Time u. s. Faces Facts
1solationsm Consists in Our Traditional Unwillngness
to Enuncate Policies in Advance

what Great Britain would do In 1914
was one Of the chief contributing
factors to the World War.
Time U. S. Faces Facts.
1t is time that the United States
faced the facts about herself. We
have never been an tsolationist ma
ton. We have been involved in every
world war since the founding OF this
Republic. Our isolationism really
consists first In the traditional un-
willingness to enunciate policies In
advance-not to make them in a
show-down-and secondly, to prevent
this country from becoming world
empire.
We do not want or need colonial
possessions. We do not want. through
colonial possessions. to have the head
aches and responsibilities of empire.
We manage to get on with the Brit
ish Empire. with whom we are about
to sign a trade treaty which will bring
us commercially much nearer to-
gether.
We fear that If the British Empire
should break up, parts of it would
inevitably drift into our orbit, would
look to us, and we do not wish this
added responsibility. So our isola-
tionism really boils down to our being
willing to fight for Britain to keep
responsibilities, which we neither wish
to inherit nor see pass into other
hands
This is, admittedly, quixotic view
Of the case.
Know Mr.. Hull Is Right.
Were We prepared to face for our
selves and to make clear to the world
what we would eventually do or not
do, We would be in powerful posi-
tion to secure adherence to a real
program of world appeasement along
the lines laid down by Premier Van
Iceland Of Belgium and by Secretary
Hull. For we know that countries
like Germany cannot exist and be
prosperous without access to raw ma
terials and to markets on terms more
favorable than they have enjoyed
since the war.
We know now-all except the most
blind reactionaries know-that our
tariff policy after the war was insup-
portable
We know that there are many ways
OF liberal economic collaboration,
which might entail some sacrifice
but which would be thousand times
less costly than another war
We know that Mr. Hull is right
when he asserts that the countries
pursuing an autarchial policy-the
so-called hermit states'-are f1out-
ing basic international relationships.
But We cannot bring pressure to
bear because We are unwilling to face
the eventual reality, and tell ourselves
and the world the truth

by persuasion to all the nations whose
acceptance is necessary.
It is notable that even those who
fight most valiantly to tie us by laws
in order to keep this country out Of
any conceivable war have no real con-
viction that If world war comes their
hopes will be realized. Ask the sin
cerest pacif1st leaders Of this country

means the complete stopping of our

sions upon employment, and if Eng
land, which has not been invaded for
a thousand years, Is bombed by a
fascist nation from the air. causing the
deaths Of large numbers Of women and
children, this country will stay out of
the f1ght?" I have asked that ques-
ton during the last few weeks of my
most sincere paciflst friends. including
those who are vigorously supporting
the Ludlow resolution, and they in
variably answer: NO: regret 1t. but
1t would be impossible to restrain the
war fever"
Worst Possible Policy.
II they are right, and I think they
are, then it would seem that the
worst possible policy the United States
could follow would be to talk isolation
while arming: to contribute to delud-
ing the world that We may not act,
when we will; to operate under a
neutrality act, which by its cash-and-
carry clause can actually be made
into a form of trade alliance with
Britain and France at the outbreak
OF any hostilities involving them; to
make, as we have recently done,
naval demonstration with the British
in the Far East and at the same time
tell our own people that we are not
doing so: to pretend that our in
creased Navy is exclusively for the de-
tense Of our own shores when 1t GER
tainly Is not: to conduct unofficial
and unbinding conversations with the
British which nevertheless are indica-
tive OF where our sympathies lie, while
at the same time we create doubts in
the minds Of our own people and the
rest Of the world as to whether they
really do lie there.
The British and the French are
convinced that If they become in
volved in a world war We shall be in
that war on their side. They are
convinced that our commercial in
terests, our theological biases, our
national aims and our historic SYM
pathies will bring us into war if
the two countries are threatened with
defeat.
Our own State Department be-
lieves this. The President of the
United States believes it, Gov. Landon
believes it and even the pacifists
believe it.
The only people who may, regret
tably not believe it are the people
with whom we may eventually fight.
For If they believed it. it is very
probable that We would never have
to fight at ALL for it is inconceivable
that any group Of nations would take
on Great Britain and her satellites,
the United States and France, if
they were perfectly certain in ad-
vance that is what they would be
doing.
