it will prove to be directed against
the United States, and will mean
the inevitable involvement of the
United States in the war, That
is very unpopular thing to say,
but it is more important to pre-
sent an accurate picture than it
is to be popular. -.
Hitler is not. fighting merely
for the Ukraine. He has launched
his attack on every sector of the
Stain Line because he wishes and
intends to take the whole of Rus
sia. That is why he could not
negotiate with Stain. His goal
is not Moscow but Vladivostok,
where, if he can still hold Eu-
rope, he will be master of the
world. We shall then have to
help unSeat him from that mas
terry. instead of preventing him
from getting it, and the former is
more difficult than the latter.
Would Become Formidable.
Japan at present is too isolated
to play an efficient role in the
Axis. war system. Entangled in
China, checked by the economic
and naval superiority of the
United States, and always threat p
ened by an uncertain Russia,
she would be of little use to Hit
Ter in world war against Brit
ain and the United States, but
linked to the European sector of
the Axis by a Nazi-dominated
Russia, and supplied with ma
terial and military help from Ber-
lin. she would become a formi-
dable base for Axis war in the
Pacific. -
That Japan has any enthusi-
asm for participating in such a
war is doubtful. But If the
Nazis get to Vladivostok- all,
that involves is controlling the
TT n s-Siberian Railroad-the.
japanese will have, no choice
about it. For the NaZis will be III
a position to blackmail and coerce
Japan. A German air force at
Vladivostok would be a terrible.
menace to Japan, which is more
vulnerable to air attack than any.
other country. Therefore, the
japanese probably will try. to get
there first and Japan will have to
play Hitler's game-or else. Hit
ler treats his. allies, and his,
enemies in exactly the same way.
In this war, the German high
command is following out the

the Atlantic. which ultimately means
total defeat for him, or he must
clash with the United States.
Means War.
If there is any other way of inter-
preting the known facts, it has not
been suggested. In brief, what we
have done, are doing and intend to
do, means war. No informed per-
son thinks that Hitler will yield;
that a peace of any kind is near;
that Hitler victory over Russia will
not be prelude to fiercer attack
upon England; that there is any
thing ahead except long war, in
which our full participation is
assured. Such has been the unescap-
able fact since it became clear that
a Hitler triumph threatened our way
of life and that the survival of the
British was essential to our security.
Once that basic belief was avowed
as national policy, with the ap-
proval of the people, only one out
come was possible. 1t became merely
question of time; just a matter of
one step following the other.
The stage has now been reached
where discussion of whether We are
in the war is academic. If we do not
intend to go fully in, then our policy,
soundly conceived, is being unin-
telligently pursued. If We are not
going the limit, then recent state
ments Of the President and cabinet
members have been foolish and the
steps taken should not have been
taken. II We are not going farther,
we should not have gone this far.
II we stop where we are now, we
will have incurred the venomous
,enmity of the Axis powers, have
contributed to the crushing of our
ally, tossed billions of dollars away
for nothing and imperiled our own
safety by loud talk, hostile gestures
and weak action.

The Great Game of Politics
Policy Of Everything for Defense, but Not
Everything Roosevelt Wonts, Is Suggested

"feebly forceful." This is a time for
facing realities. 1t is possible to
disagree about the wisdom OF the
Presidents policy, but once the
policy has been accepted. it is
hardly possible to disagree about
the logic of his moves or not 10
know where the policy and the
moves are taking us That has
been clear since the introduction of
the lease-lend bill. Opponents Of
that measure were right in regard
ing it as a bill to take us into war;
its proponents were wrong in saying
it would keep us out. That was a
piece of false pretense. justified only
by the necessity of getting it
through. With its passage. and the
Presidents following address to the
Nation. we became the avowed ally
of the British, the open foe of Hitler.
All this being so-and approved
by the people-it seems the clear
duty of Congress to remove all
existing restrictions which, in the
opinion of the President and his
military aides, prevent our full
weight from being effectively used
to aid the British and defend our
selves. Obviously, it is folly to ex-
pect Gen. Marshall to defend the
United States with an Army that
keeps fading away. What is the
use now of talking about the length
of the draft or the number of
billions? The thing to do now is to
give to the President and to Gen.
Marshall whatever they ask that
reasonably can be justified in The
name of defense.
Open to Attack.
Not to do that would be national
stupidity on grand scale. Mr..
Roosevelt, regardless of politics, is
entitled to that kind of support or he
is entitled to nothing. What he is
not entitled to is support for pro-
posals. such as the ST Lawrence
Waterways, which would impede and
interfere with his own program.
Nor should he be free from attack
for the complacent incompetency
with which he is managing the de-
fense job, the weakness with which
he has permitted the labor and
farm lobbies TO exploit the emer-
gency; his counterfeit words and
gestures about reducing non-defense
expenditures: the continued activity
OF his New Deal friends, under cover
of defense, to push their socialistic
schemes, and the obvious politics in
the handling of the vital tax prob
lem.
For these Mr.. Roosevelt should be
criticized and opposed. The inepti-
tude with which he founders in the
domestic field weakens the Nation
as whole. 1t enhances the perils
abroad and creates unnecessary and
quite appalling dangers at home.

of the German high command is

Should Anticipate Worst.
There can be many slip be-
tween this policy and its realiZa-
ton, but it would be feeble
mindedneSs for us to count on
slips. It is much better to reckon
that Hitler may succeed in de-
feating European Russia, grab
bling the Trans Siberian Railroad
and breaking through TO the
Pacific for juncture with the
Japanese Intelligence recon-
mends that We anticipate the
worst possible event, instead of
hoping for the best.
Political theology has been
brushed aside in, this struggle
for world domination. As mat
ter of historical fact. the United
States always has distinguished
between the military and geo.
graphic role of Russia and its
form of government. Russia un-
der the Cars was denounced by
liberal America, but Russia aid
ed us in our Civil War and the
War OF 1872 and in the Spanish
American war, all for pure rea-
sons of national security. When
Theodore Roosevelt intervened
to end the RuSso-Japanese War;
it was to prevent the japanese,
from having a decisive victory.
1t was not because he liked the
Russian government, but because
of the Pacific Ocean. -
Timing a Vital Factor.
Therefore. unless we can
reckon that Hitler will be de-
cisively defeated in Russia,
something which is extremely i'm
. probable, the United States is 60
ing to go to war A Nation of 100
/. million people still in possession
of its senses will not allow itself
to be encircled and will not allow
itself to be pushed around.
. The question is who is to de-
eide when We go to war, and how
we go to war. If Congress is
more jealous Of its prerogatives
e. than of American security, we
will go at the wrong time and
. under the most Instantaneous
possible circumstances. In this
war you have to shoot when the
shooting'is good in order to avoid
shooting when it is bad. But we
will not be able to avoid shoot.
ing unless We want to be shot,
and shot for history.

unpopular thing to say. But it
