7 THOUGHT the Atlantic
L Charter was just memos
scrubbed on the backs of en-
velopes and handed TO a radio
operator. The President re-
Gently gave that impression. 1t
seems to be policy to let that
document die, because 1t is an
impeachment TO some things that
need to be done.
But the President, In his an
nual message to Congress, re-
wives the ghost. Now we can
ignore what he said at a press
conference which is unofficial,
and even may be vaudeville
and devote ourselves to a mes
sage to Congress which is Of
fetal. and of formidable ira
dition. Mr.. Roosevelt says:
g. At the time certain iso-
lationists protested vigorously
against our right to proclaim
the principles-and against the
very principles themselves. To-
day many Of the same people
are protesting against the pos
sibility Of violation of the same
principles"
Those whom Mr.. Roosevelt
calls isolationists were right
then, and are right now. The
paradox Ii not theirs; Il II his.
II was definitely wrong for the
President of . neutral country,
as the United States then was,
TO meet the premier of . bell
ligerent on the latter's battle
ship to set up the terms Of
peace In . war of which the
Presidents country was not .
participant.
CINCE then, our country has
~ gone to war by a declara-
ton by the Congress, which
binds every American to that
war whatever his. personal
opinion. I wonder il, Mr.. Roose-
welt asks himself how many So
called isolationists enlisted In
war services since Dec. z, 1941,
and how many have given their
sons TO their country.
Now, the second part OF the
paradox. A country must fight
for a cause. What II our cause?
All we have is this Atlantic
Charter, inadequate as il Is. To
me, it is better than nothing.
II does pursue the funda-
mentally traditional American
policy that every people has a
right to select its own govern
ment.
Certainly no American can
oppose that statement of Amer
lean policy in the Atlantic
Charter. IL II were included as
a preamble to the Dumbarton
Oaks agreement, the American
people would have more conf
dence in that document.
THEREFORE,, when thos e
Il whom Mr.. Roosevelt calls
isolationists opposed the ATTAIN
tic Charter, they were correct
and they are correct now when
they say this is all we have OF
war aims. II raises the ques-
ton of what right Stain has 10

Then l was able TO persuade
him to spend 10 days with me
after he left the hospital, and
10 my great surprise he told
me Cd he had given up the
religion OF his birth, having
become interested in a strange
cult. and ~ that he really did
love me and wanted me to stay
with him.
However, he criticized me
constantly and said he believed
marriage should be an ideal"
relationship. without any ex-
preston of physical love.
He further said he expected
me 10 support him and ex-
pressed no regret az the pros
pect, nor did he evince any
desire to make something Of
himself when he regains his
strength.
DEAR Il. IL.
I SUGGEST that you have a
i right TO set asideVthe legal
ties that bind.
II seems TO me il would be
worse than futile 10 remain
with him.
AS would-be mother, your
first responsibility 10 children
is 10 give them a reliable father
who cordially welcomes their
advent, and is physically COM
petent and ambitiously disposed

thankfully and retrieve your
mistake.

Some wore infantry braid and
some wore artillery red, and
some others that ! didn't recog-

wearing new clothes that had
