Congress: Keep
Out of War
Secend-Class Matter
Dr. B. J. W. Graham, whose book,
"A Ministry of Fifty Years", was
published recently is receiving fav-
orable comment from the press.
Dr. Louie D. Newton, in the Atlan-
ta Constitution, is quoted as fol-
lows:
"It is one of the most interesting
books I have read in a long
while. It might well be called an
autobiography, for, on every page
Dr. Graham traces his life story
through his many pastorates, his
career
as
a journalist and his
plain taking sides, with the tongue
in the cheek and a wink in the eye,
while the mischief is done behind
a law that is called a neutrality
Congress assembled yesterday to
V pass laws designed to keep
us out—or get us into—the Euro
pean war.
Congress should listen to the
words of Col. Charles A. Lind-
bergh.
He said we should stay out.
He said we must not be guided
by “this foreign propaganda to
the effect that our frontiers lie in
Europe.”
That statement was attributed
sometime ago to President Roose
velt. He probably was misquoted
or misinterpreted.
But Col. Lindbergh has hit the
nail on the head. The theory
that we are involved in Europes’s
quarrels is foreign propaganda.
THEY WANT US IN
Of course Europe’s quarreling
statesmen want us in. They
want us in for our money and our
men.
Col. Lindbergh reminds us that
if we do get in this time in war,
we will have to stay in after the
war ends, to play the petty game of
international lying and stealing
that goes on constantly throughout
Europe.
He points out very logically:
"If we enter the quarrels of Eu-
rope during War, we must stay in
them in time of peace. It is mad
ness to send our soldiers to be kil
led as we did in the last war if we
turn the course of peace over to
the greed, the fear, the intrigue of
European nations.”
WE LOST BEFORE

smack into war.
IF HITLER WINS
ones we
sink our
lead us
People talking on the street,
urging sympathy with Britain and
France and Poland, ask the ques
tion, “What if Hitler Wins?”
They say he will attack us next.
We have lived since this nation
was founded without being at
tacked. In every war we have en
listed in we have been the attack
ers. We marched into Mexico.
We marched into Cuba and the
Philippines, and into Europe.
We made those marches, not
through attack or fear of attack,
but through what Col. Lindbergh
warns about, “sentiment, sympa-
thy, pity, our personal feelings."
If we had remained neutral in
spirit in 1914-17 there would nev
er have been any march of Amer-
ican arms to Europe. It was our
sentiment against the Hun that got
us into the war.
If the Hun had won, would he
have attacked us?
We had never quarreled with
him until we attacked him. He
had never quarreled with us until
we attacked him.
And that is a bridge to cross
when we reach it. It is foolish
to build a bridge just to see if we
can cross it. And that is what we
are doing when we enter Europe-
an quarrels.
many contacts with the men and
movements of Georgia from the
time he entered the ministry until
the present.
"I can’t imagine a better review
of Georgia history for the past
half century than the reading of
this fascinating book. Dr. Gra-
ham knows how to tell a story, and
in these interesting accounts of his
varied contacts with the men and
women of leadership in Georgia,
he reflects the general life of the
state in a very remarkable way.
"Born in Cherokee county on a
farm in the Big Springs and Shi
loh neighborhood, he inherited the
strength of the hills and was
taught by his father and mother
the dignity of work and the value
of time. He tells how he grew up
in a Methodist home and how he
fully intended to join the Metho
dist church, until the pastor re-
fused to immerse him, and that
accounted for him becoming a
Baptist.
"With a family of five children|
he finally entered Mercer Univer-
sity, in 1889, graduating in 1894,'
and although he went to Mercer;
without any money, he graduated
without owing a dime. Then fol
lowed the many pastorates and
the successful editorship of the In-
dex, but my space is gone before
I get started to review this de
lightful book. Get it and read it.”
Your County Library
We paid for the last war. We
fought it and won it, with our sac-
rifice of some thousands of our
best young American, and then we
turned idealists again.
We turned our back upon any
gain from the war and in doing
so we shut the door even to get-
ting back the money we lent Eu-
rope. More than 12 billion dol-
lars, a sizeable part of our nation-
al debt, is money that Europe bor-
rowed and will not pay back.
It was borrowed by the very
peoples who want us for their al-
ly again.
After all that cost we turned
over to Europe again the destiny
of peace or war. And they have
brought upon themselves another
war.
Healing Rifts

