REASONS WHY UNITED STATES
SHOULD REMAIN NEUTRAL
IN CASE OF WAR

Waterbury, Conn.
July q, 1895.
Editor, The Democrat:
The United States, in relative
ly short period of years as COM
pared to the average span of life
in history of nations, has become
one of the Worlds great powers.
The United States has not yet
reached the zenith of her great
ness and whether or not this is
accomplished depends on her
avoidance of foreign entangle-
ments.
What made the United. States
great nation in so short a space
of time was the welding of so
many nationalities from all the
nations of the Globe-plus form
of government which allowed pro-
per recognition to all in the de-
velopment of the natural resources
within her borders. The only ex-
ception has been in the case of
Asiatics who, perhaps, could not
be absorbed into our social and
economic life without conflict.
This is resented particularly by
tt ) Japanese, and the future out
come must be left to history.
The United States has not yet
grown old enough, to absorb, or
should l say, to completely Amer
icanize all the nationals within
her borders. Therein lies the pos
sibility of danger toward her flu

population raises numerous com
plexities that must be handled with
the greatest of skill in maintain
ing neutrality.
The 1880 census figures estimate
that ;le United States harbors A.
IA million Jews out of World
population of approximately is
million Jews. IS 1-2 million Ro-
man Catholics out of a World pop
ulation of approximately $50 mil
lion and, perhaps, IA million Or
thodox Catholics out of a World
population of approximately 14f
million Orthodox Catholics
Also the following nationalities
are Represented In these United
States-including foreign born
and their descendants.
A 1-2 million Italians, Foreign
born and descendants.
Z million Germans, Foreign
born and descendants.
million Irish, Foreign born
and descendants.
Q IA million Russians. For
eign born and descendants.
3 IL million Poles, Foreign
born and descendants.
3 million Scandinavians, For
eign born and descen-
dants.
1 1-2 million Austro- Hungar-
ians, Foreign born and de-
scendants.
3 1-2 million Canadians and
Canadian French, Foreign
born and descendants.

ID million French, 1-2 mil
lion Dutch, 1-2 million Lithu-
anians, 375 thousand Swiss,
500 thousand Greeks, and
numerous other nationalities
of 1-2 million or less.
When one considers the above
statistics and combines them with
the problems of Germany under
Hitler-Italy under Mussolini-the
Catholic problem in Mexico-the
Communistic experiment in Rus
STA; the fears, the hates, and COM
plexities Of the peoples of the
World, it can be readily seen why
the United States is fertile ground
for propaganda by the various
agents Of foreign governments
seeking our sympathetic, financial,
and physical support. They are
continually trying to maneuver or
inveigle us out of position.
All of us are guilty of prejudice,
conscious or otherwise, because OF
blood, religion, nationality, or 9TH
er causes. The thing for us, to do
as Americans is to mind our own
business. The lessons of the World
War should remind us that we
have everything to lose and moth
ing to gain by butting into. the
problems of other nations.
War, perhaps, can never be- out
lawed permanently, but 1t can, be
made less likely by our not lend
ing men, money, or material TO
help carry it on. Those who by
reason of blood ties are anxious
over the situation in their mother
country or the country of their
forbears have the right to rejoin
their blood relations and lend aid
in whatever capacity they desire.
But under no circumstances have
they the right to force or coercc
the United states into strained re-
lations.

Selected Poem
SOUNDS LOVE


(Herbert Bluen in the Christian Science Monitor)
Give me the sound of singing streams
That wind through woods with spring made bright
Give me the fra yet passionate themes
OF brd-songs quivering with delight.
Give the thunder of the sea,
Whose breakers, fashioned by the gale
Run shoreward and break splendidly
In foams that leave quicksilvery trail
Give me the chattering sound of rain
That tells fragrant tale of flowers,
It's rhythms will not be in vain
To me, whose music comes in showers.
Yet best of all. love voice,
The muses. voice, thatw hspers words
Whose beauty makes my heart rejoice
And sing more riotously than birds.

wife, but you can't do it at your child. AT
least that's the inference drawn from

Dear Editor:
Big Shot Pape and his staff OF
editorial writer's have used plenty
of printers ink trying to prove to
the majority of voters that the
electing of the present Office hold
ers was an unfortunate accident,
when as matter. of fact they. were
elected by a big majority, which is
really something to boast about.
But the administration IL not
wasting its time Boosting, for 1t Is a
tough job running the affairs of a
city in these trying times and the
administration has done many
things for the citizens Of our city
and will continue to serve them to
the best of their ability.
The disgruntled party workers
who have formed clique Of their
own, will do their utmost to spread
discomfort among the administra-
tons friends, but I am sure they
will be unsuccessful IL the rumors
are judged on the merits.
Big Shot Pape might as well
learn now that If the citizens real
ly cared for his dictatorial attitude.
they would have elected him and
his party long ago, but they have
MT, and won't, as they perhaps
realize he has one thought for the
welfare of the people against nine
for himself.
If Mr.. Pape knows of any, real
way the administration can im-
prove conditions in the city depart
ments. it's his duty as a citizen to
mention them. So far his mutter-
ings have amounted to petty griev-
ances and no one is interested In
such procedure.
The writer is not, nor has ever
been on the city payroll or q paid
writer. He has. faith in the present
administration and can be depend
ed upon to be it's friend as long as
it conducts the city's affairs in the
efficient manner 1t is now doing.
As Ever,
FAIR MINDED CITIZEN.
