STATEMENT BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE
[Released to the press January 2)
The Declaration by the United Nations joins together, in the greatest common war effort in history, the purpose and will of 26 free na- tions, representing the overwhelming majority of the inhabitants of all 6 continents. This is a living proof that law-abiding and peace-
loving nations can unite in using the sword when necessary to preserve liberty and justice and the fundamental values of mankind. Against this host we can be sure that the forces of barbaric savagery and organized wicked- ness cannot and will not prevail.
SUPREME COMMANDS IN THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC AREA

United States and British representatives will serve on his joint headquarters planning staflp.
RADIO MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT TO THE PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES
[Released to the press by the White House December 28]
On December 28 the President sent a message to the people of the Philippine Islands. It was broadcast by short-wave radio direct to Manila where it was re-broadcast and given to the press. The text of the message follows :
"The People of the Philippines :
"News of your gallant struggle against the Japanese aggressor has elicited the profound admiration of every American. As President of the United States, I know that I speak for all our people on this solemn occasion.
''The resources of the United States, of the British Empire, of the Netherlands East Indies, and of the Chinese Republic have been dedicated by their people to the utter and complete defeat of the Japanese war-lords. In this great strug- gle of the Pacific the loyal Americans of the Philippine Islands are called upon to play a crucial role.
''They have played, and they are playing to- night, their part with the greatest gallantry.
"As President I wish to express to them my feeling of sincere admiration for the fight they are now making.
"The people of the United States will never forget what the people of the Philippine Islands are doing this day and will do in the days to come. I give to the peojale of the Philippines my solemn pledge that their freedom will be redeemed and their independence established and protected. The entire resources, in men and in material, of the United States stand behind that pledge.
"It is not for me or for the people of this country to tell you where your duty lies. We are engaged in a great and common cause. I count on every Pliilii^pine man, woman, and child to do his duty. We will do ours."
JAPANESE ALLEGATIONS REGARDING KILLING OF NATIONALS
[Released to the press December 29]
The Department of State has received through the Swiss Legation, representing Jap- anese interests in the Philippines, a communi- cation from the Japanese Government in which it protests the alleged killing of 10 Japanese nationals at the time of the assault by the Jap- anese forces against the city of Davao on the Island of Mindanao.
This Government had not previously heard of the alleged incident and has no reports what- soever which would substantiate in the slight- est degree the incident complained of by the Japanese Government.
For days previous to the delivery of this note, the Japanese not only had been continuing their unprovoked aggression against the Phil- ippine Islands but they had also ruthlessly, wantonly, and with a complete lack of humanity bombed the defenseless civilian population of a declared open city, killed scores of civilians, and wounded hundreds more.
While the United States would not condone

the acts of any of its officials or of any persons under its authority which contravene accei:)tecl rules of international law, and will always in- vestigate complaints and take such proper stejjs as may be warranted under the facts, the rec- ord established by Japan over a number of years and in her recent activities in the Phil- ippines clearly shows a wholly wanton disre- gard by Japan of international law and of prin- ciples of humanity and even of the elemental rules of decency designed to avoid needless in- jury to defenseless civilian populations. The objective of the Japanese in making this pro- test is clear, that is, to attempt to divert atten- tion from their iniquities by making accusations against others.
SEVERANCE OF RELATIONS BY VENE- ZUELA WITH GERMANY, ITALY, AND JAPAN
[Released to the press December 31]
The Venezuelan Ambassador called to see the Under Secretary of State, the Honorable Sum- ner Welles, on the morning of December 31 and by instruction of his Government delivered a note in which the Government of Venezuela stated that it had that day broken off diplo- matic relations with Germany, Italy and Japan.
Mr. AVelles replied that this action taken by the Government of Venezuela was profoundly appreciated by the United States and was one more outstanding demonstration of the unfail- ing solidarity of Venezuela with all of the other American republics in the taking of all meas- ures necessary for the defense and security of this hemisphere.
December 8, 1941 is the correct date for the declaration of war by Costa Rica against Japan, and page 599 of the Bulletin of December 27, 1941 should be corrected accordingly.
PROTECTION OF OFFICIALS AND NA- TIONALS OF COUNTRIES AT WAR
EXCHANGE OF DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR PERSONNEL WITH HUNGARY AND RUMANIA
[Released to the press January 1]
The Department of State has been informed through the Swiss Government that the Hun- garian Government accepts proposals of the American Government concerning exchange of diplomatic personnel. The Hungarian Govern- ment proposes to place as soon as possible a spe- cial train at the disposal of the members of the American Legation leaving Hungary which will take them to the Spanish border, the train not being able to proceed past that point because of different railway track gauge. In this train there will be the members of the American Legation and Consulate in Budapest, their per- sonnel, and a certain number of persons in- dicated by the Legation.
The train will also carry effects of official per- sonnel. The transportation fares of the official personnel to the Portuguese frontier will be paid by the Hungarian Government. Persons who are not officials will be required to pay for their sleeping accommodations aboard the train and may carry only hand baggage with them. A dining-car will be placed at the disposal of the travelers. The Hungarian Government will ac- cept the promise of the American Minister to Hungary, Mr. Herbert C. Pell, that neither he nor the official personnel coming out of Hun- gary will leave the European Continent before the members of the Hungarian diplomatic and consular missions coming from the United States shall have arrived in Lisbon.
Regarding this latter fact the American Min- ister will be informed through the Hungarian Minister at Lisbon.
The Hungarian Government hopes by the ar- rangements set forth above to avoid any useless delay at the Portuguese frontier, in view of the fact that the exchange of the missions con- cei-ned will be effected at Lisbon.
JANUARY 3, 1942
Two officials of the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs will nccrjnipany this party to Lishon.
The State Department has also learned through Swiss official sources that the Ruma- nian Government accepts in principle the American Government's proposition relating to the exchange of diplomats, consuls, and other official persons and supposes that the American Government will take care of the necessary details of arrangement.
AMERICANS IN THE FAR EAST

dents of Medan were all safe. (Medan was re- ported by the press to have been bombed on December 28.)
