"THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD. N. C, FBIDAY, MARCH 7, 1941 "
OiJTTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Dear Editor:
Y Vvill thee please publish the fol
lowing article in this week's Per
quimans Weekly?
Thanking thee for all favors, I am,
Sincerely,
MATTIE E. SAUNDERS.
34-1941.
I once heard a college professor of
History say that after having taught
the Civil War Period to a class in
North Carolina History at a summer
school tor teachers, he gave for ex
amination one question: "Yvrite whai
you have learned in this course dur
ing this term," and that when look
ing over the papers handed in, he
found one which contained a singiu
sentence: "I have learned there ai
wo sides to every question." H
added, "And 1 gave her a One, be
cause I thought she deserved it, ioi
when we learn tiiis we have made
great progress."
There are two sides to the great
struggles facing this country and thn
world today, and by that I do not
rexer to the line which divides the
Allies and the Axis Powers, but to
the different ways which really hon
est thinks believe the surest way to
preserve democracy both at homu
and abroad.
Al who near the liuio or read the
newspapers know what the Govern
ment thinks the best way: To give
the Allies all possible aid, even tt
the extent provided for in the Lease
Lend Bill' now before Congress.
A widely different way, which has
been given little publicity by the
press or radio in this country, is be
ing advocated by a minority , group
in this and other countries. It is
this way which I wish to present
here.
These people see the futility of all
wars, because all belligerent nations
are losers when the vast destruction
of life and property added to the
money and energy diverted from ef
forts to improve living standards
and the betterment of mankind are
considered. They believe people
must come to think of world interest!,
before national interests; that great
social and economic changes should
be worked out for the whole world,
and that this can best be done be
fore Europe becomes wholly ex
hausted, and before the United States
gets herself farther into the great
struggle. They think neither Eng
land nor Germany can win this wax
in any real sense, but that only
Stalin could be a real winner, be
cause the military conquest of Ger
many, if it is possible, "would re
quire a long and bitter struggle on
the continent of Europe, which would
so impoverish all countries involved
and so destroy their living standards
that chaos and counter-revolutioh
would be practically inevitable. The
sweetness and light of democracy
would not ensue . ; . Democracy re
quires spiritual preparation and it
cannot be imposed or maintained by
force." Also, that if Britain should
not de-eat Germany, it does not mean
that Germany will conquer Britain.
"To bring Britain to her knees
would not be a difficult task ... To
hold forty million Britishers in sub
jection is a task too formidable for
any British tyrant to attempt much
less a foreigner. Hitler is apparent
ly having difficulties already with
freedom-loving France."
If the belligerents would make
their war aims clear, people wouia
be better able to evaluate the just
ness of their claims. The English
government has been urged time and
again to make a clear statement of
its aims. The American press has
reported three outstanding debates
in Parliament when the government
was pressed for a statement of its
aims and of the nature of the peace
toward which it would work, but su
far it has refused to be specific.
The Hansard (British equivalent oi
our Congressional Records) quotes
Lord Ponsonley as saying, "Hitlei
should be asked to declare what his
precise objectives are
the wal" It Also says: "Unless the
nations will coma to realize that
prosperity, like peace, Is- indivisible,)
the war wiU be fought in vain. Wo
must develop as great a readiness to
embrace drastic and unconditional
methods for the maintenance oi
peace as that with which we confront
the war itself."
Time and Tide says if "the founda
tions of the new world we want to
build ... are not rightly laid now,
it is only too likely they will not be
laid at all."
"It is not enough," said the Man
chester Guardian, "to answer Hitler
by saying we want to restore a Eu
rope of free peoples. We have t
make it known that we have ideau
for the cooperation of those free
peoples in an economic order that
will save Europe from the calamities
that followed the last war . . . We
have to make it clear that we do not
wish to substitute for a world order
designed by Germany a world ordex
designed by Britain, and that no sel
fish interest will be allowed to thwart
or embarrass the common purpose."
In regard to concrete changes to
take place after the war which should
be taken into account when stating
war aims, Stokes of Ipswick saia,
"If we are to have peace, tariff must
go: and as soon as we, one of the
leading nations, make it clear thati
that is a policy we support, the bet-
ter it will be ... I would like to see
it made clear that the British iun
pire, with its enormous land aieaa
and resources, is prepared to Qo
something for the security of Eu
rope. . . . Make it clear to all peoples,
whatever their creed, however much
they may be our enemies, that t7iese
restrictions will be swept aside, that
we will do our utmost to bring
economic security to all the peoples
of Europe; and in that way assurw
that, in so far as in us lies, peace
shall be brought to all the peoples
of the earth."
If the chaos into which the world
has been plunged and is now floun
dering is an outburst of reaction
from the injustice and inequalities
of the old order which is now ouv
grown and must inevitably be chang
ed, the sooner the nations recogniz
this, and put these needed changes
foremost in their minds and hearts
the better, it will be for the world and
for democracy. The foregoing quota
tions from the British show there ar
many in that nation who realize the
need of social and economic changes
as well as in this country.
Doubtless our government has tha
betterment of the world in mind
when advocating aid to Britain; on
the other side, there are those who
lelieve that the United States should
devote its energies to bring about
these great social and economic
c'.ianges through negotiations. The
i resident repudiated a negotiated
I peace as ignoble "appeasement", but
it is "nevertheless probably the best
way out of a bad situation. We have
no right to incite Britain to keep up
the fight until she is pounded to
death in order that we may have
time to arm."
The war will have to end some
time and an adjustment be made.
Why should the struggle be prolong
ed for years when the leaders must
at least meet around a table ana
draw up their terms of peace? Why
can we not learn to think of others
as well as ourselves and plan for the
great changes which are needed in
the world? Why do the people of
the nations not rise up and demand
of their leaders just what their aims
are so that these objectives may be
planned for? How can we, the peo
ple of the United States, preserve
our democracy by surrendering our
liberty, as we would be doing if the
Lease-Lend Bill passes Congress ?
Why cannot the United States take
the humanitarian view and use its
energy to bring about the social and
economic changes needed to raise
the standards of living in our own
country and in the world to a levei
that will bring prosperity to all na
tions ?
These are some of the thoughts
foremost in the znindj of many peo
ple, and present in a measure the
