uation that Great Britain,

longer Inc dom'oaiing politi-
cal factor in Europe. We our
selves upon our return in the
far Of l945 from a study Of
the economic and political sit
uation IN Europe pointed out
this fact both in Congress and
in speeches at home. The Brit
ish empire is in process of dis
integfation. Russia on the
Other hard emerged from that
conflic., in spite Of the serious
damage to her own land and
econnmy. as the new giant of
the Old world and has ever
since thc surrender of the Japs
and Germans been intent up
on a Dolicy Of expansion and
aggression. She has taken adj
vantage Of the weakened con-
dition of Great Britain, who
prior to the wa was the great
European barrier against the
spread of communism, and her
knowledge of the fact that
America is a peace-loving ma
ton.
Effect Of Decision
The effect Of the American
decision to or not to step in
to the affairs Of Europe to the
extent necessary to- stor fur
thcr Russian aggression is
therefore most mamentous.
Like all other important probs
lens which confront a people
this one has two sides. 1t ean
be argued, for instance, that if
America embarks on this world
policY il will lead eventually
TO ano. her world war-a war
between Americ9 and Russia,
II ean also be argued that
America, as wealthy as she is,
cannot financially afford to
adopt such a policy because of
the strain on its own economy
that such an undertaking
would bring about.
On the other hand the argu-
ment can be forcefulllv adj
vanced that if America does
not come to the assistance to
these email strategic countries
upon which Russia is now
wagIng a war of nerves and
economic aggression the whole
of Europe, Asia, and for that
matter South America and the
rest of the world, will become
the Vietime of Russian aggre-
sion and the resultant world
wide apread of communism. II
also is argued that there is no
difference between Hitler and
Stain totalitarianism. And that
unless We come tn the aid of
these oppressed countries nov
the sacrifice in blood and
money which we made to de-
strov German aggression will
have been in vain if we are
now to permit Russian aggres-
sion Ia take its place. Verify,
the decision is an important
one, and upon it NAV we'll hang
the future peace of the world
for the next 100 years.

When one stops to realize that
each one Of those cars and trucks
costs hundreds of dollars and that
they are expensive things to main

there must be a wide distribution
of wealth to make possible such a

instances are items of luxury.
Oh, yes, we have grown so used to
our cars that we feel they have be-

But il was only a comparatively
few years ago that they did not
exist and people were able to live
and enjoy life without them, and
businesses, large and small, got a.

fact, we are glad of them. We mere
ly wish to use it as an evidence

Where else will one find thousands
