(An Editorial)
A Lcose-Tongued Luce
Clare Booth Luce is said to be very
beautiful.
She is a very beautiful liar unless,
forsooth, she is short on information,
and is only innocently loose-tongued.
The congresswoman 'from Connecti
cut, as you have probably noticed, is one
of President Roosevelt's most caustic
critics.
Her speciality is foreign policies, and
as the President is and has been without
one of these most useful implements,
Clare tries assiduously to supply the
need.
At this time Clare is busy trying to
justify the isolationist policies of her
party by shifting the blame.
She says:
"The American people could never
have been branded as isolationist if
President Roosevelt and his state de
partment had disclosed to the nation
the danger of which they themselves
were fully aware. The administration
suppressed the facts because 1940 was
an election year."
For the information of Mrs. Luce,
President Roosevelt began rebuilding
the navy in 1933 as soon as he took office.
(At that time Mrs. Luce was writing fa
shion notes for New Yo*k social butter
flies, and did not know that the Harding
administration had sunk 15 battleships
and 7 heavy cruisers left to them by the
Wilson administration).
Neither did she remember that her
party had cut down the army to the sta
tus of a Boy Scout troop.
Yet this congressional snake-charmer
says Roosevelt had left us unprepared.
We wonder if Clare remembers 'way
back in 1937 when Roosevelt warned us
that our frontier was the Rhine, and
that her party replied to him when he
urged the quarantine of the "maddog"
nations Germany, Italy and Japan—
"the President is a war monger."
She says Roosevelt suppressed the
truth because 1940 was an election year.
But the fortification of Guam came be
fore congress in 1938, and Clare's party
voted 138 to 15 against it.
And in June, '39, when the bill came up
to increase the construction of military
airplanes, Clare's party voted 122 to 5
against it.
Also in June, 1939, it was proposed to
sell munitions to England in her war
against "maddog" Germany, and Clare's
party in the lower house of Congress
voted 150 to 8 against it.
Then in November, 1939, the bill to re
vise the neutrality law came up, a law to
provide the British, Poles, etc., with wea
pons to hold back the nations against
which Roosevelt had warned us. Clare's
party voted 140 to 20 against it.
That wasn't an election year. But 1940
was. And in September of that year, on
• ly 60 days before the election, President
Roosevelt disregarded political danger
and demanded the passage of the con
scription law. It passed. But Clare's
party voted 112 to 52 against it.
If Clare is not a beautiful liar, she is a
beautiful innocent.
