Nothing new, they always have talked like that.
“Like thieves who operate under the cover of night, there are in our midst those who operate beneath the cloak of protected auspices to steal our liberty, our peace and our autonomy. Frederic R. Goudert is one of these. ‘The Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies’ is a high-sounding name composed of high-handed gentlemen who are leaving no stone unturned to throw everything precious to an American to the dogs of war. Frederic R. Goudert organized this Committee. Sneakingly, subversively and un-Americanly hiding behind a sanctimonious stuffed shirt named William Allen White, these men form the most dangerous fifth column that ever set foot upon neutral soil. They are the Quislings of America. They are the Judas Iscariots within the apostolic college of our nation.
“They are the gold-protected, Government-protected, foreign-protected snakes in the grass who dare not stand upright and speak like men face to face. Eighteen prominent bankers met secretly on the 29th day of April in New York to set up this Committee. They were called together by Frederic R. Coudert, the legal adviser of the British Embassy and one who helped lead us into the last World War.”
