aliianee with Soviet Russia. This is htitute an absolute prohibition, for

was forced into the war and her pres-1ioes not offer himself voluntarily,
ent friendly gestures to Great Britain
and America are dictated by despera
tion and hypocrisy. The Communists
are pretending to be the friends of
democracy because they need the help
of democratic nations. Basically,
however, Communism is a form of
totalitarianism which is inimical to
democracy.
"With this much understood, our
nafion can proceed to weigh the ques
tion of whether and to what extent
we should render aid to Soviet Rus
sia. Frankly, even though we may
regard the Communist regime in Rus
sia as the enemy of democracy, we
cannot escape the fact that Russia is
now also the enemy of Nazi Ger
many. Our whole defense program
is based upon the threat of aggres
sion from Nazi Germany. Therefore
if Russia can defeat Germany or even
deFay the Nazi program of world
domination, America would gain
thereby. Practical considerations
consequently make it expedient that
we extend such assistance as we can
to help Soviet Russia fight the Nazi
war machine.
"Our government should do thif
for practical reasons alone and with
out the slightest pretense that th(
United States and Soviet Russia arc
friends or can be friends. At the
same time our government should
fcuarel against the possibility that
closer ties with Soviet Russia may
give her agents and adherents in this
country wider opportunities to under
mine American democracy from with
in.
"The war is involving America in
increasingly complex situations and
unless we steer a straight course and
adhere closely to our principles and
proceed with our eyes open we may
find ourselves confronting danger
even greater than we have as yet
foreseen.
"American occupation of Iceland
came somewhat as a surprise but thf
necessity of taking this action tc
strengthen the defenses of the
United States and to protect the ship
ment of munitions to Great Britain
was clear to all. This defense move
cannot in any sense be considered
equivalent to the sending of an ex
peditionary force into the war zone
The Executive Council does not be
lieve that present conditions justify
or require the shipment of American
troops to the scene of battle in Eu
jjope nor does it believe that it is the
intention of the government to do so."

Nazi Leader Quoted
Evidence has been submitted by

ion of "forced" labor exists in Ger
nany.
William S. Bennet, president, in his
statement of the national committee's
ampaign "to combat the encroach
ment of slavery and forced labor be
ng forced upon the world by the Nazi
loctrines and Nazi arms" declares
,hat the "Nazis mean actual slav
y."
He quotes Walther Darre, the Ger
nan Minister of Agriculture, in
peech to Nazi party leaders in May,
1940, as saying that these slaves
insisting of "landless, non-Germar
lationals," will be assigned to an
'aristocracy of German masters."
Committee Long Active
Operating under the Tariff Act's
irohibition against forced labor, the
Jnited States becomes aggressively
