Vessels have been torpedoed within the American neutrality zone, far from combat areas, and there is the probability that the sinkings will increase in accordance with Hitler's proclaimed policy of torpedoing every ship that attempts to “help England.” Increase the pains of hunger and add the pain of cold and it is evident that revolts in Europe against Hitler will reach a new high this winter, But, regardless of how flerce the revolts in conquer- ed countries become Germany cannot be defeated from within. The barbarous way that the Nazis treat conquered countries and the modern weapons that they have to enforce their will, insures them of con- trol of Europe until they are subdued by an outside force. When our Isolationists hand out figures about the breakdown of Uncle Sam's production of war ma- terial, they are giving comfort to the enemy, Hitler must welcome the phoney information they give him. The time has come to be either for, or against, your own Stars and Stripes. Picking up every little straw of goseip and broadcasting it is doing our country no good. Are the i1solationists thinking more of the 1942 elections than the defeat of Hitler? Or are they just plain Hitlerites like Lindbergh? AID RUSSIA FOR U.S It might be a good idea to straight. The United States js helping the Soviet in the war against Germany, because it is to the interest of the United States to help the Soviet, We are not sending supplies to Red Russia be- couse we approve the form of government that exists in Russia. Nor should we be s0 foolish as to with- hold sid, In the war on Hitler, just because we dis- approve the kind of government the Russians have The United States is not engaged in any war to gompel the Russians to provide for complete fr in Russia, In short, it is not our business termine the style of government that the Rus- sians enjoy. .. We are not making war upon Hitler because of the form of government the Nazis give Germany. We make war on Hitler because Nazi Germany makes war, upon all free peoples and, if victorious in Eu- rope, would undoubtedly make war upon us. If Red Russia becomes a world menace, threat- to use vast military resources to conquer the , the United States would make war upon . peoples and, if victorious in Europe, would undoubtedly make war upon us, If Red Russia becomes a world menace, threat. ening to use vast military resources to conquer the world, the United States would make war upon Russia to the same extent and for the same that we ald the enemids of Hitler, not the function of the United States to . BENEFIT keep the record demand, at the point of a gun, that other peoples be given freedom, either of the press, or religion, or of the ballot box. Our safety requires, however, that we prevent any self-appointed super-race from attempt. ing to conquer the entire world Concerning ald to Russia, it should be decided solely from the standpoint of the selfish welfare of the United States, If the Red army is fighting an enemy that may be our enemy, then it Is wise for the United States to give material assistance to the Soviet, somewhat In the form of Insurance against war, RELIGIOUS FREEDOM The Polish Ambassador reports that the Soviet Government has given full cultural freedom and freedom of worship for both Christians and Jews among the Polish peoples in Russia and that the Polish Army now being formed has iis own Catholic military chaplains Commenting upon this revelation President Roosevelt points out that the Constitution of Soviet Russia protects religion and the right to propagan- dize against {t. He terms this virtually the same rule as that applied in the United States important when one realizes the extent of opposition by religious groups in this country to extending ald to the Soviet Union, The opposition Is based largely on the assertion that the Stalin Government is basically opposed to the Chris- tan religion and to other religions Naziism Anti- Religious These facts are It ought to be apparent to any existing religion that Germany, under Adolf Hitler, offers a threat to religion that is more serious than any other in the world While other governments may institute legis- lation to curb the activities of religious organiza- tions, the principles of Nazi Germany strike at the base of religion itself We are among those who swallow all the allegations that come into print about religious per- ecutions Sometimes the regulations opnosed bv organized religious groups whose interests are affected and they raise the cry that the Govern. ment is persecuting religion when, as a matter of fact, religion Is being freed from restrictions which had existed under the protection of government sanction not are are An Early American Example To make our meaning hat | to the fact that Thoma at clearer. let us Jefler ever produced in the er enmity hurch Lhe mewn call attention on one of the United States Virginia by ANNE & Ch leaders the bitt opposing greatest incurring PeCDIE iurch and ped smpion of The fact that Jeflerson meant State of Virginia would mw official church caused the of denounce Jefferson and the tion 1s seen repeated evidence that Declaration of i support an flicials of that at denuncia- some pec pie Indepen- result of tl regard the author of the dence as an The tries, wi en in other taxation ul- same situation has ark Coun«- ere gove an established ch reach the poi of 1] rting complete us freedom an la bist ported by people of a © * the inevitable JUNK 3 ’ "y We the i . rieved and, usuRily The people of the country and The samo state of many countries of the wor religions, supported by ing perogatives that are no al other faiths This accept any or ent no official rel LJ today.

It is an ideal that has produced a broad twlerance toward all religious be- liefs in the United States. It is an ideal to be up- beld and it can only survive if religious organiza- tions in this country refrain from participation in politics and governmental affairs we think it decidedly advisable for ministers of the gospel of all religious faiths to restrict their service to the church of their choice and to leave political matters to agents of secular governments, religious 1ree- vyernment | at- MIS OF - persed 1t fave i thing more than the h as vid- the right church ration of For this reason, WHY THE BRITISH DO NOT INVADE Many arm-chair strategists in this country find it difficult to understand why the British Army does not undertake an offensive on the continent of Fu- rope in order to relieve the pressure on the Russian Army Viscount Halifax, British Ambassador, gays that while the British people are loofng forward to an offensive, it could not be undertaken “at present” ‘on sccount of shipping, supply and related factors. Until conditions become riper, he contends, it would play into Germany's hands to send air and land lorces to the Continent, The British diplomat says that with Great Britain nearing the limit of her plane productive capacity, his nation must rely upon American pro- duction to establish the alr superiority over Ger- many that will make possible extensive bombings and thus pave the way for a land force on the Con- tinent He added that sending supplies was the best way the British could assist Russia, along with using the air force to bomb Germany and so hold enemy planes in Western Europe. Lack of shipping for transport made it impossible to send a land force to Russia, but, because Russia has no shortage of man. power, the prompt dispatch of supplies is best adapt- e1 to assisting the Russians NOT TO SCRAP WARSHIPS Senator Tom Connally of Texas recently told ‘he American Bar Association that he would never vote to scrap a single ship of our two-ocean Navy at any post-war disarmament conference Some readers may think that the Texas senator is concerning himself too early. They are mistaken Just as pacifists and misguided church people In this country some years ago clamored for disarma- ment, they will do so again. In the light of subsequent events, the grand. stand maneuver cof the Harding Administration, in junking hundreds of milliong of dollars’ worth of American warships, represents the most costly mis- take ever made by this nation in the realm of na- tional defense, It may be a regrettable fact but it is the truth, nevertheless, that our faith in treaties outlawing war and pledging nations not to use war as an instru- ment of national policy has been sadly misplaced. It is time for us to understand that law and or- der must be upheld by force and If we want law and order in the world, the United States must con- tribute a reasonable proportion of the force, Hitler's latest effusion seems to have been de- signed to persuade the German people that the vic- tories of the Nazi armies are real | look out fo’ | politely, ter in pocket handkerchiefs” | much, I don’t want her.” THE Orrice CAT “A Little Nonsense Now and Then, Is Relished by the Wisest Men" “My Day” By SAM SELECTEE (Pvi.
