Today the news from the the Far East is worse than ever and I have read your and Secretary Hull's statements as to Japanese brutality. The Japanese Ambassador here boasted a day or two ago of his country's having killed 500,000 Chinese people. The facts of today and the statements that have been made show that no positive action is expected on the part of the United States and England. This simply means that the policy of Mussolini and Hitler is expected to be applied to the world and what a and result that would be.
