UNLIKELY The stubborn and heroic defense of the British Empire, which has aroused the admiration of mili tary men. throughout the world, has given the Unit~ ad States a full year in which to implement its de- fense program. From a position, almost: hopeless to meet a threatened danger, we have prepared to meet any reasonable present contingency What we will have to confront, however, will re- main uncertain until the war in Europe ends, and consequently, it continues to be necessary lor the nation to subordinate every activity to complete preparation for full-scale warfare, Army For Hemisphere Defense The possible use of American soldiers against Naz! troops depends, in our opinion, upon two pos- sibilities: (1) The complete defeat of the British Army with the occupation of the British Isles and the utter disintegration of the British Empire; and (2) the development of the war into a hopeless dead- lock, with Germany unable to achieve victory over the British and the British unable to foresee, with 8ny reasonable degree of expectancy, prospects of defeating Germany and Italy. Considering these possibilities, the people of this country are thoroughly agreed that the Army, Navy and air forces of this country should be emploved to defend the Western Hemisphere, In this case, our soldiers would be actively engaged in defending this country and there are few Americans who, faced with the choice, would prefer surrender to resolute resistance to protect our people and preserve their complete independence Deadlock in Europe Possible If the war in Europe should develop into a hope- less deadlock, without the direct particioation of this country, it is probable that Great Britain, aided an assisted by the flow of supplies from the United States, would continue its naval blockade of Europe and attempt to wear down the Nazi organization through a long and desultory war of attrition, im. plemented by vicious aerial attacks designed to de- stroy the productive power of the industrial plants of the enemies This course, it is believed, could result in an eventual victory for the British Empire but at a terrific cost to Europe and the world, as well. If such & deadlock occurs and a long war is in prospect, the the come a battle of machines rather than the stark struggle of man, No New A. E. F. Visualized Al this stage of the war, however, it seems high- ly improbable, even under the worst possible con- tingency, that the United States will ever attempt to transport to Europe any army that will approach the size of the expeditionary forces of the first world War. At the most, we would contribute a mechanized contingent, armed and motored as no army has ever been in the history of the world. Air- planes, tanks and guns would speak for the United States In overwhelming numbers and some of them would undoubtedly be flown, driven and fred by Americans This is the prospect, as we see it twenty-four vers after the first American soldiers reached France in 1917. It is based upon present conditions taking into consideration future probabilities, and without “inside information” of any Kind. Russo-German Warfare The war between Russia and Germany, if it lasts long enough, might remove the last possibility of any use of American soldiers across the Atlantic Just so, it is important not to overestimate the favorable implications of the hostilities that broke out last week. If Nazi soldiers gain a quick, decisive victory over the Soviet, there is danger that Hitler will secure the supplies that he must have for a long war Moreover, a Hitler triumph might persuade the Japanese to take decisive action in the Far Bast, which might involve us Even 80, extensive Use of javal and alr forces, rather than soldiers, is indi- sated. ‘BEAT HITLER’ MAIN OBJECTIVE Not long ago, the United States, like the Brit- ish, regarded the Russians as almost equal enemies with Germany. Now that Hitler has attacked: the Soviet, which is engaged in a desperate battle against Nazi armies, the two democracies find themselves on the “same team” with Russia, Naturally, there will be strains and stresses until the new condition ad- justs itself 80 far as the United States is concerned, our policy has been announced by Sumner Welles Act- ing Secretary of State, speaking for the President Mr. Welles made it plain that between ag Communis- tic dictatorship and a Nazi dictatorship, the people of this country make no distinction and have no choice, Communism and Nazism he condemned as “in- tolerable” but nevertheless emphasized that the greatest task facing the world, including the United States, is the defeat of Hitler's attempt at world conquest. Mr. Welles asserted that the “treacherous attack upon Russia” disclosed the real purpose of Germany to acquire complete world domination Determined to resist the Nazi plan for “univer- sal conquest, for the cruel and brutal enslavement of all peoples, and for the ultimate destruction of the remaining free democracies,” which Hitler is desperately attempiing to carry out, the United States takes a realistic position, accepting “any de- fense against Hitlerism, and rallying of the forces pposing Hitlerism, from whatever source hese forces may spring.” that will hasten the downfall of Germany and therefore “redown to the benefit of our win defense ang security.” The attitudes of the British and American Gov- manents are identical, it appears, in regarding Hit- er as the main threat to world peace and security onsequently, there will be cooperation with Russia in prosecuting the war Assistance rendered the Russians, however, will be based upon interest in keeping the Slavs fighting Germany. It will be given in spite of our inability to place much dependence upon the good faith of Stalin and his associates, Russia, it will be remem- bered, fights Germany, not through choice, but through necessity, and is a reluctant and somewhat unwilling ally. Louisa’s Letter Dear Louisa: I fave an only son who has re- cently married. I have a large enough house to accommodate all of us and had expected to have him and his wife live with me, but | during the past week he has been| offered a much better paying job in another city. His wife is anxious to and he wants to go in a way, yet he hates to leave me alone, He feels that it is his duty to stay with: me.
