But Russia is deliberately and
ruthlessly banishing Poland from

And the silence and inaction of

of the crime against Poland and
make them share the responsibility

But Russia should be made to

The American policy of silence

Is ISOLATION possible IN a
world Of science and ever
expanding technology II We
isolate ourselves politically can
we carry on an international
economy?
To these questions the ans
wers lie in Theodore Roosevelts
big stick and the oracular power
of our government to sec into
the future and Ito understand
the coming of the new COM
merce.
As the progress Of trans
portation evolves and the air
lanes become clogged with
world traffic the earth will be
circumvented in matter Of
hours. This overwhelming revo-
luton Of transportation will in
terrelate and sweep the econo-
mics of the whole world into
its orbit.
The governments OF national
list or islolationiSts politics Will
best sustain themselves in the
new era of transport. BY be-
ing neighbors who mind their
own business and look upon the
world through the eyes of the
realist, by doing this they will
first contribute 10 their own
nation and then 10 all nations
For the ideals OF a nation
ARE their own ideals, built from
the heritage and sovereignty of
that nation. II is for these rea-
sons that they must keep their
politics at home.
