We Are PeriIed From Within

CHOULD America enter the European war?
y Well, who has asked us to? Does William
F. Thompson mean that because two-thirds of
our Supreme Court was appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt that their decisions should be
looked upon with suspicion?
With what authority does Mr.. Thompson
speak when he says that the British navy
can't even protect itself, and where does he
get all of his inside information as to the
location of the British main feet, which is
something even Herr Hitler would like to
know?
Surely the British admiralty knows best
what type ships are best needed for the pro-
lection of the British Isles.
Don't kid yourself about no greedy Eu-
ropean power menacing our shores.
Maybe not by boat or plane but how
about the fifth column? That works quite
we'll by what we have seen in Europe.
1t can't happen here. That's what those
other countries thought.
We all agree that good old Uncle Sam
comes first but we or no other nation can
live alone. So let's send all aid possible to
those fighting aggression.

4'A of the great Rainbow Divi-
sion in the World War and the
best dressed officer in the A. +.
F.. bar Pershing. has the title
of the field marshal of the Phil
ippine army.
Macarthur was once chief OF
staff of the American army.
which is as high as a man can
go in our military service. He
is a fine soldier and the son=ef
a fine soldier, Gen. Arthur Mac
Arthur, who was commanding
our army in the Philippines
when our soldiers were singing
that disrespectful song 40-odd
years ago and who was military
governor of the islands.
You have TO go back to Ar
thur MacArthur's time to get
line on the fighting ability of
a Filipino army. He tried one
out by fighting against it.
THE FORM he disclosed sug-
L gests that his sons men. if
we'll equipped, could be as big
a surprise to the japanese as
the Greeks were to the Italians.
A rag-tag aggression of Filipinos
armed with a few then modern
Mausers but mostly with an
tique rifles and even bows and
arrows and without artillery.
made several valiant stands
against Arthur MacArthur's
seasoned regulars and volunteers.
Before they began fighting the
Americans in what is recorded
in history as an instruction. the
Filipinos had been battling the
SpaniardS to a standsttill in a
war for independence. They de-
veloped several clever native
military tacticians, among them
Pho del Pillar. a chap named
Luna. and Emilio Aguinaldo.
who led the Filipino army
against the Americans.
IN THE meantime. the Fill
i pinos showed that their long
suit was guerilla fighting.
AS there is small chance that
the Japanese can batter past
the defenses of Corregidor at
the mouth of Manila Bay to get
at Manila and would have to try
to move troops overland to
reach the city. it is in fast
guerrilla stabbiHg that Mac
Arthurs men would probably be
at their best.
He has a tight little army of
10000 native regulars and up
wards of 10000 reservists who
have had more or feSS military
training and calling a Filipino
reservist into the field probably
has none of the complications
that attends the process in
America.
You can just give the Filipino
a gun and ammunition and he is
ready.
The Filipino can fight all
right. but has he anything to
fight with?

TO THE EDITOR:
I WISH you would publish the
L following explanation of a re-
mark made by Gerald L. X.
Smith last Sunday night over
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-03-08

THERE was never time, up
Il TO 1886 at least. when. with
the controls at their command,
they couldn't have stopped
Hitler. as Winston Churchill con-
tinuously urged that they should
do.
They didn't. As Napoleon had
done earlier, and as the North
did not do after the Civil War.
they permitted the conquered
country to build up an over
whelming military superiority,
under their very noses.
Now the situation is reversed.
Hitler sits astride most of
Europe He has disarmed il and
made its vast military booty
part of his own forces.
Some observers. reverting TO
the Napoleonic failure. say that
it can't be done-that his con-
quest will coll apse through
counter-revolution caused by
combination of interior strains
and stresses with outside pres
sure.
AN EVENTUAL crack-up is
"A probable on all the prece-
dents-except one. Perhaps the
forcible retention of the Con-
federacy in the American Union
isn't a fair parallel. After all, we
were still one people. Lincoln's
hope, so long deferred, was right
in the end:
THE mystic chords Of memory,
stretching from every battle
field and patriot grave to every
living heart and hearthstone
will yet swell the chords Of the
union. when again touched. as
they surely will be. by the better
angels of our nature"
Nobody could say that about
Hitler's conquests. but just the
same, on all the evidence to
date. he is not likely to repeat
the blunders- of Napoleon and
the Allies through any lack of
toughness. efficiency or cold
blooded cruelty. Let's not kid
ourselves too far from realism.

Johnson|S Suggests
(The opinions expressed by
General johnson are not neees-

Times.)
By HUGH S. JOHNSON

NAPOLEON conquered large
a part of Europe. Because he
had some idea of a sort of
United States of that continent,
semi-sovereign states united in
a loose league, he allowed the
conquered countries a good deal
of leeway.
Whatever the reason, he didn't
exercise a close enough control
to keep some of them conquered.
In Prussia, Scharnhorst and
Stein effectually evaded his dis
armament DEGREES by using the
permitted small Prussian army
in a new concept, not as fixed
regular establishment but as a
military training school through
which they rushed yearly classes
of recruits as rapidly as possible.
In this way, they forged the
forces which finally sent Ma
poleon first to Elba and later,
after Waterloo. to st. Helena.
Napoleon just wasn't tough
enough.
WE DO good deal of talking
about our great liberal free
union of semi-sovereign states,
the United States of America.
But we frequently forget that.
so far as the states of the old
southern confederacy are con-
cerned, there was nothing free
or liberal about it.
We forced them to remain in
the union at the points of bayo-
nets. After they were van
pushed. we treated them as
conquered provinces. +"
1t is worth remembering be-
cause, after the Treaty OF Ver-
sailles. the Allies. especially
England and France, made
exactly the same mistake that
Napoleon had made and made it
with exactly the same war-like
people, the Germans.
