Show WHY PERMIT ENCROACHMENT? OUR nation's birthday reminds us that our first war was fought to free us from the slavery of European Eu-ropean statecraft. In this connection there arises the query, "If Europe is dangerous to our peace, can we lessen her menace by joining her league?" To state it inside out, "If we can take care of ourselves within the league, why can we not better defend ourselves without the league?" Another question suggested by the reminder of Washington and his policies, is this: "On what date did our first president's policy of avoiding European entanglements become mere foolishness, and why?" Old stuff, you say, and we admit that ; but so it the immortal Declaration of Independence. |
