THIS i dent Roosevelt's request for modi fication of our neutrality policy, the time appears to have come when citizens of the United States must examine the facts of the international situation. Whether we like it or not, we can hardly ignore those facts any longer.' It is Eu rope's mess, but that mess is hav ing an influence here and will have more influence on our national view point. A decision must be taken, soon. It may thus be that the prcs ent extraordinary session of con gress will turn out to be an his toric meeting. Mr. Roosevelt has requested re peal of the section of the present law that prohibits export of arms, airplanes and some other implements of war to all nations engaged in declared hostilities. It will be remembered that he made the same request in the last session, but the senate committee on foreign relations said, by its action a few days before adjournment, that it would have none of the plan. Conditions have changed since that time, however, and the President is nffw insisting upon repeal of the controversial section and the substitution; in its place he is asking for legislation that will permit any and all foreigners to come here and buy the embargoed war munitions if they pay cash for them and take them away in their own ships. That, succinctly, is the crux of the modification which Mr. Roosevelt seeks. He has plenty of support for his theory. And there is plenty of opposition, too. Some of the isolationists men who fought Woodrow Wilson and his League of Nations plan men like Senator Borah of Idaho and Senator Johnson of California are still in the senate. Their numbers have been augmented by fighters of the type of Senator Bennett Clark of Missouri, and Senator Nye of North Dakota, and Senator Vandenberg of Michigan. I think the vote will not be taken at once, in view of the promised discussion. And it probably is well that there will be much debate, for the country will learn more about the two sides to the question. Bid., I By LEMUEL F. PARTON Washington, D. C. Hitler calls it justice; Chamberlain 'and Daladier call it brigandage. Back in 1919, when the Treaty of Versailles was written, the Germans shouted brigands and other epithets as the French and the British overruled Woodrow Wilson and took what they wanted. Not only did the winners in that war, excepting the United States, take what they wanted, but they parceled out other parts of the German empire. Where did the United States finish in that war? It helped win a war to make the world safe for democracy, which turned out to be a sham. And it was left holding the bag. It still is holding the bag, because little of the eleven billion dollars loaned to the allied powers ever has been repaid. Only little Finland has kept her promise to pay back the loans. Stripped of all of its jungle of words, therefore, the question thus seems to shape itself. VJe have nothing to gain, so why not make over our neutrality into the policy of an isolationist? Why not stay out by keeping our stuff here at home? I know I will be rebuked by those who say we cannot afford to close down factories and let cotton and wheat and corn remain unsold. Notwithstanding all of this, there surely is ground for belief that it would be cheaper in the end, cheaper in money, if you want to deal only in the materialistic side and cheaper in blood, because it may come to Mahatma Ghandl indicated that, in his opinion, a world war against Adolf Hitler would be justifiable and possibly necessary.

More important is the attitude and activity of his vigorous and popular unPandit derstudy, the Jawahharial Nehru.

Born of a noble caste, Nehru was educated at Harrow and Cambridge, taking honors in the classics. His father, the Pandit Motilal Nehru, was a lawyer and the richest man in Allahabad. He gave away his mansion and moved into a shabby little house when he became a convert to Indian nationalism. His son, reared in splendor, had no such Ideas when he came home from England. He was a strong supporter of the British regime until the Amritsar mas sacre of 1919. Then he burned his 50 British suits, donned native dress, and became an agitator for the Nationalist cause. However, he was no devotee of h asceticism. He was all for fighting and it was as the most belligerent of ail the Indian leaders that he came to the presidency of the congress in 1935. Nehru was at times sharply opposed to the Gandhi, but apparently their differences have been resolved.

He has placed ships of the American navy as far as 200 miles at sea, as he explained, that they may obtain information as to what is going on out there. The patrol looks like an invitation to some German to take a shot at one of our ships. Of course, they would not do so deliberately; they would "mis take" a United States ship for one of the enemy, or that would be their excuse. And would we be in a dither!
