manifestly what they called him here the other day: the boy that fell
down on his assignment. And when you think, if you do think, of the
BILLIONS that have been lifted by the Morgenthau treasury policy

God knows what it will be during warfare, or by the end, shall we say,

you out. Inspired (shall we say) by the principle of self-determination of
peoples, oppressed peoples ? Illustratin’ it by the determination to keep
Mr. Aguinaldo out of his native Manila you have chucked away our
national cultural heritage.
Relatively speakin’ that heritage was the determination of our forebears
to set up and maintain in the North American continent a government
better than any other.
The determination to govern ourselves INternally, better than any other
nation on earth. The idea of Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, to keep out
of foreign shindies.
Well, you have chucked that idea, or ideal onto the dung heap. And you
have insulted the most highly tempered people on earth. With
unspeakable vulgarity you have insulted the most finely tempered people
on earth, threatenin’ ’em with starvation, threatenin’ ’em with
encirclement and tellin’ ’em they were too low down to fight.
You are at war for the duration of the Tenno’s pleasure. Nothin’ in the
Western World; nothin’ in the whole of our Occident can help you to
dodge that. Nothin’ can help you dodge it.