[Released to the press December 31]
In a telegram dated December 27, 1941 from Mr. C. E. Gauss, the American Ambassador at Chungking, it was stated that it had been re- ported indirectly that Americans remaining in Hong Kong were unharmed and that they were being housed in the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank Building. The offices of the American Consulate General at Hong Kong are located in this building.
Mr. Kenneth S. Patton, the American Consul General at Singapore, telegraphed on Decem- ber 30, 1941 that up to that time no American residents of Malaya had been injured.
[Released to the press December 30]
According to information received in the Department through the courtesy of the Swiss authorities, American officials in Shanghai, Canton, Hankow, Tientsin, and Peiping are confined to their hotels or to their embassy or consular compounds and are well treated. It was indicated that private American nationals were not being interned and that the general situation was satisfactory although public utili- ties were functioning on a restricted basis. Foreign banks were said to remain open but withdrawals of American depositors were re- stricted to 2,000 Chinese dollars (approximately U.S. $80) per month.
It was reported that the authorities of the French Concession and the International Settle- ment at Shanghai were cooperating witli the Japanese to maintain order and to insure food supplies and other essentials.
In a telegram dated December 29, 1941 from Mr. Walter A. Foote, American Consul General at Batavia, it was stated that American resi-

FOUNDATIONS OF mXER-AMERICAN SOLIDARITY ADDRESS BY LAURENCE DUGGAN '
[Released to the press December 29]
There has been a drastic change in the inter- national situation since I was requested last June to address the American Political Science Association. At that time the American re- publics were at peace with the i-est of the world. Today, some are in war, others have broken off diplomatic relations, and the remaining have declared their continental solidarity with those republics now actively combating Axis aggression.
Even from the point of view of the probable course of future inter-American relationships, the original title of my remarks, "Political and Economic Developments in Inter-American Relations", is not so far-fetched as might first appear to be the case. The nature of inter- American developments during the past eight years can be considered a gauge of the scope and content of what may well take place in the coming years. I say this for the reason that inter- American relations have been built on firm bedrock during the last few years. No matter what wind may blow, no matter what storm may dash against the shores of the New World, a foundation of inter-American soli- darity has been laid so strong that overseas tem- pests will only lose their force against it. How fortunate, indeed, for the nations of the New World that these foundations were laid years ago on the bedrock of respect for sovereignty and cooperation for common benefit rather than on a shifting sand of momentary expediency.
I believe it desirable to underline, at this juncture when short cuts and quick action are bywords, that the strength of the inter-Ameri-
' Delivered before the American Political Science Association, New York. N. Y., December 29, 1941. Mr. Duggan is Adviser i^n Political Relations, Depai'tment of State.
can structure results from strict abstinence from intermeddling or interference in the internal or external concerns of the other countries. The adoption and application of this policy by the United States in 1933 necessitated the relin- quishment of many "rights" of an intervention- ist character. The right to intervene in Cuba, under the Piatt Amendment, and in Panama, under the Treaty of 1903, were among the rights given up, to say nothing of the withdrawal of our Marines from countries to which they had been sent during the last war. The most pre- cious asset that the United States now has in the Western Hemisphere is the confidence and respect that one man of good-will has in an- other. This could be lost overnight by a hasty, ill-considered step of apparent urgent necessity. The value of this new confidence in the mo- tives of this country was demonstrated by the immediate and enthusiastic response to the call of the President of the United States in 1936 for a special conference for the maintenance of peace in Buenos Aires. This conference marked a turning point in inter- American re- lations. Heretofore, the American republics had been concerned almost exclusively in ques- tions concerning relations among themselve,s. In Buenos Aires, they gave important consid- eration for the first time to the relations between the Western Hemisphere and the rest of the world. It was already evident then that certam countries, employing specious theories of race, of culture, of political economy, and of religion, were becoming a threat to the independence and security of peace-loving nations every- where. The American republics at this meeting proclaimed certain principles for the orderly and peaceful conduct of nations. They like- wise agreed to consult together in the face of a positive menace to the peace of the hemisphere.
JANUARY 3, 1942
9
As mutual confidence gi'ew, as it became more and more apparent that the destiny of the hemisphere depended upon a solidary atti- tude, the American republics perfected inter- governmental measures for collaboration. At Lima in 1938, after the debacle of the Euro- pean democracies at Munich, the American re- publics proclaimed their conmion concern and their determination to make effective their soli- darity in case the peace, security, or territorial integrity of any American repiiblic was threatened.
The considtative procedure was immediately invoked at the outbreak of war in 1939. An- other meeting of Foreign Ministers was held in midsummer of 1940, a few weeks after the collapse of France had magnified the Nazi menace to the AVestern Hemispliere. Both meetings, in record time for international de- liberations of this character, adopted measures of the highest importance, utility, and effectiveness.
Tliose meetings were held during times of peace between the independent nations of the New World and those of the Old. Now, an- other meeting is to be held in Rio de Janeiro, capital of Brazil, at a time of war — the first meeting of representatives of all the Ameri- can republics ever to convene during a period of inter-continental war in which nations of the Western Hemisphere were joined.
This meeting, of profound significance for the future welfare and well-being of every human being in the New World, will find the Ajnerican republics united in their continental solidarity. Wliether they have declared war on the members of the Tripartite Pact, whether they have broken off diplomatic relations, or whether they have extended the rights of a non-belligerent to the American countries at war, they have all reaffirmed their solidarity in accordance with inter- American agreements. In this connection it is pertinent to recall that resolution XV adopted at the meeting in Habana declares tliat any attempt on the part of a non-American state against the integrity or inviolability of the territory, the sover- eignty, or the political independence of an
American state shall be considered as an act of aggression against all the others. Thus, the treacherous and unprovoked attack com- mitted by Japan against the United States, and the subsequent declarations of war by Ger- many and Italy, have been recognized by the American republics as attacks as well against them. In other words, the members of the Tripartite Pact have attacked not only the United States but are regarded by the other American republics as luiving attacked them also.
In this situation, the Foreign Ministers of the American republics are meeting to consider and determine the measures to be taken with a view to the preservation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Ameincan re- publics as well as to fortifying their economic solidarity.
