Piffman Assertions.
What Does He Mean7 4,
Not Clear Thinking.

Senator Key Pittman. who is
chairman of the senate foreign re-
lations committee, has made some
of the most sweeping assertions
ever presented by AN allegedly re-
sponsibie individual in the govern
ment. They are worth dissecting
to see how much sense and how
much nonsense he eNpounded over
radio chain.
we will not enter any entan-
Cling alliances" he declares. I'VE
will not aid government whose
policy is based upon conquest and
military domination. We will not
refuse the repressed governments
any aid that we may legally give
them. short of war"
The senator contradicts himself
To enunciate policy of aiding one
group of foreign nations at the ex-
pense of another group of foreign
nations, is entry into an alliance as
entangling ms If we signed treaty
to go TO war II the nation with
whom we signed WAS attacked. To
declare otherwise is arrant sophis-
try.
He declares we will not aid gov
eminent whose policy is based upon
conquest and military domination.
How then does MIR Pittman inn
agine Great Britain established the
British Empire Love and kisses ?
How does Mr.. Pittman imagine the
French established the worlds sec
ond largest empire? BY loving en-
braces on both cheeks His state
ment is absurd upon its face and
