“II ill Ilf United Stales
Enter The M ar'?"
Somewhere in the mind of every American citizen
lurks this grim and disquieting question: “Will the United
States enter the war.”
Ahout every writer and speaker in the country has
been attempting to satisfactorily answer that question for
some time. You can find irresistably logical arguments]
which make our entry into conflict seem inevitable as
death and taxes — and you can find equally logical argu
ments which attempt to prove we are in small danger of
being drawn in. And, as the debate rages on, a good many
Americans who make no pretense to being experts
themselves sinking deeper into confusion.
The standard polls still indicate that the American
people are opposed to war, even as they favor aid to
land with “all steps short of war.” At the same time, the
American people, going by the same polls, are convinced
that if England falls we may be next on Hitler’s list
victims
The arguments that support the theory that we can
not long keep out of war are obvious enough. We have
dropped all pretense of neutrality—we are simply non-bel
ligerents, committed to the hilt on England’s side. We have
damned the dictators in unequivocal terms. The leaders of
both the political parties, the President and Mr. Willkie,
are aggressively pro-British and anti-Nazi. And we are
about to embark on a new policy which will give England
and her allies our utmost moral and material support— a
policy which Hitler, if he is seeking a fight with this coun
trv, could logically construe as a declaration of war
pfVppt ‘
, , . , - , f ,, , ,
not been so well publicized. In a recent issue, the United
States News summed up five principal reasons for believ
ing that this country is not going to war.
First, says the News, the United States can aid Britain
more by not fighting than by fighting. Britain, in other
words, needs supplies, not men. If we entered the war it
would be impossible to send much abroad, as our own
under-supplied military establishments would need all our
factories could produce.
Second, the U. S. can help her own defense more by,
staying out of the The send England he ’
war. arms we mav
lost, but we won’t lose men so long as we remain a non
belligerent. And we will find out if our arms and planes
are adequate for modern war. England, in other words,
will be the proving ground for the products of our
factories.
Third, through the lend-lease policy, the U. S. can
exert its major effort in the war. Actually taking up arms
against the Axis would not permit us to do more.
Fourth, the fact that all-aid-for-England policy ap
parently has the support of a nation which is also com
mitted to maintaining peace, is construed in Administra
tion circles as proof of the fact that its plans and actions
are sound.
Fifth, according to his intimates, the President really
hates war, meant what he said during the campaign, and
will do .everything possible to prevent war. He believes 1
that his policy offers the surest road to peace, and in that
he is backed by large numbers of his political opponents.
All of this does not take into consideration the fact
that the Axis might make war on us, thus plunging us into ,
the conflict whether we want to fight or not. Military and
political experts, for the most part, don’t think that likely
at this time. They point out that Hitler doesn’t make a pa r
ticular point of “saving face.” As he has said himself, he
will not be badgered into taking steps he believes danger
ous. The experts argue that Hitler will not wage war
againgt us until and unless it suits his time-table. And it
is obvious that he has enough troubles on his hands now
without asking for more.
Time, which heals ad wounds and solves all argu
ments, will prove the soundness or weakness of these var
ious contentions. In the meantime, there are many thought
ful observers who feel that we will be in war before the
ends—perhaps within . .. months, Joe T Martin, the j
year six
Republican leader in the House, is said to feel that. All
the people can do now is wait and see.
Airport jFor (orinyion
We believe the citizens of this city and county should
take deep interest in the proposed airport for this city ;
a • j
We believe it will mean much in revenue and prestige to
this city.
Now that the ball has been started to roll let us all put
our shoulders behind it and keep it rolling. There is no
doubt about the future of aviation. It has by far the great
est possibilities and those communities which take advan-!
tage of it in the early stages will realize much from the
interest they take.
We believe a great airport, second only tQ Atlanta,
can be established here. W are much lower than Atlanta
and therefore have a higher ceiling. We are close enough
to Atlanta to allow great liners to land here and it will
take a very few more minutes to transport their passengers
to downtown Atlanta from Covington than it will from
Candler field
A few minute., mean, little when greater .safety can
be assured. If it pro\ed that our airpozt was more easily
accessible in all kinds of weather it may be possible to es
tablish a terminal here.
Covington is ordinarily several degree warmer than
Atlanta and that should also count in our favor. We have
noticed as much as a ten-degree difference in temperature
due to our lower altitude and protection from surrounding
hills. ]
We believe we have something here which will mean
much O OUI* City. B\ pulling together on this project we
can accomplish much. Let’s go. 1
