| dc.description | Before leaving Washington talked with Joseph E. Davies, who said all possible facilities would be placed at Heineman's disposal for getting out of Belgium if it became necessary; glad to hear Heineman and family safely out; cannot explain what happened in Belgium; her quick surrender was catastrophic; if French cannot hold Germans, Italy will jump into war; must seriously consider a peace dictated by Germany to England and France; convinced however, Germany cannot in the end win; Americans awakened as to danger and their attitude encouraging; expects to see Communist Party in U.S. dissolved shortly; will take some time to get production machinery geared up; calamity U.S. did not start sooner; has tried to tell Americans since 1933 about German threat, but few understood the implications; was asked to go to Washington several weeks ago to help formulate measures for control of alien activities and prevention of espionage and sabotage; urging on Government farreaching steps; must see that navies and merchant fleets of Europe do not fall into German hands. | en_US |