For the past month

we
rumors —
BIG HEARTED IDEAS
We had ideas of serving
hu-
manity by killing a few of the hu-
mans and making the rest of them
follow our kind of government.
And now we are all worked up
over humanity again. But Col.
Lindbergh warns us that we must
not fall for that stuff. Said he:
"We must not permit our sen-
timent, our pity, or our personal
feelings of sympathy, to obscure
the issue."
We must not care what hap-
pens to minorities in Europe, mi-
norities that deliberately violate
laws to stir up strife in the hope
of revolution or war that may put
them forth as leaders of the ma-
jority instead of the minority.
They are mountebanks who
would start a war just to get a
chance to try to lead it. That is
not the kind of quarrel that
should interest America.
QUEER NEUTRALITY
Congress is going to
change the neutrality laws
try
to
Under the laws we now have we
can't sell war materials to war-
ring nations.
Under the proposed new law,
we can.
Now that is a queer sort of neu
trality law. We will have a law
that will let us hand a gun to the
murderer, if the change is made.
The trouble is, some of our
idealists want the law changed for
this reason: So that we can hand
the gun to the side THEY want to
hand it to.
That isn't neutrality. That is
we do mean RUMORS— that the
Administration would make over-
tures to certain Senators in an ef-
fort to heal the wounds of last
year’s unsuccessful "purge."
The President’s letter of good
wishes to Senator George at the
New York hospital where the
Georgia Senator underwent an eye
operation, may have a deeper sig-
nificance than the expressed hopes
for a speedy recovery would indi
cate.
. The sincerity of the President’s
action in this regard cannot be
doubted as Mr. Roosevelt’s genu-
ine respect for Senator George is
well known.
This column, speaking solely
for itself, would be happy to see
a peace pact between the Presi-
dent and the Georgia Senator.
Everyone involved stands to gain
—certainly the President needs
more Congressional friendliness;
certainly both of our Senators
could use a little more White
House co-operation; but most im-
portant of all, the people of Geor-
gia would benefit greatly by clos-
er coordination between the two
branches.
In this respect also, it has be-
come increasingly apparent that
the grip held by the left-wing
group for so long has been shaken
off, to a great extent, by the White
House. In several instances re
cently the radical left-wingers
have been replaced in important
consultations by practical advisers
! both in the business world and in
the army and navy.
We hope this definitely rings
down the curtain on the Cocoran-
Cohen comedy-duo and that we
now can sit back and witness a
play with a pointed and purpose-
ful plot.

OFFICIAL Washington's im-
iression is that the average Ger-
nan not only didn't want war but
didn’t really look for it. He was
worried, of course. Yet, from all
accounts, he
wasn’t as much
worried as the
English and
French were —
for the simple
reason that his
country’s cen-
sorship was so
tight that evi
dently he was
unable to keep
in any sort of
adequate touch
w1th'develop
ments. What
he appears to
was that Fuehrer

demanding by demanding it, with-
out actually fighting. Quite likely
Hitler himself thought so. On the
opposite hand, the English and
French, while recognizing the
situation’s dangers, obviously
clung to a near-conviction that
Adolf was only super-bluffing and

over the nation, much more than
all the other possible candidates
combined.
Haste usually proves a detri
ment to the results we hope to ac
complish. We refer especially to
the neutrality legislation which
was pigeon-holed by the Senate
Committee at the last session of
Congress.
As it is now, when Congress, in ]
extra session, again considers this
The Gallup polls always are in-
teresting. The latest one, just
published in the Atlanta Consti-
tution, shows Vice-President Gar-
ner still far in the lead for the
Democratic nomination for the
Presidency in 1940, provided
President Roosevelt himself is not
a candidate. Mr. Garner was giv-
matter in the light of the Europe
an War, practically every Con
gressman will know just how the
people back home want him to
vote.
Nearly everyone of them has
been back among his constituents,
and has talked it over with them.
This time we’re pretty apt to get
a law the people approve of, and
after all the people are still the
real rulers in this land of ours.
Moreover let us add here that
the theory that Hitler was encou
raged by the failure to revise the
neutrality laws has been refuted
by the highest authority—by Hit
ler himself. Hitler went to war
only after his alliance with Stalin.
As George Rothwell Brown, noted
political commentator says:
"Many Senators opposed grant
ing to the President the larger
powers he demanded in neutrality
revision, because they did believe
war was imminent, and were
strongly of the opinion that, in
such an eventuality, it was the du
ty of Congress to retain unim
paired in its own hands the whole
of the constitutional war-making
powers.
"Events have sustained the wis-
en 45 per cent of all those polled dom of the Senate.”
TODAY WE go back to the
Prophet Isaiah, who, you remem-
ber, lived at the same time as
Micah, who was the subject of
last week’s lesson. The subject
today is Isaiah’s prophecies of the
coming of Jesus. Isaiah undoubt-
edly thought the Messiah was
coming very soon, as this nation
badly needed a leader, as it was
about to suffer invasion and the
people captivity at the hands of
the Assyrians. As a matter of
fact, Jesus was not born until 700
years had passed. The time of
today’s lesson is placed around
734 B. C.
We cannot do better than to
read and memorize the words of
Isaiah, not only for their beauty,
which, once learned, will remain
in the consciousness all one’s life,
but for the foretelling, which most
certainly describes Jesus.
"And there shall come forth a
rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a
Branch shall grow out of his
roots:
Spirit of Lord Rests Upon Him
“And the Spirit of the Lord
shall rest upon Him, the spirit of
wisdom and understanding, the
spirit of counsel and might, the
spirit of knowledge and of the
fear of the Lord." That quotation
is taken from Isaiah 11, and in
Chapter 9 he says:
"For unto us a Child is born,
unto us a Son is given- and the
government shall be upon His
shoulders and His name shall be
called Wonderful, Counsellor, The
Mighty God, The Everlasting Fa
ther, The Prince of Peace."
All through the years the Chil
dren of Israel kept the hope of the
coming of the Messiah, and it
cheered them through all their
troubles. The Child, when it came,
was to be called Immanuel, mean-
ing "God is with us," says Isaiah.
This Messiah shall be "quick of
understanding in the fear of the
Lord; and He shall not judge after
the sight of His eyes, neither re
prove after the hearing of His
ears:
"But with righteousness shall
He judge the poor, and reprove
with equity for the meek of the
earth: and He shall smite the
earth with the rod of His mouth,
and with the breath of His lips
shall He slay the wicked.
"And righteousness shall be the
girdle of His loins, and faithful
ness the girdle of His reins.”
Taught Way of Life
Jesus, when He came, did not
liberate His people in the way the
prophets expected. He taught the
Way of Life which makes us all
free if we will but follow it—a
higher and more wonderful way
than even the prophets under
stood.
All through the trials and trib
ulations of his people did Isaiah
comfort them with promises of
God’s help if they would but rely
upon Him.
“Why sayest thou, O Jacob,
and speakest, O Israel, my way
is hid from the Lord, and my
judgment is passed over from my
God?
"Hast thou not known? hast
thou not heard, that the everlast
ing God, the Lord, the Creator of
the ends of the earth, fainteth not.
neither is weary? there is no
searching of His understanding.
“He giveth power to the faint;
and to them that have no might
he increaseth strength.
"Even the youths shall faint
and be weary, and the young men
shall utterly fall:
"But they that wait upon the
Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as
eagles; they shall run and not be
weary; and they shall walk, and
not faint."
Next week we learn of the com-
ing of Jesus and begin the study
of His teachings.

