„ nie«^.—Acting nt the re-
qnwt of Preeldent Rooecrelt, Am-
: Mnndor Wlltlam C. Bullitt lajt
^night, r^renled n bit of hitherto
^unpubliahed corree pondence
which, he said, disproved the
‘•lie’* that the United States
promised to go to war In aid of
IPngland and Prance.
On April 4. 1940, he said, for
mer Premier Edouard Daladler of
France sent President Roosevelt
a letter wblch said In part: ,
“Also I feel I should tell you
that during the past two years,
when I was prime minister. Am
bassador Butlitt always said to
me that In case of a European
conflict, France should make her
decisions knowing that according
to the opinion of Ambassador
Bullitt the United State® of A-
merlca would not enter the war.”
Bullitt, in an address prepared
for delivery to the Chicago coun
cil on foreign relations and on
the radio, . discussed prewar
events and said that “again and
again” the United States’ “deter
mination to stay out of war” was
made clear.
“Nazi propagandists In Berlin,”
he said, “launched the lie that
we had promised France and
England to enter the war. In this
country Nazi agents and dupes
and a few political partisan® tried

'to auread It. They had no auecesa
beoauae the offielal record was

Turning te'more recent events,
Bullitt, envoy to J^nce, aaaerted
that the new triple alliance of
Germany, Italy and Japan was a
clear threat to the United States,
and that this country should arm
at "war speed” so' no nation
would dare to attack It.
. If ever a clear warn
ing was given to a nation that
three aggressors »ntemplated a
future assault upon it, that warn
ing was given to the American
people by the recently announced
agreement of Berlin,” he said.
“Faced by this threat . . he
continued, "our most urgent task
is the obvious one of Increasing
our own farmed forces, especially
our air force.
“We are building planes—we
are building them fast—'but we
should begin t o manufacture
planes at war speed. In every
other department of national de
fense as well we should prepare
with as much urgency as If we
were at war.”
The diplomat, who advocated
sale of destroyers to Great Brit
ain and adoption of conscription
in a speech at Philadelphia on
August 18 which aroused sharp
controversy, asked these ques
tions last night:
"Does anyone In this country
believe that In order to try to
curry the favor of the Nazis and
the fascists we should refrain
from giving and increasing the
help that we are giving Great
Britain?
"Does anyone suggest that we
should negotiate with Germany
and Italy for the destruction of
the British Empire?
“Does anyone believe that we
should discontinue extension of
credits and sale of goods to Chi
na and should negotiate with Ja
pan an agreement conceding to
her political and economic con
trol of ths Par East, including
the areas from which we draw
our vital supplies of rubber and
tin?”
“We know,” he continued,
"that If Germany and Italy
.should he released from the hold
of the British navy, they would
be free to attack this hemisphere.
We know that if Japan should
defeat or gain control of China,
she would be free to attack us
and might be pushed into joint
attack on us by her allies.”
