Deares t Mrs . Roosevelt :

I am re t urning Capt. Hose's letter and the report of his

interview wi th Pastor Nie~oell~r. Your letter , it seems to me,

answers his questions tbout:h I am not sure he wiJ.l understand after

having misunderstood so completely your col~•· His interview proves

nothing as you did not questi on Pastor Niell!oeller 88 a Chri sti an

or even a Cburchleader-- but only as 8 political leader, nnd there

is not a single sentence in Capt. Rose 'a i nterview which proves t hat

Pastor Niemoeller is not a pan- Germanist and does ~ went a soft <..) ) (")

peace ror Germany . I do think professi onal Christians rJ

SNI very

easily fooled .
