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 Relieve the Pain of ARTHRITIS Quickly! Safely!

Georgia. “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.

D. C. 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. C. A. DODD, Menlo, Ga.. April 25.
