As an argument, it is considered
the trump card by those who are turn
ing our country into an arsenal fol
Britain. They triumphantly proclaim
that after England we are next and
by aiding Britain now we will keeI
Hitler from vanquishing us later; like
the Execuitoner in THE Mikado"-
"he has us on his list, we never will
be missed"
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, just you
wait a little while until Herr Hitler
invades and overcomes England. Then
from the hordes of starved and
MANNED and killed of Europe he will
launch a myriad army of invincibles,
in mighty fortress ships from the bot
tom OF the sea- Overhead an immense
squadron of nonresident forever-flying
planes will dip and loop in merry for
nation across any of the puddles Of
water that surround the country. And
we, poor we, debilitated in our I'M
touched wealth and manpower, will be
overcome by one look at the invading
Titans and on Bonded knee will hand
over our country to the bad nazi boys.
But perhaps our Senate naval COM
mittee knew differently, when they re-
ported: "Airplanes on the continents
OF Europe and Asia do not menace
u.s." Furthermore, said they, I'VE
cannot be attacked directly by the
armed forces of any powerful foreign
nation. We cannot be blockaded by
any surface vessels or submarines.
We cannot be starved We cannot be
invaded Nor can our cities or homes
be bombed from the air by foreign
airplanes, if we make sure that we
command the sea and air approaches"
And who among Americans would OBJ
ject to our commanding the sea and
air approaches to safeguard our coun-
try?
Further proof, as it actually worked
out in practice, from the speech of
Winston Churchill made last June:
"In the Skaggerak, because of the dis
lance -four hundred-odd miles from
England) we could give no air support |
to our surface ships and consequently, |
lying as we did close to the enemy's |
main air power in Norwegian waters,
we were compelled to use only our
submarines A far cry from Presi-
dent Roosevelt's warning that from
the fjords of Greenland it is only six
hours by air to New England" and
other such alarms.
Whether or not American boys will
also by sent to Europe remains con-
tingent upon day to day Developments
One thing is certain: million or
more men under arms and powerful
war industry to supply the instru-
ments of death equals a compelling
force to be used somewhere, some
how, soon. And it can be equally as
serted that imperialist expansion is
definitely on the aggenda. American
plutocracy is ready to invade the lu-
crative fields of exploitation once
firmly held by Great Britain and also
France.
And you, Mr.. and Mrs. America,
what juicy gains will fall to your lot
rom such enterprise? What gains in
living standards, health and security
will accrue to your account? First,
he dubious benefit of the bodily
slaughter of your beloved. And begin {

choose one man and invest him with
dictatorial powers X. Being absolute
master, he cannot be removed except
by armed force, and his country
has a new tyrant in the seat OF the
old"
Today hardly anyone would question
his judgment; in those early 1930's he
was accused of everything from plain
ignorance of historic forces to total
mental and moral degeneracy. His
enemies tried to railroad him to jail,
and he endured months of Gripping
anguish in consequence; 80 did his
family. Mr.. Dies has incurred no such
penalties in his heroic roofing" for
publicity.

1t is often forgot that Christopher
Columbus was not alone when he
reached these shores. He sailed with
80 men and left band of 40 to the
linhospitable mercies of the New
World. These were our first immi-
grants.
From that day to this, Europe has
sent about 45,0O0,0OO permanent emf
grants abroad, more than half of
whom came to the us. In the Hun
| cry Forties, century ago, Irish fam
inc and European unrest literally
drove people to the harsh opportun-
tiles of the New World.
Not until 1882 did we begin to be
a little choosy. Still, year after year,
more than ESQ of our population in
crease was caused by immigration.
Then came the World War and the
us. became panicky about the guam
tity as we'll as the quality of immi-
grants. Drastic laws were passed,
hanging large mo Admittance" signs
on all ports of entry.
Quotas cut our immigration of al
most 100000 year to few hun
dred thousand In the case of some
countries the regulations were espe-
cially severe; Italy's contribution, for
example, decreased from 100000 to
less than 5000.
In the last 10 years, for the first
time in our history, more people left
the us. than came here. We lost al
most $4,000 people by immigration,
most of them returning to the coun-
tries they had left so full of hope.
This extraordinary situation was no
doubt one of the results of the de-
us. has grown less than half as fast
as it did from 1910 to 1880, and at
one-fifth the rate of the early days.
II we could go by rule of "One
man, one job" our employment level
would have benefited by the emigra-
ton of the last 10 years. But 1t is i'm
possible to think In those terms. Some
migrants took away skills that we
needed even in depression times and
threw men out of work.
The bright side is that those driven
here today by an intolerant and war
torn Europe may bring back these
skills and put hundreds to work again
1t has happened that way in our
country, as well as in other countries,
in the past
The US. was built by flood Of
refugees from Europe. We may still
build the future with people who come
here to live and to work.

Resignation of Justice McReynolds

on the part of liberals and progress
sives on Capitol Hill. He was regarded
as one of the most hidebound reac-

with once having said that the great

CitySubwayPIan
Studied by DSR

A S132,700.000 subway system
for Detroit was being studied TO
day as a cushion 10 help the city
over a possible postwar slump.
The proposal. for three subw.ays,
to run out Woodward Grand River
and Gratiot avenues, was sub
mitted TO the DSR commission by
George r. Emery OF the Mayor
Improvement Committee. lie said
the plans had been drawn up by
the Rapid Transit Commission.
NJ. J. Kepler Of the city en-
gineer's office said that the plans
for the Woodward line, which
would extend S.S4 miles from JEFF
ferson TO State FAIR avenues, with
the north l.56 miles surface line,
were similar TO those submitted
without result 10 WPA authorities
in 1888, with some Improvements.
No plans have actually been
drawn up as yet for the Gratiot
and Grand River Lines, he said,
but il is proposed 10 run the Grand
River subway 1875 miles from
Woodward avenue TO Seven-Mile
road with the last It's miles on
the surface and the Gratiot line
nine miles from Woodward 10
Eight-Mile road.
The total cost Of the projects
would be S132, 100000, which Presi-
dent Samuel T. Gilbert of the DSR
commission termed "a lot Of
money. The Woodward line would
cost S3o 600 900.
