those who in these perilous DAYS,
are willing recklessly to imply
that our boys are already on
their way to the transports.
This Affirmative search for
peace calls for clear vision. n
is necessary to mobilize resources,
minds and skills, and every active
force for peace in the world.
We have steadily sought 70
keep modified the greatest force
of all-reigious faith, devotion
to God.
Your Government Ia working
at all times with Representatives
Of the Catholic, Protestant and
Jewish faiths. Without these
spiritual forces we cannot make
or maintain peace, and al three
of them work with ~ toward
that great end.
Shadows, however, ars seM
heavy over the faith and hogs
OF humankind.
We-who walk In the vAyJ d
peace and freedom and light
have seen the tragedies enacted
In one free land after another.
We have not been blind TO the
causes, or to the consequences,
Of these tragedies.
We guard ourselves against all
evils-spiritual as well as ma
terial-which may beset us. We
guard against the forces Of anti
Christian aggression, which may
attack us from without, and the
forces of ignorance and fear
which may corrupt us from with
in.
We shall continue TO go for
ward in firm faith. We shall con-
tinue to 20 forward in peace.

Overton amendment on August
90, 1910, 8 to 6.
Charges Republicans Put
Money Rights Over Lives.
The bill was adopted all right
by Democratic votes. But the
opposing vote of those 8 Repub-
ican leaders showed what would
happen if the national Govern
ment were turned over to their
control. Their vote said, in effect,
that they put money rights ahead
of human lives-to say nothing
OF national security.
You and I, and the over
whelming majority of Americans,
will never stand for that.
Outside the halls of Congress
eminent Republican candidates
began to turn new somersaults.
At first they denounced the bill.
Then when public opinion rose
up to demand it, they seized their
trrapeze with the greatest of ease,
and reversed themselves in mid
air.
This record of Republican lead
erShip-a record of timidity,
weakness and shortsightedness-
is as bad in international as in
military affairs.
1t is the same record of timid-
ity, weakness and shortSighted-
ness which they showed in do
nestle affairs when they were in
control before 1888
But the Republican leaders
memories seem TO have been
short, in this, as in other matters.
And by the Way-who was 1t said
that an elephant never forgets?
This is the same record of
timidity, weakness and short
sightedness which covered the
policy of the confused, reaction
airy governments in France and
England before the war.
Peace Called Main Concern
OF Roosevelt Administration.
That fact was discovered too
late in France.
1t was discovered just in time
in Great Britain.
Pray God that, having discov-
cred it over there, we won't for
get it either.
For eight years our main con-
Germ has been to look for peace
and the preservation of peace.
In 1895, in the face of growing
dangers throughout the world,
your Government undertook TO
eliminate the hazards which in
the past had led to war.
BY the Neutrality Act of 1885,
and by other steps:
We made it possible to prohibit
American citizen from travelling
on vessels belonging to countries
at war. Was that right?
We made it clear that Ameri-
can investors who put their
money into enterprises in foreign
nations could not call on Ameri-
can warships or soldiers to bail
out their investments. Was that
right?
We made it clear that we would
not use American armed forces
to intervene in affairs of the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-10-29

that they rushed In to pass that
bill, or that they even demanded
larger expansion of the Navy.
But, all! my friends, they were
not IN a national campaign for
votes then.
In those days, they were trying
to build up a different kind of
political fence.
Likcns G. o. P. Radio Orators
To Man on Flying Trapeze.
In those days, they thought
that the way to win votes was by
representing this administration
as extravagant in national de-
tense. indeed as hysterical and
as manufacturing panics and in
venting foreign dangers.
But now, in the serious days of
1910, all is changed! Not only
because they are serious days; but
because they are election days as
well.
On the radio these Republican
orators swing through the air
with the greatest of ease: but the
American people are not voting
this year for the best trapeze
performer.
The plain fact is that when the
Naval expansion bill was SUBJ
mitted to the Congress the Re-
publican leaders jumped in to
fight it.
Who were they? There was
the present Republican candidate
for Vice President, Senator Nc
Nary. There were Senator VAN
denberg and Senator Nye. There
was the man who would be the
Chairman Of the House Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs, Congress-
man Fish.
The first thing they did was to
try to eliminate the battleships
from the bill. The Republicans
in the House voted 81 to 20
against building them; and in
the Senate the Republicans voted
I to 4 against building them.
Republicans Voting Record
On Other Defense Bills Cited.
The record is certainly clear
that back in 1888 the Republican
leaders were positive that we
needed no more battleShips. The
Naval expansion bill was passed;
but it was passed by Democratic
votes in the Congress-in spite of
Republican opposition.
Again, in March, 1899. the Re-
publican Senators voted II to
against the bill for sl02.00O,000
to buy certain strategic defense
materials which we did not have
in the United States.
In March, 1899, the Repub-
licans in the Senate voted II
TO against increasing the au-
thorized number of planes in the
Navy.
In June, 1899, Republicans in
the House voted IA to 8 in favor
of reducing appropriations for
the Army Air Corps.
Now that proves this one sim
pie fact. 1t proves that if the
Republican leaders had been in
control in 1888 and 1899, these
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-10-29

sovereign republics to the south
Of us. Was that right?
We made 1t clear that ships
flying the American flag could
not carry munitions to bel
ligerent; and that they must stay
out of war zones. Was that
right?
In all these ways, we made 1t
clear to every American, and to
every foreign nation, that We
would avoid becoming entangled
through some episode beyond our
borders.
Remembers Being Called
Alarmist and Worse Names.
These were measures to keep
us at peace. And through all the
years of war since 1885, there has
been no ENHANCEMENT, and there
will be no ENHANCEMENT.
In July, 1887, Japan invaded
China.
On January 3, 1888, I called the
vi llIC NAHUM " IllC
danger of the whole world situa-
ton
1t was clear that rearmament
was now a necessary implement
of peace. I asked for large addi-
tons to American defenses. I
was called an alarmist II and
worse names than that.
In March, 1898, German troops
marched into Vienna.
In September, 1888, came the
Munich crisis. German, French
and Czech armies were modified.
The result was only an abortive
armistice.
I said then: at is becoming
increasingly clear that peace by
fear has no higher nor more en-

during quality than peace by the
sword"
Three months later, at Lima,
the 81 American republics SOL
EMMY agreed to stand together TO
defend the independence Of each
one of us.
The declaration at Lima was q
great step toward peace. For
unless the hemisphere is safe, we
are not safe.
Matters grew steadily worse in
In Europe. Czecho-Slovakia was
overrun by the NaZis. General
war seemed inevitable
Yet even then the Republican
leaders kept chanting, There
will be no war"
Americas Set Up System
To Patrol Entire Hemisphere.
A few months later-on Sep
TENDER /, 1939-war came.
The steps which we had care
fully planned were put into effect.
American ships were kept from
danger zones.
American citizens were helped
to come home.
Unlike 1914, there was no
financial upheaval.
The American republics set up
at Panama a system of patrolling
the waters of the whole Western
Hemisphere.
I ask you to support continue
ance of this type of affirmative,
realistic fight for peace. The al
tentative is to risk the future of
the country in the hands of those
with this record of timidity,
weakness and shortsightedness
or in the inexperienced hands of
