The World in RerieW
Pren1ier7Iails-U P S.-Britlsh= Unity
BY MAJ. GEN. DAVID PRESCOTT BARROWS
California


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
spoken. Inevitably. he 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 us, submits its counsels
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 single
nation
Nothing like this occurred in the last war
or in any previous war
THEN, Mr.. Churchill queried can we afford
to break up this combined machinery
after this war is over?
Must we mot hesitate TO let go of the
security we have found i'll 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 consulta-
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 a combined staff, and utilizing
combined military strength to assure the
detectives of the war and of the peace which
follows.
I JUDGE that this would require some
what different type Of organization.
II would require the work of a great
staff no longer strictly military but com
prisng 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
The results Of such consultation, the
recommendations or counses, would be sub
mtted for ratification not solely TO the
executive heads of Great Britain and the
United States but to the parliaments Of
Great Britain and the dominons, and to the
Congress of the United ,StatesA
Allied combined chiefs of staff, and their
associates, who have learned under the stern
necessity OF war TO 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.

" effected soieiy-by executive under.
standings.
Seemingly, both nations have confidence
in this arrangement, but while it sufhces,
perhaps for the war il would not be sufficient,
for, let us say, 16-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 l 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 a
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
alliance with Great Britain and the domnons.
THE strength behind Mr.. Churchills propo-
stion is its common sense. 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 "superstate' to which we
would transfer our sovereignty.
The other alternative is 10 make an
alliance, revocable, Of course under proper
conditions, and for 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.
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 he-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.
Eff fre-say5- finally, that While I 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
any other machinery involving other states,
such an alliance need -nnt-bleek- A broader
alliance.
II would be workable combination,
precedent, possibly, 90 a larger combination.
1t would be the core of new international
machinery in a future which, as he said,
will be either world anarchy or world

And it is not within the intention or the COM
prehenSion of Nh 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
vi the fact that twice in my lifetime, the long
arm of destiny has reached across the ocean and
involved the entire fife and manhood of the United
States in deadly struggle
We should resign ourselves 20 this as an
inevitable and permanent condition, he seems to
suggest. since the long arm reaches out remorSe-
lessly"
There has always been an attitude Of mind
IN England thai The EngISh-Spealling world is
strictly and securely and unchangeaby ENG
LANDS WORLD --
1t has especially been an unchanging attitude
of mind in ENGLAND that the United States is an
eStranged member Of the British family, always
to be depended upon in crisis and ultimately to
be depended upon for return to the fold
Mr.. CHURCHILL mquestionably and frankly
NJ has that attitude Of mind. and spoke II freely
at the Harvard convocaton.
Mr.. Churchill went to eteat=IeHet4S= TO point
out to us the likenesSeS between the English people
and England's system of government and the
American people and our system Of government.
But he did NOT mention the great differences
and divergences
the United States-anpft established by two world
WarS-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
they are of different race and essentially different
tradition, government and political purpose.
For Prime Minister Churchill, therefore, to
ask us to amalgamate is as prepoSteronS- 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 rei iected the absurd idea.
Now 7rC are asked to take the bait of COM
mon country" which means nothing unless it
means that the L. S. 4. would become PART OF
THE BRITISH EMPIRE.
NGR CHURCHILL said he did not know whether
wi this alliance, with the offer Of the keys Of
London 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 harping on it.
And that is because we are still the great, indie
pendent SELF-DETERNIINING DEMOCRACY
OF THE WORLD and anything that affects our
future status in the world cannot be settled by
the prime minister Of England while blithey re-
ceiving degree of doctor of laws at Harvard
University.

profitable to Great Britan-shall continue after
the war To the still greater profit Of England.
And he earnestly admonisheS us NOT TO
LET IT BE A PARTY QUESTION IN THE
UNITED STATES
In perfectly plain words, Mr. Churchill as
SUTes us that ii has been entirely acceptable to
Britain and Mr.. Churchill for us to construct and
deliver the equipment for mechanical warfare and
the arplanes that have given England supremacy
in the air over Africa and over Europe
And it will be perfectly acceptable to England
for the United States to continue to make sacrifices
and to subsdize England after we shall have won
the war for Great Britain and saved the British
Empire
MIR. CHURCHILL, who never won a battle until
INl the United States got into the war, is willing
that the United States shall continue to subsidize
and protect England and feels that the United
States should fully realize its responsibilities"
Mr.. Churchill even suggests that if we dill
gently meet all his expectations and specifications
we might at some time as a special favor, be
allowed to have COMMON CITIZENSHIP with
the British.

will, an impalpable influence, with
our moral character. needless of
history. Crashing back to demolish
such silly notions comes the over
whelming message that echoes from
the burning bush, II AM THAT I
AM"
Whence Came Jehovah?
The highbrow critics, who are
fond of putting a modern conjec-
ture ahead of plain scriptural
statement, have developed a theory
which is even presented in some
theological seminaries, that Jehovah
was the tribal god of the Edomites
and was introduced to Moses by
Jethro. Thus, suppose. they would
change the old hymn, THE God of
Abraham Praise" to "The God OF
Moses Father-in-law Praise"
Persons who get their religion
from the Bible, rather than from
addle-pated modernists, know that
the record Is clear and explicit.
Repeatedly the Voice which spoke
from the burning bush declared, as
in our lesson text, Thou shalt
say unto the children of Israel,
Jehovah, the God of your fathers,
the God Of Abraham, the God of
Isaac, the God of Jacob, hath sent
me unto you" Jehovah is no
adapted or adopted deity: He is
the eternal and everything God
the infinite Person who stresses
His personality by the lofty 81
am" Jesus later went a step fur
ther in asserting the personality
Of God by calling Him Father.
Such was the great Ally of Moses
and Israel in their struggle for
freedom. and such is the Ally on
whose side we fight today, for the
vindication of the clear truths He
has taught us. Cruelty, oppression
injustice are as odious to God today
as they were $500 years ago when
the Israelites were wailing in sub.
lection to Egypts taskmasters
Again He has declared a day OF
deliverance.
