FDR's Neutrality Program
This Nations Safeguard

England and France might be able to
conquer Germany without the neces-
sity of our actual entry into the war.
"Of course, no one knows what the
future may hold. We may be drawn
into the war despite anything and
everything we do. l do feel, however,
that unless England and France can
stamp out Hitlerism within a few
years, without our actual manpower,
then our entry later on is inevitable.
"On the other side of the question
is the very legitimate argument that
open sales of munitions to England
and France may intensity Germany's
submarine warfare on shipping, cause
the sinking of more British AMI
French vessels and the murder of
more Americans on these vessels, and
thus draw us into the war even earl
Ter than we might be otherwise in
volved.
81 have a firm conviction that
Americans should stay off the high
seas during this war except on the
most urgent national business. Furth-
ermore, if even hundreds and
thousands of Americans lost their
lives in sinking ships which fly the
British and French flags, that should
be no cause for us to go to war.
When they embark, these Americans
assume the risk of death, and their
deaths should not endanger the en-
tire United States"

The Latin Americas have bottom

America isn't field for its invest

In the meantime, though, the
Latins have to buy their manufac-

World War they bought most of it
from Europe-notably from England

Sanford, Sept. 16.-"The cash and
carry neutrality program OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt is the most valuable
safeguard the United States can take
to stay out of the European war, in
my opinion" DR.. Ralph W. McDOn-
aid, associate director of the Univer-
sity of North Carolina Extension
Division, said in an address here Fri
day night at the Sanford Tobacco
Festival.
ut seems entirely reasonable to be-
lieve that England and France can
not conquer Germany within any
short period of time, unless the full
resources Of United States industry
are placed at their disposal" DR.. Nc
Donald said. ''This nation is poten-
TALLY the worlds largest producer of
airplanes, tanks, and all the imple-
mentS of warfare.
eff our factories are not permitted
to sell and ship their products to the
warning nations, then the allies will
be unable, with the drain on their
manpOwer for actual fighting, to
build up their own factory produc-
ton of the means of warfare far
ahead of that of Germany"
1t must be remembered, he said,
that Germany has been organized on
war basis for long time, and that
her capacity for producing the in
struments Of war is amazing.
The cash and carry policy, he adj
ded, would theoretically permit
Germany herself to buy American
munitions, but in practice the Ameri-
can supply will be closed to Germany
by the blockade of her ports.
"The practical effect of the Presi-
dents neutrality policy, it seems to
me, would be that our industrial re-
sources would be thrown into the
war on the side of the allies. The adj
vantages would be twofold: business
would boom Though the actual eco
nomic gain would be an illusiCe) and,
