Concluding that section of his ad-
dress, Senator Borah said: "The
fight against nationalism has lost. 1t
was bound to lose. 1t was a fight
against the strongest and noblest pas
sion outside of those which spring
from mans relation to his God, that
moves or controls the impulses of the
human heart. Internationalism, if it
means anything more than the coop
Grafton between separate, distinct and
wholly Independent nations rests up
on a false foundation x Nation
alisnl-pride and love of country
is passion peculiar to no people, in
dispensable to the welfare of all. To
undertake its destruction is madness.
\ 'tionalism does not necessar-
lily of itself mean militarism or war,
as shown by our history. But any
thing is preferable to the fetid atmos-
phere of national decay. National
decay begins where nationalism
ends" Here is a sermon on isolation
and nationalism worthy of the study
of every American.

In view of the fact that Norman
Davis, as vice-president of the
neil, presided at the dinner, it is
esting to note that Senator b.
id his respects to what he called
range figure" in international
known as the unofficial OBJ
RI" whom he characterized as
kind Of international spy going
out over the continents listening to
Their peoples business. | say other
peoples business because if it had
been our business we should have been
there in the person of a duly APP
pointed and authorized agent of the
government assuming full response
bilty with all participants. This prac-
tice brought discredit to our govern
ment, impeached before the world our
sincerity, and had tendency at least
to degrade the revered policy of
Washington to the level of the discre-
ton of an international interloper."
The speaker reminded his hearers
that the world was not changed by
the World War, that Europe and the
Orient are still the same, heavily
armed and prepared for trouble. The
outside world cannot reach the ,e age
old European problems, he confined,
and to attempt to do so would ignite
the powder mine"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1934-01-25

Senator Borah then refuted the
charge that America follows path
of isolation. We have not been isola-
tionists in trade and commerce, and
unfortunately not in international fl
nance, he declared, and neither have
we isolated ourselves and refused our
aid in time of earthquake, or flood,
or famine, anywhere in the world of
human suffering. But" he contin-
ued, Sin all matters political, in all
commitments of every nature or kind
which encroach in the slightest upon
the free and unembarrassed action of
our people, or which circumscribe
their discretion and judgment we have
been free, we have been isolationists.
And this, trust, we shall ever be. If
there be any truth established by the
experience of nations, it is this: that
to accommodate your foreign policies
to the demands or in the interest of
other nations at the peril Of your
own security, is to invite contempt,
and it seldom fails to earn a more
substantial punishment"

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
By FRANK P. LITSCHERT

A real note of nationalism was
sounded recently by Senator William
E. Borah in an address in New York
City, when he spoke as a guest of
honor of the Council of Foreign Rela-
tons at a dinner given in the Ritz
Carlton Hotel. The address revealed
Senator Borah at his best, and peru
sal of its high spots reminds one of
the great debate in the United States
Senate against the ratification Of the
League of Nations Pact, a fight in
which subsequent event has proved
the so-called glitter enders," one hun
dred per cent right.
Speaking on Our Foreign Policy in
a Nationalistic World" Mr.. Borah
declared that our nation could find its
highest service to mankind and world
peace by preserving the ideals and
principles of democracy. "This is
our supreme duty" he added. 81 be-
lieve that the foreign policy of Wash
ington and jefferson and Lincoln will
best enable US to meet and discharge
that duty. = This, it will be said,
is isolation. 1t is not isolation. 1t is
freedom of action. 1t is independence
of judgment. 1t is not isolation; it is
free government-there can be no
such thing as free government if the
people thereof are not free to remain
aloof or to take part in foreign wars.
People who have bartered away or
surrendered their right to remain neu-
trail in war have surrendered their
right to govern"

Toledo Auto
Strikers Vote
To Stay Out
W ant Full Demands;
Reject Offer of 5
Percent Increase

TOLEDO, Feb. ga mass
meeting of 1000 strikers in
auto parts plants here at the
Coliseum last night voted to
continue the strike and reject
the offer of a five per cent wage in
crease. Plants affected are the Logan
Gear Co., Bingham Stamping Co.,
and several departments of the Aut-
lite. Workers in the Dura Co. and
the Moto-Meter Gauge and Equip
ment Co., are expected to walk out
today. The workers a-e demanding
an increase in wages from 40 to IS
md 10 cents an hour.
Reactionary union officials had
workers elected from the Coliseum
last night for distributing leaflets Of
The Auto Workers Union which called
FOR mass picketing at the Aut-lite
Company, and criticized the failure
Of the officials to organize rank and
file committees and mass picketing,
as well as the securing Of relief for
strikers.
Henry Mungie, organizer of the
Unemployed Council, was thrown
cut Of the meeting when he pre-
sented the chairman a message of
1olidarity and support to the strike
from unemployed workers.
Thomas Ramsay, business agent of
the Autonotive Workers Federal En-
ployees Union, leading the strike
showed his inexperience and poor
leadership at the meeting, and strik-
ers were disguised. Today the strike
failed to spread. The Regional
MIRA. Labor Board is insisting on
settlement, and the newspapers are
demanding arbitration. The Spicer
plant, manu- acturers of universal
joints, where the workers are out on
1trike, made bluff at re-opening.
The Auto Workers Union is calling
on the strikers to organize for mass
picketing, and to establish united
front of all workers, regardless of
union afdliation, in order to win the
strike.
