TO THE EDITOR:
II seems to me that we have
got to the point where someone
or some combination must stop
Hitler. There 10 no room In
this world any more for nom
interventionists or isolationists.
Such tremendous advances
have been made during the last
20 years that surh an attitude IL
impracticable.
am informed that planes are
being constructed that can travel
5000 miles carrying 10 tons of
bombs, and it is predicted that in
five years bombers will be able
to travel around the world.
What a pity we did not pay
any attention to Gen. BILLY"
Mitchell 20 years ago.
But to return to Hitler.
In "Mein Kampf" he an
nounced q desire to control the
whole world and he has made
rapid strides in that direction.
Hitler has no scruples, ID. ut
terly ruthless and unreliable,
his whole career is marked by
acts of violence, he reached and
retained power through devious
methods and much slaughter, II
ready to sacrifice his bosom
friends to attain his ends, breaks
his word without any compunc-
ton, and now claims that the
Germans are SUPERMEN = and
he is Superman No. /.
The rest of the nations are
INFERIOR RACES.
The only nation that Is still
standing up to him are the Brit
ish-they have lost many battles
to his forces, but keep on fight
ing.
Hitler seems to love above all
things to fight civilians, over
10000 have been killed or
wounded in Great Britain and
the bombing has been terrific.
Yet only few days ago the
peoples representatives in the
House of Commons, despite the
frightful carnage and WITH
OUT ANY COERCION, voted
447 to 3 to fight on, and indicated
that they would sooner die than
be subservient to him and his
despicable colleagues.
This action should make us
think more than once.
One of Detroit's local papers,
or q writer therein, declares that
Great Britain desires WORLD
DOMINATION, whereas 1t is
Hitler WHO WANTS THIS and
the British are trying to stop
him.
In Neville CHARACTERISTICS time,
appeasement was tried and 1t
failed.
Hitler will never stay "put."
One day he only wants Danzig
and the corridor-nothing else.
Shortly after he wants some.
thing more.
He does not respect neutral
agreements.
He will march right into a
country without declaring war
il it suits his purpose.
Nothing Is sacred to him-no
treaties-no promises-not even
his own word.
What does the United States
want to do?
Wait until Great Britain Is
beaten (if she can be beaten)
and then be forced to fight alone
against the axis?
Or continue to help Great
Britain and to increase that help
as rapidly rs possible.
To my mind, what the British
need most is bombers.
If there had been no strikes
here this year we could probably
have sent enough bombers over
to have saved Greece and Crete.
If we continue helping Great
Britain, then South America
will stay with us and Hitler can
be beaten.
IF WE DON'T and Great Brit
ain loses, we will be alone, and
what a position that will be.
Self-preservation, If nothing
else, should force US to put in .

feat the vilest forces that have
ever been arrayed against lib

In conclusion, ! would like to
say that I have nothing but kind
ly thoughts for the Germans !
