Paving the Way.

Nazified Europe might not plan
at the start to assail us in military
way. While consolidating its ILL
gotten gains over there, its trans
Atlantic tactics would be to under
mine and demoralize the Americas
in every conceivable way. Its inter-
mediate strategy would consist of
sowing political dissension and TO-
menting internal economic and So
cial strife. That is where fifth COL
umns come in. 1t becomes. there
fore, the urgent task Of all West
ern Hemisphere governments to
move as promptly and drastically
against these Nazi-Fascist- Com
munist PAYERS of the way for actual
war as We in the United States are
now moving to arm ourselves
against attack and invasion.
Alert and United.
September, 1910, happily and I'M
questionably finds our country alert
to all and sundry of these perils
and united to grapple with them.
But armed might, organized, trained
and equipped with the absolute
minimum of delay, must march
shoulder to shoulder with eternal
vigilance if the things we hold dear
are to be successfully defended and
preserved. The diSillusioning wear
of peace which now lies behind us,
especially its closing months. have
witnessed national recognition of
that cardinal necessity. Both polit-
ical parties and their presidential
nominees see eye to eye on the
major demands of the situation. The
European dictators make the mis-
take of their lives if they inter-
pref the normal rivalries of a great
political campaign as national dis
unity. The new American mood
provides ample cause for hope. It
affords sound reason to feel assured
that this land of unlimited posi-
bilties. aroused and determined.
will not falter or fail along the path
laid out for ourselves, after a year
of European war. which we once
dreamily imagined would never
touch us.

suddenly become a grim reality.
Last September Senator Vanden-
berg proclaimed in a speech at De-
troit that This is not our war;
it should not be"-Hitler's blitzkrieg
in Poland had just begun. This
September finds us enacting con-
scription for an Army of 1900 900,
launching plans for a two-ocean
Navy, arranging to produce more
than $4,000 additional warplanes,
providing reserve military stores for
a total mobilization of 1000, 900 men
in time Of emergency, organizing
industry to turn out mechanical
armament in colossal dimensions
and preparing to spend on all these
various sinews of security more than
SIC, 000, 100000 for the fiscal year.
The scales have fallen from once
complacent eyes.
International Action.
Fabulous as Is this program for
material national defense, it is
matched by far-reaching, unparal-
leled political steps taken for the
same purpose. We have entered
into a virtual alliance with Canada
for mutual protection and hemi-
sphere defense. We are negotiating
with Great Britain for leasing of
air and naval bases in the North
and South Atlantic, looking to safe
guarding of the whole American
Continent. We are weighing the
transfer of United States destroyers
to the British Navy. BY the Act Of
Havana we have vastly strengthened
the Monroe Doctrine. We have &C.
mented new bonds of unity with the
sister Americas, whereby the in
exhaustible resources of all the ma
tons of the New World will be
pooled as never before for protec-
ton against a common threat to
their liberties. Plans have been laid
for Joint seizure and administration
by the American republics of any
presently European-owned territory
on this side of the Atlantic. which
may be in danger of falling into
totalitarian hands.
Isolationism BafY1ed.
Most important of all in these
monumental decisions is what they
typify-an epochal, fundamental
revision of our country's concept
of its place in the world and of the
menace that confronts us. Henry
Wallace'S acceptance speech de-
scribed the situation as nothing less
than new fight for freedom"
which faces the American people.
Everything a far-sighted President
and a patriotic Congress have done
the former through leadership.
the latter by legislative enactment
indicates that the Nation at last
is alive to what is happening in a
revolutionized world and is in ter
rible earnestness in the determina-
ton to meet Americas resultant
responsibilities. We are, of course,
as anxious as ever to keep the
United States out of war. But we
have belatedly come to understand
that war may not keep out of the
United States. The forces of isola-
tionism, the apostles of the it-cant-
happen-here school, have been baf-
fled, though they are perhaps not
yet in full rout.

A few have gone back. into the mountains to pan gold. That, too, is illegal, be- sides being back-breaking work with little pay-off.
 Most of the men have sold all their personal belongings. The steward of one ship was jailed recently for try ing to sell champagne from the ships stores. The ships are deteriorating. There is no paint, and no money to buy any. The ships are covered with rust and crusted with barnacles. LITTLE CHANGE

Further, the Eisenach Is a coal-burn- CT, with very little fuel left and no chance of getting more. To add bitterness to this exile, the crews have to sit and watch two small freighters sail into the harbor every week or so, call for freight and sail out again with the Union Jack flying.
