Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt, President White House Washington, D. C. Dear President: A few years ago a distinguished American statesman cautioned his peo; 4 “that "the thing we have most to fear is fear itself". . . Now this s: distinguished statesman is swept off his feet by fear to the tune of nearly 2 billion dollars and he would like us to be fearful along wi : | Mr. President, nor Ketnavergh expressed a great truth when he recent. * ly said "We are in danger of war today not because European people ae have attempted to interfere with internal affairs of America, but be a cause American people have attempted to interfere with the internal a en of Europe", ” Mr President, we know where your sympathies lie and not all of us sh the same feeling for England and France that you do. We may not lik the Leadership of Germany but neither do we have a great love for th stuffed shirts, the Clivenden set of England and the similar group o France, those selfish groups of people interested only in their own game to control conditions in their favor. It is a well known fact that in no other civilized nation, except perhaps our own, will you find slums and poverty such as England has, The common people of En land and France,(and, yes too, America), have just been thought of a common people. While the few controlled and enjoyed the greatest lu uries of life, the rest were expected te be content with their lot, and many, in these Democracies, as in ours, were existings in condit that were and still are shameful. . 1° ee roy 4 bball hes . . ‘ 4 + Ny N Yo It is our hope should Hitler be successful and do unto the Chamberla and Churchills what they would have liked to do to him,--remove them from power, that he will deal kindly with them. Perhaps a just pun- ishment would be to have them live in the slums they feit was good e for their people, -- on the same starvation rations, (as many of our people have been forced, to exist on). 7 eee We do sincerely feed ‘sorry for the English and French people, but th are paying for their own :stupidity and their blind following of the high hatted " selgyrighteous™ gentlemen who lead them. = = 3 i 1 ! \ * OQ Ha In @ recent address,yau ‘Spoke of the danger to our "Christian Civil- ization", By what'streach of your imagination do you call ours 4 Ch ian Civilization?®™' Do you call a Christian civilization one where p have to live in uncertainty of economic security just because a-few trenched Barons want it so?
