Dear Nancy Adams,
Our League is very much concerned at what appears to us to be a strengthening of Government support of Fascism, a policy of weakness which, far from conciliating the aggressor nations and keeping this country out of a world war, has produced a situation in which the forces of General Franco bomb and sink our ships, and destroy the lives of British seamen carrying out their legitimate work.
Our trade interests are seriously menaced by the dumping of mass quantities of German and Italian goods, which not only receive a subsidy from their own governments, but are manufactured under conditions and for wages which would not be tolerated in this country.
From the humanitarian point of view the ruthless bombing of non-combatants in China and Japan is a challenge to civilisation, a foretaste of what will happen in this country if aggression goes unchecked.
Germany's territorial ambitions have never been concealed. Having seized Austria it is only a question of time before we shall be facing further international crises, since she claims the right to absorb other German-speaking minorities.
Loans or credits to Germany or Italy at this time are bound to have a detrimental effect on the trade of this country, and it is surely the policy of the irresponsible gambler who continues to pile up bad debts in the hope that some day he may get  the original sum back.
