...difficult to fathom their mental processes. War, obviously, is a powerful stimulant to collective action under government leadership for a common purpose. The conquest of poverty requires similar action.

Hitler won't have to invade America until it is so torn be inner conflict that the German army could cross the ocean in canoes. It is time to end these theories of invasion, so easily refuted by calculations of gross tonnage. When Hitler gets ready to invade the United States will have a government unwilling and unable to resist...
