If the morale of the Chinese people were to break, it is pointed out, if they were to succumb to Japanese propaâ€" ganda and make a separate peace ofâ€" fered by Japan, the cost to the United States might be the lives of hundreds of thousands of our young men, bilâ€" lions of dollars, and a lengthening of during which every vestige of free enterprise could vanish from the Unitâ€" ed States.
