SIDNEY METZENBAUM,

Detroit evening times., 1943-09-11

WE ARE fighting this war-iR cooperation
w effected solely by executive under
standings.
Seemingly both nations have confidence
in this arrangement, but while it sufhces,
perhaps for the war. it would not be sufficient,
for, let US say 1O=year period after the war
ends.
Such an arrangement, should it be
formalized and ratified would be an alliance.
Alliances are not new expedients in the
political world, but very old ones; but for
us, an alliance would be novel For. | think,
that in our whole history, we have never had
but one alliance and that was made with the
French monarchy during the period of our
revolution before We became the union Of
states that we are.
We were not an ally" in the first World
War, but an associated power Perhaps
sound argument could be made that it was
misfortune that we were not an ally with
both the authority and responsibility of an
ally.
: But, at any rate, am convinced that Mr..
Churchill is working with all the persuasive
ness he possesses, TO bring us into a true
alliance with Great Britain and the domnons.
THE strength behind Mr. Churchills propo-
sition is its common senses AS this war
ends we will be in a situation, with only two
alternatives that will be practical.
One alternative, and it has many advo-
Gates, is to merge our own statehood into
some form of a "superstate' to which we
would transfer our sovereignty.
The other alternative rs to make an
alliance revocable Of course under proper
conditions, and for a limited period, not per-
petual.
1t would create responsibilities for us, but
only such responsibilities as can be assumed,
without surrender of independence, or of our
own ultimate power of decision.
l think Mr.. Churchill is right in saying
that the English people hope for such
political consummation. | believe they have
been moving toward it for many years; since
the last threat Of war between us in 1896;
since our own war with Spain in 1898; and
since their rude awakening to the peril of
Germany, in 1900.
l believe that Mr.. Churchill hopes and
labors, AS the elimination of his long public
career, for two achievements decisive defeat
of the Axis powers, through the close CO.
operation which we now have. and an alliance
between the British Commonwealth of Ma
tions and the United States of America.
I EFT me say finally that while / believe
- that this is what Mr.. Churchill seeks,
and that he is quite indifferent to a revival
of the League of Nations, or the creation of
-anyetAeF- machinery iffrofvfrg other states,
such an alliance need not block a broader
alliance.
1t would be workable combination,
precedent, possibly, to larger combination.
II would be the core of a new international
machinery in a future, which, as he said,
will be either world anarchy or world

Churcai'I's Untime!y Speech

And it is not within the intention or the COM
prchcnSon of Mr. Churchill that the United States
and the American people could ever conceive or
desire a more advantageous thing than to become
a part Of the British Empire,
MIR CHURCHILL has been carried away by
wi the fact that twice in my lifetime the long
ann of destiny has reached across the ocean and
involved the entire life and manhood Of the United
States i'm deadly struggle"
We should resign ourselves to this as an
inevitable and permanent condition, he seems to
sHgoost since ,theleng ann reaches ot fefnefse--
lcssy'
There has always been an attitude of mind
IN ENGLAND that the English-speaking world is
strictly and securely and nchangeably ENG
LANDS WORLD.
1t has especially been an nchanging attitude
Of mind i'm England that the United States is an
estrauecd member Of the British family, always
10 be- depended upon i'm crisis and ultimately to
be depended upon for return to the fold.
MIR. CHURCHILL mQNeStionablv and frankly
vi has that attitude of mind, and spoke it freely
at the Harvard convocation
Mr.. Churchill went TO great lengths to point
out to MS the likenesSes between the English people
and England'S system Of government and the
American people and 0Ht- system of government
But he did NOT mention the great differences
and diVcrgcnceS.
Nor did he seem to recognize the fact that
the United StatcS-amply established by two world
WaIS-aS the greatest, most productive and most
powerful nation in the World-could hardly be eX
pected to submerge itself in the minor political
entity it has twice saved from destruction.
T HE BRITISH EMPIRE and the United States
have largely the same language to be sure, but
thcv Of different race, and essentially different
tradition. government and political purpose.
Fer Prime Minister Churchill, therefore, to
ask lis to amalgamate is as prepoSterous as when
he asked France in 1910 TO amalgamate with
England and accept common citizenship" for no
two peoples on earth are wider apart in every way
than the Gaul and the Anglo=SaXon.
France rejected the absurd idea.
Now zee are asked to take the bait of a com
mon country which means nothing unless it
means that the t. S. A. would become PART OF
THE BRITISH EMPIRE.
NIR CHURCHILL said he did not know whether
vi this alliance, with the offer Of the keys of
Lon don to every American. would become a
political issue" in the United States but he felt
certain that it could not become one in Great
Britain.
1t will certainty become political issue in
the United States if he keeps harpng on it,
And that is because we are still the great, inde-
pendent SELF-DETERMINING DEMOCRACY

future status in the world cannot be settled by

The World in RPCiPT
Premier Halls y. S.-British Unity
By NAL GEN. DAVID PRESCOTT BARROWS

