Your note following my letter in TIME of May 13 on your and Senator Nye's thesis that munitions-makers cause wars asks me to consider that the French firm of Schneider-Crcusot secretly helped to finance Adolf Hitler and then propagandized at home for increased armament to defend La Patric. Don't you think that you are indulging in that fallacy in argumentation known as ignoration of the clench? You maintain-at least Senator Nye does (perhaps you only imply)-that munitions-makers cause wars: you prove only that they sell munitions...
...latest March of Time last night and it is by far the best yet. However, don't you think you are rather running the munitions makers into the ground when Senator Nye is already doing such a good job of it?

To these he added for good measure the Wagner Labor Disputes Bill and the Administration's utilities holding company bill. For each one, his audience applauded vigorously. Having progressed from Page 7 to Page...
...factors are of such vital importance, the blockade is so deadly a weapon, that self-preservation forces belligerents to curtail neutral trading privileges. The other course, less glorious but more realistic, is to withdraw the protection of the government from those who engage in commerce with warring nations. The Nye-Clark resolutions would be a step towards the adoption of this attitude...
