HAVE THEY
CHANGED?
REP. JOHN z. ANDERSON:

What strange bedfellows the pres
ent international crisis has created.
After a long struggle we succeeded
in removing David LASER from the
national WPA, and now Harry Hop
kins has gone to Moscow to put Joe
Stain on the international WPA"-
Congressional Record, August 5, 1941,
p. a4010.
REP. STEPHEN A. DAY:
Roosevelt an Churchill have
turned their back on Christian leader
ship. When they gathered on the
seas to do their best for the future
of mankind they thought of empire,
economic gains and said not a word
of spiritual leadership. This the most
discouraging statement, of principles
since the birth of Christ From
radio address, August 20, 1941, in
serted in Congressional Record, Sep
TENDER 2, 1911.
REP. HAMILTON FISH:
Il think the best thing that could
happen on the vast steppes of Russia
would be to have the Nazis and the
Communists continue to fight it out
to finish and destroy each other. -
Record, Aug. 5, 1941.
REP. DEWEY SHORT:
Il am thoroughly convinced, as are
many members of the house on both
sides of the aisle, that we are not war
ranted in declaring that the national
interest is now imperiled, which Is
equal in my judgment, to declaring a
national emergency. =. -. We not
only feel that our danger is no greater
now than it was year ago, but we
feel that if you consider all the facts
and evidence, we are actually in less
danger today than we were a year
ago.
what Japan wants is more of
China, probably all of French Indo-
China, some Of Siam, and at least a
free hand in the East Indies.
Of all the oriental people, the Jap
anese are most nearly like us.
1t is against these people that our
war hawks are proposing that we
fight war. And why? The Japs
don't want to fight us. They have
gone to the length of clippering a
special envoy over here to make an
other bid for peace. From an edi-
-orial in the Washington Times-Her-
aid, inserted in Congressional Record,
November II, 1911.
REP. MARTIN SWEENEY:
1.-THE propaganda that a Hitler vic
DRY would menace America is not
credited by any honest or well-in-
ormed American. No king or die
ator will have the means, if he had
he desires, to attempt an invasion
# the Americas. The danger to
he United States is from within,
lot from without. From an
EDITORIAL in the Gaelic American New
York;, August 81, $780, inserted in
Record Sept. 4, 1910
SENATOR HIRAM w. JOHNSON:
II cannot characterize in fit Ian
.uage the conduct of Stain. l can
lot characterize in fit language the
onduct of Hitler. AS l have said, l
would lock them both up in an ele-
ated cage and let them fight it out
We are expected to spend bill
ions in behalf of Stalin-just think
f it-billions Of dollars in behalf Of
Ir. Joe Stain; and when this war is
yer, no living soul can tell the side
e will be on. If it serves his pur-
ose, he will be on our side, and then
ow we will love him and how with
eautiful language soft and sweet we
ill talk to him. But he may be on
lie other side, and then we will have
very tough time, indeed. So if it
ere possible l would let them both
lone. "-Congressional Record, Aug.
1941.
ROBERT A. TAFT:
"Only last week Arthur Krock, the
aiding columnist of The New York
ines, seriously discussed in The
ines the proposition that the emer-
sncy might be used as an excuse for
citing aside the election of congress
1912.
II believe that if we choose to de-
nd the United States on the line of
10 Atlantic and Pacific oceans it is
impossible for Hitler or anyone
Sc to attack us that there will not
zen be an attempt to make such an
tack. i. The threat of an attack by
itler is, and always has been,
lgaboo to scare the American people
to war. -.
There is much less danger from
itler today than there was two years
20; certainly much less than there
as one year ago."-From a speech
fore Ohio Federation of Republican
omen's Organizations; inserted in
,ngressional Record Sept. 25, 1941.
