Building Hate

One would hardly expect a Wood
row Wilson or any other past Presi-
dent of democracy to give a talk
so undignified and so lacking in re-
serve and craftsmanship as the one
given by President Roosevelt on Navy
Day.
According to the President, Hitler
has it all mapped out how South
America with its ii countries will be
cut down to five and of course the
Nazi are to rule. Eleanor Roosevelt
followed that up in her column to
say that it was true, she had seen
the blueprints. That of course should
cinch it, now that the President and
his wife have both said so. It is all
part of the propaganda to build
up hate and war hysteria.
Can't you see those Germans aft
er the Russian campaign marching
right in upon us Americans! If you
swallow the Roosevelt propaganda
that is what you visualize.
Oh, for statesman in the White
House-a man of high vision who is
concerned about the future of Ameri-
ca and impartially about all hu-
manity.
Askov American., 1941-11-06
YOU CAN'T PREDICT ALLIANCES
(MOntevideo NeWs)

1t could have happened If the war
at the start, had been against Russia
and if Germany had gone in to help
Britain (and that isn't so crazy 2
thought-many responsible Britons
and Germans talked that way only a
few years ago) then the United
States would now be sending sup
plies to Germany. Harry Hopkins
would have gone to Berlin instead
of Moscow.
And Americans would be hearing
much-from the record-about Rus
sian brutalities. Russian lust for
power and Russian threats to free
dom, independence and democracy
everywhere in the world.
But the dice of history rolled the
other way-and the Russia that
started trouble in American factories
a few weeks ago now gets American
supplies made in those same factories.
1t will be interesting to see what
the next big turn is. Wars are as
unpredictable as lightning.
Askov American., 1941-11-06
Doing 1t The Worst Way

When people agree that wars settle
issues in the worst possible way, one
would think that such individuals
would bend every effort against war
But no, that is not always the case
There are various reasons advanced
for following greater sympathies for
other countries than that of America.
The main argument used is that there
are greater evils than war. It is a
fairly safe argument for those who
will not be up in front to stop bull
lets.

From WashingtOn's Farewell Address.
September II, 1896.

Observe good faith and justice tow
ard all nations. Cultivate peace and
harmony with all. Religion and NOR
ality enjoin this conduct, and can il
be that good policy does not equally
enjoin it? 1t will be worthy of a
free, enlightened, and at no distant
period a great nation to give to man.
kind the magnanimous and too novel
example of people always guided
by an exalted justice and benevo-
lence. Who can doubt that in the
course of time and things the fruits
Of such a plan would richly repay
any temporary advantages which
might be lost by steady adherence
to it? Can it be that Providence has
not connected the permanent felicity
Of nation with its virtue? The ex-
pertinent, at least, is recommended by
every sentiment which ennobles hu-
man nature. Alas! is it rendered
impossible by its vices?
In the execution of such a plan
nothing is more essential than that
permanent, inveterate -. aptipathies
against particular, nations and pas
sionate attachments for others should
be excluded, and that in place of them
just and amicable feelings toward all
should be cultivated. The nation
which INDUCES toward another an
habitual hatred or an habitual fond
ness is in some degree slave It is
a slave to its animosity or to its af-
fection, either of which is sufficient
to lead it astray from its duty and
its interest. Antipathy in one ma
tion against another disposes each
more readily to offer insult and in
jury, to lay hold of slight causes of
umbrage, and to be naughty and
intractable when accidental or tri-
fling occasions of dispute occur.
Hence frequent collisions, obsti-
nate, envenomed, and bloody con-
tests. The nation prompted by ill
will and resentment sometimes i'm
pels to war the government contrary
to the best calculations of policy.
The government sometimes partici-
pates in the national propensity, and
adopts through passion what reason
would reject. At other times it makes
the animosity of the nation subservi-
ent to projects Of hostility, instigated
by pride, ambition and other sinister
and pernicious motives. The peace
often, sometimes perhaps the liberty,
of nations has been the victim.

Government Issues
COlumnists And War
BY Hjalmar Petersen.

Nearly all the columnists are
whooping it up for war, although ir
several cases it is a complete re-
versal from that which they wrote
two years ago.
In spite of all the propaganda that
is being dished out by columnists in
the daily press, the President, cabinet
members, professional military men,
and through front page news articles
and editorials, the big majority of the
American people is still not for war
Why is it? Largely because we have
not been called upon to defend our
homes and our homeland.
The morale among the soldiers in
England and Russia is entirely diff
ferent. They don't need such propa-
ganda to whip them into shape. The
soldiers in those countries are fight
ing for their homelands, and that
makes for a different morale than
when soldiers realize, that if they 60
to war, they will be asked to travel
5000 miles or more to do the fight
ing.
Coming back to the columnists, this
is what Walter Winchell wrote against
war in the Daily Mirror on April IL,
1899:
"Once again Europe is rolling the
loaded dice of destiny. And once again
America is asked to play the role of
international sucker. The time has
come for us to pause and consider. If
we must have another Unknown SOL
dier, let us not ask him to die for an
unknown reason! And just what will
be accomplished by his dying in the
mud? He will not increase Americas
resources; the last war nearly ruined
our fertile lands. He will not increase
Americas wealth; in the last war we
loaned our gold and were gold
bricked in return. America must learn
that her sons abroad will bring monu-
ments to her glory-but her sons at
home are a monument to her COM
mon sense. The future of American
youth is on top of American soil
not underneath European dirt"
Askov American., 1941-11-06
THE PARAMOUNT QUESTION
OF DEMOCRACY
(By Women's International League
for Dooco opJ Eraado,,o\

(By Women's International League
for Peace and Freedom)
Whatever the legal and constitu-
tional rights of the President in or
dering American ships to shoot, this
action cannot be divorced from the
whole question of democracy itself
Probably more important than the
war issue, is the basic issue of de-
mocracy. The whole theory of par
liamentary government is based on
the conviction that the will of the
majority should rule and that the
minority should be protected and
given the right of criticism and pro-
test. We believe that whatever may
be the constitutional right of the
President, the speech of September
11th was a denial of American de-
mocracy.
In such a situation it is the re-
sponsibility and duty of the Congress
of the United States to act. It is
possible, though not probable, that
the Congress would confirm the ac-
ton of the Chief Executive i'm de-
claring a naval war. We would re-
gret and vigorously fight against the
Congress giving that support. Never
theless, if the Presidents naval war
was confirmed by the Congress it
would be a decision reached through
the process which was clearly the in
tent of the founding fathers, namely
that the war making power is vested
in the Congress. However, if the
Presidents action was not confirmed,
as we believe it would not be, such
