...Anyone who equates contraception with Hitler's precepts, as did Psychiatrist Frank Ayd in his commencement address to Xavier University [June 19], should examine his own mental health.

If Roosevelt was cautious in speaking out against Hitler for fear of antagonizing the isolationists, Hull was even more timid. He objected to Roosevelt's provocative speeches, argued down such formidable Cabinet colleagues as Henry Stimson and Frank Knox, who were urging direct action against Germany. In 1940 Canada was worried that Germany might invade Greenland and suggested sending some troops there. Hull vetoed the idea as too inflammatory. Soon after, Iceland...
