Vol. 41, No. 60 Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 29. 1941 Price Three CentsMalcolm Sharp550 SignBergquistPetition Defend America First—GibsonMoving swiftly into action yester¬day the Committee to Strenjfthen De¬mocracy by Kt'epinK America Out ofWar jrathered more than 550 stu¬dent sijrnatures and expects to boostthe total to a thousand by noon to¬day.“From the results we Kot yesterdayon the petitions circulated by com¬mittee members,” said Laura Berpr-quist, Committee chairman, “we feelthat the majority of students en¬dorse Hutchins’ stand that democracycun best be preserved in America onlyby staying out of war and broadeningthe base of demeeracy at home.“We believe that the pro-war groupon campus, though exceptionally vocal,ilws not reflect campus sentiment andhas seemed unduly important largelyU'cause of powerful outside pressuregroups behind it,” declared MissBergquist.In addition to faculty spon-sors A.Kustace Haydon and Wayne McMil-len, Malcolm Sharp, professor of law,and Sophonisba Breckenridge, SamuelDeutsch professor emeritus of publicwelfare administration, have alsoagreed to act as committee advisors.Approving the work of the com¬mittee W’illiam F. Ogburn, Sewell L.Avery distinguished service profes¬sor and chairman of the Departmentof Sociology said; “President Hutchinshas indeed furnishe<l the ethical lead¬ership for the vast number of rightthinking Americans.” Finally Find FamedForgotten FossilsIn the pre-Hutchins era, whenthe University was celebrating itstenth birthday, not its fiftieth, agroup of geologists and paleonthol-ogists were dispatched to Albany,N.Y’., to purchase the fossil collec¬tion of James Hall, for .50 yearsgeologist for the state of NewYork.Back at the Midway, the hugecollection, ranging from beetles toBronosauri. was partially opened,partially left crated in WalkerMuseum’s basement.Yesterday, Asst. Curator Chep-pars, noticed a label on a partic¬ularly desolate-looking crate, de¬cided to open it. Well rewardedwere Cheppars and the entire Uni¬versity, for the forgotten crate con¬tained. in Cheppars’ own words“some of the finest specimens ofFurypterus robistus and Trilobitefossils” ever seen at Walker. Ac¬cording to the Assistant Currator,they form a valuable addition tothe liniversity’s already extensivecollection. Speaks At Aid The Allies RallyPUPIansChangeIn OrganizationPlans for a modification of Politi¬cal Union’s organizational form willl>e presented by the Liberal Party tothe Union as a whole in session to¬morrow afternoon. The chief ob¬jectives of the plan are to increase theparticipation of all members in thedebating, to increase emphasis on se¬rious discussion of important issuesand to minimize inter-party politicalbickering.Formulated in the last caucus of thel.iberal party, the plan provides fora coordinating committee consistingof the president, the vice-president,the secretary-treasurer, and a subcommittee formed of the head and arepresentative of each party who willbe replaced every four weeks. Theduties of the committee proper willbe administrative and will meet regu¬larly with the sub committee to de¬termine the issue for debate in thetorthcoming meeting. Individuals orparties may submit suggestions inthe form of bills, but the decision ofthe sub committee will be final.The parliamentary system of partygovernments in power formerly em¬ployed by the Union will be abolished.I’arty quotas will continue to be de-teimined by an all campus poll andUnion vote will continue to be tak¬en on each issue, although the re¬sult will have no effect upon the statusof the parties. Maroon PollsStudent BodyOn War ViewsIsolation or intervention? The stu¬dent’s answer to this problem will bemeasured in a Daily Maroon war pollbeing held today. The replies of thestudents to the ten questions on theballot will not only show the trendsof campus thought but also prove therelative effectiveness of the two cam¬paigns being waged on the (Jfuardan-gles for student support.The poll will follow hard on the in¬auguration of a new isolationist groupand a mass rally held by the sup¬porters of the aid the allies program.It will quiz balloters on the generalissues of the war and the effect ofPresident Hutchins’ recent address onundergraduate thought. The answersto the question will be correlate<l withresults from former polls in an at¬tempt to show the changing reactionsto the world crisis.Polling desks are in the first floorof Cobb Hall and in Mandel Corridor.Any student is eligible to vote and thepolling hours will be from 9 until 3.Results will be published in tomor¬row’s Daily Maroon. Non-Violence WillTriumph in theEnd, Says SinghBy DAN WINOGRAD“I admire Hutchins for statingfacts,” states Reginald Singh, memberof the Indian National Congress, “heshows there is one courageous uni¬versity president.” Singh speaks oncampus tomorrow on the subject“Non-violence Meets Aggression”.Singh is a follower of MahatmaGhandi, leader of the Indian NationalCongress which is seeking to createa free India, but which will not con¬done violence. In the eyes of Singhand the Congress, a free India is partof the program with which Hitler canbe defeated.Non-Violence Will Triumph“Non-violence”, explains Singh, “willtriumph over violence because humanbeings are not by nature sadistic. Ifyou do not strike back when struck,the striker will soon fall back in as¬tonishment.”