the European war:
Today the war has grown into a collision
between whole social and political systems and
masses of peoples arrayeG against each other.
More, than ever before the United States to-
day towers high in the world arena, moving
swiftly toward a possibly decisive role.
The United States still is holding aloof
from actual physical combat, though it rapidly
prepares for it.
United States economic resources and its
diplomatic power have been thrown into the
scales against Germany and Germany friends
in the West and East $3.50. Its armed men have
been deposited in Greenland and Iceland while
It's warships patrol the Atlantic and the Pacific.
From a weakened island nation that some
expected to fall within six months, Britain has
been transformed into hristhng seagirt bas-
ton which even the Nazis concede would prove
difficult to subdue.
