Public Sentiment Grows Insistent
To Keep Out of European MIDDLE
Unmistakable Change Is Going on Throughout the
Country; People Make Known Their Feelings and
Their Thought Is Refle cted in Congress-
By WILLIAM BRUCKARr
WNU Service. National Press Bldx w..h,r.+o, M

WASHINGTON. - While the
Roosevelt administration continues
70 subordinate everything to the
seneral subject Of the European war,
there has been an unmistakable
change in sentiment going on thru
out the country and in the capital
city. It IS unacceptable to the merest
tro Of an observer. It represents
! rystalization Of that foggy thing
called public sentiment. ~
The senate has debated the issue
Of repeal of the arms embargo to the
fullest, but the debate has fallen
short Of telling the whole truth.
There was an entire lack of any
truly great speeches. Much addi-
tional light has been thrown on the
whole question Of a neutrality poll
q, yes; but I believe the senate
failed to do the job In a way that
history will measure as statesman
Ike The amazing fact is, therefore,
that public sentiment should have
solidified 50 definitely in such q
short time, with a verdict that SAYS:
We will stay out of that European
mess; 1t IS not ours, and we will not
play their game" ... ...-.s.-
It is always difficult to describe
what takes place in the matter of
public sentiment, powerful as it is
n the United States But it is easy
to describe the condition, the status,
Of national thought as represented
BY an overwhelming majority of the

johnson Reported Seeking
Job Of Secretary Of War

1t is no longer a secret In Wash
1ngton that Mr.. johnson has been
trying for months to get the job of
secretary Of war. He and Mr.. Wood
ring do not get along, and have not
Tor much Of the time the assistant
secretary has been on the Job. The
result has been continual friction. q
handicapping Of department policies
and q general fear among army Of
Ulcers. They are afraid they will
get tangled up in departmental poll
tics and every officer knows II he
guesses wrong, the chances Of get
ting top flight assignments are nil.
AS can readily be seen, such q sit
uation In a policy-making agency of
government certainly does the ma
ton no good. It Is said that Presi-
dent Roosevelt sees Assistant Sec
rotary johnson more frequently
than he confers with Mr.. Woodring,
the head Of the department. Wheth.
er that Is true or not, it Is q fact
that the President has done nothing
at all to settle the long-standin2
row.
Getting back to the senate debate.
attention ought to be turned mo-
mentarily to the defeat Of the mo-
ton to separate the arms embargo
question from that involved In the
cash and carry" sections Of the
bill. Senator Tobey, New Hamp-
shire Republican, proposed that the
bill be split UP. because there was
virtually an unanimous vote In
prospect for q law that would let
American business sell ordinary
supplies to both sides Of the Euro
pean struggle. provided the buyers
came here in their own ships, paid
cash for their purchases and hauled
them away In their own vessels.
Short shrift was made Of that mo-
ton. It was licked by more than
two to one. The reason: II the
cash and carry" section were dis
posed Of, there would be So much
less interest in the arms embargo |
repeal that its eventual defeat would
be entirely possible.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1939-10-26

said that IF the United States were
not fully prepared for war, It would
be overrun like Poland" OF that re-
mark, Senator Clark had this to say
during the arms embargo debate in
the senate:
In my judgment, no more idiotic
moronic or unpatriotic remark ever
has been made by q man in high
public office
This is the same Louis johnson
who has been flying around the
country In an army airplane for the
last several years, preaching the in
evitability Of war and the certainty
OF our being drawn in and drawing
horrific pictures with brisly prophe-
aes OF our shores being invaded and
our own land being laid waste"
But after Senator Clark had
streamlined the assistant secretary
OF war, he proceeded to fall off into
the deepest water of demagoguery
by attacking President Roosevelt,s
selection OF members Of the war
resources board. To make that ca
gle scream in It's shrillest notes,
Senator Clark described It as q
'Morgan-duPont board" which, to
anyone who knows the facts. Is a
rather silly statement.
With respect to the attack on Mr..
johnson, I only wish that Senator
Clark had gone ahead with disclose
ures so that the long-continued row
IN the war department could have
had an airing.
