Republicans Favor True Neutrality

1t is generally understood that Republicans in
the special session of Congress called by President
Roosevelt to today will insist that America
practice not only theoretical, but real neutrality.
Republicans, as party committed to neutrality,
and they will oppose any program intended to fur
ther New Deal detectives of control of commerce
under the guise of emergencies
Russias entry into the war, under which Poland
is being crushed by two large nations has presented
a new problem, and the special session opening to-
day has created excitement in the hearts and minds
of Americans. We must, however, realize that this
war is Europeans problem-they made it, and they
should fight it and end it.
Britain and France have rejected a peace Offer
and the slaughter will continue and will grow on
the western front, and only through true neutrality
can we keep the boat from rocking and eventually
tipping in this country.
Leading Republicans of the nation have pledged
themselves to neutrality and they will fight that
end in this congressional session. However, if Pres
dent Roosevelt accepts that pledge Americas
course, and asks the cooperation of anti-New Deal
senators and congressman, there is why
the United States should not present united front
to the world, and at the same time maintain peace
and neutrality we'll the respect of all nations
Neutrality should not be a political issue
football, but honest effort should be made keep
the United States out of and to protect the
lives of young Americans. May leaders be
imbued with divine guidance necessary today
in the peaceful settlement of mans problems A
war mad world will awake with severe headache
and heartache from which it will not recover as
readily as it has from the last world war; Let us
remain neutral
Our Own Business
Hitler's warning to the United States that
repeal of the neutrality act would be taken step
toward war, brings to mind that Americans have
conducted their country without foreign interference
for many years. The people of the United States
want dictatorship either local foreign, but
they are overwhelmingly in favor of neutrality The
kind of neutrality act we have will have is no
foreigners business, long it functions to keep
neutral What to do is mind our own
business and keep out of war, if possible