It would be inappropriate for me to at- tempt to speculate upon the measures that may be adopted. A brief review may be use- ful, however, of the various kinds of steps that have been taken by the American repub- lics since the last meeting of Foreign Minis- ters in July 1940 in order to cope with the new problems that have confronted them.
First: Througliout the Americas there has been a progressively greater public and gov- ernmental inquirj^ into the extent and scope of alien activities that endanger the peace and security of any American republic. As a result of the knowledge gained by these in- vestigations, controls of various types have been adopted. It is fair to assume that the meeting in Rio will discuss the strengthening and extension of these controls, particularly since Axis alien activities today are really nothing but a part of a vast military opera- tion.
Second: In the late summer of 1941 the Gov- ernment of Uruguay approached all the Amer- ican nations with respect to a proposal to accord non-belligerent rights to any American nation resisting overseas aggression. Uru- guay recalled that it had in fact done this during World War I when it offered to put its naval facilities at the disposal of the
10
DEPARTMENT OF STATE BULLETIN
United States. The reply to the inquiry last summer was in the overwhelming affirmative, and it is interesting to obsei've that some of the countries that questioned the desirability of raising the issue have now accorded non- belligerent status to their sister republics at war with the members of the Tripartite Pact.
Third: The maintenance of adequate ship- ping has been a principal preoccupation of the American republics during the last year. The withdrawal first of many foreign-flag vessels and later of many ships of United States reg- istry accentuated the importance of putting into service in inter-American trade foreign- registry ships that had taken refuge in the harbors of the American republics. During the last year, the Inter-American Financial and Economic Advisory Committee adopted a plan that has been accepted by the British Government for the taking over and opera- tion of the immobilized ships in this hemi- sphere. Many of these ships are already in service. Negotiations with respect to the others are, in general, well advanced. When all of these vessels are in operation, a total of approximately 546 thousand gross tons of shipping will have been added to the inter- American carrying trade.
Fourth: The progressive curtailment of European markets has caused the piling up of surpluses of some raw materials in the other American republics. The Inter-American Committee in Washington gave preferential consideration to coffee. In more than a dozen of the other American republics, coffee is either the principal crop or the second in im- portance. As the war extended in Europe, coffee markets became restricted. Stocks piled up in the coffee-producing countries, prices sank to new lows, coffee producers were obliged to cut wages and discharge workers. The economies of several countries were stagnating.
In this situation, the Inter-American Com- mittee formulated a plan that was adopted by the coffee-producing countries for putting cof- fee imports into the United States on a quota
basis. The operation of this plan has proved highly advantageous. An adequate and con- tinuous supply of coffee has been assured the consumer in this country at a fair and reason- able price. Producers are now receiving a return that enables them to continue produc- tion. The inter-American coffee arrangement is one of the most constructive applications of the good-neighbor policy in the field of trade and economics, and its importance in salvag- ing the languishing economies of many coun- tries will not soon be forgotten in those countries.
Fifth : The development of the defense pro- gram of the United States created a heavy demand for the basic and strategic materials necessary for the production of implements of war. This demand has been accentuated by the outbreak of war in the Pacific. Communi- cations with some of the most important sources of supply have been interrupted. The other American republics are already supplying an important share of our requirements of these critical materials. For instance, from our southern neighbors we have been obtaining a minimum of 35 percent of our copper require- ments ; 20 percent of our tungsten requirements ; 25 pei'cent of our zinc requirements; 20 percent of our lead requirements; and 33 percent of our antimony requirements. Much of this has been purchased directly by our Government. There are, however, many untapped sources of supply in the other American republics. In order to furnish the sinews for the defense of the Western Hemisphere these undeveloped mining and agricultural possibilities should be de- veloped cooperatively.
Sixth : Just as the other American republics are generously making available strategic raw materials to the United States for fabrication into the weapons of war, so, in the same meas- ure, it is incumbent upon us to provide them with the materials that they need to maintain their economies in a healthy condition. The gradual curtailment and now almost complete elimination of Europe and the Far East as suppliers of manufactured articles and certain
JANUARY 3, 1942
11
basic raw matei'ials has left the United States as practically the only source of supply. Every effort, consistent with our defense effort, has been made to furnish the essential import re- quirements of the American republics. Our 1940 exports to the other American republics reached an all-time high of $720,776,000. Nevertheless, there are civilian needs in these countries that it has been impossible to fill, just as it has not been jiossible to meet all the civilian needs of this country. It is the policy of the Government to treat these civilian needs on an equal and proportional basis to that accorded to our own civilian needs.
There have been some voices heard since December 7 recommending that all our re- sources be conserved for our own use. These are the same voices that urge greater production of raw materials by our neighbors and who re- quest cooperation from them of many sorts. The incongruity of asking all and giving nothing is so apparent to all that scant attention has been paid to this narrow talk. I mention it, however, because it serves to bring out that the defense of the Western Hemisphere is a cooperative job in which each country must give as well as receive.
These, then, are some of the questions that have had the attention of the American repub- lics during the last year. Since they are all of equal if not greater importance today, it is a fair guess that the American republics will be concerned with them at the forthcoming meet- ing in Rio and throughout the coming year.
This brief canvass may also have served to bring out that today the problems of the Amer- ican Republics are tackled jointly in order to seek solutions in procedures of a cooperative character. There is no parallel in history of a group of nations collaborating together so com- pletely for the attainment of their principal national problems. There must be and, of course, there is a reason for this since similar efforts have been made elsewhere and failed. The reason is simply that underneath differences of language and race, of tradition and political and economic development, there exists the
same desire for a society in which free men at peace with one another can live and work and develop their individual talents in the way they see fit. This ideal is real and vital and living in the New World. It is not a new ideal since the origin is in the civilization of Western Europe that emerged from the Renaissance. Large parts of Europe, however, tired from the struggle for an ideal that requires sacrifice and mutual accommodation, have slipped back into forms of society that aim utterly to crush the freedom of the human spirit. It is because to- day in the Americas this democratic ideal is burning brighter than ever that the 21 Ameri- can republics, with all of their distinctiveness and difference, are pledged to help one another in case of aggression from without this hemi- sphere.
