however, become aggressive at the
same time in espousing his idea that
production can be speeded up and

operation between the Government
and industry rather than by coer-
cion. He may play a dramatic part
in helping to line up the Republi-
cans behind the President on the
issue of aid to Britain.
Like Vote of Confidence.
If the Congress votes the big ap-
preparation that will be needed to
help Britain it will be tantamount
to vote of confidence in the cause
of Britain. 1t will mean a repudia-
ton of any concept of neutrality as
hitherto known. and it doubtless
will stimulate the morale of the
British people and have a wide in
f1uence in the Balkans.
The President will enter the de-
bate with this argument: OF what
use is all the equipment for defense
if it is outmoded by new designs and
Evening star., 1940-12-19

new needs? OF what avail is all
the material if it Is inadequate for
our own defense in the event of a
Nazi victory in l941 and yet can
be tremendously helpful now as a
supplement to. Britain's military
strength and thus prevent a Nazi
victory?
Mr.. Roosevelt has from the very
beginning of total war" taken the
position that the defense program
is matter of developing productive
capacity for tanks, airplanes and
ships, and that the British will be
using all these weapons in their
laboratory and thus make possible
the creation of an up-to-date fight
ing mechanism for u.s., 1t is I bold
and daring maneuver. but the Presi-
dent feels that the last campaign
revealed both nominees declaring
for aid to Britain and that 1T is up
to him to decide now how to trans
late that sentiment into practical
and effective aid

the British Isles. Based there, every
single British destroyer and escort
vessel and patrol plane has, an added
value. Irish neutrality takes away
something from every British effort
to counter the deadly German at
tacks on her shipping.
1t is said that the Irish people
have a high regard for American
opinion. Why is it not possible to
make clear to them that the vast
majority Of Americans regard the
upholding Of Britain as q vital
American interest, one in which we
are directly and Immediately con-
cerned? Why cannot we say bluntly
that we are not aiding and arming
Britain because of any hands-across-
the-sea sentiment, but because it
would be a deadly menace to our
security II Germany. victorious on
the continent, were to gain unin1-
peded access to the open Atlantic?
Why cannot we say that we are
determined to prevent such an oc-
currence, If we can, for our own
sake; that Ireland ought to be
equally concerned to prevent it; and
add that II Ireland has any regard
for American good will, Ireland
might begin to take account of the
responsibility conferred on her by
her geographical position?
Answer Partly True.
1t is, Of course, difficult to reply
to the 1rishman who says in answer:
very well, but it is we who shall
be bombed, and not you" This is
true in part, but it is a fact that
the great shipyards and industries
of Northern Ireland have not been
severely bombed as yet, being well
out Of reach Of German planes. or
at least so much so that the Ger
mans prefer to drop their bombs on
targets they can reach more effec-
lively. A more effective answer
might be made If this country were
actually to participate in conveying
ships. and providing ships for con-
voy, in the North Atlantic. The
extent to which we could do this is,
of course, limited by our Pacific
anxieties, but in the present emer-
gent situation risks have got to be
assumed. and If we are taking risks
ourselves it is much easier to press
others to do So The breaking of
of diplomatic relations with Ger
many might sufficiently dramatic

of the American people to impress

Whatever the means employed,
the most vital immediate service we
can do for the future of freedom
in this world, our own freedom. and
Ireland's, too. as we'll as Britain's, is
to convince the Irish people that in
this crucial hour Of the worlds des-
tiny they must show themselves
worthy of a great past and meet
with courage and resolution the
issue presented to them by the fate
which planted them at the gateway
of the Atlantic.

Nation Honors Anniversary Of
Birth Of Benjamin Franklin

France during the Revolutionary
War. He went to France in the
year 1776 and soon became popular.
His learning attracted the attention
of educated people, while his derss
and manners made him the idol of
the common people. Eventually,
France sent both the money and
troops to aid the colonies as a re-
suit of Franklin's efforts, even tho
the king seemed reluctant.
1t was Franklin who said:
"There never was a good war or
bad peace.
Among Franklin's inventions and
discoveries were: first iron stove,
1742; discovered electricity, 1852;
lightning rod, first paper money, har-
monica, first subscription library,
improved fire place, copper palte
press, and he made many expert
ments to determine the laws OF
light, heat and sound. In connec-
tion with his plans for city improve
ment in Philadelphia, he is accred-
tied with the establishment of new
system of lighting, cleaning and inn
proving of alleys, widening and paw
ing of streets, first public library
improved police system and improved
fire system.

Wednesday marked the 234th an
niversary of the birth of Benjamin
Franklin behind whose homely wis
dom of Poor Richards almanac was
one of the keenest intellects of his
day and generation.
Franklin was one of the first per-
sons to contend for public education
of all children, boys and girls alike.
In Philadelphia he founded an acad-
emy which later became the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. In his
youth, he was an avid reader and
voracious for knowledge. An orig
inal thinker, with an adeptness for
absorbing the wisdom of his elders,
he dedicated his plan of life to pro-
noting the greatest good for the
greatest number. His philosophy
has served as a guide down through
the years, with the result that he is
recognized as Americas first great
citizen.
Of the 55 men who took part in
framing the Constitution, Franklin
was considered one of the five mas
ter-minds. One of Franklin's import
ant contributions to the independence
of the colonies and in the formation
of the United States, was his help to
| the colonies in securing aid from
