One of the oldest automobile
manufacturing companies in the
United States has built more than
100000 cars. Another recently
turned out its $4,000 0OOth, and a
third has made 100000. Compare
this with the combined records of
the auto makers Of all other
nations, who together have not yet
turned out 10000 900 cars!

Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1940-02-01
President Avoids an Open
Frank Recommendation

Eventually, the situation was clar-
flied. Mr.. Roosevelt sent identical
letters to the speaker Of the house
and the president of the senate. He
called attention to American SYM
patty for the plight of the. Firms.
He indicated that the bulk of the
people hoped that, If anything should
happen to Stain, it would be some
thing Of consequence. But he avoid
ed an open, frank recommendation.
The President made a case In his
argument for the loan. yet he did
not follow the usual course Of max
ing recommendation. 1t was un-
usual restraint on the Presidents
part, something quite different than
he always had done Heretofore.
What MIR. Roosevelt did on the
proposal for q Finnish loan, there
fore, was to say to congress, In eff
feet: 81 am for such q loan but the
responsibility Is yours and II IL has
. bad bareback or II It gets us into
trouble, you will have to take the
blame"
The Presidents course respecting
his letters on the Finnish loan had
the unexpected reaction Of recalling
his position concerning repeal Of the
arms embargo. Most persons will
remember how vigorously the Pres
ident insisted on repeal Of the arms
embargo because, as he wrote con.
gress, such q statute is unneutral."
It win be recalled, moreover, Mr..
Roosevelt and his spokesman In con-
gress said with great show Of pa
triotism that this nation must do
nothing at all that will involve us in
a war that is distinctly Europe's
trouble.
Distinction BefsOeen Selling
Goods and Lending Money
It seems to me there is a distinc.
ton to be drawn between permitting
the warning nations, or any of them,
to come here and buy supplies and
pay cash on the barrel-head for
them, and the course that Is not
suggested. They buy them, pay for
them, cart them away in their own
ships that are manned by sailors
Of their own nationality. To make q
loan Of United States government
money to one Of the warning DOW
ers, however. is a national and not
a private, act. It Is official. It rep
resents determination Of policy by
the constitutional methods that are
prescribed. These same methods are
used In the declaration of war.
There are numerous other phases
Of less importance. None of them
strikes me, however, as affecting
the inescapable conclusion Of the
dangers inherent in the proposition.
AS I said at the beginning, am
not willing to assert that extension
Of the loan will bring about en-
trance into the war and that 70
other result is possible. I certainly
am not going to say that refusal Of
the loan will keep us out. There are
so many possibilities, so many things
that can happen, that I believe we
viii be better off il we do not make
that loan. My position is selfish,
admittedly. I have consistently ar
gued that 1t is a foreign war-not
ours. Surely. we cannot help our
selves by allowing our sympathies
to control our judgment.

was bit tricky in the way he pre-
sented the proposal for a Finnish
loan to congress. At first, we writ.
ers were informed from mysterious
sources that there was a drive un.
der way at the Capitol that was to
lead to loan for Finland. There
were quick denials of that from con-
greSsional quarters,
