To the Editor of The Star:
The article by Felix Morley featured
in the editorial section of February 2,
might we'll be read by every citizen of
these United States.
ITO those who understand that entry
into the war cannot be regarded as an
end in itself, to those who think that
Hitlers new order must be opposed by
something more positive than an in
dictment of Nazi Schrecklichkeit," said
the author, "the absence Of long-range
American policy is disturbing because
the only alternatives as yet officially ad-
vocated are an isolationism which does
not work and an interventionism directed
primarily to the making of war"
The short-sighted policy of the isola-
tionists failed in 1919 and it will fail
again. They are trying to bring back
into existence world that disappeared
with the advent of the industrial revo-
luton.
Short-sighted policies such as theirs
solve only the problems of the present
and can never solve those of the future.
What we need is a far-sighted pro-
gram that recognizes that the nations
all are dependent upon the others for
raw materials and markets. AS men
have instituted governments among
themselves to protect life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness so the individ-
ual nations must attempt to organize
government among themselves to insure
for each and every individual life, lib
erty and an equal chance to pursue
happiness in this modern dependent
world
President Roosevelt has talked of "a
world founded upon four essential free
doms.' But upon program or organi-
zation to guarantee those freedoms, he
has been completely silent So have his
Republican opponents.
AS the Peace League of the Great
Powers" was formed prior to our entry
into World War No. l, so today we find
its counterpart in Federal Union. Inc,
which advocates the plan of Union
Now set forth by Clarence K. STREET.
That plan. when first conceived, ad-
vocated a definite political merger OF the
United States of America, Canada, the
United Kingdom Cof England Scotland
and WaleS), Ireland, France, Switzer-
land, Belgium, The Netherlands, Nor
way, Sweden, Denmark, Finland Aus
tralia, New Zealand and the Union Of
South Africa. But as Mr.. Morley noted
in his article, it has now been modified
by force Of circumstance into advocacy
of immediate union between the United
States and the British commonwealth
of nations"
With great benefits accruing to the
individual citizen. five powers could be
given to this union government; namely,
union citizenship, union defense force,
union money, a union free trade area
and union postal and communications
system
Though the Union Now" organization
has not attained the same impressive
Endorsement as that accorded to William
Howard Tafts organization of the first
World War era, it is fast approaching
such a position.
With its thousands of members who
are pledged to the goal of the union of
the democratic nations as the nucleus of
world government of, by and for the
people: with the millions who are in
terested in our proposal; with those hun
dreds who hold positions high in gov
ernment and in private enterprise who
have pledged their support, together
with the active cooperation of the
press, radio. individuals and organiza-
tons ever the length and breadth of this
country, federal union is today Americas
yes, democracy's answer to aggression.
