Boldest Propaganda NotO
Is Flooding the Country

In the meantime and as the fight
ing progresses in Europe, we in
America are being flooded with the
boldest and the baldest propaganda
that can be conceived. From Ber-
lin and other points under Hitler
domination, we are being fed so
called news that is as putrid as
politics used to be under Fender
CAST in Kansas City or Penrose in
Pennsylvania. It is amazing that
any one believes it.
From British and French sources,
and from their sympathizers in
this country, comes news that is
censored and controlled and in
spired. It tells only the things that
the French and the British would
have us believe. We know just as
little about the real underlying facts
Of the controversy from them as we
do from the Germans. It is well to
remember that we never have
known what kind of an agreement
was reached at the Munich confer
ence in September of last year. We
have absolutely no knowledge Of
what kind of sellout was arranged
between Hitler and Stain. Nor do
we know what has happened in
solar as Mussolini is concerned.
More important than any of these
things, however, are conditions
within the United States. would
like to see our congress use some
brains and take action that will get
us out of the depths of a nine-year
depression. It is quite evident that
all of the theories that have been
tried still remain theories. I am
among those who fear that entry
into another world war will mark
the end of our form of govern
ment here unless our home condi-
tons are far better than at present.
1t seems to me to be more impor-
tant to solve our troubles rather
than those of Europe.

WASHINGTON. ~ With congress
reassembled in special session for
discussion of, and action on, Presi-
dent Roosevelt's request for modi-
ficatior Of our so-called neutrality
policy, the time appears to have
come when citizens Of the United
States must examine the facts OF the
international situation. Whether we
like it, or not, we can hardly ignore
those facts any longer. 1t is Eu-
ropes mess, but that mess is hav-
ing an influence here and will have
more influence on our national view
point. A decision must be taken,
soon. It may thus be that the pres
ent extraordinary session OF con-
gress will turn out to be an his
toric meeting.
Mr.. Roosevelt has requested re-
peal Of the section Of the present
law that prohibits export OF arms,
airplanes and some other imple-
ments of war to all nations engaged
in declared hostilities. 1t will be
remembered that he made the same
request in the last session, but the
senate committee on foreign rela-
lions said, by its action few days
before adjournment, that it would
have none of the plan. Conditions
have changed since that time, how
ever and the President is now in
sisting upon repeal of the contro-
.versial section and the substitution;
in its place he is asking for legis-
lation that will permit any and all
foreigners to come here and buy the
embargoed war munitions If they
pay cash for them and take them
away in their own ships.
That, succinctly, is the crux of
the modification which Mr.. Roose-
welt seeks. He has plenty of support
for his theory. And there is plenty
Of opposition, too. Some of the iso-
lationists-men who fought Woodrow
Wilson and his League Of Nations
plan-men like Senator Borah Of
Idaho and Senator Johnson of Cali
fornia-are still in the senate. Their
numbers have been augmented by
fighters of the type of Senator Ben
nett Clark of Missouri, and Senator
Nye of North Dakota, and Senator
Vandenberg of Michigan. think
the vote will not be taken at once,
in view of the promised discussion.
And it probably is well that there
will be much debate, for the country
will learn more about the two sides
to the question. &

Ocean Patrol Called by
Some a Dangerous Step

There are good many people
who believe that the President has
taken a potentially dangerous step
in ordering what is called an ocean
PATROL while hostilities are on. He
has placed ships of the American
navy as far as 200 miles at sea,
as he explained, that they may OBJ
tain information as to what is going
on out there. The patrol looks like
an invitation to some German u
boat to take shot at one OF our
ships. Of course, they would not do
SO deliberately; they would "mis-
take" a United States ship for one
of the enemy, or that would be their
excuse. And would we be in a
other! There would be cries for
declaration of war that would
rock the dome of the Capitol.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that the patrol
program amounted to a steel warn
ing to the belligerents to stay on
their side of the railroad tracks, or
words to that effect. Those who
dislike the plan say, however, that
we, as a nation, cannot lay claim
to the sea as our very own beyond
minimum distance from tide fall.
To get back to the neutrality pol
icy, as it is called, I have found
many persons who have difficulty in
reconciling Mr.. Roosevelt's present
request of congress with his action
respecting enforcement of the provi-
sions in the three-year-old war Of
the Japanese in China. The law
gives the President discretionary
power in proclaiming its operation,
except that it becomes effective al
most automatically where there has
been declaration of war by for
eign power.

Unseen Factors InUolved
Re Our Present Concern

But while the discussion on the
so-called neutrality question is inn
portant, although the question in my
opinion is simply whether we will
open the gates for the export Of
anything we can sell, I am quite
convinced our concern should be
about the underlying and, at pres
ent, unseen factors now involved. 1t
is said that we are extending pas
sive aid to Hitler by refusing to al
low the British and the French to
come here for thousands of planes
and millions of odds and ends disable
in war. It is said, too, that unless
we extend help to the British and
the French, our nation eventually
must face the onrushing tide of to-
,talitarism and dictatorship. It can
be, and is being, said that unless
the arms embargo is lifted, we will
have to 60 in ourselves sooner than
otherwise would happen.
ALI of these things can be said
and are being said with reference
to both sides of the line of fire in
Europe, but none of the argument
has changed my conclusion which
has been reached after talking with
scores of people who are in a posi-
ton to know the facts abroad. My
conclusion remains, and. is going to
continue to be, that it is Europe's
war. / add to that the further
thought that our energies should be
directed to maintaining peace in
North and South America, south of
the Canadian boundary.
Now, there are those who say
and they are numerous-that repeal
of the arms embargo will result in
revival of business in the United
States, as, indeed, it already has
started. A business revival would
be swell. Nobody doubts that. But
the things like planes and powder
that 60 abroad have to leave our
shores. It strikes me that sale Of
anything, whether planes or powder
or wheat or cotton and corn, is
likely to bring the war much closer
to our shores. It makes me believe
that we would be better off if we
sold nothing at all. That is, why not
modify the policy by placing an
embargo on everything that goes to
the warning nations and let them
fight it out.

Utterly Selfish Motives
Behind the War in Europe

To begin with, there is no moral
issue in this war. No one ought to
let themselves be kidded about that.
The war in Europe right now is a
battle between two groups of people
with utterly selfish motives. Hitler
and his gang have determined to
regain that which the British took
away from the German people in
the World war of 19l4-1918, and the
British and the. French are deter
mined not to let him accomplish it.
