Borah Saw the Light.
Nineteen years before F. D. r.
ventured this wise warning, that
arch isolationist, the late William
E. Borah, speaking in the Senate
March l8, 1918, on The Issue of the
War" hit the nail on the head as
squarely as if he were in action to-
day. Listen to his prophetic words:
We are again led to under
stand how conclusively this is a
contest between two systems of
government, two civilizations.
We ought to get away, If we can,
from the idea that it is a con-
fiict over national lines in Eu-
rope; that it is question of the
redistribution of territory; that
1t is a question Of securing COM
pensation for injuries which
have been done to us, and under
stand that, whatever the cause
was in the beginning, we have
now arrived at point where 1t

generalissimo of Britain's COM
bined fighting services, might have
had our Fishes, Reynoldses, Nyes,

day when he said: There are
thoughtless, dilettante or purblind
Worldlings who sometimes ask, What
is it that Britain and France are
fighting for? To this I answer: If
we left of fighting, you would soon
find OUT! Britain and France do
not intend to leave of fighting"
until every free nation in Europe is
liberated from the grip of inse-
curity and fear. The allies believe
that even distant and disinterested
bystanders like ourselves, in the
event of Nazi victory. would soon
be confronted by the jungle law for
which Hitlerism stands. 1t is for
that reason that Ontario's attorney
general dares to suggest that Can
ada's duty is to do everything with
in her power to enlist the active
support Of the United States in the
cause of the allies" This observer
believes millions of Americans share