advices were to this effect, anyway.
Washington believed much the
same thing up to the last minute.
At all events it vehemently hoped
so. Even during the days of rival
mobilizations and blackouts and
rationing, the guess was to be
heard from well-informed function
aries that the prolongation of
these preparations hinted at a
peaceful outcome, at least tempo-
rarily.
As one high-up military man (he
wouldn’t thank me if I named him,
thus advertising his misjudgment)
remarked to me, "supposing an
athlete wants to establish a record
as a long running jumper, he
doesn’t run ten miles before taking
off. That would be too far. He’d
fall exhausted while still on terra
firma."
Germany Never Licked?
There's some interesting state
departmental, army and navy com-
ment in connection with the Nazi
claim that the Fatherland wasn’t
truly licked in the last war—that
what happened was a revolution at
home instead of a pro-ally victory
This contention isn’t at all hotly
disputed.
Plenty of good authorities are
prepared to admit that German
arms could have held their own
almost indefinitely if internal Ger
many hadn’t intolerably tired of
the kaiser and if the kaiser hadn’t
scooted at the psychological
moment.
“But," query the critics, "what
assurance has Herr Hitler that
Germans generally won't tire of
him even sooner than they tired of
the kaiser?"
Wilhelm went into the war of
1914-18 with an extremely solid
Germany behind him. All the
evidence is that Adolf has a for-
midable discontented element to
reckon with. He talks about a
10-year war. Wilhelm, with a
better-looking beginning, couldn’t
outlast four years.
Adolf suggests successors to
himself, if, anything happens to
him. Wilhelm didn’t have to sug-
gest any successors. He had ’em
hereditarily scheduled. And his
dynasty certainly seemed as firmly
intrenched as Adolf’s does—more
so, maybe, as between 1914 and
1939.
The surmise is that Adolf’s
regime may blow up internally on
short notice unless he scores some
extraordinary triumphs very
speedily.
Planes, Germs and Poison
There’s a strong movement to
"humanize" this war, as they ex-
press it, by an all-around agree-
ment to bar indiscriminate air
bombings, the use of poison gas
and the scattering of disease
germs.
I can see the sense in the argu.
ment that it’s an unfair practice
to drop bombs from airplanes
upon noncombatants—killing and
maining peaceful folk, including
women and innocent little children.
But assume that some other guy
is trying to kill you, and you’re
trying to kill HIM What differ-
ence does it make whether you kill
him with a bullet, a chunk of
shrapnel, a lethal gas, a handful of
anthrax microbes or any other old
way? Who cares how he’s killed,
so long as he’s killed dead, regard-
less?
Poisoning wells, for some reason,
always has been spoken of as a
dirty form of warfare I don’t see
why it’s any worse than killing a
man with a shotgun It’s homicide,
in either case
