Too Late Now

Whatever OF merit there may be in
the idea, Inc Methodist General Con-
ference is 700 late with its appeal for
moral embargo on shipment Of
war materials 70 warning nations in
Europe. The plea mentioned speci-
flcally "aggrcsspr nations" but these
nations. at least in the European
conflagrati"n, are getting but little
help here as it is.
President Roosevelt long ago in
stigatcd moral embargo" on war
planes and other supplies to Soviet
Russia, and the Allied blockade has
fairly we'll taken care Of the situa-
ton so far as Germany is concerned.
The most outstanding aggressor
that is being helped, and in a very
large way, from the United States is
Japan in her campaign in China.
Even that war appears to have run
INTO something OF d Stalemate, though
scattered, sporadic fighting continues.
1t is not on the scale it once was,
whether the let-up has resulted
from an attainment of goals or d
lack of war materials.

nations, it has come too late Prob
