Susan Lindauer enters the history books along side E. Stanley Jones, Harry hopkins and other well-intentioned idiots.In assessing the damage Lindauer might have done it is worth considering another prewar incident from Roosevelt's administration. Roosevelt's friend, E. Stanley Jones, a well-known Methodist preacher, offered to carry messages back and forth between Roosevelt and a Japanese diplomat, Hidenari Terasaki. Terasaki implored Roosevelt to appeal for peace directly to the emperor. He also begged Roosevelt not to mention his name owing to the risks Terasaki ran by his secret peacemaking correspondence.
Roosevelt assured Jones that Terasaki's secret was safe, and the next day he discussed with his Cabinet the idea of an appeal to the emperor. The telegram was never sent, but Roosevelt took the message to mean the Japanese were disorganized and "running around like wet hens." That was on December 2, 1941.
