REACTION BOUND TO COME
Editor ASkov American:

Editor Askov American:
GAS you sow, so you shall reap
so goes an old proverb which nearly
everybody has heard, but very few
pay any attention to, except during
harvest time. We are now reaping
the results of number of follies of
the past and generally the remedies
are applied to the result and not the
cause.
AS human nature does not ma
terially change during the span of
a lifetime, so human conduct does
not change either. People with a
shrewd knowledge of human nature
and past events can therefore usual
ly predict what will generally hap
pen. It does not require much OBJ
servation to see that things are 60
ing about like they did 25 years
ago. So far the trend of events is
very similar. The reason for this is
that the basic factors are about the
same. People try to avoid the mis-
takes of the past, but events have
a way of shaping themselves, leaving
conscientious public officials power
less in web of circumstances and
realities which they are unable to
resist, and which they don't under
stand.
For 20 years and over we have
been hearing that wealth as well as
men would be drafted during the
next war and emergency. The people
who advocated this were undoubted-
ly sincere and right thinking. But
their knowledge and background was
not such as to tell them that this
was impossible, now as in the past.
The fundamental selfishness in human
nature prevents this. What a yelp
went up when profits were to be
limited to six per cent. According
to fairly reliable reports some con-
tractors are making 70 yer cent on
government contracts. To limit profits
to six per cent would take the profit
out of war. The fact remains that
many people are becoming rich due
to the preparedness program.
No matter whether we get into an
active shooting war or not, things
are bound to 60 much the same way
as after the last war. The reason
for this is that the basic qualities are
the same. A few improvements may
be made, but those who have become
rich during the war will want to
hang on to their wealth. The future,
however, is full of dynamite with the
tremendous increased Indebtedness
England and the United States will
have after the war. 1t will be very
difficult to pay the Indebtedness off
when the national income starts to
contract. This will result in an early
period of depression and stagnation,
such as we had in the early twenties
and later in 1929 and a few years
thereafter.
Reaction is bound to set in after
this emergency is over, with reac-
ton will come reactionary govern
ment as we obtained in 1920. They
will try and save concentrated wealth
at all costs, saying that the war was
fought to save the capitalistic sys-
tenn as well as freedom. People will
not do all these things because they
are entirely bad, they do this to save
their own hides. OF course the liber-

tion of Britain's jubilant boasting
about her "great military feat.

Mr.. Roosevelt is honestly con-
vinced that Nazi victory would
have incalculable consequences for
America. It has become an obsession
with him. He knows that if Hitler
is to be crushed, the final battle
must be fought on land; but he knows,
also, that it is an undertaking far be-
yond the capacity of the incompe-
tent British.
Hence, if Russia is defeated, Ameri-
ca has no choice: It must 60 to war;
The process of pushing us in, step by
step, has accelerated of late, as Rus
sia's chances have dimmed. If she
falls, it will quicken, ultimately to
sweep us into another A. E. F.
Only Congress can halt it-a Con-
gress with the backbone of a jelly
fish and the intelligence of an oyster.

reached this conclusion largely by
spacious naturalization and, not in
frequently, by an obvious inability to
weigh all factors sensibly, the fact
remains that his sincerity may not
be doubted. 1t would be as untrue
as it would be unjust to charge him
with concern for Britain greater
than his concern for America.

as it would be unjust to charge him
with a concern for Britain greater
than his concern for America.
Mr.. Roosevelt is under difficult
handicap in urging his Intervention
list view on the public, as are all
who back him, for there is one fac
tor, looming large, at the existance
of which they may not even hint.
This column is under no such dis
ability and can speak right up.
1t is Britain's utter lack of ca
pacity for land-fighting. AS a naval
power, her worth is unquestioned;
as military power, she is a dismal
and colossal flop. She has managed,
not only during the current crisis,
but before, to conceal her incompe-
tence; but there is a saying, how
ever jocularly it is usually spoken,
which is more truth than jest: ENG
land loses all battles except the last
one, and even that is won for her
by somebody else"
1t was England that broke Napole-
on She was able to form coalition
against him. But the victory, at
Waterloo, which saw his finish, was
largely due to the Germans under
Marshall Blucher. The English have,
however, claimed the credit.
And it was Britain that broke the
Kaiser. Again, she was able to form
a coalition sufficiently strong to de-
stroys. her enemy The sRussians,
Italians, .Belgians, French and Do
minion soldiers were the schief suf-
ferers in the land warfare. 1t was
they, largely, who held the Germans
until America came. Compare Eng
lands casualties with those of her
Dominions, taking populations into
account.
Britain's chief service to the AL
lied cause was at sea-and in her
successful scheming to draw Ameri-
ca into the war.
It is claimed that 10000 Germans
were killed in Norway. Yet, on
Churchills own admission, the Brit
ish had only $4,000 soldiers there.
English-American newspapers gave
the British almost all the credit The
Norwegians were seldom mentioned
other than incidentally; and when
they were mentioned, it was to stress
the widespread treachery with which
the English-speaking press constant
ly charged them.
In Belgium, the British ran when
the Germans came. The same thing
happened in France and Greece
Britain's own official figures of cas-
ualties lend color to the truth of this
claim. In each instance, the native
troops remained to face the music,
while the British saved their skins
by flight.
Britain has never taken on for
midable enemies ,singlehandedly on
land. Her fighting has been large
ly against colonial natives. In the
present war she has discreetly tackled
nothing stronger, alone, than Italians,
Persians, Iranians and the Syria
French.
The Italians in Africa seemed a
safe bet. She had open communica-
ton lines; they had not. She drove
them out of Libya in a compaign
lasting SO days, or from December
to February 6. 1t was hailed with
loud acclaim by the English-speak-
ing world as a great military feat.
But then the Germans came. The
British found themselves facing first
class soldiers. They left Libya six
times as fast as they had come. The
Germans drove them out again in
10 days. There was sudden cessa-