4 T HARVARD UNIVERSITY, Mr.. Winston
Churchill has received the degree of
doctor of laws He followed this with an
address which received warm applause from
the-academic community to which it WAS
spoken. Inevitably rhe=dealt with the war
and with the American and British nations
united in its prosecution.
He described the work Of the Allied COM
bined body of chiefs of staff, American and
British officers representing all branches of
both services, which has been operating for
months at the war department in Washington.
This body. he told u.s. submits its counses
to the President and to himself, as war
minister in the British war cabinet.
These officers are handling the combined
resources of men and war materials lust
as if these were the resources of a single
nation |
Nothing like this occurred in the last war,
or in any previous war.
THEN Mr. Churchill queried, can afford
to break up this combined machinery
after this war is over?
Must we not hesitate TO let go Of the
security we have found in this combination
of leaders, men and materials, at least until
something else in the way of international
machinery can be instituted to take its place?
Speaking for Great Britain he could
affirm that on such a proposition there was
no difference of opinion or of party, among
all Englishmen.
What Mr.. Churchill undoubtedly sees is
continuance of the present close consuta-
tion and collaboration of authority by both
countries; the constant estimating Of the
situation, after the war ends, by the best
minds of the two countries, continuing TO sit
together in combined staff, and utilizing
combined military strength TO assure the
detectives of the war and of the peace which
follows.
7 JUDGE that this would require some
what different type of organization.
II would require the work of great
SIdH, no lOHStI slIlCtIy military Dul COm-
prising the leading statesmen of the two
countries, with the aid of men professionally
equipped by knowledge and technique to
estimate the general situation all over the
world
Fhc results of such consultation, the
recommendations, or counsels, would be SUBJ
mitted for ratification not solely 10 the
executive heads of Great Britain and the
tinted States, but to the parliaments of
Great Britain and the dominions, and TO the
Congress of the United States
Allied combined chiefs of staff, and their
associates, who haVe learned under the stern
necessity Of war ito know, to like, to trust
one another would bequeath their spirit
and much of their technique TO this new
Allied staff.
Now what would this be? Well, think
that we could only call it an alliance

Last PIT. A. Meeting.

At the Parent-Teacher Association
meeting in the school auditorium last
Thursday evening the audience was
given an overall picture of the work
done during the current year. The
grade teachers had exhibits neatly
arranged on tables; the chemistry
class gave a fine demonstration of
what can be done with little of this
and little of that when properly
mixed; the exhibition of physical
training was equally interesting, same
being in harmony with the program
of physical fitness as outlined by the
State Department of Education and
the U. S. Office of Education.
The evening started with basket
ball game between two high school
girls teams. Routine business mat
tiers were taken care of, final result
of the annual election being as fol-
lows: Mrs. j. Albert Johnson, presi-
dent; Miss Merle McCutchan, secre-
tary; Manford Nelson, treasurer. The
evening terminated with social visit
ing and refreshments.

Church and Home
BY REV. NJ. MIKKELSEN
After Confirmation.

BE thou faithful unto death, and
/ will give thee the crown of life"
-(Rev. 2:1O).
My faith in Jesus Christ is a very
personal matter. No one can believe
for me. neither can any one be a
Christian in my stead. 1t is possible
in so many other ways for others
to help and serve as proxies, in Chris
tianity, however, this is definitely
excluded. Faith is like tool, valu-
able when used worthless if left idle
and unused.
Lessons learned in the classroom
may teach us clearly enough that
Christ is the Way: Gods way to man,
and mans way to God. But unless
these lessons are applied in a prac-
tical way and made use of from day
to day they may not mean so very
much to us.
Christianity must be practiced in
order to become practical. By prac-
tical Christianity is meant that we
are in constant contact with God, in
constant communication, receiving
answers to our questions, advised
about our way in dark world, being
guided by His Spirit into new and
rich and joyous experiences.
We are told about the Samaritan
duke l0) that when he saw the
man who had fallen among robbers
he was moved with compassion. We
are furthermore informed (Matth
9:36 is one example) that Jesus
when He saw the multitudes, was
moved with compassion. There would
be no sense in claiming identity be-
tween the two, we know that they
were different except on this partic-
ular attitude: They were moved with
compassion.
Such similarity exists between
man and God when love is the urge
that compels us to do things for 9TH
ers which might endanger our owr
safety, or at least interfere, some
times rather inconveniently, with oul
conventional plans. But such j:
practical Christianity. It is Glove
that wilt not let me 60" 1t is needed
in the world today more desperately
than anything else.
The Christian law of life is: Thol
shalt love the Lord thy God will
all thy heart, soul, strength and mind
and thy neighbor as thyself
To follow that simple rule is t.
make good use of the faith we claim
to possess.
