It emanates from many sources both from within and without our country. including the highest sources within the administrationthe White House and the State Departmentto such an extent that the peaceloving American people are inclined to look under the bed at night to see if a Jap or an Italian or a German is hiding there. ready to pounce out on a defenseless American. I listened to the remarks of my colleague from New York . He made an able speech. I agree with much that he had to say about national defense. I am in accord with his remarks about upholding the Monroe Doctrine. but when he says that troops are on the march in European or Asiatic nations I see no reason to believe or to fear that they are on the march to New York or Los Angeles. Buenos Aires. or Rio de Janeiro. Quite the contrary.
