WINGER. 39-llo >0 THE CHANGING PUBLIC ATTITUDE The best informed news commentators appear to agree that then» i-s a strong possibility that America may participate in the present European war just as we did in 1918. In 1918 we went to war to save democracy and this time we are going to save Britain so that démocratie nations can survive, so it all boils down to the same thing for us to see history repeat itself in the course of twenty-five years. News from Washington is to the effect that material aid fo r England won’t be enough to save her: thut the only way this can be done is by active participation and that active par ticipation can’t be successful until we are better prepared and the morale of the American public is prepared to accept a part in the program. I p to recently there has been strong opposition toward taking part in another war. hut this attitude is gradual ly being softened. So there isn’t much the average American can do about the situation hut do his part when the time comes, hut probably with less enthusiasm than twenty-five years ago.
