' . This newspaper invites its readers to express their opinions on matters of public interest through its columns. The. Press Maconian is independent in its policies and is glad to print both sides of any' .Question. .Letters to the . editor should be written legibly on only one side of the paper and should be of reasonable length. The editor reserves the right to reject letters which are too long, are of small general interest or which would violate " the sensibilities of our readers. ' '. A .Half-Hearted Congress ESTERDAY morning's paper had three stream er headlines. They vere significant. The first and third, in bold, big tvpe, read "PETAIN LINES UP FRANCE WITH AXIS 'NEW ORDER'"; and "HOUSE APPROVES DRAFT EXPAN SION. BY ONE VOTE." In lighter type between ' is this :. "Russian Forces Trapped In Odessa Area, Berlin Claims." Now the articles so headed reveal much that is depressing to the average citizen who is ready and willing to sacrifice himself to save his country at this critical time. . First, we read that Marshall Petain has 'fatefully summoned France to collaborate willingly with Germany' to establish the 'New Order' after the Hitler pattern. Predictions are that the next move for the United States would have to be the taking over of such strategic French possessions as the Island of Mar tinique and the severing of diplomatic relations with the Hitler-controlled Vichy government whose next step might be seizure by Germany of Dakar and of the French African possessions, along with the French fleet. On the other side of Europe the Nazi army ap pears to be making progress into the heart of the: Ukraine, opening new supplies for support of Hit ler's war machine for further conquest. Another front page headline announces, 'Japan Determined To Push Drive to South', which means that our national security is further threatened in the Pacific. ; In the face of these new threats and of the rea sonable representations of Army and Navy leaders that the drafted men are scattered in regular army units, almost half of our representatives in the lower house of the Congress would disrupt the mil itary defenses. Depressing as the whole world situation is at this moment which anyone of average intelligence can , see is not a localized quarrel between Nazi controlled Europe and the British Empire, but a world revolution portending ruin for all nations if the United States falters loyal citizens cannot bring themselves to believe that the nation is as half-hearted as its Congress. .We believe that the youth of America, whom many of these older men in Washington have claimed will accuse their government of bad faith, will repudiate the cowardice of those who vote to hamstring their nation's defenses. Whatever their motive in so doing, Hitler has every reason to re joice that he has half lacking one of the support of the lower house of the Congress of the United States on his" side. We believe that the folks back home, whose votes placed these men in their high position of trust, will, by their voice and vote, consign them the oblivion they deserve. , Highlands Highlights MRS.

JOT tne Nazi gains which threaten the conquest of most of the rich Ukraine, not the intensification of the Far Eastern crisis which alarms Australia and sends American Army officers into con sultation with the defenders of the Netherlands Undies none of these , things, but Secretary Hull's statement recently, repeating what all have heard before, was the world's biggest news of. August 11. For what the Secretary of State said relates directly to the spirit, men tality, morale and capacity of self-government of the United States and its people.- . ' Failure -of Congress to extend the time1-for selective service train ing will seriously injure United States prestige in Germany . and Japan at a critical time, the Secretary of State said. Then he said something far more momentous, though it has been said before now by others, including President Roosevelt himself, a few -weeks ago. Asked by a reporter if he thought the nation appreciates the gravity of the situation, Mr. Hull replied that the people do not understand the seriousness of. the world situation, and that this lack of awareness is today the most ominous fact about American and the world crisis. Urged to take the forum and exhort the nation on its blindness. Secretary Hull somewhat sadly answered that he had spoken before now. that others have spoken, that events abroad have spoken more loudly than any words. All this, alas, is only too true. Always there have bee,n those who would not believe anything not substantial enough and imminent enough to threaten them with the assault and battery of hard, ma terial facts. "They would not believe, though one rose from the dead." Such today are the isolationists, some of them embittered and ill-balanced, others of them cunning politicians. These false leaders, and they are false leaders even though personally honest men, have deluded and confused some millions who now are, without the inter vention of the majority, as helpless and as much under menace as France was a few months before war began.
