What would historians have said of such appeasers such evaders such shirkers? Except for historical heroes that weaklings of today might call there would be no United States of America and should the same kind of discreet dodgers prevail now when the ration is rich and powerful when the danger to human liberty is far greater than it has been for five centuries no longer will there be freedom of the seas or freedom of action while free speech and freedom of worship will disappear from the western hemisphere To paraphrase: You know it Your congressmen know it Senators Wheeler Nye and the two Clarks know it Lindbergh and Viereck America First committeemen know it know it But they are all Under a terrible pressure of hate and fear—of hatred that is both personal and partisan of fear that is congenital and compromising But no one knows the effect of terror made timidity on prospective victims as Hitler knows it He would undoubtedly pay ten times what America First is payadvertisements ing for these scare-hea- d and never change a single word in the entire copy The only beneficiaries of such appeals are totalitarians' If Hitler can convince the mothers and fathers of America that it will be 1 better and safer for their sons to live on their knees than to brave death on their feet the purpose of this America First organization will have been accomplished To any one of the 200000000 Europeans who flourished their national neutrality until the fuehrer flourished his nazi whip submit the teachings of America First and ask the man or woman what such doctrines mean and where they rs war-monge- s war-monge- -

NEWS ITEM By Paul Mallon WITHOUT WASHINGTON—The peculiar type of sea war- in which thia country is involved with the nazis is unsatisfactory to many naval authorities whose positions require them to keep their mouths shut Losses thus far suggest the cost is to be heavy In liven and ships Rumors are being passed around that the navy has sunk 10 German subs without announcement but officials smile freely at this suggestion They would probably be glad to announce the sinking of one in order to popularly justify their policy even though they say they would not German sub tactics show con elusively the nazis have information on the routes of convoys The incidents of the Greer Rear-fl- y and Reuben James all occurred on night convoy duty In each case German subs knew where to lie in wait with engines stilled so their presence could not be detected They are able to fire from submerged positions as their own detecting devices pick up the sound of the passing convoy Operating between Greenland and Iceland in packs they are thus able to maintain a very serious advantage over our destroyers When the neutrality act is repealed and convoying to Britain is started their opportunities will be increased as our ships move into the German air patrol radius of 1000 miles (good weather) from the French coast Our plane patrol service appar ently is not effective against night submarine operations The Japanese Envoy Comes With Serious Peace Proposals two-thir- Although dense clouds of secrecy will surround the meetings of the Japanese envoy extraordinary and leader's of the United States during the next few days one thing is quite certain: United States will not: back down on aid to China Roosevelt has already told the American people as well as the Japanese people if they cared to listen that this decision will stand The president's address to the delegates of the International Labor office in Washington made this quite plain If reports can be trusted when Saburo Kurusu sits down with Secretary Hull it will be a meeting of two patriotic realists who recognize the seriousness of the event and who are able and inclined to talk in practical terms What ultiwill come of conference the mately may not be apparent for many days and could amount to exactly nothing but the trip reveals just how important Tokyo considers the existing crisis between the two countries Kurusu being a realist as well as a patriot must know that the usual bluffing tactics are useless With the United States already committed to helping China against her invader the real points of discussion are narrowed somewhat so Japan's chief contribution to the peace of the World may prove to be a withdrawal from the axis America has no authority to dictate the actions of Japan In this matter but can make it a basis for real discussions looking toward the final settlement of differences between the two countries -
