accused a number Of nations
as being victims Of a contagious

antined."
1t has not been enough, ap-
parently, to be merely President
of the United States. Now he
has gone worldwide.
His now famous Chicago
speech probably was the trial
balloon of fancier and more fan
tastic plans for the rescue Of the
downtrodden Of the world.
Boiled down to its barest es-
sentialS, what Is it that Roose-
welt recommended? Simply this:
Maintenance Of a status quo in
the world today by joint eco
nomic boycott Of all members
of the League of Nations-and
the United States-with Frank
lin Roosevelt producing, like the
beaming conjuror extracting the
rabbit from the tophat, the plan
which will fix the three interna-
tional roughnecks for good and
all.
1T IS not without a grim smile
L Of irony that one notes that
Mr.. Roosevelt's sudden switch in
foreign policy contradicts fatty
the principles Of the domestic
philosophy he has preached in
the United States for five years.
Here he has been shouting at
the rich that they are the ones
responsible for unrest among
the laboring classes in the
United States; that they have
thought more of their dividends
and coupon-clipping than they
have of turning back some Of
that wealth to the ill-housed, ILL.,
clad and ill.fed-and for that
very ason he has saved
Americas capitalistic structure
with New Deal and redistribu-
ton Of wealth. Human rights
must come before property rights
he has cried time and time
again.
In the international field, how.
ever, we find Mr.. Roosevelt in
different guise. In the field Of
world politics he becomes the
ardent champion Of property
rights over human rights. He is
the champion of the rich boys,
the lobbyist in the forum Of
international public opinion for
the "haves against the have
nots."
pLANDLY ignoring the indeli-
~ BILE fact that Japan, Ger.
many and Italy are products Of
our own creation from teachings
Of industrialism, mass produc-
ton and of the World War, with
its insane treaties designed to
perpetuate economic and COM
mercial slavery; blandly ignor-
ing the fact that the United
States conquered Cuba, the
Philippines even once con-
quered California; that Great
Britain conquered one-fourth Of
the world by force Of arms-Mr.
Roosevelt cries with holy fervor:
Shame on you wretches for dis
turbing the rest Of US men who
want to live in peace. quiet and
comfort"
His position is entirely differ.
ent today from that occupied by
woodrow Wilson 20 years ago.
Wilson was elected on q peace
platform, and subsequent overt
acts by Germany forced him to
declare America in the World
War.
But it was only after we were
in, that Wilson received his first
taste Of the power and prestige
Of his post and position. His re-
ception by Paris, as history has
recorded, went to his head. But
even so, his fanatical fervor
could never have been as dan.
gerous as that Of Roosevelt'S.
Mr.. Roosevelt has the full con.
sent Of the American people to
do his best to protect us against
invasion or an act Of war against
the United States. but he has
had neither mandate nor per.
mission nor license to involve or
ieonardiZa the safety ~ millions
