...Herr Hitler and Mr. Moscicki he suggested three ways of settling their difficulty: direct negotiation, arbitration by an impartial umpire, conciliation (compromise) through the good offices of a neutral in Europe or the Americas. He reminded Herr Hitler that his last message had gone unanswered, and warned: "The people of the United States are as one in their opposition to policies of military conquest and domination. They are as one in rejecting the thesis that any ruler, or any people, possess the right to achieve their ends . . . through . . . action which will plunge countless millions of people into war . . . bring distress...

Hitherto the emphasis was on opposition to Fascism; now it was on Peace (but not, in the Party organs, "at any price").

That Russia had replaced Japan in the Axis, the Communists perforce denied...