“Even in a nation dominated by Hit¬ler, the spirit of aggression comes on¬ly from the leaders. If the Britishwould show a sincere desire to makethis a better world by freeing theirsubjugated people in India, the peoplesubjugated by Hitler would soon over¬throw him.”.Advocates Leaflet BombardmentA practical suggestion offered bySingh, if the British would like toadopt a policy of non-violence, wouldbe a resumption of the leaflet bom¬bardment.“From any angle,” remarks Singh,“it would be to Britain’s benefit togive the Indians their liberty, for afree people would give much moreeffective aid to the British than is nowbeing forced from the Indians.”Compares American Coloniesand IndiaIndians bear no hate for the Britishpeople, Singh emphasizes. He likensthe position of India now to that ofthe American colonies in 1776. TheCongress would set-up a real socialdemocracy. One of the principles ofthe Congress is the elimination of thecaste sy.stem.Singh’s talk tomorrow is under theauspices of the Methodist StudentLeague, and the Fellowship of Recon¬ciliation. It will take place at 7 in theSwift Commons room. Supper will beserved at 6 for 25 cents. Singh willbe at the supper. Reservations can bemade with Don Baldwin, Hyde Park7088. Quincy Wright Meeting Sponsored by Youthfor Democracy.unquestioned legalityTest StudentsOn InventoryOf KnowledgeSimon Speaks To PeaceCommittee TodayTo indicate a di.strust in Roosevelt’sforeign policy and approval of Presi¬dent Hutchins’ radio address of lastweek, the Campus Peace Committeewill hold a campus-wide meeting inRosenwald 2 this afternoon at 3:30.Abbot Simon of the National Commit¬tee of the American Youth Congresswill be the speaker.The call to meeting follows the re¬lease of a public letter to PresidentHutchins written yesterday by theCommittee to indicate its “hearty con¬currence” with his opposition to HR1776. The letter says in part:“Your radio address, as reflectedin hundreds of signatures to petitionswe have circulated, expressed in themain a position with which a majorityof students on this campus agree. Weheartily concur in your opposition tothe War-Powers Bill, and in your op¬position to the policy of drivingAmerica still deeper into the warabroad.”Informed of the Committee’s standin foreign policy, Senator Burton K.Wheeler telegraphed the group lastnight .... “HR. 1776 is a travestyon those fateful numerals. The bill . . . . .seeks to undo what our fore¬fathers did in 1776 .... it is not alease-lend bill; it is a give-away bill.It would permit one man without anycheck or accounting to anyone” togive away our arms. A picked cross-section of the Uni¬versity student body submitted them¬selves as guinea pigs Monday whenthe Physical Science Division con¬ducted its first “inventory” tests.These tests were designed to letthe department study such questionsas “Do .students majoring in somefields retain more knowledge and abil¬ity in Physical Science than do stu¬dents majoring in other fields?”, “Dostudents w'ho received high grades inthe course retain more than those whoreceived low grades?”, “Is there a dif¬ference in the kind of knowledge orability retained?”Compare ResultsThe results of student performancein the inventory test will be comparedwith the results of their performancein the comprehensive exam. Dr. R. J.Stephenson,, director or the course,emphasized, however, that the resultswill be interpreted in terms of groups,that individual students will not beselected as outstanding in one respector another, but instead a search willbe made for trends.The information gathered will bevaluable in making shifts in the courseprogram if such shifts are deemednecessary.250 ParticipateOf the 350 students invited to takethe inventory, 250 declared themselveswilling and volunteered their services.Dr. Stephenson indicated that the suc¬cess of the investigation depends uponthe cooperation of the student bodyand hopes that when the next inven¬tory date is set, all invited studentswill participate. Senator Ernest W. Gib.son, makinghis first speech in the Mid-West sincebecoming National Chairman of theCommittee to Defend America by Aid¬ing the Allies, characterized his com¬mittee, in a speech last night, as the“true peace committee of America.”Continuing the speech, made in theFieldhouse at thfe Aid the Allies rallysponsored by Youth for Democracy,Senator Gibson said his group is “acommittee to defend America first.”Emphasizing the threat to the UnitedStates which the totalitarian .statesconstitute, the speaker referred to aNazi broadcast from Europe whichsummed up the position PresidentHutchins took toward the 1776 billtwenty-five hours before he spoke, asan example of Germany’s efficient warmachine.Points Out War Aims“England,” the Senator from Ver¬mont declared, “is like a man flat onhis back with a ruffian holding a dag¬ger over his neck.” Great Britain,Greece, and China, he continued, areobviously fighting for their owm pres¬ervation. Why need we ask them theirwar aims?Senator Gibson was preceded byProfessor Quincy Wright of the Uni¬versity faculty who spoke on thelease-lend bill. The measure, he em¬phasized, cannot be called a dictatorbill nor a war bill, but rather a sub¬stitute for war.