ISOLATION

The doctrine of isolation is
being preached by politicians,
but not by statesmen. They
miSinterpret and give a wrong
construction to the utterances
of Mr.. Washington, in which
he advised that America IN her
inception avoid entangling her
self with foreign alliances.
The reason Washington gave
that advice was that America
was coming out of England,
breaking away from the mother
country, and could not afford
to be involved in European al
llanceS with other countries and
thus incur more of the mothers
prejudice and anger.
1t is absurd to preach such q
doctrine today. We are the
superior power in the world.
We are in the world. We are q
part Of the world. And we
must pay our obligations, dis
charge our duties, and take our
place by the side of the other
members that make up the great
world governments.
For us to be Pharisaical and to
20 by on the other side is to re-
"elve the contempt of the world.
The world is pleading, the world
is hungry, the world needs us.
America is responsible for the
worlds condition, which has
been produced during the last
two or three years. Had Amer
'ca taken her place at the table
Of the League of Nations, and
cast the deciding vote, there
would have been as a result.
rehabilitation Of the worlds
finances. Peace, progress, and
prosperity would exist today in
