The rapidly crystalizing policy of this administration to defend Amer ica by mixing aggressively in European and Asian power politics, with whatever consequence that may carry, is sure to be an issue this year. As in 1916, the sentiment against that, west of the Alleghenies, is overwhelming. In 1917, we were at war and, before the end of that year, with complete and even enthusiastic support of the country. Vet immediately after the declaration of war, there was no such sentiment except on the Eastern seaboard. . I know, because I had undertaken the organization of the selective draft in every American commu. ' nity. Most of the gray hairs I had until' recently, I got in the first anxious 30 days of that effort. Was the ambitious experiment going to flop? In most states, except the East, there was only aloof and A detachment of the French Foreign Legion from North Africa pictured marching through the streets of Marseilles, France. Troops of the famous legion of forgotten men were reported thrown into action in .Norway during the third week of the war to help bolster the British after their defeat at Steinkjer. Legion troops are reported to have been in France since the 150th anniversary of " French independence on July 14. . . , . skeptical if not sullen acceptance.

Here is a pair of tables to match a smart new- bedspread. The. spread is made of green and white checked gingham - be- cause he prepared the seed bed. by. months of patient and restraint and, of far more, importance, because we were actually in, and not merely, flirting with,'. a bloody war and a sickly season. Can Franklin Roosevelt do that which to- be elected, he must do, or sincerely change the whole course of his foreign policy? Can he do it when we are not engaged in war, and when no such seed bed is ready? He has another handicap which Mr. Wilson had not. This country had then never' tried, a mass adwar venture' in the diplomacy of Eufope. We tried in 1917 and 1918 and we know it to have been the most disastrous' gamble this nation ever made. Apart from the handicap of our' dolorous experience, is the simple military question of whether we should scatter our strength over vast areas of this globe, or whether, the obvious course is to. retain our interior lines, our concentrated strength, the. advantages of our natural barriers and our unquestioned unity. . It 'is .a reversal of- - every American traditional (if flot constitutional) and of every militpolitical principle ary-. and ' naval axiom. Coupled with the reversal. of the third term tradition, it will certainly, be ' a massive handicap. It' cannot be shushed or even minimized.. Only the- persuasive skill of Mr. Roosevelt, his literary ghosts, and the greater pulling power- of four billion dollars, coupled with 'possible Republican campaign blundering could overcome it.'

Such a pairing of strange bedfellows 'would be stronger than the coupling of supposed enemies, Hitler and Stalin, to. ravage and divide Poland. Such results are' impossible for England and certainly for France to contemplate. Therefore it seems pretty clear that England is not leaving the Mediterranean with' anything except her ordinary comtraffic mercial usually routed through the Suez canal. She is just getting her rich argosies promptly out of an area of danger from a sudden possible clash of aerial and maritime navies in those waters. It seems to me that the critica) element in this war just now is not what happened in Norway, as what may happen in. the Mediterranean. If that warfare opens up, the affair in Norway will just be a sideshow and that raises my principal Object of at least 20 air raid bombings during the first three weeks of war was the city of Stavanger, Norway. It was here that British air squadrons wrecked numerous Nazi fighting planes and killed many members of the German aircraft personnel in raids on the German-hel- d , airport.

Hitler, has two choices in grand strategy. He can concentrate on the British empire by striking at i;s heart in western Europe, or, if he has the armed assistance of Italy, he can attempt to cut it in pieces in detail and strengthen his own economic, if not military, position by operation in southeastern Europe and the Mediterranean. He can do either, but he cant do both at the same time. Hardly One family in two now gets enough vitamins, and minerals to permit radiant good health. So enjoy oranges liberally daily!
