Advertising rates on request Now Keep Us Out Of War TO THAT VAST minority of A- Imericans who didn’t believe in the Arms Embargo Repeal, mis called the Neutrality Law, comes naturally the thought, “Will it really keep us out of war?” And the more reasonable of the group will be willing to add, “Although I believed it wrong, I now support it if it will keep us out of war.” Another group, less thoughtful, will be inclined to say, “You passed the neutrality bill, now you keep us out of war.” On those that did support the passage of the bill falls a heavy burden, that of keeping America peaceful through the operation of the law they supported. They must make it work or be proved fail ures, if not, indeed, insincere. To their aid will come that group of unbelievers who are reasonable enough to swallow their unbelief now and to put their shoulders to the wheel in any ef fort they can to keep us at peace. And the little group, the nag gers who are never reasonable but who make lots of noise, will make little difference. They should try to help make it work, but thanks to the queer makeup of most of our American people, they will secretly hope it will not work, to prove what fools its supporters were. Thankfully, we have only a few of these. LET’S FORGET POLITICS Let’s forget politics in this thing. The most important thing for Am- erica is to keep out of war. Repub- lican, Anti-New Dealer, or New Dealer, whoever you are in Amer- ica, you will lose in a war. Let’s ALL keep out in this. Let’s not use the war in an effort to rush somebody into office. Those who are opposed to Fran- klin D. Roosevelt for a third term may be tempted to hope that his handling of the war situation will fail, so that he may be defeated for the third-term nomination he desires. Those who support Mr. Roose- velt may be foolish enough to hope some turn of the war situation will make it impossible for us to to change from Mr. Roosevelt. Both sides are very, very fool- ish. The war has nothing to do with it, America is bigger than Mr. Ro- osevelt or any of his opopnents or any of his hand-picked successors- in-office. If the time is now that America is so weak that she can’t do without any one man, then, pray for God to help America. If we are dependent on any one man, ANY ONE human being, if we are a nation of nincompoops that have only one big man at a time, let’s make that big man King, Emperor or Dictator and frankly admit we can’t govern our- selves. But that time is not here. We ought to nominate Mr. Roosevelt for a third term or not, and elect him or take his hand-picked can- didate or not, on the wisdom of the move. And I believe America will do that. At any rate, whatever it does, the majority will muddle along and probably will save the nation. So let it be. PROPAGANDA IS HERE Already we are beset with pro paganda. We are told of the mil lions of dollars and billions of dol- lars that warring nations are spen- ding in America, following embar- go repeal. But don’t rejoice in profits be- fore you get them That neutrality bill is costing us billions of dollars. We are tying up at dock,--if we really remain neutral-millions of dollars worth of shipping bottoms. We are placing 5 to 6 thousand sailors out of work. Overhead will cost us millions of dollars annually, to keep those ships docked. So that the millions of dollars a year direct cost to America in a- bandoning the seas must be offset with that much of war profits be- fore there is any profit at all. Don’t expect anything of a war boom. Men who are better inform ed than this! writer tell you daily you can’t win in a war even from the neutral side. And common sense confirms their view. CASH AND CARRY Well, we have the cash-and-carry now. And we do hope it will keep us out of war. Because look what we have traded off for it. We have traded off for that mis named neutrality bill the right to sail the seas. We have traded off the right that sent “John Paul Jones into the very chops of the English channel" where he "beard- ed the Lion in his den, and woke the echoes of old Albion’s bills by the thunder of his cannon and the shouts of his triumph." We have traded off the right for which we fought the War of 1812, the right of Americans to sail the seas anywhere on this globe. We have given that right away. We ought to get peace in exchange. If we do get peace, perhaps it will not be too high a price to pay. If we get war, on top of trading our birthright, then we will be a Milquetoast nation indeed. LET’S BE NEUTRAL We had an arms embargo. It was adopted in 1935. It’s purpose was to prevent Mussolini from buying arms. He was the aggress- or in Ethiopia. It’s purpose was to keep Hitler from buying arms to help revolt ing Spain, the Spain that Musso lini and Hitler were supporting. We guessed wrong and our side lost. We adopted the embargo, an Un-American law, to save a politi- cal battle in Europe and a poli tical trend, and we lost. We might as well have saved our paper on which we wrote the law. Now we have spent millions of dollars getting that law repeal- ed. We have kept Congress in ses- sion for a long time, and we have cost ourselves the income from the freedom of our sailors to sail the seas. Ok, so what? Well, we repealed the law to keep Hitler from buying arms. We had passed the law to keep him and Mussolini from buying arms, so now we repeal it for the same reason that we passed it. We know that Hitler can’t take from America, on the cash-and- carry basis as much as England and France can take. So we pass a cash-and-carry law and repeal the embargo on arms, to help France and England—and call that neutral. PAVED TWO ROADS It wasn’t neutral, but let it pass. We have done it, make the best of it. We haven’t acted neutral, but we can still BE neutral. Best way to do that is to AD MINISTER it in a neutral manner, even if we did PASS it as hypo- crits seeking to help one side. We can really BE sincere by in viting the nations of the world to come and get out goods on an e- qual basis. We can exact cash alike from London and Paris, and Berlin. If we let London and Paris have credits, and exact cash from Ber- lin, that won’t be neutrality. That’s trickery. That is the quickest way to get us into the war. So that after all, it seems not to matter so much what kind of law we have. It is our attitude. If we are going to be neutral in spi- rit it is high time we began show- ing it. If we are not going to be neutral, it is high time we dived on into the war. We have paved the way for eith er course. WAR AND POLITICS And we don’t want Roosevelt-for- a-third-term "because he kept us out of war." We kept Wilson on that theory. And we found, after we had re- elected him, that he had made blunders before the election that dragged us bag and baggage right into the war after we re-elected him. We want no more of that farce. Mr. Roosevelt has done a good job so far as we know. And we want to keep out of war. Going into war would assure him a third term. His friends might be tempt- ed, as were Wilson’s. The best way to get FDR a third term is to get America into war. The best way to keep America out of war is to assure FDR now that there won’t be any third term. Watch that propaganda.
