I ΑΤΕ In the critical year of 1940, after the
j fall of France, Henry Morgenthau de
livered Jo \President Roosevelt an urgent
letter from Winston Churchill. It was this
letter that paved the way for the Lend
Lease program which was to save the Empire.
Today in Collier's, Mr. Morgenthau, for the
first time, divulges the contents of this dra
matic, top-secret letter.
Continuing the significant series of articles,
based on his own intimate chronicle, the
former Treasury head discloses President
Roosevelt's scorching opinion of the contro
versial American Ambassador to Great Britain,
Joeeph P. Kennedy:
"Who would have thought that the
English (the Cliveden set) could take
into camp a redheaded Irishman?"
And of the "slippery" British Prime Minister
^ ^ Neville Chamberlain:
interested m peace at any
price if he could get away
with it and slve his lace."
Mr. Morgenthau reveals that even General
"Hap" Arnold was opposed to selling Ameri
can planes to France before the war. He paints
an unforgettable picture of Harry Hopkins
clowning at a momentous Cabinet session.
And he offers his own candid appraisal of
Senators Taft and Vandenberg.
For a cabinet seat at one of the bitterest
internal struggles in all our history, read the
Morgenthau Diaries, in Collier's today.
