Happy Birthday Now

his birthday night speech in observ-
ing THAI birthdays in America are
happy because We are living under
a free people philosophy. And how
grateful Americans should be that
such is the case.
There is but one tinge of sadness
about taens, and that is the cOntem-

may be the last for some time to be

ID matter Of days, or weeks at the
most. the way VIII be wide open for
commitments that might at any mo-
1ent precipitate us directly into open
armed conflict. In enactment of this
measure. Congress might as well
prepare itself for what may follow
at an early date. a request for de-
Claration of war, or at least war
whether there is anything formal
about it. Since it has come to be
custom with nations merely to be-
gin fighting without a plain state
ment precipltate is directly INTO open
could, and may, carry on IN that
fashion.
No one may wish war, but may
expect it, or say they do. Coming of
summer will likely find the United
States a belligerent, by formal OF
informal action. So that birthdays
now may be the last for some time in
an America that technically is at
peace with the world.
