Referring to President Roosevelt's proposed economic sanctions against aggressor nations, the Council said the complete details of the new foreign policy being drafted by the Administration "will come later."
"The Presidents message to Congress," the letter said, "was an attempt to feel out the country before getting down to specific action. The first specific proposal which will be trans-luted into action will be the national defense programme. The Administration feels that American public opinion is ready to accept plans for a larger and more expensive Army and Navy.
"Later in the present session of Congress if public opinion still indicates its support proposals will be forthcoming from the Administration regarding changes in the existing neutrality legislation and economic sanctions against aggressor nations.
"No developments are expected regarding international consultation, unless such talks are undertaken by the Democracies to- stop Japan, Germany and Italy. That is not likely to be an openly announced move. Rather, it would be a quiet exchange of diplomatic notes conducted be-Tween the various foreign offices."
