more efficient enforcement OF safety
laws. But the whole burden of per-
sonal safety cannot be laid at the
feet of the policeman. Greater re-
spect by pedestrians and motorists
not only for traffic laws but for ele-
mental principles Of highway safety
is essential if the number of casual
ties is to be materially reduced.

Looking Ahead for 6. O. P.

Wendell L. Willkie, titular head of
the Republican party by virtue of his
1910 presidential nomination, has
promised his support in the coming
congressional campaign to those Re-
publican candidates who have backed
the administration policy of all-out
aid to Britain and strong national
defense His purpose is to strengthen
the party by leading it away from the
isolationist position, adopted by a
number of the party leaders.
In the opinion of Mr.. Willkie, the
isolationist kiss is the kiss of death
for any political party in this coun-
try today. Aside from that entirely,
Mr.. Willkie takes the long-range po-
sition that isolationism, carried to
the nth degree as proposed by the
Nye-C -Clark-Lindbergh combination,
will be the ruination of the United
States.
Mr.. WILKES campaign for Repre-
sentatives and Senators who have
supported the Presidents foreign
policy-as has Mr.. Willkie himself
does not carry with it a promise to
support Democratic nominees against
Republican isolationiStS. His pur-
pose, it is explained, is to strengthen
the Republican party. He will not
go to the front for Democratic nomi-
nees.
Back of this attitude of Mr.. Willkie
Is his entire lack. of confidence in
many of the Democratic policies of
the Roosevelt New Deal, including its
ineptitude and extravaganza in the
fiscal affairs of the Nation. He can
not forget that Mr. Roosevelt plunged
this country into massive debt;
that he continued to place social re-
form ahead of sound measures for
recovery, and that he brought about
class hatreds on an unprecedented
scale in the United States. Mr..
Willkie is not going to make terms
with these ruinous domestic policies.
Too many Republicans today are
thinking back to the days soon after
the World War-When there was 1rri-
tation growing out of the recent
conflict and the burdens 1t had
placed upon the people. 1t was then
that the spirit of isolation ran ramp
ant. It was then that the American
people were told that they could
attend to their own business and let
the rest of the world wag. 1t was
then that the country, under Re-
publican leadership, erected tre-
nendouS walls against international
trade, and set an example of extreme
nationalism that reacted in all the
other countries of the world. This
isolationist attitude did not save this
country from suffering the great de-
pression-an outgrowth of the war
and of the policies that came after it.
Too many Republicans are think
ing today that there is "one more
victory" in the isolationist position.
Just as, under the leadership of for
mer President Herbert Hoover, they
thought there was "one more victory"
In national prohibition. In Mr.. Will
kie's opinion there will be sad
awakening for the G. o. P. if 1t ties
Its wagon to the isolationist star
again. That star is setting.

Says Mosaic Principle
Is Inadequate in Present Crisis.

To the Editor Of The Star
Only when unjust aggression and the
potentiality of its recurrence have been
removed from the world will men be
able to live in peace and security.
The problem is not to make the
world safe for democracy" Git will never
be that until democracy" is made safe
for the world-which 1t is now far from
being, but to overcome unjust aggres-
sion already in being and to render i'm
potent those who have resorted to 1t.
Until this Is done, 1t is unwise to de-
pend upon platitudes.
There still is merit in the Mosaic law
Of IAN eye for an eye and tooth for
TOOTH" though on occasion that Is too
moderate principle to prove eficacious.
Sufficiently to impress an adversary
who is unprincipled, unjust and unrea-
sonable, but at the same time fierce, pow
erful and active, one must employ means
which can accomplish his elimination.
Reformation is too remote probable
ity to be reckoned with. He who once
has donned sleeps clothing and proven
to be a wolf should not again be granted
period Of recuperation.
The Sage Of Gahlee was correct in
observing that 'by their fruits ye shall
know them," and again In pointing out
that leopards do not change their spots
nor do men gather grapes Of thorns nor
hss Of thistles.

Thinks Mr.. Lindbergh
Is No Longer American.

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t was not Gods will that I should be
born Jew. But it was His will that be
born an American and as an American I
must condemn the attack that Charles
A. Lindbergh made on the Jews when
he stated that the Jews, the British
and President Roosevelt were driving
this country into war.
In the past, I have defended Mr.
Lindbergh's right to state his opinions,
because believed that he was speaking
as an American who felt that this coun-
try was on the brink of a war in which
it should not engage. I have defended
him and embraced many of his ideas
and opinions, feeling that they were
sincere opinions. Now, however, after
reading Mr.. Lindberghs speech of Sep
tember II. am forced to believe that
he is not fighting against our participa-
ton in this war because of love of our
country but, to the contrary, is fighting
our war efforts because he himself
believes in the "Mein Kampf" theory of
world government.
no longer believe that Mr.. Lindbergh
is great American, as have for nearly
a decade and half. I no longer believe
that he is an American in the true sense
Of the word. JOHN ARTHUR SHAW.

