The House Republicans insist
that the invocation from the junta
did not direct the action of the
stormy caucus, although it follow
ed within twenty-four hours. The
step-by-step specified movements
were the occupation of ''bases out
side the Western Hemisphere"
Qceland), and promises of "un-
authorized aid to Russia" Another
sententiOus utterance was this:
Few people honestly believe that
the Axis is now or will be in the
future in a position to threaten
the independence of any part of
this hemisphere if our defenses are
properly prepared"
The occupation of Iceland - on
the invitation of that land - before
Hitler could grab off that stepping
stone to this hemisphere, is part
of the proper preparation of our
defense. We have consistently
done what we could to check the
on-march of the Axis. Aid to Rus
sia, which is now blocking the
Nazi effort at world conquest, is
the most immediate method of
staying the onslaught, and making
aggression from the Pacific side
more improbable.
We are sending all sorts of war
material to England, with the idea
that Great Britain shall do all the
damage possible to the Axis A
bomb dropped from a Russian air
plane on Berlin produces the same
effect as an identical bomb deliver
ed by the r. A. F. A NaZi transport
sunk in the Baltic diminishes the
strength of Hitler as much as one
sunk in the North Sea.
1t may have been a coincidence
that the Republican caucus follow
ed within "a hours the broadside
of the junta; it may be a coinci-
dence that the entire group that
called on Congress to oppose the
Presidents program was composed
of those who have opposed Roose-
velt right along - but the evidence
is that the campaign is simple poll
tics.
In their announcement the crisis
in the Pacific was ignored, which
suggests that Mr.. Hoover remem-
bers his own attitude when Japan
started on her career Of Asiatic
conquest and Secretary of State
Stimson vainly strOve to get a
united front of powers against that
aggression.
Where The People Stand
AS for the 'few people who hon
estly believe" that the Axis consti-
tutes a threat to the United States
why are we building a two-ocean
navy, creating a wartime army and
spending billions on billions of

The effort of the Hoover-Landon
wing to commit the Republican
party to the policy of isolati II
marks deliberate attempt to end
the principle of no partizan politics
in the defense program.
1t is particularly brazen in the
light of the circumstance that the
minority partys candidates in the
last national election have both in
dicated their adherence to a con-
trary view, Wendell Willkie has
openly declared his accord with
the policy of President Roosevelt,
and Senator McNary has voted for
nearly all of the measures that
call for all-aid to the demOcracies
that are fighting the Nazis.
The Republican Vice Presiden-
tial candidate of 1886 heads the
Navy Department and Hoover's
Secretary of State is now Secretary
of War, with neither of them fore
swearing his Republicanism. Most
OF the important figures in the de-
tense set-up are listed as Republi-
cans, and so are also characterized
as "war-mongers" by the isolation
ist group in the minority party
who refuse to admit that these are
motlvated by the sentiment that
they are patriotic Americans first.
and party members only second,
and so were willing to answer the
call of country.
The day after the Hoover-Lan-
don group issued its round robin,
a caucus of Republican House mem
bers followed suit According to
the New York Herald Tribune's re-
port of that session, the caucus was
virtually forced on Joseph w.
Martin, Jr.," Republican floor lead
er and chairman of the Republican
National Committee. Chairman
Martin, regardful Of the division in
his party, has militantly worked
both sides of the street on the iso-
lationist issue.
The G. o. p. Dilemma
Whether the Hoover group sue
ceeds in making the Republican
party the isolationist-or appease-
ment-party is of purely academic
interest to the Democrats. We
have only sympathy with Chair
man Martin, who feels that unity
is the only hope of his following
and has been bent on preventing an
about break between the Hoover
ties and the Willkietes.
There is a pathetic note in the
statement attributed in the Balti-
more Suns account of the caucus
to an Ohio member, to wit: 1--WE
can be for peace and perhaps be
licked in the next campaign; we
can be for peace and war and prob
ably get licked; we can be for war
and certainly get licked"
According to the pronouncia-
mentO of the Hoover Landon junta
THE American people should in
sistently demand that Congress
should put stop to step-by-step
projection of the United States
into undeclared war"

