I believe we were still--policy-wise--in an isolationist mode then, and not in a war, declared or undeclared, at the time. I'm not aware of another country which was in 1939 (1) in a declared war, (2) had the position of Secretary of State, and (3) enough religious freedom that a rabbi would make a political statement like that without suffering consequences greater than being told "don't do that".
I also believe that Hank knows this.