Proposes Russian and British Disclaimer
OF Territorial Ambitions in Asia.


To the Editor of The Star:
The better future of the United States
and of the complete society of nations
requires that America sustain the con-
fidence and continue to pleasure the good
will of Asiatic peoples especially of those
immense aggregates constituting China
and India.
To this end and that we ourselves may
not be disillusioned by an ultimate de-
NAL of the righteous objectives for
which our people are making unprece-
dented sacrifices, the slightest acquaint-
ance with the history of international
politics and wars recommends that our
Government obtain from Russia and
England an expression by them of abso-
lutte respect for the existing territorial
integrity of each nation with which they
are not or may not be waging . war of
self-defenSe.

Believes Europe Is Prepared
For American Participa ton in War.


For American Participa ton in War
To the Editor Of The Star:
In the wake of the epoch making
speech of President Roosevelt, 1t Is per-
haps of interest to know that the Euro
pean public was prepared long since for
the entry of the United States into the
present war.
The Library OF Congress has Just re-
ceived the July issue of well-informed,
high-ranking European monthly of in
ternational affairs, the Kulpolitika of
Hungary. In it one reads: Roosevelt, in
his press conference of May II, pointed
out that the United States already had
fought two wars without any formal dec
laration of war. And-what Roosevelt
omitted to mention, in all the wars of the
United States, the declaration of wars
was preceded by. serious hoStilities. The
diplomacy of the United States threw all
its forces into assistance of Great Britain.
The word neutrality is almost forgotten,
and slowly, cooperation with Great
Britain becomes the sole strategic and
psychological guide. In reality, America
stands at the threshold of the war. But
when and how this threshold will be
crossed no one can tell"
Now, the Navy Of the United States
has become the guard of the Atlantic
sea lanes. Europe knows what that
means. "grande marechaussee," to
use the expression of Comte, means
shooting. And since the most serious
thinkers of Europe are Anglophiles at
heart, the establishment of that grand
constabulary of public interest means a
long step farther toward the realization
of a better future for the world.

STRAND

Capacity attendance at Warmers Strand theater yesterday marked the opening performances of the sensational comedy hit "The Phil. adelphai Story" adapted from the New York stage hit, and starring Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and James Stewart in the role that won him the 194l Academy Award
 The picture Is hailed as one of the gayest, brightest and fnsot ur< usual comedies of the year. The comedy talent of Grant and Stew art need no recommendation but Miss Hepburn is a constant delight and treat for her fans in coin- edy role made to order for her tal- ents.
 Miss Hepburn should be good having given over 400 performances before the footlights before return- ing to Hollywood. She Is seen as a Philadelphia society girl who wants 8 perfect husband. Her first spouse unfortunately had human frailties so she divorced him. Her second husband to-be, worked his way up from the coal mines. Grant, her first husband realizing that the swing away from him is too great, turns up before the wedding to see what he can do about 1t. He invades the Hepburn household with Stew art, Q keyhole reporter for a society

BY PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Staff Correspondent

HollyWood-By all the rights oI come-uppance and sweet revenge Burgess Meredith should be direct ing. instead of acting ln, rom, Dick and Harry" The story goes back to 1882, when Meredith was on Broad way, playing the title role in Little or Boy" Q grim story of reform school life. It was his first profess sional role, and he had an under study as green as he was. Inexper- fence didn't prevent the understudy a persistent opinionated young guy-from featuring the leading man on the fine points of the drama. He would corner Meredith and earnestly tell him just how the role should be played. Until the end of the show, he was considered A cross to bear, not to say pest.
 Eventually, both actors came to Hollywood, and 1t would make a swell turn-about story to tell how they met again under reverse cir- cumstances, but there's no justice. Merediths the Harry, of rom Dick and Harry" and the pest who be- deviled him on Broadway is again telling him how to play his scenes. This time it's worse because he's really the director of the picture. You see, the ex-understudy's name was Carson Kanin. and he's one of the most successful young directors in Movietown.

The tables were turned on Wythe Williams last week. In- stead of predicting news, he made some. On March II, his coast-tO coast Mutual broadcasts entered their third consecutive 13-week cycle under the same sponsor. A few days earlier, his new book "The Riddle of the Reich," was published by Prentice Hall. No U. s. newscaster has a larger net work hook-up than this veteran journalist. His Tuesday and Thursday 8 o'clock broadcasts are fed to 99 Mutual stations, includ- ing WATR, Waterbury.
 The former New York Times World war correspondent has achieved radio success in a rela- lively short time. His first na- tionwide broadcasts occurred on Sept. 10. 1940, yet he managed to place sixth in the newscasters' division of the New York World Telegram poll of radio editors.
