IS IT OUR FIcHT'

Stotes relations to Europe and its war
lies this one incondeseont question: us
it our fight"
II it were possible to answer with
"yes" or mo" everything would be sim
pie. But few can answer SO simply.
Only the most robid isoIotionist be-
lieves that the United Stotes has no
interest at all in the possible triumph
Of q single closed politico-eeonomic sys-
tenn over three continents. Yet only
the most robid inteNentionist goes all
the way to the other end and with an
unqualified, "Yes, let's get in inmedi-
otely."
Most people of the United States
can answer only "yes-ond no." It is
in the spreod between those Mo words
thot argument, and events, ore oper-
otins on American public opinion.
In the first place, the phrase that
Britain is fighting our war" is unfor-
tunote, because it is hard to deny it
entirely. yet it suggests more than most
people in the United Stotes are prePor-
ed to admit. Let's try to take the
phrase apart:
In the first place, anyone who be-
Iieves it is literally and completely true
puts himself in very bad light indeed
If he does not 90 on to the only honor
obIe conclusion: I'VE should be in it,
fighting ourselves" Anyone who is not
prepared to accept that conclusion
should be careful how he losses about
the phrase Fighting our war;" for he
Toys himself open to the suggestion
thot he is willing to sit at eose and in
safety while eeeing someone else on
to fight his own fight for him.
This should be remembered: to what
ever extent Britain fights "our fight"
no one claims that she is fighting it
primarily for US. Britain fights because
she saw q Europe rapidly coming into
being which Threatened her own ways
Of life, her position, her trade. her en-
pire-in short Britain fights for life.
Were the United Stotes nothing but
q blank space on the map, she could do
no other than what she is doing. So
to whatever extent Britain fights "our
fight" she does not fight for our sake.
Britons who reproochfulIy toke the at
titude that she does so, are influenced
more by q natural emotion than by the
focts.
Nevertheless, it is certainly true that
the United Stotes stonds to benefit by
q British victory
In situation we did not creote, in
q war we did not will, the United Stotes
is almost unanimous in realizing thot
q world with Britain beoten is world
infinitely less sofe, less pleasant, less
liveobIe than we have known. There
fore, we old Britoin, and will continue
to do so, come hell or high voter.
Should the United Stotes ever enter
the war, it will not be ITO save Britain"
any more than Britain entered II ITO
save the United Stotes." II will be be-