“The bill is the exemplification ofdemocracy,” said the noted expert oninternational relations, “because in itthe president is asking congress toback him on power he already has.”Speaks SincerelySpeaking with commanding sincer¬ity, Edgar Ansel Mowrer noted for¬eign correspondent, emphasized againand again the threat which Germanyis to our country’s cherished democ¬racy. He felt that it is not enoughenough that Britain hold on, but Brit¬ain must win. He further pointed outthat the only reason Senators Wheelerand Nye talk as they do is becausethey can’t imagine anything as ghast¬ly as the Nazi regime.Renaissance SocietyHolds Art Exhibit Colorful CostumesAt Slovak-DanceOn the island of Bali elopements arequite the commonplace thing, and theformal wedding doesn’t take place untilafter the honeymoon.

This would seem to us toeliminate the possibility of moral preparedness,for if more than a third of our people now havea subnormal standard of living, and if manymore will have even their meagre incomestapped to buy guns, airplanes, and Argentinebeef, democracy will have failed to make theirlives endurable, let alone hopeful, and they willcertainly lack the moral preparedness to fightfor that democracy.E. S. L.(continued tomorrow)The Traveling BazaarNight Editor: Dan MezlayAssistant: Marshall PattulloAmerica and the War(continued from yesterday’s Maroon)President Hutchins states the end of Presi¬dent Roosevelt’s foreign policy, and finds him¬self in agreement with it. We, too, agree thatfreedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedomfrom want, and freedom from fear, are eminent¬ly desirable.We are immediately on our guard, however,when we hear Mr. Hutchins say, “the question iswhether entrance into this war is likely to bringus closer to this goal.” That is only the ques¬tion when our military experts decide that itis necessary to go to war with our manpoweras well as our support in material to insure aBritish victory. They have not made this de¬cision. Therefore, Mr. Hutchins has skipped astep in the argument.But let us go farther now—let us concedehis point and disregard the error in his reason¬ing. Let us argue on his terms, as he immediate¬ly goes on to say that the issue is whether theUnited States can better serve suffering hu¬manity by entering the war or staying out. Hehas decided that we are either fighting withmanpower or isolating ourselves almost com¬pletely.After deciding this, he states the interven¬tionist argument as follows: “We are going tofight the Axis sometime. Why not fight it now,when we have Britain to help us?”He lists four assumptions which he feels in¬valid, but which he says are back of this de¬cision. The first one, however, is certainly asaf^ one. If we do not continue to send theBritish Empire all possible war supplies, it al¬most certainly will fall. If those supplies seeminsufficient, then we shall have to send themour navy, to keep their sources of supplies open,and our air force, to keep their bombers away.Otherwise again the assumption that Britainwill fall is a safe one. It seems unlikely that weshall ever have to send an army expeditionaryforce into England, however, according to mili¬tary experts. Her land forces are already ade¬quate, and her island could not provide easilyfor a larger population.His second statement, that intervention pro¬ceeds on the assumption that the present rulersof totalitarian states will survive the conflict,is almost an irrelevancy. All we must assumeis that their successors will be like-minded withthem. Will Goering be a pacifist? It seems as un¬likely as it seems unlikely that the Germanpeople, hypnotized by the spell of Hitler, wouldsuddenly undergo a change of heart, follov/inghis death.It is certainly not difficult to make his thirdassumption, that the totalitarian nations willwant to attack us. This does not necessarilymean that they will want to attack us with forceof arms. It can mean that they will desire onlyto take our international markets away fromus, that they will desire only to reduce us, bythe easiest means possible, to the stature of aninferior power. This has been their aim so farwith all their opponents. We see nothing in thefuture, except their defeat, which w’ould changethat aim.For the fourth assumption: If they win thewar, they will have greater resources withwhich to attack us than ever before. They willprobably have the British fleet, they will havethe awe and fear of the nations they haveconquered, their people will consent to newand hazardous ventures just as'did the Frenchunder Napoleon when Napoleon was still win¬ning great victories. They certainly will be in aposition to attack us.Finally, it will then be most possible to beatu.s—whether with military, economic, or politi¬cal weapons. For if we are to prepare againstthe totalitarians, we must first build up our By HILLARD THOMASSuper-super-sold on the University is inimitableAllan Leon Dreyfuss, escapist, jitterbug, and poetnauseate.