The New World can learn a lesson from the dark pages of contemporary European history. Democracy was tossed overboard in many European countries because it failed to solve urgent domestic and international questions. The 20 years after World War I, despite what appeared on the surface to be recovery, were years of retrogression. The standard of living fell, opportunities for the individual became less and less, and international tension and dif- ficulties mounted. It was for these reasons that people began to listen to the will-o'-the-wisp promises of Fascist dictatorships.
The New World also has problems that go to the vei'y roots of the social structure. There are problems of race, of the exploitation of one man by another, of land and industrial monop- oly, of disease and malnutrition and intoler- ance. Until these problems at least are tackled and solved, democracy will still be to many millions devoid of content and substance.
Our first duty is to render the hemisphere impregnable from attack from without. Our next duty is to render it impregnable to attack from within by exploitation of social malad- justments. Only when both duties have been performed will the destiny of the New World have been realized.

THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC CONFLICT ADDRESS BY RAYMOND H. GEIST '
[Released to the press December 30]
Mr. President and Members of the Nebraska State Bar Association: Wlren I accepted your invitation to address this gathering the horrors of war, which had been steadily spreading throughout the world, had not yet engulfed our own country. The convulsions which now threaten the whole of mankind had their origins in causes which ex- isted years ago, of which those of an economic nature were not the least in importance. Wlien
the totalitarian leaders, with their vast program of aggression and depredation, made their ap- pearance, they succeeded in accomplishing the first steps of their rise to power under the guise of legal forms and processes, which at once deceived millions of those destined to be their victims. Chief among these victims were the fellow citizens who allowed their unscrupulous leaders to gain the mastery of the state; and

now the rest of the world is engaged in a gigan- tic struggle to overcome the destructive forces which have become the common enemy of mankind.
It will remain for the historians and the psy- chologists of the future to penetrate the cryptic insidiousness which motivated a small group of political instigators to impel nations and vast armaments of men to hurl themselves against the peace and freedom of their neighbors. We Americans also witnessed those first tiltings in the arenas nearly 20 years ago, when liberty, in the very cradle of western civilization, was over- thrown in the first Fascist state. Likewise we were present when the bloody and devouring specter of war first appeared above the horizons of Europe and Asia. We have heard the rum- blings and have seen the destruction of war slowly approaching our own shores. For a whole decade the security and well-being of mankind has been increasingly threatened, and during the last three years, blow after blow has been struck, destroying one nation after another. At last with a tremendously powerful dagger-thrust in the back, an unsuccessful at- tempt was made to lay us low. We were not confronted by an adversary who challenged us openly to battle but waylaid by a cowardly as- sassin who struck in the dark. In this the role of the assailant was true to form; for the as- sassin is always hired to level the blow which the instigators are too fearful to attempt them- selves. It is now our task to punish the assassin and bring the instigators to their certain end.
It is not my purpose to go into the political phases of the present conflict, which assuredly present aspects which transcend all others, but to stress rather the economic measures which have been invoked in the totalitarian cause, and over against these to emphasize those concep- tions of economic justice to which we are com- mitted, and for the ultimate triumph of which we have been forced to take up arms.
No economic justice can prevail in a world in which the enlightened principles, which gov- ern the conduct of nations, are overthrown and obliterated from the face of the earth. Men must be free to be just ! If the great mass of
human beings, which compose the various na- tions, are enthralled under arbitrary authority, only injustice and exploitation can be the fate of the victims, while the masters sink deeper in cruelty and crime. Above all, the freedom of the individual must be preserved if the body politic of any nation is to be healthy and if that nation is to be a cooperative member of the family of nations. Only such a nation will uphold the principle of the inviolability of ter- ritorial integrity and respect the sovei'eignty of other states. Only such a nation will be gov- erned by the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. Only a nation of free men will voluntarily respect the principle of equality among states, including equality of commercial opportunity and treat- ment. Such men will rely upon international cooperation and subscribe to methods of con- ciliation in adjusting international disputes. They will desire pacific settlements of contro- versies and strive for the improvement of in- ternational conditions by peaceful methods and processes.
The political status of freedom which men and states enjoy is the primary safeguard of their material as well as their spiritual well- being.
The struggle which the despot waged to en- thrall, first of all his own fellow citizens, and then the men and women of other countries had the direct object of seizing their material wealth, the fruits of their toil, and the inherit- ances they created for their children. The record of this systematic plundering on the part of the totalitarian rulers is one of the most gloomy and sinister chapters in modern history. An examination of this process is important, for its authors and adherents do not acknowledge their acts to be plundering and robbery but claim that it is a new order of economy upon which general contentment and world peace will be based.
The authors of this new economy with their lust for confiscation and repression seized at once the productive capacity of the nation. In those European states where the totalitarian masters got control, the great mass of artisans
16
DEPARTMENT OF STATE BULLETIN
and workers of all trades and skill were placed under the most severe yoke of bondage. The leaders of the trade unions were arrested, and their organizations were dissolved and forbid- den. Their property was confiscated. Their funds were seized. They were forbidden to think any longer as free men who had a right to raise their voices in defense of their own in- terests. It was their allotted task to obey the commands which those placed over them saw fit to enforce. It was, however, not enough to rob men of their freedom and to reduce them to the status of robots. They were paraded in the marketplaces under slogans and banners, which they had learned to abhor, and forced to cheer lustily the very authors of their slavery. The millions of workers were or- ganized in one great body controlled by the state. Their hours of labor wei-e fixed at a higher level; but their wages remained the same.
These workers had no right to dispose of their labor to the highest bidder or to seek amelioration of their economic status by en- gaging in more gainful pursuits. All doors were closed to advancement, while the stand- ard of living was fixed at a meager level. Millions of workers thus became the living property of the state. They were regimented in producing vast quantities of goods and ma- terials, over the disposition of which they had no control. In order to prevent the cost of living soaring so high that under the existing wage scales the mass of workers could not even eke out a bare existence, prices were fixed for all the necessities of life, except for those lux- uries which the leaders themselves and the pre- ferred few of the chosen hierarchy alone could obtain.
