The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible.

I do not regard the Communists as any present or future threat to our country. In fact, I look upon Russia as our strongest ally in the years to come.

You know, I am a juggler and I never let my right hand know what my left hand does. I may have one policy for Europe and one diametrically opposite for North and South America. I may be entirely inconsistent, and furthermore, I am perfectly willing to mislead and tell untruths if it will help win the war.

China, likewise, expresses the magnificent will of millions of plain people to resist the dismemberment of their historic nation. China, through the Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, asks our help. America has said that China shall have our help.

I don't mind telling you in confidence that I am keeping in fairly close touch with the admirable Italian gentleman. I am much interested and deeply impressed by what he has accomplished and by his evidenced honest purpose of restoring Italy.

Unless the Rt. Hon. Gentleman changes his policy and methods...he will be as great a curse to this country in time of peace, as he was a squalid nuisance in time of war.
