We are for any American policy
that does not win the applause of ,

stooges.

Smart people are not the ones that

The churches of Pitt County offer
us real value at small cost. The
wonder is why all of us fail to go to

U. S. KEEPS OUT OP WAR?L
SO PARI 1
The European war is two years 1
>Jd and while the United States has
oner since dropped all pretense to
leutrality, in regards to the com
Mt, the President has managed, -thus
far, to keep out of the shooting stage.
It is a question whether this will
>e possible if the war lasts another
two years but there can be little
k>ubt,of the success of the Presi- -
ient's strategy so far. Mr. Roose
velt, it seems, still intends to keep
out of the war, if he can, but he ad
nits that the decision may not be
left entirely to us.
In brie?/it seems, that the Presi- 1
lent entertains the idea that this
?untry, recognizing its fundamental 1
:oncern with the outcome of the
struggle and the grave effects of a
Grerman triumph, should do whatever
is necessary to prevent that catas
trophe. This is predicted upon our
own best interests, as he sees them. 1
By giving prompt assistance in
the form of material to the belliger
ent nations it is hoped that-the de
feat of Germany will be accomplish
ed by nations now involved in the
actual warfare. The fact that we
are not in the war, now, because of -
this policy is understandable when
we comprehend the Hitlerian policy
of taking on his enemies "one by
one." Just now, Germany does not
wish to have us among her active 5
enemies and it is possible that this
condition may last throughout the .
struggle. * 1
U. S. MUST PLAY ITS PART J
i
-
It is too late to speculate upon the *
consequences to this country and the
world 'of the failure of the United (
States to join the League of Nations. ,
It is not too early to decide that, (
after this war, when the nations of
the earth begin to build again the (
bright future that their peoples de
sire, the United States 'will cooperate 1
with the 'democratic nations of the }
world in arranging that law - and
order shall prevail and that lawless {
aggressions shall be definitely con- ?
trolled.
The gain that will result from
friendly coopersti'on with free peo
ples holds out the . opes, at least, that
the after-effects of warfare will not
be as serious as before. The rehabi
litation of war-stricken nations will
require the work of all available men
and if statesmen will arrange for the
systematic development of trade '
there is some reason to believe that 3
a destructive depression can be avoid
ed.
The rewards that flow from co- 1
operation, in promoting world im- j
provement, are enough to warrant -
the attempt. Nations igpst-ftam to
live and let live, if they" would avoid i
future wan. Those who stand for <
freedom and progressive civilization,
under law, are willing for others to
live and th?y must be prepared and 1
willing, if necessary, to strike down ,
those who would seise power for
themselves, without regards 4o right j
or rights.