In order to accomplish this program the greatest hoax of modern times was devised. The mass of farmers and landowners were brought under the yoke. A fiction was in- vented that proclaimed that the soil of the country was sacred and related to the blood of those who tilled it. It was claimed on the false theory of race that blood and soil were inseparable and could not be considered apart.
By law every farmer was chained to his land. Under no circumstances could he dispose of his property, which passed at his death to his eldest male heir. This is the old feudal law of primogeniture, which, with the rest of the serfdom of the Middle Ages, was slowly abol- ished in Western Europe or greatly modified with the advent of modern times. Thus the conditions of agricultural life were fixed once and for all by the statutes and decrees of the state. There was no longer any freedom of choice for the first-born male in any rural family which possessed an estate. No matter what his predilections or capacities for other work might be, his destiny and that of his son and his grandson and his great-grandson had been predetermined. The fruits of a lifetime of work were already bequeathed at birth. The disinherited status of the rest of the chil- dren was established before they were born. The family life from the cradle to the grave revolved around these realities. This was the second great step in establishing economic thralldom in the totalitarian state. Not only were the farmers bound to the land, but their agricultural operations were controlled and prices wei'e fixed. For a time they were fa- vored at the expense of the workers in the cities, who were more easily bludgeoned into submission on account of their being accessible and grouped in larger numbers. Besides, the farmer, accustomed by the nature of his en- vironment to a larger measure of freedom, bent his neck more slowly under the totalitarian yoke. But in the course of time controls be- came more rigid in the agricultural connnuni- ties and prices of farm commodities were screwed down to suit the generally lower standard of living in the industrial centers.
It was in the agricultural life of the totali- tarian states where the gi-eatest effects of the drive for self-sufficiency were felt. The whole farming industry was incorporated into an autonomous public body managed by the state, with absolute power over all the persons and property involved. Everything to do with agriculture came under the control of this organization. It could fix prices at
JANTJART 3, 1942
17
will and determine what crops could be planted. Questions of distribution were oflS- cially regulated. Kates of interest on mort- gages and all other questions pertaining to the financial status of the farm were determined by the public authorities. Agriculture: was bodily lifted out of the realm of free compe- tition. The process of price adjustment placed the industry entirely out of line with prices prevailing for agricultural products in the world market. At first, prices were fixed on a remunerative basis; but this was slowly modified while the state was extending control over every individual farm. Those who pro- duced more grain than was required for their own needs were compelled to deliver the bal- ance to the official organizations at a fixed price. In the end every farmer received his orders as though he were a private in the army. Likewise the foundations for an even- tual economic conflict with the rest of the world were laid further in establishing author- itative control over industrial private enter- prises. The most far-reaching devices were set up by the totalitarian state with the aim of incorporating every business organization from the greatest industrial establishments to the smallest retail shops in the official organi- zation. On this one writer commented: "In the last analysis it can be stated that every en- trepreneur could consider himself a govern- mental employee executing the commands he receives".
Setting up of controls governing the alloca- tion of raw materials, even the fixing of prices, hours of labor, production of finished products, and other measures are necessary in times of gi'eat emergency, such as that in which we find ourselves today. But the powers under which our Government acts have been authorized by the people's representatives in Congress. These, therefore, are controls which the Nation has de- cided to impose upon itself during a time of great national stress.
In the totalitarian states these systems were built up ostensibly with the direct object of cre- ating a great war machine ; but the changes that were made with respect to labor, agriculture,
436362 — 42 3
and private enterprise were permanent in character, being the direct result of revolution- ary changes according to which the reorganiza- tion of society on the authoritarian principle was effected.
It is important to remember that the au- thoritarian system demands not only unqualified obedience to the established authority but a rigorous discipline in carrying out the com- mands of the state. These are totally applied, and the enforcement afPects every phase of human activity.
Even those administering justice, hearing and pleading causes, may only do so by virtue of their obligatory membership in an organiza- tion controlled by the totalitarian masters and which organization accepts and endorses the whole doctrine of oppression and force. Here has arisen an established system by which the scales of justice have been deliberately unbal- anced, where political prejudice and blind bigotry are substituted for reason and conclu- sions based on facts. Here cases are lost before they are heard ; and the innocent are convicted before they face their accusers.
So in the midst of a universal inquisition, of which the agents are a ubiquitous police, the economic life of the nation is regimented and controlled for the supreme purpose of achieving world conquest and trade monopoly as far as the totalitarian arm of aggression can reach.
As in military science, operations can only be extended from strategic bases, so in the interna- tional field, economic warfare against other na- tions can only be successfully waged if the strategy of position and movement is firmly in hand. In the totalitarian state all the economic agencies, particularly capital and industrial and agricultural labor and the production of ma- terials, commodities, and foods are totally with- in the control of the supreme authority. Thus a potential of vast proportions and influence is created, capable of entering and maintaining itself in the international fleld to the disadvan- tage, if not the destruction, of the economic stability of other countries.
The steady effort toward total conquest and the investment of every national resource in the
18
DEPARTMENT OF STATE BULLETIN
grim relentless game of war is calculated to fasten upon other countries the same system of exjjloitation and repression which has been built up at home. The prize is enormous and worth the pains. At Armageddon the ruthless conquerors aim to sweep into their maws the far-flung wealth of the earth. A true perspec- tive of the economic purposes back of the aggressive moves which the totalitarian states have been carrying out during the last decade, reveals that the objectives are not the same as those which impelled the Central Powers in Europe to attack their neighbors in 1914. The Central Powers entered the Great War pri- marily to increase and fortify their hold upon world markets and to establish and maintain political and economic prestige both on sea and land. There was not the complete divergence in general outlook upon all phases of life ; nor had our former enemies turned their backs upon civilization. Freedom of the individual had not been turned into slavery ; nor had the state overthrown religion to make way for paganism. The courts and halls of justice were still gov- erned by legal codes and processes of law equal to those existing in enRghtened countries. The arts and sciences and above all education had not been debased and made to serve violent political ends. Nor had the youth of the nation been turned into rabid zealots. These violent changes subjugated the souls of men from the highest to the lowest and prepared them to en- list themselves blindly in an unholy cause of ruthless aggression against their innocent neighbors.
