If we can only
Hold up these war supplies long

Maybe we can get a chance to use
them, ourselves
And, "plowing under" of American
boys should be done on this contin-

would have chance to be heroes
Amid the comforts of their own

Anyhow
One-third of our boys
Are not strong enough to go into
the army
According to rigid requirements of
military doctors
We can't have those doctors fussing
around with our boys
Until there is some real emergency
to get excited about
1t was bound to happen, anyway, as
a matter of course
With one-third of our families un-
der-nourished, under clothed
Now, if we could find a way to
starve another third of them
That would make any military effort
on our part really ridiculous
Affording Senators complete proof
of our pacifist qualifications
Plus national innocuous desuetude-

1t makes little difference
How big a country is in square
miles
If it's people do not want to fight,
like those of Norway
Or if they are sufficiently divided,
like those of France
Or if they can be scared, like the
Balkan Babel of tongues
But 130 millions, if they were like
the Greeks,
Would take Trojan horses apart,
and dissect fifth columneers-

It's ridiculous!-
To think that Hitler will invade
America
So let's keep all those battleships
and big bombers-
We must maintain our navy in tech

For that mythical invasion of Nazi
fleets and squadrons-
Hold that line, on the Pacific front
Nippon will never get past Hawaii
after taking the Philippines
Unless American oil wells furnish
her fleets with fuel

"But if var comes we must know how to protect ourselves, our homes, and the homes of our neighbors. If we are strong, if we do the job that only we can do, then our chances of keeping war from our shores will become an actuality, and not 8 hope"
 On the same program Defense Ad- nainistrator Fisher said that There is a proposed new world order on the march," and asked "Are we to sit idly by and see the things that make cur world = our democracy or civilization crushed under the heel of q ruthless conqueror? or are we going to work together for unity and strength? We have tremendous obligation upon our shoulders and no one can afford ito ask why without also asking what can I do to help"

Mfr. Roosevelt is expected to cross party lines to seek the defeat of some or all members of Congress YlIo have opposed his foreign pole
 ties.
 Willlxie, who is convinced, that the Republican party should purge itself of isolationisn, apparently in- ends to remain on his own side of the street, opposing COP. isolation. lsts but not aiding Democrats against Republicans.
 It appears, therefore, that VIII. kieb busiest period will be during the primary campaigns, when he would be expected to aid Republic cans seeking nomination as support N's of all out aid to Great Britain and Russia, especially if they are opposed by Republican candidates who would check the aid eRort.
 If iso1ationist Republicans are nominated despite Wlllkie's efforts, It will be up to the Democrats to beat them with administrations pledged candidates if they can, and WAdAVut WA2klc ' UAISCt atQs
 Roosevelt Can Stay Out
 MT. Roosevelt need not necessarily intervene in specific campaigns or yiame these isolatiorist Democrats or Republicans he would prefer de. feated. But, by 6 general state- Vnent applicable to all contests where isolation is an issue, he can throw his very considerable influence to the candidate who, regardless of party, is disposed to go along with administration policies.
 Underlying MT. Roosevelt,s sub. stantial partisan majority in con. gress is Q minority of Democratic opposition which is judged by some observers to outline the scope and area of major dissent. It lies in the north central part of the United States, commonly called the mid. west.
 That Is the area which has con- tributed the largest percentage of Democratic House votes against neu- trality act modification in 1899, the original conscription bill, the origi- nal lend-lease bill, extension of SC.
