After the House vote on neutrality,
Hitler is left in no doubt about the
United States, either. He has been

himself against future embodiment

Hitler and Mussolini, once masters
OF Europe. would resist the tempta-

too? Is 1t reasonable to suppose that
Japan would shrink from the op-
portunity OF squaring accounts with
the one power now capable Of chal-
lenging the new order in Asia?"
All this, in the writer's judgment,
sums up to the belief that it would
be wiser and cheaper for us to help

Hitler, Mussolini and Japan now,
rather than to venture that costly
task later on, single handed and

In many respects Mr.. Hull is one

His course of action throughout the
