Time of Reading 11:05 to 11:15 A. M. Eastern Standard Time.

1. GC: You will have before you the enquiring mind of Leslie Savage, of 109 Pennington Avenue, Passaic, New Jersey, and the members of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., who are interested in the international situations existing or arising at this time. In view of the circumstances and conditions, what should be the attitude of the leader of our government, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and what should he do at this time? You will answer the questions that may be asked.

2. EC: Yes, we have the conditions that are arising in the international situations in the present; and as we find, the purposes and ideals of the members of the Association for Research and Enlightenment.

3. In view of these - THIS, as we find, is the counsel as might be offered in the present:

4. Conditions have advanced to such a tempo that to attempt to interfere would be rather to be drawn into the conditions that are arising and that will arise.

5. Rather, then, the policy should be to - in a brotherly manner - quiet as far as possible the fears of the peoples of the country as a nation; and advise all in their attitudes to not do or say that as would be in any manner a cause for animosities or hates to arise among the peoples of the land.

6. For all are brethren, and there are those of the nation that are bound up in the conditions of all those countries and peoples that are becoming involved in the situations.

7. Hence, the advice and counsel, the activities should be towards those as they would be towards brethren - where disputes or disturbances have arisen.

8. Not merely as a pacifist attitude of peace at ANY cost, but rather as that of equity, or equality, of the correct attitude of nation or brother as with brother, in respect to the whole situation.

9. These, then, with the necessary preparedness for the meeting of all emergencies in ANY direction that may be

taken by those who allow their hates and their disputes to overcome or to put aside brotherly love.

10. For it is as brother against brother in the disputes.

11. And know that all stand as one before the judgement bar of the Creator.

12. Hence prayer, and more prayer; and as we have given, LIVE toward one another as a nation, as a brother nation to the others - on EITHER side - as ye pray!

13. Do not pray one way and live another! Be consistent, be persistent.

14. Ready for questions.

15. (Q) May any other constructive or helpful information be given now regarding conditions over the country? (A) Keep in that manner of unity of purpose in a service to the fellow man, in God's service through His love for His fellow man.

16. We are through for the present. Copy to Mr. Savage - Special Delivery " " Ass'n file
