be in a position to make the attack on South America which he announced
 to the leaders that he convoked on the eighth of March last.
 I now have in written fcrm the statement which I telegraphed to you on that sub-
ject some months ago. The report was handed me by Ottoof Hapsburg. 
It comes from one of his most trusted agents in Vienna who is in the center
of the Nazi movement, and I consider it absolutely authentic .
           I realize that it will probably be impossible for you to convince
 the people of the United States that they are menaced by Hitler.
 I can not express to you too strongly my conviction that we are   
 menaced in the most terrible manner by Hitler. If we do not change
at once the Neutrality Act and supply France and Engiand
immediately with all the weapons of war that we can
produce, we shall be insane. It is the considered opinion not only of our
 owm Military and Naval Attaches in Paris, but also of the French General
 Staff that if the United States should continue to refuse to supply
airplanes, arms, and ammunition to France and England,
France and England unquestionably would be defeated.
It would be our turn next.
