WAR v. PEACE
The columniste are the voice of America. What do they say about war... and peace? Where do they imagine America stands if it comes to a show-down in Europe?
President Roosevelt says, that if there is war, then America takes an active part. The issue spilts' the country. It is, No. 1 Talking Poini, so the American news-magazine, “Life," has just run a symposium of the leading columnists' views. Here are some of their opinions:

"If we must have another Unknown Soldier-let us not ask him to die for an unknown reason! And just what will be accomplished by dying in the mud? He will not increase America's resources; the last war nearly ruined our fertile lands. He will not increase America's wealth; in the last war we loaned our gold and were gold-bricked in return..
"America musi learn that her sons abroad will bring monuments to. her glory-but her sons at home are a monument to her common sense, The future of American youth is on top of American soil-not underneath European dirt.”

Eleanor Roosevelt

seems to me that the newspapers these days are full of wore and rumours of wars, but I do not think that the contention' that this country is in need of a society to keep as out of war is very well founded, I wonder whether we have decided to hide behind neutrality? It is safe, perhaps, but I am not sure that it is always right to be safe..
"Every time o nation which has known freedom Joses it, other free nations lose something, too. They and themselves undergoing a gradual process of amputation. This country knows that at some time amputations of freedom must ceuse, and the world knows that the weight of our re- sources must be thrown on the side that will permit us to open a news- paper without wondering what new nation has been enslaved."
