler. In addition to convoy ing, let us send every army and navy plane the President can "comb out of our forces" and the maximum product of our airplane factories.
 Let us man these planes with American pilots, - Americans who have volunteered. Remove the obstacles to British recruiting here.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-07-08

But the Majority Of Us Have Mode
 Up Our Minds! People know that President Roosevelt's policy is to keep Hitler guessing. They feel he can beat Hitler at his own game and they are for it.
 But they are not guessing what they then1- selves are going to do.
 They have heard the Secretary of the Navy say, "Now is the time to strike" He should know
 They have heard the President say, "The goods we make must be delivered to England. This should be done; this will be done; this must be done"
 The American people say, "Okay MT. President, go ahead. Convoy, the goods" Americans have always thought that American ships, American goods, Amer ican lives should be protected wherever we send them. They still do

 Americas Grsotest Weapon The time has come for all the people to sup port the majority of the people in that which they are determined to do and in that which they have made up their minds must be done wipe out Hitler. Americas greatest weapon is united and determined America.
 Hitler makes up his mind and. then ACTS with SPEED. Once we are united on what should be done, no one can beat us at that game.
 Back up the Secretary of the Nayy's proposal to use the navy and air forces to clear the Atlantic of the German menace.
 Join us in urging the President to
 CLEAR THE ATlANTIcI
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-07-08

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE know we are lat war; with Hitler. They know the difference between an undeclared war and declared war. ...
 Hitler has made a fatal mistake.
 He has misjudged the American people and the American mind.
 We may seem to tumble and humble. We talk when we should be acting and argue when we should be agreeing. We appear hopelessly divided. So Hitler has assumed America is easy; America can be taken when the time comes, but -.
 YOU ARE WRONG, MIR. HITLER. You have been looking at the raiment of America, but you haven't seen the mind or the heart. The truth is ... the American people know they are "at war" with you Don't think the man in the street here doesn't understand what your propaganda experts think is so cever-the convenient subterfuge of an 'un- declared war;"
 Sure, there are quite few people right here repeating Hitlers words - playing his game consciously or unconsciously. We think it would be foolish, because undemocratic, to silence these people, but we know it would be doubly foolish, because fatal, to follow them.

 Two years later, at 13, he had learned to play the piano.
