The national goal Is t- which we are not divided, and that Is that we aro ready to fight for America If the need should ever arise. "Why dissipate our unity and strength here at home In an attempt to force us Into another European war? Why give up an impregnable position In America for a hazardous and untenable position In Europe? Why bring to this country the chaos, the intolerance, and the hatred that will Inevitably come with a foreign war? "So Attack l( l'repared. "No one has attempted to attack us, and if we prepare ourselves prop erly, no one will be in a position to attack us. It is not a question of whether Hitler would like to invade America. It is not a question of trusting promises that may be broken.

"As Song as our government insists cn interfering with the affairs of Europe, this confusion will continue. It may be a new experience for our generation here in America, but confusion is nothing new to the nations of the old world. Jefferson understood that when he said: "They are nations of war." Washington understood it whn he warned us against European entanglements. These European wars have been Eoing on for centuries and there is certainly no indication that they will stop now. Every major country in Europe has fought every other major country in Europe time and time again.

In one generation England and Germany fight France. In another generation France and England fight Germany. In a third generation Germany and France fight England. Stalin Previous Menace. First, we hear that Napoleon Is going to conquer the world.

It is the major weapon of the interventionists. They have flooded this country with propaganda intended to confuse us propaganda for the purpose of drawing us into war. Our press, our ra Did the interventionists welcome such a move then as they do now? "They did not. They beguiled Poland into a futile war, and when Germany turned east they attacked her in the west. Instead of pushing her on to Russia they drew the German onslaught to their own countries.

They postponed the inevitable conflict between Russia and Germany and forced, instead, a conflict between Germany, France, and England a Washington. D. C. July 1 (F).

Regular shipments will be made, Welles said, as long as French guarantees are maintained.

The record of the interventionists has been a record of abject failure. They cannot point to a single important instance of success in connection with this' war. "I was in Siberia in 1931 and in western Russia in 1933 and 1938. I made a number of trips thru Germany in 1936, 1937, and 1938. I lived for two years in England, and for one year in France.

When I speak of Europe I speak from first hand knowledge of conditions there. tal owned hy Americans. the relationship between Germany any Russia had been close to the breaking point for years before the conference at Munich in 1938. Russia was not even represented at that conference. When I was in Czecho-Slovakia in September, 1938, I saw Russian bombing planes on Czech air fields bombers that had been sent to fight Germany if she invaded Czecho slovakia.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS formulas of propaganda than it is by the factual developments of the war. For instance, the news of almost every campaign of the war has followed a fixed formula. First there are headlines of German aggression. Then unlimited aid is promised to the attacked nation. Then, for a few days, we are encouraged by allied successes and some one says it Is the turning point of the war.

Then. A there are any allied forces present, they evacuate. Then the defending armies collapse. Always a British Victory. Finally an announcement is made that the campaign was really a victory for the British because it upset the time schedule or the German army.

This is no reflection on the Brmsh soldier. He has shown great courage, but he has been put in impossible situations, and he has been appallingly equipped. Try this formula on the campaigns to date and see how many it fits. Try it on Poland. Norway, Holland and Belgium, France.
