The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-06-30

tatorS without the gloomieSt fore bodings. Let us look at the bare facts.
 CD In his speech Sunday at Wuerzburg Hitler shamelessly boast ed that the Nazis back General Franco because they covet the rich mines of Spain. Hitler battles for control of Spain's natural resources so that Fascist Germany can pre- pare more speedily for World War. (2) Mussolini has solemnly pledged Italian military intervention in Spain to the hilt against the dem- ocratic Republic and in behalf of General Franco. MusSolini has writ ten in his personal organ, Popolo d'Italia, that Italy will war to the death against Spanish democracy. The Italian Fascist correspondent for the New York Times said of Musso- lipi,s declaration:
 Translated into plain language, this (Mussolinis article) means that Premier Benito Mussolini will not abandon the fight untl Gen. Fran co has trumphed and that he will send as much material and aid to Spain as is necessary to bring about his ends."
 (3) Roberto Farinacci, member of the Fascist Grand Council, for mer Secretary of the Fascist Party of Italy, has urged Mussolini to ex- tend immediately the war against Spain into 8 war against all dem- ocratic countries! Writing with full permission of the Fascist Censors, F'arinacci demanded: Considering the present military inefficiency of Britain and the internal weakness of France it is undoubtedly better to strike the blow today than in a distant tomorrow which will be more advantageous to our enemy"
 Fascism considers all democratic countries as its enemy!
 And the New York Times cores pondent, Arnaldo Cortesi, added that the highest Fascist officials did not repudiate this boasting war threat!
 So long as Hitler can say, and Mussolini can act upon, the Fascist idea that speeches in parliment will not affect our decisions" the peace of the world is a HOSTAGE of FasciSm.
 Not speeches, then, but action is necessary to stop the undenied war moves against Spain and all dem- ocratic countries. It is flatly up to the U. s. Congress to retort-not with more speeches-but by action. The passage of war materials and arms embargo against Nazl Germany and Fascist Italy will not be met with the ridiculing taunts of the war inciterS.
 The plain and avowed war policy and deeds of the two Fascist Dicta- tors makes it incumbent on President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull to invoke the Kellog Peace Pact. On the clear ground that Hit Ter and Mussolini are now resorting to war as the instrument of their foreign policy it is up to America (to keep tself out of War) to en- force the Kellogg Peace Pact by col laborating with other peace-des1r- ing powers. And above all: The American people have it in their power to answer the taunts and pro- vocative indictment of the Fascist war-mongers by demonstrating that they are ready and able to stop the drive to a new world slaughter. Petitions demanding the immed- fate enforcement of the neutrality law against Nazi Germany and Fas- cist Italy should be circulated. Con- gress should be flooded with ap- peals to enforce an immediate arms and war materials embargo against Italy and Germany. Whatever low opinion Hitler and Mussolini may have of parliamentary speeches, the positive action of the American peo- pie for peace will affect the war de- cisions of the Fascist Dictators!
 War anywhere, means war every where. Keep America out of war by keeping War out of the world.
