DISGRUNTLED LEADERS
Recently a statement on the war situation was
Issued by a group of eminent gentlemen including
f former President of the United States, Herbert
Hoover, a former Vice-President, Charles E. Dawes
and a former Republican Presidential nominee, Al
Brea M London The statement called upon Congress
but a stop to step by step projection of the
United States into undeclared war.” The purpose of
the declaration was to undermine public confidence
in President Roosevelt's handling of foreign policy
Under normal circumstances, it might "be as-
sumed that the publication of this document, CATTY-
Ing such an array of imposing names, would create
8 tremendous stir in public opinjon. Yet, it caused
hardly a ripple, Many prominent newspapers car-
ried the views of Messrs Hoover-Dawes-Landon et
al without caring to comment on them editorially
Those newspapers which did comment editorially
were rather harsh in giving their appraisal, The
public generally showed a profound indifference to
what these worthy gentlemen had to say.
Ironically, the most scathing criticism of this
Republican manifesto came from newspapers which
im the past have been unfriendly to many policies
of the Roosevelt Administration. Said the tradition-
ally Republican New York Herald-Tribune, under the
title “Misreading History":
“Seldom has a more misguided action done a
Worse disservice to the Republican Party . All
patriotic Republicans will agree to this and repud-
ate as hopelessly unrepresentative a document
redolent of old grudges, designed to create a divi-
sion, among whose sponsors not one today can speak
for the party.”
The Baltimore Sun, Ind. Democratic, was even
more caustic. Under the heading “It Doesn't Make
Bense,” the Sun sald: “The statement on the war
situation issued for former Gov. Frank O. Lowden.
of Illinois, with the support of Mr. Hoover, Mr. Lan-
don and a number of other well-known men, reads
as though it hall been written for a session of the
Saturday Evening debating society which was to
give its attention to a war on another planet or, at
least, ancther century. You take certain promises,
from them you proceed to certain conclusions and
you bother your opponents in a technical debating
sense, regardless of the facts that are plain before
everyone's eyes.”
This unkindly reception of their cherished opin-
ions must have come as a deep disillusionment to Mr.
Hoover, Mr. Landon and some of their co-signers
who have never been known to underrate tfeir
own importance in the nation's pelitical life. Per-
haps after all they invited such a display of hostile
newspaper opinion and public apathy. The manifesto
simply served to show how completely these gentle-
men have lagged behind public opinion in apprais-
ing the current course of world events.
e vast majority of Americans, regardless of
political affiliation, are pretty well convinced that
President Roosevelt has done a man-sized job in di-
recting foreign policy under trying circumstances.
The upbuilding of national defense, the furnishing
of needed supplies to England and her Allies, the
refusal to be cowed by Hitler's bellicose rantings
are the major steps in Administration pol-
icy which have come pretty close to expressing the
real attitude of patriotic Americans.
The management of foreign policy should never
be n in the political sense. President Roose-
veit has kept this thought in mind since the present
crisis got under way and has acted accordingly. The
public must decide whether the signers of the Re-
publican pact were motivated by the same lofty im-
pulse. Thus far the answer is an emphatic “no”,
Farmers should beware of inflation. In the end

Less than three months ago the most serious
problem facing the United States and England was
the success of the Germans in sinking ships, ships
making up England's Atlantic life<line. In fact, the
Germans were sinking ships over twice ns fast as

them, Then came the Russian war and this clash

THE WAR ON ROOSEVELT
Charles Lindbergh spoke at Cleveland the other
evening. It was a long speech, Its purport was that
the President of the United States and other high-
ranking government officials are engaged in a con-
spiracy to create war “incidents” and Involve this
country In war, Sald Lindbergh:
“The greatest battle for freedom is being fought
right here in America today.”
The people of the United States, ag Mr. Lind-
bergh views it, have nothing to fear from Axis ag-
gression, There is no reason why they should con-
cern themselves with the possibility of fighting the
Axis Powers. In fact, one may read the entire tran-
script of his speech without receiving any intima-
tion that such a person as Adolf Hitler exists. The
fight is against the Individuals who constitute the
duly elected and appointed governing heads of this
country
“Since this country will not enter war willingly,
they plan on creating incidents and situations which
will force us into it.” Mr. Lindbergh declared
“They” are President Roosevelt, the secretaries
of State, War and Navy, the Chief of Staff of the
Army, the Chief of Naval Operations—the men re-
sponsible for this nation’s foreign policy and its de-
fense. There is not, in the entire text of the Lind-
bergh speech, a reference to any act of Adoll Hitler's
A visitor from Mars unfamiliar with world

Adolf Hitler, who had written “Mein

it was C 1 Hull who had brought Italy and Ja-
pan into alliance with the Reich to bring about this
new world order!
He would suppose that it was Stimson who was

This country links British and Russian forces,
opens up a railroad line of supply from the Persian

the blockade by cascading from the Caucasus over-
land to India and the open seas.
Many Other Encouraging Factors
There are other encouraging developments from
the standpoint of those fighting the Axis:
(1) The unfailing signs of rebellion brewing
among the discontented peoples of conquered na-

raign to win tl
tions
gr The brightening outlook of the Battle of
the Atlantic where British shipping is not suffering
as heavy losses
(3) ‘The stiffened attitude of Great Britain and
the United States toward Japan, especially evident
in the shipment of war supplies through the waters
of Japan to Soviet Russia,
(4) The increasing importance of supplies from
the United States, which is fast reaching the point
where it can ship huge volumes of needed material
(5) The heavy losses recently suffered by Axis
shipping which has been using the water route from
the Baltic to the coast of northern Europe in in-
creasing numbers
Plainly the fight against Hitler is gathering
momentum which represents the first results of the
spectacular resistance that the Red army has of-
fered to Naz: armies. Despite initial gains and the
occupation of much territory, the Germans seem
no nearer to a knockout decision than they were
some weeks ago and British officers, who have vis-
ited the front lines of battle, give encouraging re-
ports of the situation on the central battiefront be-
fore Moscow
Vision of Victory Delights Axis Enemies
For the first time since Hitler menaced the
world there is in sight an abundance of supplies and
sufficient manpower to thwart his plans and event-
ually overthrow his regime,
The millions of soldiers available to the Soviet,
plus the abundance of supplies from the United
States, provide the basis of the better picture that
appears. Unless some startling German coup nulli-
fies this combination
brave determination of the British empire, fighting
hard with its fleet and air force, to prevent Nazi
domination of the earth.
The increasing aerial attack upon German trans-
portation, industrial and manufacturing centers,
end the effective bombing of military and naval
places, represent a new phase of the war to the
Nazis. There is every reason to expect intensified
bombing as nights lengthen and American bombers
get into action.
Upon the high seas the British blockade cone
tinues to exert inexorable pressure. Slowly, but stire-
iy, its coils tighten the economic grip upon the im-
portation of supplies that must arrive if the Nazi
effort is to be jong maintained.
Many events can happen to shatter this bright
outlook for eventual defeat of Hitler, such ag the
full-fledged participation of France, the entry of
Japan into the war, the collapse of Russian resist-
ance and, last but not least, the resurgence of isoia-
tionism in the United States to seriously interfere
with the flow of supplies to the nations fighting ag-
gression.
