United States Silent
On Postwar Policy
BY BENJAMIN DE CASSERES

Is the United States to have any voice at all in the
settlement of grave international questions?
These are two vital questions that every American
jealous of the dignity and prestige of his country must be
asking himself
WE desire after this
Americans are dependent on Churchill and Stain to
tell not only what fighting for but for actual
news of what is going on automatically in Europe
Prime Minister Churchill has just for the third or
fourth time told the people of England and America what
is happening on all fronts.
The other day he informed Americans in detail of the
relations of the Allied nations (which, it getting
what hard to believe includes the United States to
Turkey, Italy, Spain, Greece and Russia.
Nothing, nothing, nothing has from Washing
ton on these subjects so vital to u.s.
DUT MOST remarkable of all in Prime Minister
- Churchlls last speech the revelation of this plan
for postwar action, which condense:
The plan for world order is council and assembly,
but peacekeeping force must be concentrated in the
former and both bodies to be founded fraterna
associations" between the British Commonwealth and the
United States and between Great Britain and Russia for
the continent.
Note that according to Prime Minister Churchill, we
to be part of Council" an assembly" or a
fraternal association and that further Great Britain
and Russia to have "fraternal associations all to
themselves the continent of Europe
How smugy and with what assurance told
what WE going to do!
Does Congress- does Secretary Hull, does President
Roosevelt know anything about this postwar council
this assembly ssal these "rasns assoeations
taken into their confidence?
And if Congress- Secretary Hull and the President
know nothing OF these plans together with what England
and Russia doing in Spain Turkey Greece etc. isn't
it time that the of the country Congress does not
rouse ITSELF should demand to know WHY they know
nothing?
. USSIA has policy" and she has broadcast it to
all the world. 1t is to communze Europe and part
of Asia.
Britain has policy.
1t is to See in the words of Mr. Churchill that no
part of the British Empire shall be "iquidated'
BUT WE HAVE NO POLICY.
We allow London and Moscow to dish it out" to us
and the administration swallows it all with open mouth
Without help in men, money and industrial
production both England and Russia would have gone to
the wall
Without help Australia and New Zealand would
today be in Japan's hands.
IS the United States that should be the leader of this
/ colossal global job, Stain admitted when
he said, ut is American production that has the
war
Why then, do sit back and let England and
Russia dictate?
That is most humiating to a nation and a
people
Why don't get the news direct from the White
House and the state department of what the Allies are
doing and what they propose to do?
Why does all news-indeed, it might be said why do
all the ORDERS-come from London and Moscow?
Is it because our postwar policy will be to GIVE ALL
and receive NOTHING?
Is postwar policy to be the as it after
demands to dsarm orders from abroad and to PAY,
PAY PAY while the world calls us Uncle Shyock"?
Are Russia and England cooperating with us or
telling u.s.?
