WASHINGTON. With congress the modification which Mr. Roosevelt seeks. He has plenty of support for bis theory. And there is plenty of opposition, too. Some of the iso- lationistsmen who fought Woodrow Wilson and his League of Nations clan men like Senator Borah of Idaho and Senator Johnson of Cali fornia 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 Vandenberf of Michigan. X think the vote will not be takes 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. Unseen Factors involved is Our Present Concern But while the discussion on the neutrality question is important, although the question in my opinion is simply whether we will open the gates for the export of anything we can sen, I am quite convinced our concern should be about the underlying and, at present, unseen factors now involved. It is said that we are extending passive aid to Hitler by refusing to allow the British and the French to come here for thousands of planes and millions of odds and ends usable in war. It is said, too, that unless we extend help to the British and the French, our nation eventually must face the onrush ing tide of totalitarian! and dictatorship. It can be, and is being, said that unless the arms embargo is lifted, we will have to go in ourselves sooner than otherwise would happen. All of these things can be said and are being said with reference to both sides of the line of fire in Europe, but none of the argument has changed my conclusion which has been reached after talking with scores of people who are in a position to know the facts abroad. My conclusion remains, and is going to continue to be, that it is Europe's war. I add to that the further thought that our energies should be directed to maintaining peace in North and South America, south, of the Canadian boundary. Now, there are those who say and they are numerous that repeal of the arms embargo will result in revival of business in the United States, as, indeed, it already has i tarted. A business revival would be swell Nobody doubts that But the things like planes and powder that go abroad have to leave our shores. It strikes me that sale of anything, whether planes or powder or wheat or cotton and corn, is likely to bring the war much closer to our shores. It makes me believe ' that we would be better off if we sold nothing at alL That Is, why not modify the policy by placing an embargo on everything that goes to the warring nations and let them fight it out so-call-ed Utterly Selfish Motives Behind the War in Europe To begin with, there is no moral issue in this war. No one ought to let themselves be kidded about that The war in Europe right now is battle between two groups of people with utterly selfish motives. Hitler and his gang have determined to regain that which the British took away from the German people in and the he World war of British and the French are deter mined not to let him accomplish it 1914-191- back the loans. Stripped of all of its jungle of words, therefore, the question thus seems to shape itself. We 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 llfe&e 1 7 Z3i IT Boldest Propaganda Now In the meantime and as the fight ing progresses in Europe, we in America are being flooded with the boldest and the baldest propaganda that can be conceived. From Berlin and other points under Hitler domination, we are being fed so- called news that is as putrid as polities used to be under Pender-ga- st In Kansas City or Penrose in It is amazing that Pennsylvania. any one believes it From British and French sources, and from their sympathizers in this country, comes "news" that is censored and controlled and in spired. It tells only the things that the French and the British would have us believe. We know just as little about the real underlying facts of the controversy from them as we do from the Germans.

C. reassembled In special session for 'discussion of, and action on, Presi-- i dent Roosevelt's request for modification 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 Europe's mess, but that mess is having an influence here and will have more influence on our national viewpoint. A decision must be taken, soon. It may thus be that the present extraordinary session of congress will turn out to be an historic meeting. Mr. Roosevelt has requested repeal 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 now 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.