JANUARY 29. 1941Football "Sensation" Amazing—AndersonCompetition RemainsInformal For 1941 Lenny Sacks,Loyola MeetMaroon FiveBv WERNER BAUMA purposed “sensational” newsstoryhit the presses yesterday. Bannerheadlines shouted: “Football is backat rhicago.” A summary of eventsleading to this “sensation” is calledfor.I.«ate in October the Maroon re¬ceived a letter from a Louisville sportswriter asking Chicago to join a foot¬ball league composed of Midwesternschools of Detroit’s and Toledo’s cal¬iber. The Maroon approached membersof the athletic staff and obtained acomment on the following order: “Chi¬cago will definitely not enter an or¬ganized football league in 1941. Pres¬ident Hutchins would probably notgive his consent. Nor are we inter¬ested in playing the formal gamewhich necessitates freshman and grad¬uate eligibility rules and depends ona rather heavy financial backing. Weare interested in providing the bestrecreation for the largest number of‘tudents.” Meet TheAthleteInformal CompetitionOn November 28 Coaches Derr andAnderson and Athletic Director Met¬calf met with six-man football playersto discuss the football question. Thequestion of inter-collegiate eleven-man ball was again raised. The fol¬lowing reply was given: “We areplanning to play eleven-man footballnext year in a fashion similar to thisyear's. Comtwtition will be on a morenr le.s.s informal basis. We shall notjoin any league nor shall w’e charge■udmission for contests. We are, how¬ever, planning a more definite scheduleand the yse of officials.” ART LOPATKAAfter a fine beginning last year thebaseball team faded badly against BigTen opponents. The only game theywere able to win from a Conferencenine was a 2 to 1 victory over Purdue.Art Lopatka homered with a man onbase, then came in from the outfieldto pitch the last two and a half inn¬ings to protect the slim lead. Chicago’s hustling cage squad final¬ly escapes the rigors of playingagainst man-to-man defense Thurs¬day night, when Loyola provides theopposition. But the Maroons are nothanging out the flags, or shoutingHallelujah, because the Ramblers per¬form their zone with the eclate of awell-drilled regiment.Indeed, if any basketball ball teamcan be likened to a well-drilled regi¬ment it is the north side Loyola quin¬tet. Lenny Sachs, who rates as oneof America’s brainiest cage tutors,handles his men with a biting verbalwhip.Almost all of the Maroon nine’s suc¬cess last year was due to Lopatka, whopitched and played the outfield whenhe wasn’t on the mound. He is thebest of the squad at either positionand is also the chief power hitter.Lots of SpeedOn Di'coinber 14, the evening of theFllinoi.'^ Tech basketball game, wejig-iin contacted Coach Anderson. Atthi,« time he admitted that concreteplans for a .schedule had been laid,lit asked us. however, to withholdpublication for some time due to thepossibility of sensationalism for whichthe .Athletic Department seems to holdno favor. A rumor started to spread,however, and by the first of the yearit was common knowledge in sportscircles that the Univesrity would havea definite schedule this fall.Never Left Blessed with a strong arm andback. Art’s forte is a blazing fast ball.This is also his weak point because hedoes not mix up his stuff enough, nordoes he pitch enough to weaknesses.Whenever he is in a hole, as regularlyas clock-work the high, hard one ap¬pears. This works fine for about fiveinnings, but then the opposition be¬gins swinging from the heels. WhenLopatka discards a little of his speedfor a little more caginess, he will beunbeatable. Master of MenAn athlete at middle age, Sachsis respected with more than the usualrespect shown a coach. He is morethan a master strategist. He is a mas¬ter of his men.Most of his famous fives in the dec¬ade he has guided the fortunes ofLoyola basketball have been develop¬ed