| Description | Sending to Feis copy of Mar. 2 letter to Secretary; position may seem a negative one, but any negotiation with Germany now is as dangerous as it is futile; [Hamilton Fish] Armstrong posed basic question in his book "We or They" - whether democracies or totalitarian regimes will control; question may have to be fought out on battlefield and useless to think U.S., in spite of her distance, can be disinterested party; nothing could come of negotiating with Germany now unless U.S. prepared to make all concessions, and even then negotiations would lead to nothing of a permanent character, for Germany has no intention of taking our foodstuffs and raw materials any longer than necessary; American firms sending goods to Germany should realize that when difficulties arise they would have no recourse before German courts, as all private or public right has disappeared; looks forward to seeing Feis in April; P.S. If Feis thinks [Henry] Morganthau might be interested in letter to Secretary, would like Feis to show it to him. | en_US |
