LOOKING AT WASHINGTON
Roosevelt Moves To Avert World War;
Public Opinion Condemns Dictators
President Roosevelt's dramatic appeal
to Hitler and Mussolini caught the world
by surprise. Bluntly, he asked the dicta
tors for a frank statement of policy, in
quiring whether they are willing to give
assurance that their armed forces will
not attack or invade the territory of the
independent nations of Europe. Insisting
that each assurance must apply to a
decade, the president intimated that the
nations might then find relief from the
burden of armaments and prepare to re
sume international trade on a basis which
give all nations an opportunity to “buy
and sell on equal terms in the world
market’’ and to obtain the “materials
and products of peaceful economic life.”
Reaction to the message was about
what one would expect. In Germany and
Italy, where the president was being as
sailed for his attitude toward the dicta
tor states, there was little evidence that
anything would come from the exchange.
In Great Britain and France, the mes
sage was hailed as great statesmanship,
and in the western hemisphere many
nations took occasion to congratulate
the president upon his initiative.
.lust before sending his appeal to Hit
ler and Mussolini, the president spoke
to the Pan-American union, stressing the
solidarity of the continent in its detense
against aggression and pledging his coun
try to give economic support to" gny
American nation which is subjected to
economic pressure. He contrasted condi
tions existing in the New World with
those of the Old World, stressing the
hope that the nations beyond the seas

“will break the bonds of the ideas which
constrain them towards perpetual war
fare.”
At the same time, the United States
made a significant gesture, ordering its
battleships to return to the Pacific ocean.
This necessitated the cancellation of a
naval review at Norfolk and the visit of
the fleet to the New York World’s fair.
Speculation as to the decision was rife,
in the absence of any official explana
tion. Generally, it was taken for grant
ed that the return of the fleet to the
Pacific was intended to meet eventuali
ties in that ocean in the event of a ma
jor conflict in Europe.
It should be understood, we think, by
all readers, that the avowed purpose of
practically every official is to keep th
United States out of war. The methods
by which this can be suecessfullp accom
plished are the subject of conflicting
opinion. However, the isolationist argu
ment. the neutrality discussion and the
president's course are all defended upon
the assumption that the policies advo
cated will prevent the United States
from becoming mixed up in a world war.
Apparently, official Washington is
convinced that if a world war breaks out.
it will be almost impossible to prevent tin
United States from becoming embroiled.
Hence, it is necessary, in the view of of
ficials, that this country take the initia
tive in steps to prevent the outbreak <
such a war. Whether this is a right o
wrong conclusion, it seems to be th
dominant reasoning behind the adminis
tration's procedure. Meanwhile, with lit
tie effective opposition, the president i
lining up the moral and economic
strength of the United States behind th
democratic powers of the world.
Meanwhile, neutrality legislation is be
ing discussed in both branches of con
gress. As the law now stands if wai
breaks out in Europe, there will be an
immediate embargo upon the shipment ot
munitions, including airplanes, and tin
president may put into effect the cash
and-carry provision of the law- in regards
to war supplies other than munitions. In
addition, under the Johnson act. credi.
would be denied to all nations which have
defaulted old loans.
Efforts to amend the neutrality statute
include the proposal of Senator Pittman
to extend the cash and carry system to
all commerce, including munitions, but,
at the same time, preserving the theory
of impartial and equal treatment to al.
belligerents as regards access to the
American market. The amendment offer
ed by Senator Thomas woud jiermit the
United States to open its markets to tht
victim of an aggressor but deny access
to the same sources of supply to aggres
sor nations.
It should be plain to the people of thi
United States that the course being fol
lowed by the president inclines thi
country to the use of all measures "short
01 war” to aid the democratic countries.
He would let the totalitarian states un
derstand that, in the event they forced
war upon oilier nations, the sympath..
ami supiairt of the United States would
go to the victims of their attack.
The president, it is clear, would lend
all poss.ble aid ami comfort to one sid.
v.iih.ut regard to the principle of net
crality that » ould make us trial ail bei
igeients alike.. Mr. Roosevelt, it app als
liom his public utterances, is convinced
that the orderly development of eiv liz
lion dept mis upon the peaceful settlement
of disputes, the use of m litary f irct.
or the threat of its use, to obtain “rt
suits" endangers the present fabric o
civilization and the very existence ot fret
government throughout the world.
It is too early to say what will run
out o' his dramatic appeal to the dicta
tors. It is probably too early to gauge
public opinion in this country. Certainly,
however, it may be said that the people
of the United States are inclined more
and more to the administration policy.
Apparently, they are beginning to believe
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY MAY 4, 1939
OH, FOR THE LIFE OF A
PUBLISHER
The following newspaper item has been
appearing in several publications here
lately, and is so true to the point that
we would like to join the line of users :
If we print jokes, people say we are
silly.
If we don’t, they say we are too se
rious.
If we clip things from other papers,
we are too lazy to write them ourselves.
If w-e don’t, we are stuck on our own
stuff.
If w-e stick to the job all day, we
ought to be out hunting news.
If we get out and try to hustle, we
ought to be on the job in the office
If we don’t print contributions, we do
not appreciate true genius; and if w-e
print them, the paper is filled with ju.ik
If we make a change in the other fel
low’s copy, we are too critical.
If we don’t w-e are asleep.
Now, like as not, some guys w-ill say
w-e swiped this from some other paper.
And we did.

MR. DODD WRITES.
Many writers have their off days, yet
being a steady contributor to the press
they manage to fill up their space with
something often hardly worth reading.
It’s like an idle person not being oc
cupied at something worthwhile; they dis
cuss many things that detract rather
than to edify. A preacher who goes to his
pulpit without preparation but just
imagines he is full of good advice a
all he needs to do is start talking am
the Lord will give the message is ren
dering poor service; yes, no service at
all.
If we are not daily thinking and seek
ing good advice, it’s far better we keep
silent and lips closed.
A word spoken in season —how- sweet
it is. But talking at random will neutra
lize what good impressions you hereto
fori have made.
“Think twice before you speak” is fine
advice. Respectfully.
