methods "short of war" through which the United States would bring essential and probably de- cisive aid to those nations which obviously will not provoke war, since they have the most to lose by it.
Need the application of these methods draw the United States into the war? A United States determined to stay out of general war will have to exert great for- bearance whether it offers aid to one side or to both or to neither. If America's determination is sufficient to carry it through the major depression that would re- sult from economic insulation, it may well be great enough to withstand the pressures which would drive America to war for any other economic reason.
The fact should not be over- looked or dismissed lightly that the United States already has developed an emotional attach- ment to one side in the European conflict, even before Americans have acquired a material stake in the outcome of it. This emo- tional factor need not express it- self in concern for the future of the British and French empires. Even where it disowns faith in British and French guardianship of values cherished by Amer- icans, it still finds a hearty voice to vent its abhorence of the methods of dictatorship

Mere condemnation of one set of nations is a negative contribu- tion to peace. It fans flames of [hatred at home and abroad. If Americans can honestly be neu- tral, car talk as neutrals, feel as neutrals, then they should also act as neutrals. Otherwise, says the "Monitor," winding up, sup- port for that group of nations. with the greatest measure of right on its side, as Americans: estimate right, is at once the more logical and the more practi- cal expression of American in- terest in an orderly world...
