POLITICAL PARADE
By George Rothwell Brown

IF PRESIDENT TRUMAN had
Il said the other day that the
American people were TO blame
for Pearl Harbor, because like
a lot of gullible suckers they
believed everything F. d. Roose-
velt told them, he might have
made out a stronger case.
From the time Roosevelt
made his quarantine speech at
the dedication of a Chicago
bridge, down to Yalta, his
policy was one of secrecy and
deceit.
Pearl Harbor was the inevi-
table Consequence of this
studied deception.
In 1910 Roosevelt was in a
dilemma. He could not bear TO
become a private citizen in the
obscurity of Hyde Park. with
the war still raging. and Win
ston Churchill still at the head
Of the British government.
But the two-term tradition,
established by Washington,
stood in his way. He must
break that precedent. How TO
do IT,
IT WAS clear that the Ameri-
L can people, so or 80 per cent
OF them, were opposed 10 en-
tering the war. Roosevelt saw
that the only way he could be
reelected for a third term was
10 make them believe that he
could, and would, keep them
out.
He made his famous pledge.
that American boys would not
be sent TO fight in foreign
countries. At Boston he added
this significant weasel word"
phrase, as #. r. would have
called H.. Except in case of
attack" Enough gullible people
believed him 10 assure his re-
election.
After this third-term victory
Roosevelt was haunted by this
solemn promise 10 the American
people.
Unless there should be an at
tack, there would be no declara-
tion of war by Congress. and
Roosevelt knew il. That he was
nevertheless anxious 20 get into
the shooting war there can be
no doubt.
Winston Churchill joined
Roosevelt in the policy of de-
ceit. In radio address beamed
10 the United States, he assured
the American people that if they
would furnish the tools" Bri-
tain would do the job. That was
his solemn promise. How sincere
ii was our casualty lists from
the battletelds of Europe attest.
