members to help take up that lag
In public understanding that else

brink Of destruction"
The pledge, which league men,
bers are asking their friends and
neighbors to sign, Is as follows
United we stand. All the courage it
takes to fight war, all the spirit
Of unity it takes to win a war. all
the sacrifices demanded, hard tasks

The signed petitions will be COL

quarters here.
In an open letter to the league
membership Miss Wells asked a
number Of questions relative to the
need for public support of the pro-
duction program.
DO you find people who do not
yet realize how swiftly and imper-
ceptibly the United States has been
robbed Of its comparative isolation
by inventions that destroy the nat
ural bulwarks we once enjoyed?" she
wrote. Have yeu met people who
never understood the dependence of
our country upon the British fleet?
Have you acquaintances who do not
realize that when this program of
defense called the Lease-Lend Act
passed Congress it became the Ma
tion's foreign policy by will of the
people. even as war would be; who
do not realize that people need
sometimes to abate conflicts of opin-
3on on foreign affairs lest they result
IN danger to the Nation? Do you
meet with people who forget that
when dangers exist they must be
faced with courage; that it is not by
lodging dangers that we overcome
them? Do you hear it said that
Americans could still live happily
were the rest of the would to be
dominated by totalitarians?
Are there people who tell you that
the program OF production for use
here and abroad was meant only as
an easy step into war, not as a plan
that If it succeeded was better than
war? Do you find skepticism that
10 novel, so stupendous, so danger
GUS a plan can succeed: doubt that
anything but war itself can arouse
the spirit of national unity and the
will to sacrifice without which such
a plan must fail?"
In conclusion Miss Wells called
upon all members to unite to help
bring about realization of the pre-
dicament toward which the world Is
fastening"
