WE MUST NOT CRIFT INTO WAR
The United States Most 6Iest by For
une Among the Nations

Meanwhile the question in the pub
lie mind is, Are we drifting into the
European whirlpool?
The answer to that anxious query
ought to be and we trust is most en-
phatically no. We are not drifting
anywhere. The United States is NOV
ing under its own steam. The most
important factor of safety is to retain
control of ourselves. In that way we
shall be able to best master inevitable
events.
There is no war spirit in America.
We were perhaps never less bellicose.
