He recognizes Europe as the primary perpetrator of WWII and thus believes they should take the most responsibility for the crisis that they created.
B
While he believes that the U. S. should intervene, he does not think it would be wise to do so without a formal invitation for intervention, lest it be seen as an invasion.
C
He recognizes that Europe may resent American aid (due to political and national prejudices) and therefore the U. S. should only provide relief to those who ask for it.
D
He thinks any relief program must be a united effort (from European countries and the U. S.), but ultimately it is the business and responsibility of those affected (i. e. Europe).
