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.
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.
In view of these - THIS, as we find, is the counsel as might
be offered in the present:
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.
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.
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.
Hence, the advice and counsel, the activities should be
towards those as they would be towards brethren - where
disputes or disturbances have arisen.
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.
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.
For it is as brother against brother in the disputes.
And know that all stand as one before the judgement bar of
the Creator.
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!
Do not pray one way and live another! Be consistent, be
persistent.
Ready for questions.
(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.
We are through for the present.
