iSOLATIONISM IS A
THING OF THE PAST
Isolationism is dead.

Isolationism is dead.
Not long ago there were many isolation
lists. Today, it is hard to find a single
one
Whether to be an "isolationist' was a
common problem right up until Pearl
Harbor Today all doubt is gone. Be-
fore World War l, the whole country
was isolationist. After that war, isolo-
tionism became an issue, with Woodrow
Wilson leading the new advocates of
more active participation with the rest of
the world
Now that we have been drawn for the
second time into world war-even more
worldwide than the first-there remains
no doubt but that this is a small world,
that we live in very confined neighbor-
hood of nations and since there is no es-
cape to other planets, we might as we'll
settle down and get acquainted with,
deal with, work with and perforce play
politics with those in the midst of whom
we exist
There merely isn't any way out of it,
and everybody knows it, be they Republi-
can, Democrat or whatnot.
Whatever doubts that remained in the
minds of some people following Pearl
Harbor have been washed away con-
sciously by the Western Hemisphere pol
icy, or our sympathy with China, or
WILKES book which has reached sale
of million copies; or the doubts have
disappeared in the solvent of our world
wide war operations our inter-allied de-
pendence, and the realization that while
one war doesn's necessarily mean we must
forget isolationisnl, two wars are evil
dence that we can't hide away from the
world any longer
Yes, isolationism is dead.
Requiescat in pace.

He rejects utterly the opinion OF
Justice Douglas that, once a court
in an ex parte proceeding has as
sumed, for lack OF contrary evi-
dence, an applicants adherence to
American principles, thereafter there
can be no question of error.
No wonder the other five justices
had to write three opinions, among
them, to explain their rejection OF
Justice Stones compelling dissent.

Justice Stone assumes, and sure
~ nobody will challenge, that the
principles of our Constitution at
least include freedom of speech, OF
the press, the privileges OF life,
liberty and property, the right to
representative government, the
duty to obey Constitutional laws.
All of these the Communist Party,
at the time when Schneiderman
worked in and for it and became
an American citizen by naturaliza-
tion, denied, worked against and
said must be destroyed by prole-
tartan resort to armed uprising.
How, Justice Stone wonders,
could any man exhibit attachment
to the principles Of the Constitu-
ton and at the same time teach.
as vocation and avOcation, the
doctrine that those principles must
be destroyed?

to sustain their war effort.

these areas to maximum capacity to

German Press Admits

In Men and Materials
Superiority Conceded
To Explain Reverses
On Eustern Front
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERN, Switzerland, Jan. 20.-The
Nazi press in endeavoring to ex-
plain the German reverses on the
eastern front is admitting the su-
periority of Russian resources and
material.
The Berlin correspondent of the
Neue zuericher zeitung quoted the
Voelkischer Beobachter, Adolf Hit
ler's newspaper, as telling the Ger
mans at home that they should
see how difficult is the fighting on
the eastern front"
The Russians. the newspaper said,
have more soldiers, more guns and
more tanks than a year ago"
Tragic Outcome Predicted.
Under the heading THE Tragedy
Of Stalingrad," the Basler Mach
richten said the show in that sec
tor might have a few more scenes
but it was the last act and "the
tragic outcome for the Germans
could no longer be doubted"
The newspaper said the Germans
now must reckon with the loss of
more than 20 divisions and with q
defeat greater than any suffered in
this war They will recover from
this defeat, it said, as their adver-
saries have from their defeats, but
it will cost them more.
The newspaper explained that in
oh -,oI
the Allies have greater reserves than
the Axis nations. Russian man
power, it said, is more than twice
Germany's and therefore the loss
of 20 divisions by the Germans "is
twice as serious as it would be for
the Russians"

WASHINGTON, Jan. A. R)
A Navy report on the effect
iveness with which one Amer
lean battleship destroyed Japa-
nese airplanes and men-o-war in
two great battles last fall open
ed q new chapter today in the
grim story of naval warfare in
the Pacific.
The results of the two en-
gagements were regarded by
adherents of the big battlewag-
ons as proof that they could
Withstand severe attacks by air
and deliver telling blows by
night despite the handicaps
which darkness imposes on long
range battling at sea.
One highly placed officer
who could not be quoted by
name, predicted that future en-
Ragements in the Pacific would
see much greater use of battle
ships, especially at night when
they are relatively free of in
reference from enemy planes
and able to devote themselves
entirely to offensive purposes.

Buy US bonds, SO that factories

For that is really all we need
To win this war and end our
greed"