from nothing by the Sachs tongue,and the Sachs genius. He made MikeNovak, last years primeir pivot man,a star.Novak’s career at Loyola was notthe traditional ^thlete’s career, forSachs rode him with unflinching mer¬cilessness. When big Mike would showup for practice a minute late, Sachswould invariably turn on him and fire,“Glad to see you come, Mike. Justdrop in any time, star.” Novak tookit, and played championship basket-bail.Weaker Than '40This* year, the olive-skinned Cap¬tain Bligh of the hardwood bringsteam to the Midway that comesA beautiful outfielder, he specializesin sensational one-hand catches. Hecovered more ground last year thanany other outfielder, being able tocome in or go back with almost equalability. Especially outstanding washis consistent cutting-off of driveswhich should have dropped betw'eenthe infield and the outfield.No-HitterSo. let us examine to .see exactlywhat happened. Football is not backbecause it has never left. More menplayed football on the Quadrangleslast year than at any time over thelast five year period. Eleven-mantoothall was played last fall. The onlydifferences between the coming yearand last season are: (1) Officials willhe used instead of the respectivecoaches as was the practice; (2)trames will be played on week-ends in-'tead of week-days. Otherwise thereare no important changes. Admissionwill still be free. Any bona fideregistered student, undergraduate orgraduate, will be permitted to com-p»'t»'. In playing ball since grammarschool Lopatka has participated inmany exciting games. The three thatstick most in his mind are the afore¬mentioned Purdue game, a sandlotgame in which he struck out 22 men innine innings, and a no-hitter he tossedin American Legion competition. Hemight also have mentioned the gamelast Spring against Armour Techwhen he allowed only one hit in anabbreviated seven-inning affair playedentirely in a pouring rain which al¬most rendered good pitching impos¬sible. nowhere near the glory of last winter’stitanic aggregation that included No¬vak, Kuatz and company. But a Sachsteam is never weak, and never impo¬tent.He has built his present machinearound tall, but clumsy MikeDougherty, Captain George W’enkskus,and little Mickey Rottner. Rottner,a small package of dynamite, haslearned how to shoot from out on thefloor from Sachs, which makes him adoubly dangerous type.Ho has had a couple of offers toplay pro ball after graduation, butUncle Sam has different ideas aboutit. Lopatka has received his papersbut is deferred until July. “It’ll be meand Greenberg in the army,” says Art.The University of Chicago Athleticdepartment has a definite policy:The best recreation for the largestnumber.” Other schools have been'oheduled as opponents for only onereason. They provide better recreationthan continual intra-mural competi¬tion. His position as captain of the base¬ball team has helped him into a posi¬tion as an Owl and Serpent member,a Marshall, and president of the new¬ly-organized C-Club.In addition. Art is a star in intra¬mural competition. His prowess intouchball is especially outstanding,netting him a place on the all startouchball team for the last two years. Revive AthleticSpirit—C-ClubThe Varsity “C” Club held itsweekly meeting yesterday afternoon.Plans for the revival of the athleticspirit at Chicago are rapidly progres¬sing.The athletes are planning to have asection reserved for “C” men at fu¬ture basketball games. Members ofthe “C” club and the Order of the“C” are to wear their jackets to fu¬ture games and sit in the reservedsection. High school athletes will alsobe invited to sit with the lettei’-men.The next meeting has been calledfor Thursday, February 6.Skull and Crescent MeetingAll members of Skull and Cres¬cent are requested to meet today inthe Reynolds Club lounge at 1, andto bring their money for the tick¬ets.

WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 29. 1941II Short of WarA BULL SESSIONBy Edgar Ansel MowrerBy both major presidential candi¬dates in the recent election, the for¬eign policy of the United States hasbeen defined as “all possible aid toBritain short of war.” Cordell Hull,gifted Secretary of State, respectedby all, has been advocating this foryears.Today it is echoed even by thosewho remain wedded to the policy ofcomplete isolation, for they feel thatit is the will of the country. It is nowcertain that this policy is already be¬ing applied, and that it will continueto be applied so long as it is applica¬ble to the existing situation.Policy is AmbiguousBut nonetheless this policy remainssomewhat ambiguous. Ambiguous be¬cause the word “war” has ceased tohave the simple straight-forwardmeaning it used to have, or indeed anymeaning whatever. From the time ofGrotius, the great Dutch jurist who“put war into intemational law,” warmeant a legally recognized state ofhostility between nations. And therecould be no other sort of state of hos¬tility. After a “declaration” in dueform, one nation attacked another na¬tion. Third parties either joined inthe “war,” or were “neutral.” Belliger¬ent rights, neutral rights were clearlydefined. National laws were defined asreferring to a “state of war” or to a“state of peace.” And though inter¬national law itself failed to be truelaw owing to the permanent lack ofefficient sanction, everyone gave lipservice to it and its concepts servedfairly well to define a nation’s posi¬tion.Before Grotius, war was not really“legal.” Nations attacked by surpriseor by st*ealth or by ambush—as Cae¬sar Borgia invited rival Italian noblesto dinner in his castle and there pro¬ceeded to murder them, earning theadmiration of Machiavelli for his skill.The Japs, and after them the Nazis,have revived the practices of CaesarBorgia—and in more ways than one.Axis Fought SpainItaly and Germany both fought Re¬publican Spain for years without adeclaration of war. (Republican Spaindid not fight back only lest thereby itprovoke them to redouble their ef¬forts.) Japan is not “at war” withChina, despite the forty-two monthsof bitter fighting following Japaneseaggression.In a jungle full of predatory en¬emies, the concepts of war and peacehave ceased to have meaning. None isat peace for none is secure. There isjust fighting or the danger of attack.There is no true mentality where menmust carry their rifles to church andto business.“Short of war” is therefore an out¬moded expression. The United Statesis already a party to the fight: itscitizens have passed rapidly fromsomething like indifference throughwhat Mussolini called “non-belliger¬ency” to the “limited belligerency” oftoday. Short of officially sending itsnavy or its air force, the Americangovernment is doing everything it canto insure a British victory. The Pres¬ident’s recent fraternizing with LordHalifax was meant to be a symbol ofthis intention—and understood assuch in Berlin and in London.Will Not Allow Briti.sh DefeatAt New York, Secretary of the Koser Finds BacteriaRequire Vitamin BBy JIM BUKTLE“Bacteria also need vitamins,” con¬cludes Stewart Koser, associate pro¬fessor of Bacteriology. Koser, who hasbeen studying the nutritional needsof micro-organisms, finds that bac¬teria require vitamins, particularlythose in the B group.Bi, the vitamin that prevents pel-legra in humans, is essential for thehealth of microbes that cause dysen-terj'. Staphylacocci which cause boilsand absci'sses require Bi and nicotinicacid in their diet. Lactic acid bacteriaare likely to suffer from a shortage ofvitamin Bj. In the future Koser ex¬pects other vitamin needs may befound in bacteria.As a result of these discoveries,scientists in the future will be able togrow bacteria in a chemically knownenvironment and therefore will be ableto control their experiments moreeasily. Koser believes that the find¬ing of vitamin requirements in bac¬teria tends to demonstrate that nu¬tritional requirements in lower or¬ganisms are fundamentally the sameas in higher forms of life. Douglas, Cayton SpeakOn ''Negro in Chicago"Paul Douglas and Horace Ca3rtonwill speak on “The Statuts of theNegro in Chicagfo” tonight at 8 in IdaNoyes Library.

Not according to the classicalconception. But it would according tothe current political doctrine of Japanand Germany, for it would be precise¬ly what Germany and Italy, under thecover of “non-intervention,” did inSpain, and what the Japanese are stilldoing in China.Can Germans and Italians and Japshave it both ways ? Is it war when wedo it against them but something elsewhen they carry it out? And if, sud¬denly allowing their indignation to runaway with their prudence, these na¬tions suddenly decided on an all-outattack against us, so much the worsefor them.Would we not have remained true tothe doctrine of “all aid to Britainshort of war”—modern style?And as long as we did not send areal expeditionary force to Europewould not the majority of Americansheartily approve of our ceasing to al-j low the British to do all the fighting! in a cause .which we have come to^ recognize as ours ?