Communist propaganda of Book

Russian Book Trust in Moscow.
On behalf of Morris Liskin, for
mer president of Bookniga Corp,
Attorney David A. Hart declared
that there was no evidence that his
client had ever seen letters from
the State Department, calling on
the corporation to register. He
was a figurehead president, he as

evidence of conspiracy on the part
of Mr.. Liskin and that statements
of his co-defendants made nine
months later could not be used

that excellent character witnesses
testified for Mr.. Liskin and that
there was no testimony whatso-

Isadore Englander OF New York as
serted that he had nothing to do

that the defendants went into this

THIS IS NO WARTIME
EMERGENCY PROJECT

Colorados Governor Ralph L. Carr
Thursday started a movement that should
spread to every irrigated section of the
west part of America.
1t seems strange to say this in time
like the present because Gov. Cars
movement is one of opposition. Yet 1t
is such opposition as keeps the breath III
democracy-and such opposition as must
be successful if we are to retain, at
home. the complete liberty for which our
fighting men are contesting on the bat
tlefields.
Gov. Carr opposes a federal govern
ment program which would place Secre-
tary of Interior Harold L. lckes in full
control of vital irrigation water in all
parts of the west The plan is nothing
new. 1t was broached long before we
went to war. in the form of proposal
for federal water authority" to ''coor-
dinate' the efforts of all western water
and irrigation districts. 1t is the BRAIN
child by which Secretary 1ckeS would
remove the last veStige of local control
in the affairs Of millions of western
farmers.
Secretary Ickes and his followers have
taken advantage of the war emergency
to proclaim that their plan is part OF
the war effort. BY so doing, they hope
to silence opposition which normally
would arise. They know that the aver
age American will hesitate long time
before he fights against anything duly
constituted official describes as part of
the nations victory program.
We cannot see this project as part of
the war effort We cannot see that It is
anything but vicious effort, under the
cloak of emergency, to establish in fact
one the secretary's notorious social-econ-
omic theories which, if they had full
sway, would make of this country moth
ing but national socialist state control
led totally from Washington in peace
time as we'll as in wartime.
If we of the irrigated areas of America
are to retain any veStige Of democracy in
operation of the systems most vital to
US, We must join the battle launched by
Gov. Garland join it actively and ag-
gressively.
Imperial Valley press., 1941-12-19

You are about to enter world
battle not merely of men and ships
and airplanes but of ideals, phil
osophies and economic SYSTEM he
said.
Our enemies seek to make the
whole world subject TO a small
group of tyrannous powers. We
fight to preserve the freedom of
all peoples.
Our enemies proclaim the virtues
of so-called superior races with
mystical right to oppress all the
other peoples of the earth. We fight
for a world where every race and
every nation will have an equal
chance to grow and prosper.
They proclaim war as the ulti-
mate function of man. We see war
as a horrible necessity, to be re-
sorted to only when all else he's
| failed"
The things which we are fighting
for and what we are fighting
against are our greatest assets, he
said. and "victory-eventually a.
ineVitably-will be ours.

U.S 5. War Expenses
Exceed British by
Gigantic Margin

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. tUP)-
The war already is costing the
United States S729 every time the
clock ticks off a second-one and
one-third times the current British
war expenditures.
The United States now is disburs-
ing approximately S63,00OOOO a day'
in the armament program, and ex-
penditures for the fighting forces
are being accelerated as fast as
industry can turn out arms.
The house of commons officially
was told this week that British
war costs are &117500OO a day,
approximately $4700O000.
United States war expenditures
are expected to be doubled within
the next u months. which would

PROPHECY STILL TRUE

Nevada State JOurnaD
Once in a blue moon man makes a
prophecy which not only indicates what
is going to happen, but which also points
out measures that will be taken to combat
the peril.
All of which springs from thoughts of
William NJ. Evarts, famous New York
lawyer, who served as attorney general
in the cabinet of President Andrew John
son after having acted successfully as
principal counsel for that chief executive
of the nation in his trial for impeach-
ment. A biography of Evarts has just
been published, written by Chester L.
Barrows, and in it appears a prophecy
made by Mr. Evarts He said:
Long after | am gone, the world will
have to wake up and watch the Germans
and set barriers, as you would against
a wild bull until he is tanned. That will
probably be the special work Of England
and America" Mr.. Evarts died in 1901.
