Dissents From Isolationist View
OF German Attacks on Shipping.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
The head of the misstyled America
First" Committee, r. E. Wood, appar-
emily would like to give the impression
that Nazis rightfully may exterminate-
even without warning-American ships,
with all on board, If the ships are
carrying contraband in areas prescribed
by the Nazis.
Such a murderous practice-revolting
to the moral sense-never has had the
sanction of international law.
There seems to be a deplorable in
difference to accurate or definitive state
ment in America First circles.
Instead of maintaining our rights,
America First" tinidly shrinks from
their defense G. w. BURTON.
