Show WHEN WILL AMERICA FIGHT? President James B. Conant of Harvard university, expresses the right idea when he says it is not u question of whether the United States will fight, but "When shall America fight?'' He reasons correctly when he points out that such a conflict is inevitable unless we are willing to yield control of this hemisphere to the Axis powers. Dr. Conant suggests that the United States can avoid a later battle "against desperate odds by "becoming a naval belligerent now " He points out that war materials ma-terials and food must be delivered to the British people because the blockade of U-boats, raiders, and air force has been "more damaging, perhaps, than we have vet been told. The Harvard educator, just back from a two-month' trip to England, insists that every- Nazi victory, makes our task the harder and that "from now on each month that we delay will mean at least four months added to the war." |
