tunity passes, for the offer is
made out Of recognition that the
nation cannot continue to stand
alone. If 1t fails to get an al
lance in one quarter, 1t will seek
one in another.
This is the first time In British
history that Britain has offered
an alliance of indefinite duration
to any power of even comparable
world Importance with herself.
The British alliance with Russia
has another character; it is of
limited duration, and restricted
to European purposes. 1t is not
an alliance for permanent CO.
operative action in large portions
of the globe, as in the offer OF the
Prime Minister to us.
In its ultimate meaning, Britain
offers to us that we share, from
now on, the advantages, oppor-
tunities and responsibilities of
the British world association,
which, from the end OF the Napo-
leonic wars to the First World
War, was the greatest stablizing
factor on earth, strong enough to
prevent any worldwide wars.
Britain. during the period OF
her undisputed power, intervened
little in the affairs of other ma
tions, or, in the wars of other
nations. But all nations had to
recognize the possibility OF her
intervention, and know that
where she would throw her
weight would determine the out
come.
Not Strong Enough Alone.
Isolationism in this high
period was also a British policy.
1t was called Splendid Iso-
lation." 1t was not the isola-
tionism Of a nation building up
an infant state, but the Isolation
ism of a wary watchman, inter-
ested and taking responsible
tiles everywhere, with the object
of preventing history from taking
course unfavorabie to herself,
rather than waiting to see.
But in the last generation
Britain has been forced to the
realization that she is no longer
strong enough alone for this role.
Nor is any other nation.
Any alliance may have alterna-
tive purposes. We might enter
an alliance to re-establish,
jointly with Britain, a policy of
splendid isolation and arbitra-
ton through balance of power.
Or we might enter it for the
purpose of laying the foundations
OF a worldwide organization Of
nations.
The alliance, as such, is essen
tial to either development. A Brit
ish-American alliance, with the
bridgehead through Britain to
Russia, and through America to
China, is the only way in which
we can begin again, with power
and realism, to create a genuine
League of Nations, with tangible
power.
Since Mr.. Churchill quoted Bis
marck may be permitted to re-
call that he described politics as
the art of possibilities" AL
though a British American al
lance does not encompass the
kind of world organization that
many Of us hope for, it is immedi-
ately possible and once created
would give us merged political as
we'll as military strength.
1t should be remembered that
1t is as much a departure for
Britain as for us.

pOllS, with Dorothy Thompson.
the rank and file of Republican
party members, anticipated Mr..
Churchill's speech by advocating
a permanent military alliance
with Britain.
AS alliances, under our form
OF government, can only be made
with the advice and consent of
the Senate, it is fitting that this
question should be settled by the
leadership of our two great par
ties.
The idea of permanent al
lance Is new in American his
tory, Isolationism has been the
American tradition ever since
the Farewell Address of WASH
ington, who was anxious to dis
solve the alliance with France.
Washingtons purpose, in advo-
eating the dissolution of the
French alliance, was to open
the way for re-esta blishing,
as rapidly as possible, the best
possible terms with Britain, con-
tinuing peace with whom, he and
his adviser Alexander Hamilton,
recognized as essential to Ameri-
can security. After the unfor-
tunate war of 1912, and the es-
taplishment of the Monroe Doc
trine which was possible only
with Britain's assistance, the
epoch began which has lasted
for over a century, made possible
the identification of the Cana
dian border, and assured the in
dependence o. all the I.llt. .can
States, North and South.
Our isolationism, therefore,
for the past hundred years, has
been protected by Britain. It was
the isolationism of a new coun-
try, enabling us to concentrate
on the development of a conti-
nent while Britain assured for
us the freedom of our seaways
and trade routes.
Reach New Stage.
Now we have reached a new
stage, in which we are no longer,
of necessity, dependent on the
protection of another seapower.
We have been for years poten-
TALLY as strong as Britain, and in
the course of this war have be-
come materially stronger.
Whenever two great powers
reach state of approximate
equality the question arises: Shall
they go into competition, or shall
they merge their efforts, at least
for limited purposes, such as
common defense?
The moment when such ques-
ton is asked openly is crucial.
1t indicates that we have arrived
at point of decision. History
proves that when an alliance is
offered by great power. and the
offer is repudiated, the oppor-

