...most tragic irony in the whole history of the Hitler era was that he boldly announced his plans of conquest, while the rest of the world stood by, either unbelieving or too morally bankrupt to act. It is incredible that only one year after the conclusion of the bloodiest war in history, the United States, through the Act of Chapultepee, stands in quasi-alliance with the potentially great Fascist power of the next generation, while at the same time the Soviet Union enters upon diplomatic relations with that power.
