We have begun to realize in this
country that if We are not actively
for democracy we are against it,
for every unconvinced mind is a
breeding place for the doctrine of
totalitarianism. 1t will be impos-
sbile to fight fanaticism in action
with anything less than complete
conviction on the other side. And
as this fact comes clearer. we see
that we must be fully prepared
mentally as we'll as physically to
meet the enemy The mental enc
my may get here first. We know
that too.
So we can feel the country fumbl-
ing for new declaration of poll
tical philosophy, for a slogan that
is sufficiently inspiring. and fine
words fly right and left without
doing the trick of assembling the
American philosophy of life. In
hundreds of books and magazines
are published careful. thorough and
inspiring definitions of democracy
and to any one of dozens one could
pin entire faith. if we are merely
after words. But obviously words
alone are not enough.
I think we are straining too hard
after definition. We can not line
up under a definition. We are al
ready lined up under the Declara-
ton of Independence, the Preamble
to the Constitution. and the hope
that government of the people, by
the people and for the people shall
not perish from the earth.' And
those are words enough. beautiful,
popular statements which most of
us believe and credit.
Beyond that 1 think we should
realize that we are only trying to
preserve our individual free wills,
and to increase the scope of their
operation. To me it is as simple
as that. We have been in great
measure successful in developing
government in which the free
wills of men drawn from many
countries could exist, even if in
operation the free will of many of

contentment among the people in
their way of life. They realize that
the manner in which American de-
mocracy operates must be kept at
tractive enough to warrant the sac
rifices demanded
America can build defense ma
chine as mighty, as efficient as the
Nazi machine of aggression. But
there will be a difference
The sacrifices that will be borne
will be dictated by the people, not
by any over-lord. The bill for our
safety will be incurred by the rep
resentatives of the people and will
not be levied against us by any
empirical leader.
Above all, we are still democra-
tic enough to defend ourselves
without giving up all the reasons
for that defense. We know what it s
going to cost. We have decided it's
worth the price.

that they could lurk in harbor and

while their great speed would make
it hard for the German air force to
stop them.
FIGHTING
ISOLATIONISTS
The White committee, by the
way, is expanding and will prob
ably play an increasingly important
role in the months just ahead. It's
present platform, calling for trans
fer to the British not only of the
torpedo boats but also of the ar
my's giant flying fortress bomb
ers, actually represents a victory
for the ''moderates" in the commit
tee-the more extreme members
having urged that the committee
work for immediate U. S. entrance
into the war.
Particular thought is being given
right now to strengthening the
committees representation in Wash
ington. One step in that direction
was taken recently when the COM
mittee brought John Balderston
playwright, mDvie scenarist and
former foreign correspondent, here
to handle its publicity.
Meanwhile, lot if work is be-
ing done out in the country. More
than 600 local committees are in
existence; especial efforts are be-
ing made to form new ones in dis
tricts represented by isolationist
congressman, although it is admit
ted this job was probably under
taken too late to be much of a
factor in the coming election.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26-When
Attorney General Jackson handed
down his famous ruling that it was
okay to swap U. S. destroyers for
British naval base leases, he spe-
officially turned thumbs down on
any deal which would involve the
fast motor torpedo boats now
building for the U. S. navy.
Nevertheless, such groups as the
William Allen White committee are
urging that those boats be turned
over to the Britsh-and they be-
lieve, now that it could be done
legally in spite of Jacksor's ruling.
What Jackson said in effect was
it was legal for this government to
sell naval equipment which it no
longer needed. but that it would
be Illegal to sell in any warning ma
ton warships which were built in
this country especially for sale to
that nation. The still unfinished
motorboats would come in the lat
ter category.
Now, however, it is suggested
there is way around the bar. OF
the % motorboats involved three
are already in service and the rest
will be shortly. Once they have
been commissioned Nnd put to
work by the U. S. navy. it is ar
gued. the government could easily
classify them as surplus" naval
material and trade them off just
as it traded the destroyers.
ADAPTED TO USE
IN CHANNEL
AS it happens, the British navy
h4s always been a lot keener
on these fast little boats than has
the U. S. navy. Britain built a
flock of them in the last war
tiny craft carrying a couple of tor
pedo tubes and tipping along al
40 or 45 miles an hour1and got a
lot of use out of them in the mar
row waters of the channel. The
U. S. navy never built any, chiefly
because these boats are designed
for fairly sheltered waters while
the U. S. navy figures to do its
fighting far out at sea.
About two years ago, the British
brought out new design husky
enough to operate in open water
Navy men here got interested, and
the British sent a boat over to
show what it could do. It stood up
pretty well, and the order for near
ly two dozen was placed.
Right now boats of this type fig
ure to be Britain's best defense
against invasion, the idea beinf

The text of President Roosevelt's
statement on the report of Under

Undersecretary of State Welles
has concluded the mission upon
which he was sent to Europe and
has reported to me and to the secre.

AS I said when the announcement
of MI. Welles' mission was made,
Mr.. Welles was sent to Europe in
order to obtain information with re-
gard to existing conditions. He was
never authorized to make, nor has
he made, any commitments involv-
ing the government of the United
States, nor was he empowered to
offer, and he has not offered, any
proposals in the name of this. gov
eminent. He has not received, nor
has he brought back to me, any
peace proposals from any source.
The information which he has re.
ceived from the heads of the gov
eminent which he has visited will
be of the greatest value to this gov
eminent in the general conduct of
its foreign relations. AS was an.