their part in the fight against
what has now become the COM
mon foe will be appreciated by
the American people chiefly be-
cause so many Of our soldiers
have been saved.
The surrender and the likeli-
hood that 4 good portion Of the
Italian armies supplied by the
Allies will fight the Nazis will
necessarily compel the German
high command to rush as many
troops as it can to Southern
Europe.
None of the Nazi forces In
Western Europe can be moved.
On the contrary, there is every
indication that reserves are being
rushed to France and the Low
lands not only to increase the
strength of the army Of occupa-
ton against an Allied invasion.
but also to be able to cope quickly
with insurrectionist movements.
German troops have to be
rushed into the Balkans. Some
II Italian divisions have been
IN Yugoslavia and Greece. These
will be either disarmed by the
Nazis or will attempt to fight
the Nazis whenever they are IN a
position to do so.
Washington quarters estimate
that the German high command
must rush at least 10 new divi-
sions into that area to keep the
guerillas from disrupting the
lines Of communication and face
an eventual attempt Of the Allies
to land either in Greece or on
the Adriatic coast.
Further Withdrawal Seen.
At least 20 new divisions will
have to be sent to Southern
France and into the Alps. These
areas, held in the past by the
Italians, must be strongly REIN
forced. Having assumed COM
plete control of the Mediter-
ranean,. the Allies now can at
tempt a landing in Southern
France and the Nazis must have
their forces so strong and we'll
distributed that they can meet
any threat.
Hitler is said to realize that his
European fortress Is no longer
1mpregnable. He needs large
forces to defend a front extend
Ing from Norway to the Turkish
borders. Competent military
quarters consider 200 divisions
as the very minimum required to
defend the European fortress.
Hitler does not have this
number Of troops in his reserve
pool In the Reich or in the va
rious portions Of Europe under
German occupation. Necessarily
he will be compelled to withdraw
them from the Russian front.
This explains to a certain ex-
tent the rapid withdrawal of the
Nazi forces in Russia. It has
become increasingly doubtful
whether the Nazis will try and
defend the Dneiper line. Every
thing indicates that they will
soon evacuate the whole of the
Ukraine and withdraw to the
Dneister and possibly to the old
Russian German frontier behind
the Vistula.

chicken with its clothes on are
raising them. Rather. they are try
ing to raise them.
They are trying to raise them in
some Of the strangest places, too.
People with backyard no bigger
than a blanket have upwards Of so
chickens, clucking and whamming
into each other in desperate effort
to get breath Of air, much less a
place to scratch. Others have
turned their chickens out to Craze
in the front yard, and still others
have converted spare rooms in their
houses into combination incubators
and chicken runs.
Chickens are undoubtedly Just as
patriotic as eagles. They have the
good of the country at heart, I am
sure. Certainly no history book I
have ever read contained so much
as one line concerning q chicken
being tried for treason.
But a chicken is still q chicken.
A chicken has to have some ground
to pick at, some DUST to rufie its
feathers in. Take the rooster. To
be a sef-respecting rooster he must
nave strutting room. Take the hen.
10 be self-respecting hen, a hen
must have some running room. Take
the chick. How can he grow up to
frying size with any pride unless he
is raised in place large enough to
chip-chip-chip along behind his
mother with his brothers and sis
ters?
Frankly, I think we are asking too
much Of the chickens at the moment.
A chicken just can't change its en-
tire mode Of living, no matter how
global the warfare becomes. You
can promise a chicken an "E" for

now amateur poultrymen, and I am
waiting for the day when they have
TO take setting hen of the nest.
When I was boy that was one of
my jobs. There are few meaner
JOBS than that. Ordinarily. a hen
is a peaceful critter, q harmless
bunch OF wings and feathers, but
when she decides to set, and man
decides she mustn't set, she gets
tough. Approach her nest and her
feathers take on the qualities OF
porcupine quills. Her hen voice,
normally q gentle cluck, reaches the
pitch OF a siren. Her eyes blaze
and she shuf1es her feet like a
boxer. have setting hen scars
from my wrist to my shoulder. If
there is such thing as the poultry
mems purple heart, I should have
had 1t.
The amateur poultryman ALWAYS
falls IN love with his chickens. He
names them. He knows their little
personalities, and, while he doesn't
feed them properly or give them
a decent place to frolic, he treats
the mas pets. AS a result, when
they grow up and are ready for the
skillet, he can't bear to kill them
or eat them. Most of the chickens
raised by my friends are going to
die of old age.
Chickens don't make for good
conversation, either. Let a man get
a chicken or two and he will bore
you to death with his talk of how
they must be fed. watered, exer-
cised, and cuddled. Personally, I
would rather do with fewer eggs
and drumsticks and have a more
lively conversation.
To talk turkey is one thing. To
talk chickens is another.