The struggle of 1914 was destined, no matter ■what might have been its outcome, to change the balance of power in Europe. The totali- tarian object in the present struggle is to anni- hilate civilization. These states are now waging war for the acquisition and control of the world's material wealth. Their aims in the raging conflict are to perpetuate their military power. They are endeavoring to seize the raw materials of the world, not to make an adjust- ment in the distribution of wealth among na- tions but to strengthen and fortify their aggressive striking-power, that they may be able to deliver the final blow.
The economic system which has been imposed in the totalitarian states through the enslave- ment of the workers, farmers, and industrial producers, has laid the pattern for its extension in all countries whose independence has been destroyed. Wherever this juggernaut of power has established his rule the same economic sys- tem is introduced. The workers are robbed of their rights and compelled under pain of tor- ture and even death to produce as they are directed and for wages which are fixed by the conquerors. They are moved from one country to another and assigned to any task under con- ditions which the occupying authorities con- sider expedient. Industrial enterprises are co- ordinated in the general scheme of totalitarian production for whatever purpose may be essen- tial in maintaining and extending the potential of the military machine. The farms are plun- dered. The warehouses are emptied. Endless caravans loaded with booty move along with the marching hosts toward military objectives. Plants and factories are seized by agents of the occupying forces. Administration of the economic and financial apparatus in the con- quered countries is geared to the totalitarian system. In this process of despoliation the same arbitrary authority is exercised. The details of the plans are a minor part of the vast scheme of world political, economic, and military domi- nation. The reorganization along totalitarian lines in every occupied country is carried out with the utmost despatch and efficiency. The schemes of coordinating industrial production in such countries have been carefully worked out, not with the object of establishing an eco- nomic system which would preserve the inter- ests of the human beings, whose lives and prop- erty are at stake, but with the sole aim of increasing the total potential of the war ma- chine through which the conquest has been made.
With the advent of the totalitarian agents the industrial and agricultural productive capacity of the subjected country is severely curtailed by the general distress of the inhabitants and their unwillingness to cooperate in forging the chains of their own slavery. This dislocation becomes more severe where passive and open
JANUARY 3, 194 2
resistance results in acts of sabotag:e and de- struction. Pitiless repressive measures persuade the majority to obey, who elect to preserve their own lives and perhaps the lives of their children, wliile cherishing- the hope that the conqueror ■will either relent or in the end be overthrown. The net result is a complete reorganization of the industrial jaroductivity of the nation, car- ried out under the authority of totalitarian agents whose single aim is to augment the re- sources of the master state. While the war is in progi'ess these aims will be confined to in- creasing the military potential and to augment- ing the striking-power of the armed forces.
We are, however, vitally concerned with the aims which affect the ultimate status of the world, economically and politically, over a long period of time. Our own progress and way of life will be determined by the kind of world in which we shall have to live thi'ough the decades and generations ahead. It is clear that the system which the would-be conquerors are determined to impose upon the world would not only destroy liberty and all the amenities of civilization and culture, overturn the rule of law wherever they have the power to do so, but would perpetuate an economic conflict so far reaching that the most isolated community on the earth would suffer the deteriorating ef- fects. This country will not accept such a sys- tem. It presupposes, first of all, a master state which, over and above its prerogatives of sov- ereignty, imposes upon all less powerful mem- bers a subordinate role, whicli members are compelled, in fact ordered, to adjust their na- tional economies and productive processes to the needs of the other. This means permanent isolation of such countries from the general sys- tem of world economy, a denial of their own progress in the search after higher living stand- ards, and the danger that their common eco- nomic status will progressively deteriorate as victims of foreign exploitation. The system which our totalitarian enemies mean to estab- lish negates all the historical {jrogress which has been made by the family of nations in an effort to realize ultimate cooperation between states and peoijles.
19
Never in the history of the world has state- craft been more ingenious and inventive in devising means of gaining control, not oidy of domestic economy but particularly of foreign trade for the purpose of attaining self-suffi- ciency, military and political predominance in tlie international field. Few of the devices used by the totalitarian states failed to have imme- diate and far-reaching effect upon the trade of most countries, including the United States. Foreign-excliange control reduced the volume of American exports in the earliest stages of the process when the totalitarian states began to mass material and supplies for their attack upon free countries; quantitative regulations in the form of import quotas soon affected the major exports from this country. The situa- tion was further aggravated by the use of multi- ple currencies, trading monopolies, exclusive trade arrangements with other states, the bilat- eral balancing of trade, and the consummation of barter-deals. It became clear to those who closely observed the M'orking of these devices that the aims were not economic but part of a vast scheme to pile up armaments and strategic materials for an eventual world conflict. In fact, all of these measures adopted in the totali- tarian countries were the first acts of aggression against the security and well-being of the civ- ilized world. The deliberate encroachments upon our commercial rights in international commerce, the interference with our trade with other nations, the discrimination practiced against our shipping, and the flouting of treaty provisions and international accords over a period of years presaged the more deadly on- slaughts which are now being waged against us. At no time in the world's history has there developed so startling a retrogression in human ideals. During the last decade millions of peo- ple in the Fascist and totalitarian states of Western Europe have been successfully led in revolt against their own freedom. They have aided in the overthrow of laws and consti- tutional rights on which their well-being depended. They have assisted in the enthrone- ment of masters who have destroyed their eco- nomic security and taken control of their

property and wealth. They have abandoned the inviolability of their homes and surrendered their children to the Molochs of corruption and false doctrine. They have hurled themselves with fire and sword against their peaceful neighbors, plundering and enslaving the inhabi- tants with cruel, relentless fury.
While the fateful events have been in the making which came to a climax with the assault upon our territory and with our entrance into the war, our Government has steadily endeav- ored to advance those principles upon which international prosperity is based. We have constantly adhered to our treaty obligations and broken no covenants to wliich we have sub- scribed. Over against the totalitarian princi- ple of exploitation we have unremittingly worked for international cooperation and the reign of international law. The program which the United States has followed in its trade relations with other countries during the last eight years has accelerated economic coop- eration among those nations who are either now our allies in the present conflict or are counted among our friends.
