Senator Borah, one of the so- called 'isolationists.' who oppos es the repeal of the existing arms embargo law. is outspoken in his views. The proposal for repeal, he says is based on the program of taking sides in the furnish ing of arms, and will amount clearly to intervention. in the present conflict in Europe. The opposing view and a sidewalk poll almost anywhere will show, that it has considerable support among the commonalty, IS to equip those who want to fight, let them go at it hammer and tongs, and get done with it as soon as possible.
 There are other considerations which lend force to the move ment toward repeal, and in fav- or of the cash and carry sys- tenn. It cannot be denied that most persons in the United Stat es do not like MT. Hitler and his philosophy; that they want the allies 10 win; and that they be- lieve that the free peddling of arms at the purchasers risk would do more good to England and France than to Germany. Moreover, if wartime trade is established between Europe and countries other than the United States, that trade will be hard to break up at the close of war.
 .Withal, it is not right to as sllme that those who favor re- peal are willing to immolate the welfare of the land in the inter est of busness. MT. Roosevelt and many who share his views in instance, even though they do not like him politically, believe sincerely, that peace can be ac- complished most quickly, and that the country can most surely be kept out of war, by a change in the existing neutrality regula tions. They may be right.
