Dear Mr.. Hearst:
4 MINORITY Of our citizens
IA want 10 go 10 war. Something
like 28 percent In New York City
according to the poll of the Daily
News. And all over the country
between Is and 20 percent, accord
ing to the Gallup and similar polls.

defeated for president In the last

Backer and his wife. the former

iIy, II calling Tor declaration of
war on Germany by the United
States.
But the majority of. our citizens
do not want 10 go 10 war. Some
40 percent of them. They remem-
her the lessons OF 1917.
1t was to them. Mr.. Roosevelt
WAS speaking when he said I'm the

As TO that other Ii Ia 20 per-
cent who want To 60 10 war, and
who feel so strongly on the sub
ject, there is nothing 10 prevent
them doing Countless ID u age,

But that il no bar tn Mr.. Backer,

let them set the example. Let them

first give up their comfortable air

They are asking a lot OF fine

that a bonus, opportunity 20 train

haps other inducements be Of
fered to get drafteeS TO stay.
On the subject of lifting hemi-
spheric restrictions, congressional
leaders said IL was doubtful II this
could be passed at present and
the point was raised that perhaps
the President. as communicating
chief Of the army. already had
power TO SEND men IN uniform
wherever they were needed.
If II should turn out that such
a step was necessary. IL was said,
the President might do il and then
present Congress with the accom-
pliShed fact as was done in
the case OF the trade Of 50 de-
stroyers for British base sites and
in the dispatch OF American forces
to Iceland.
