Isolating An Isolationist

Isolationist members of Congress who are seeking
reelection may have to worry as they read the
results of the Republican primary election in
Maine where James c. Oliver Republican representa-
tive who openly isolationis lost his fight for
nomination
If Maine elections still foreshadow the trend in
American politics. light vote will be cast in forth
coming Congressional primaries and isolationists in
Congress will be retired to private life said Emmett
Crozier, in the New York Herald Tribune, Republi-
paper, which is very often quoted locally
setting forth the details of the defeat of Repre-
sentative c. Oliver for denomination, running
as an avowed isolationist the New York Herald
Tribune, its editorial page, said:
"The point is that the people of Maine not
fooled by such record They accepted it for what 1t
plain indication of man who persistently was
in the wrong major issues From this there was
Only conclusion draw-that as he had been
wrong in the past he would very probably be wrong
in the future. Certainly the people of Portland and
the vicinity that they did not to
be represented in Congress any by such man"
Comparing a similar record made by soationist
nation the New York Herald Tribune said:
1T would be a reflection on the good sense and in
telligence of the people of Dutchess, Putnam and
Rockland counties here in New York to suggest that
it will be any easier to them than it to fool
the people of Maine Try he will, Mr.. Fish cannot
gloss over his record of almost uninterrupted bad
Judgment. We do not, have said before, ques
ton his loyalty. We merely insist that his record is
so bad that he has no possible claim continue

"Do You?"

Under the above caption The Christian Science
Monitor, the best edited independent paper in the
country asks the following pertinent questions which
every American citizen should be able to answer in the
affirmative:
When someone says: ''It's Rooseyelts fault We're
in the war'-do you say: That's what Hitler claim
in his speech that announced the Naz declaration
of the United Sates?"
When someone says: I'VE ought to get out of the
Far East, anyway, instead of sending soldiers
there"-do you point out that that is exactly
what the enemy wants the United States to do?
When says: Britain is fighting i'm
perialist war, and has managed to drag the United
States in for British interests"-do you remind him
that the Nazis told France that this Brtain's
war, and then conquered France?
humorous stores sayings asks questions design
ed to suspicion of the government Amer
icas Aes-do you spike the rumor, the
nefarious intent of seemingly harmless joke
point the innuendo in the question: and show how
all these subtle devices of the enemys effort to
divide the peoples of the United States to
mine national unity in America?
Do you? That is important way of US
can help to defend country, and to win the war
And the nation does need that kind service today
the hands of it's citizens.

The British have developed a
new weapon which has proved eff
fective against aerial raids. 1t is
on the principle of the sky-rocket
used on Fourth of July nights.
The rocket shoots a projectile that
opens into a parachute, from which
long wires dangle. Bombers in the
night time are likely to be caught
and their propellers enmeshed. and
the pilot loses control of his air.

Reading the London newspaper,
the writer observed that due to the
shortage of news print, sports news
