MacIntyre\nThe White House\nWashington, D. C.\n61 GRAMERCY PARK NORTH\nNEW YORK, N. Y.\nGRAMERCY 5-1216\nDecember 29th, 1938\nMy dear Mr. President:\nI have just received from England the\nfirst advance copy, which is enclosed herewith, of\na book entitled MORAL RE-ARMAMENT - THE BATTLE FOR\nPEACE, compiled by \"Bunny\" Austin, England's ranking\ntennis player, and dedicated to Lord Baldwin of\nBewdley, who first voiced the program of Moral Re-\nArmament for England and the Empire as \"the need of\nthe day\". It is a compilation of the response from\npolitical, business, labor and sports leaders in\nEngland and other European countries. It has a\nfirst edition of 250,000 copies.\nYou will note especially the statement\nof the Earl of Athlone, personal A.D.C. to the King\non page 26, the proclamation of Her Majesty, the\nQueen of the Netherlands on Moral Re-Armament on\npage 49, the statement of His Majesty, the King of\nthe Belgians on page 54, the Manifesto of British\nLabour on page 16, the statement of Lord Baldwin\non page 9 with which the book begins, as well as\nthat of the Scottish leaders on page 29.\nAfter the strain and disillusionment\nof recent months in the international scene, the\nNew Year presents an opportunity to voice for\nAmerica such a positive and constructive program\nas Moral Re-Armament represents. In your first\nspeech of the New Year at the opening of Congress,\nthis note may be most valuable in creating for the\nnation an atmosphere of confidence and faith. Such\na lead on your part would certainly have a world\necho and would be received with gratitude by re-\nsponsible statesmen in England and throughout\nEurope, as well as by countless Americans who hold\nyou in highest esteem.\nWith heartfelt good wishes for the\nNew Year,\nYours very sincerely,\nRay Foote Purdy\nThe President of the United States\nThe White House\nWashington, D.
