Unless & until they know that they can be depend upon ?? effectively in keeping Germany & Japan demilitarized they will continue to go their own way. The truth of the matter is it was the failure to keep Germany demilitarized after World War One which made possible WW2. It is in response to this irresistible logic of events that I propose America shall sign up now w/ all her major allies in a hard & fast treaty ratified by the Senate of the United States which pledges our constant armed cooperation, instantly available thru the President of the United States without further reference to the Congress to keep Germany & Japan out of piracy for keeps.” Applause. 21:18:57 “I propose action instead of words; I propose action now before it is too late; I propose it for the sake of a better world.