The most constructive effort which this Gov- ernment has made in the field of intemational economic relations has been embodied in the trade-agreements program which was inaugu- rated in 1934 with the enactment by the Con- gress of the Trade Agreements Act. It has been the object of the Government on behalf of the manufacturing and agricultural inter- ests of this country, as well as on behalf of peoples everywhere, to make the exchange of goods throughout the world a means of promot- ing common prosperity. It was an effort to give effect to the principle of non-discrimination in international commercial relations. It was the antithesis of the discriminatory policy adopted and promoted by the totalitarian states. It was an effort to give effect to the obvious truth that a nation cannot continue to seU if it does not buy. In every case where agree- ments were reached trade was stimulated and closer economic relations were established. The cornerstone of the Government's policy in pro- moting sound economic relations among nations rests upon the principle of "non-discrimina-
tion", that is, upon the legal concept of equality of treatment which is expressed in the "most- favored-nation clause", which in every case has been embodied in the trade agreements made with other countries. It is the role of govern- m,ent to carry out negotiations with foreign states so that a mutually profitable interchange of goods becomes possible; it is the role of busi- ness to buy and sell. But business cannot func- tion in a world whei-e every nation is playing a lone hand and stacking the cards against the other. There are certain fundamental princi- ples which all nations must adopt and adhere to if international economic relations are finally to rest upon a solid basis. It may not be pos- sible in a world made up of so many peoples of divergent race and traditions to attain any degree of political and cultural homogeneity: but in the international economic sphere, where the distribution of essential raw materials and the interchange of goods must continue for the general good of mankind, a common standard of enlightened conduct must be assured, based upon legal conceptions just and equitable to all.
With the entrance into the war the country has not only consecrated all the resources and manpower of the Nation to the sM'ift and com- plete attainment of victory but also to the estab- lishment and maintenance of a just world-order, in which the rapine and plunder of our ad- versaries cannot again menace the security and peace of all men. Upon the great world's stage all the forces of civilization are arrayed in a mighty conflict to preserve by deeds of arms those principles and institutions essential to hu- man progress. The aims were clearly set forth by the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Great Britain in a joint dec- laration now known as the "Atlantic Charter" released by the T\Tiite House on August 14, wherein the following statements were made with reference (o international economic rela- tions :
"Fourth, thej' will endeavor, with due respect for existing obligations, to further the enjoy- ment by all States, gi-eat or small, victor or van- quished, of access, on equal terms, to tlie trade and to the raw materials of the world which are needed for their economic prosperity ;
JANUARY 3, 1942

"Fifth, they desire to bring about the fullest collaboration between all nations in the eco- nomic field with the object of securing, for all, improved labor standards, economic advance- ment, and social security".
The Under Secretary of State in a recent ad- dress emphasized tlie significance of the declara- tion as follows:
"This categorical statement of the essentials of post-war commercial policy reciuires no in- terpretation. I should, however, like to em- phasize its meaning and significance.
"The basic conception is that your Govern- ment is determined to move towards the crea- tion of conditions under which restrictive and unconscionable tariffs, preferences, and discrim- inations are things of the past; under which no nation should seek to benefit itself at the expense of another; and under which destruc- tive trade warfare shall be replaced by coopera- tion for the welfare of all nations.
"The Atlantic Declaration means that every nation has a right to expect that its legitimate trade will not be diverted and throttled by towering tariffs, preferences, discriminations, or narrow bilateral practices. Most fortunately we have already done much to put our own commercial policy in order. So long as we adhere and persistently implement the prin- ciples and policies which made possible the enactment of the Trade Agreements Act, the United States will not furnish, as it did after the last war, an excuse for trade-destroying and trade-diverting practices.
"The purpose so simply set forth in the At- lantic Declaration is to promote the economic prosperity of all nations 'great or small, victor or vanquished'. Given this purpose and the determination to act in accordance with it, the means of attaining this objective will always be found. It is a purpose which does not have its origin primai'ily in altruistic conceptions. It is inspired by the realization, so painfully forced on us by the experiences of the past and of the present, that in the long run no nation can prosper by itself or at the expense of others and that no nation can live unto itself alone."
There can be only one end to this war; and that is the end which the United States and the countries allied in the same cause have set out to reach.
The world is no longer waiting in perplexity and fear of the issues of the future. The period of uncertainty and vacillation is passed. The momentum of the march toward victory will increase with every passing day until the forces arraj'ed against us will be overwhelmed and destroyed and the revolution of nihilism dis- appears from the earth.
When that day comes this great world of human beings will grow hoarse with the frenzy and jubilation of thanksgiving. They will realize that they have had a rendezvous with destiny; a narrow escape, where everything which makes human life worth while was at stake, not only for them but also for their chil- dren. When that day comes the hundreds of millions who are now threatened with slavery will turn to the leaders of the world's affairs and demand assurance that their liberties never again be placed in jeopardy. We shall have a major part in determining the giurranties upon which that assurance will be based. Our place in world affairs is now fixed; our own interest demands that we never again retreat from bear- ing our full responsibility in safeguarding the lot of the human race.
In the declaration of the Atlantic Charter the future of the world is presaged. A universal order must be established that will embody the aspirations of all and give every nation an equal opportunity to develop its national life in har- mony with its neighbors and in consonance with the general course of enlightened civilization. Each nation must recognize its opportunity as well as its responsibility in international affairs; and this responsibility cannot be exercised more vitally than in the task of rearing an interna- tional economic order in which the prosperity of all will be guaranteed. There can be no bet- ter start in that new day when a war-wearied world will look to us for guidance than to make those principles universal which the Secretary of State has unceasingly fostered and advanced in international conunercial relations.

SUPPLEMENTARY TRADE AGREEMENT WITH CUBA
[Released to the press December 29]
On December 29, 1941 the President pro- claimed the second supplementary trade agree- ment between the United States and Cuba which was signed at Habana on December 23, 1941. The publication of the new agreement in the Gaceta Of,cml of the Republic of Cuba took place on the same day that it was proclaimed in the United States.
