It is time we faced all the facts and answered the question: Is it more im portant to us to help Britain and France or to stay out of the Old Worlds wars? We know how some national leaders stand on the subject. But before we make our decision we want to know how the president stands. He has indicated sympathy for the democratic allies. At the same time he has indicated a desire for neutrality. These two stands are in direct conflict. Before they make their decision the people want to know which he considers the more important and why. America must decide with its eyes open, and in order to make an intelligent decision it must know exactly where its leaders stand. The balance is so critical that if at this moment the people stand back and let someone make the decision for them they stand to lose- the full rights and prerogatives of citizens of a democracy. This is not a plea to strip the executive of his constitutional powers, nor is it a criticism of President Roosevelts international policy. It is a plea that democracy shall prevail and a plea to the people to demand a full accoifiiting of the situation so that they can make an unhurried and sober decision based on all the facts. This nation may well be standing at the most important hour of its history.
