PRESIDENTS POWER When the blank check, lease-lenbill has been bums rushed through congress, the United States may not be at war but the President will be. He has announced his peace term freedom of speech and of worship, social security and the end of wars through disarmament not merely in Europe but "everywhere in the world including, of course, RusNew sia. This is the new world-widDeal with our taxpayers and workers, as they did for the American New Deal, paying as much of the whole bill as the President shall determine. Mr. Roosevelt has also announced the kind of peace in which he will not "acquiesce." People who are not at war dont prescribe either the kind of peace that will be accepted or the kind that wont. The President also asks for ultimate power to dispose all the war strength In America, except manpower (maybe?) to fight for whom and at any place he decides all our guns, ships, planes, shells, rifles, all our materials and facilities for production and, by the same token, if not all our wealth, then at least billions of it. He can send as much or as little into the battle lines as he decides, and that is nothing less than the position of international e up w.th a close friend.

What is requested is the complete strength of the nation in economic war and in these modern days that is 90 per cent of military war with a margin over as deadly as military war, if not more so. This astonishing bill was prepared under the direction of Mr. Morgen-thain the treasury and there is good reason to believe that neither Secretary Stimson of war, Secretary Knox of navy and Secretary Hull of state Was consulted on its terms before it was published. Somebody beside Henry the Morgue ought to be consulted before we buy a ticket to perdition. We have no effective naval vessels to send without hurting our navy. We can send no modern tanks, planes or guns that wouldnt delay the training of our army. Aid to Britain, yes, but in this momen-tiv- e hysterical spasm, cant somebody be thinking one little thought about the interest and security of the United States. u I LEASE-LEN- I BILL D What would have happened if two months ago anybody had proposed bill giving the Presithe lease-len- d dent unlimited authority to engage in economic and possibly military war everywhere in the world, to provide a world-wid- e bill of rights for people "anywhere in the world, and whether they want it or not?

Certainly not any greater danger to the belligerent nations that have our sympathy. There have been some terrible bombings of cities, but, if anything, their actual military position has been much improved. What has happened is the most effective and propaganda headed by a few sincere and masterful but certainly very rash men. Over pie air, in the mail, in the press, their voices for war have been continuous and many times the volume of any voice for caution. Popular polls have asked hypothetical military questions on which no mere layman would be likely to have the facts and professional knowledge to express any valuable opinion-such as, Do you think Britain will lose the war, if we do not give her all aid? Lacking access to any guiding facts, except the incessant haranguing of the who themselves are not much more competent to give an opinion, these sample" voters say "yes in substantial majorities to the question: "Shall we go to war?" It is mostly fantastical nonsense, this government by harangue and unofficial plebiscite, but the result is not nonsense.