In accordance with the provisions of article IX, the new agreement will enter into force on January 5, 1942.
An analysis of the general provisions of the new agreement was printed in the BuUetin of December 27, 1941, page 603. The text of the agreement will be printed shortly in the Execu- tive Agreement Series.
TRADE-AGREEMENT NEGOTIATIONS WITH PERU
[Released to the press December 29]
On December 29, 1941 the Secretary of State issued formal notice of intention to negotiate a trade agreement with the Government of Peru.
The Committee for Reciprocity Information issued simultaneously a notice setting the dates for the submission to it of information and views in writing and of applications to appear at public hearings to be held by the Committee, and fixing the time and place for the opening of the hearings.
There is printed below a list of products which will come under consideration for the possible granting of concessions by the Govern- ment of the United States. Representations which interested persons may wish to make to the Committee for Reciprocity Information need not be confined to the articles appearing in this list but may cover any articles of actual or potential interest in the import or export trade of the United States with Peru. However, only the articles contained in the list issued on De- cember 29 or in any supplementary list issued later will come under consideration for the pos- sible granting of concessions by the Government of the United States.
Suggestions with regard to the form and con- tent of presentations addressed to the Commit- tee for Reciprocity Information are included in a statement released by that Committee on December 13, 1937.
A compilation showing the total trade be-
tween the United States and Peru during the years 1929-40 inclusive, together with the prin- cipal products involved in the trade between the two countries during the years 1939 and 1940, has been prepared by the Department of Com- merce, and is printed below.

List of Products on Which the United States Will Consider Granting Conces- sions to Peru
The rates of duty or import tax indicated are those now applicable to products of Peru. Where the rate is one which has been reduced pursuant to a previous trade agreement by 50 percent (the maximum permitted by the Trade Agreements Act) it is indicated by the symbol MR. Where a rate has been bound free of duty in a previous trade agreement, it is indi- cated by the symbol B.
For the purpose of facilitating identification of the articles listed, reference is made in the list to the paragraph numbers of the tariff schedules in the Tariff Act of 1930, or, as the case may be, to the appropriate sections of the Internal Revenue Code. The descriptive phraseology is, however, in many cases limited to a narrower field than that covered by the numbered tariff paragraph or section in the Internal Revenue Code. In such cases only the articles covered by the descriptive phraseology of the list will come under con- sideration for the granting of concessions.
In the event that articles which are at present regarded as classifiable under the de- scriptions included in the list are excluded therefrom by judicial decision or otherwise prior to the conclusion of the agreement, the list will nevertheless be considered as includ- ing such articles.

Cultural Relations
THE ROLE OF CULTURAL EXCHANGE m WARTIME ADDRESS BY CHARLES A. THOMSON'
[Released to the press December 31]
The original subject of this talk, "The Eole of Cultural Exchange in the Present and Fu- ture Relations of the Americas", was assigned and accepted when our country was at peace — albeit an uneasy peace — with all the world. Now that we are at war in the Atlantic and in the Pacific, on land, on sea, and in the air, there is an arresting timeliness in the question : What is the role of cultural exchange in war- time?
We are not tlie fii-st nation to be faced with this question. Great Britain and Germany have been answering it in the other American republics, while their battles raged in Europe, and their responses have borne what may ap- pear to some a surprising degree of resem- blance. Each in its own way has not di- minished but has rather intensified cultural activities as an essential basis for relations dur- ing and after the conflict. Japan has answered similarly : at the very hour that Japanese planes were attacking Pearl Harbor, Japanese representatives were promoting a cultural agreement with Brazil. China, too, has an- swered. Under invasion and bombardment, China has never slackened her supj)ort of Chi- nese-American cultural agencies. This ima- nimity of response from our enemies as well as from our allies is the most convincing testi- mony possible to the immense importance of fostering and furthering cultural relations now.
As for us, our own Government has accepted for many years the solidarity of the American republics as basic in our international relations. The cultural factor is a primary contributor

toward that solidarity. Obviously it would be detrimental, even disastrous, to lose sight of this factor under pressure of war conditions.
In short, cultural relations — which have been happily defined as "a better muttial comprehen- sion of one another's ways"— serve to provide that underlying basic understanding and com- munity of interest and eflPort essential to con- tinuing an effective cooperation among the American nations. Konrad Bercovici declared recently "We in the United States have recog- nized at long last that to protect ourselves we nuist protect the other Americas. But Me have not yet convinced our neighbors that our pro- posed cooperation is of mutual interest. It is. We have not told them, not really told them, not so that our words would sink in, that if we do not frustrate the aggi'essors or would-be aggressors now — together — -they, the Mexicans and the Central and South Aanericans, will all be in grave danger. That is the language they would understand, if properly uttered not only by our political leaders, but by ourselves, the ])eople."
Now it is more than ever important that our country strengthen the bonds of friendship with the other American republics, demonstrate to them that the cause of our freedom is the cause of their freedom, of all freedom; and it is ui'gently necessary that the channels of travel and information be kept open. The immediate agencies to effect this are the agencies already fruitfully at work: The interchange between the Americas of leaders of thought and opinion, of research workers, technicians, and professors and students; translation back and forth of significant and revealing writings whether for their timeliness or for their enduring literary values; the showing in our sister countries of motion pictures that reveal life in the United States — and now, most particularly, life as lived

with undimmed vitality and unclouded faith in wartime — and similarly, the showing of pic- tures here that tell of the life and purposes of the peoples to the South; and the transmission of radio progi'ams to the same end.
We are accustomed to link propaganda and war in our thinking. But what is the role of cultural relations in wartime, as distinct from propaganda? In answer, we may note that there are three major ways of influencing the ideas of other peoples. One is the way the Nazis have brought to perfection a subversive, insidious system which they employ as an im- plement of aggression, as the psychological arm of their pattern of conquest. It is used as the prelude to military subjection. It is designed to create a pathological condition in the mind of another people, to bring about emotional confusion in a nation in order to "soften" its will and render it powerless to take action for its own preservation. It rep- resents the now familiar technique of the "war of nerves". Those who administer this
