THE principles Of democracy, by
i spreading beyond the frontiers
of all nations, and on being raised
TO TIE heights of an international
standard, are the only factor that
will be able to consolidate a firm
and decided confederation of SOW
ereign peoples, because democracy
is not merely system of politics.
II is a philosophy of life that
informs all of Its activities and
which Is absolutely essential to
Pan-American existence.
Personal relationships adjust
their action to rules of secret am
bition and open hostility, that are
their allies in war.
Democratic systems seek the
straightforward paths OF law,
goodwill and mutual respect, as
their allies in peace.
Messrs. Senators:
. The war now raging in other re-
giOns of the earth will surely come

expanding Army Medical Center,
Hoffman demanded removal Of
Sidney Hillman Of the Go from
the Defense Advisory Commission
AS a step toward correction of con-
ditions TO which lie alludeS almost
daily in Congressional speeches.
MOVE FOR UNITY
"When the President removes
Sidney iIlman from the de-
Tense council" Hoffman declared.
"when he ceases TO give support
TO those who are endeayOring,
through strikes, slow-dOwns and
st0ppages of work, 10 increase
their own income. delay our
national defense and aid to Bri-
tain, and does something affirm
alive TO end these illegal prac-
tices. we shall have more faith
In his words and his motives.
"If the President wants ma
tional unity, il he wants TO in
spire public confidence. convince
the people of his sincerity. he
must do something to curb those
who from within are giving aid
and support 10 those he has
branded as the country's enc
mics.
Equally with the President
Congress shares the responsible
ity for the situation. Simple Leg
islation, easy OF enforcement,
coupled with proper amend
ments TO the NLRB would do
much to end our difficulties.
Hoffman charged that the Dis

AEF SEEMS UNLIKELY

Unless American aid to Britain
should be extended to include
manpower as well as materials. il
is felt this country's help will not
be sufficient TO assure a decisive
British victory
On the question of manpower,
there does not appear to be the
slightest disposition in administrs-
ton quarters from the President
down to consider the possibility of
sending an American army TO Eu-
rope to help Britain defeat Ger
many.
Authoritative quarters also hope
That the German people, when
they realize that Britain. backed
by American material support,
cannot be defeated, will eventually
withdraw their support from the
Nazi regime and back Reichs-
wehr Irregular army government
that will be disposed TO conclude a
compromise peace with the Brit
ish.
Once that stage has been
reached. il is thought there will
be a fair chance of obtaining a
general European peace settlement
providing for the restoration of
most of the conquered territories.
1t also is hoped that when Ger
many realizes it will not be pos
sible to defeat Britain. the Ger
mans will be willing TO join in
worldwide disarmament and a
sane policy OF economic recon-
struction.
