Although every American is certain he wants to keep out of Europe’s war, he is more inclined to believe that responsibility of maintaining neutrality is only that of the administration and congress. He overlooks the obvious fact that it is his attitude—and the atti tudes of other millions like him—that determines our participation in war. For if he continues to heap coals of blame on Hitler alone then he will be taking the first step towards war; he will be building up in his mind a war aim—punish ment of the “wrongdoer.” Ho, and all Americans, should remember that the designation of one side or the other as the all-guilty belligerent automatically selects an enemy for this country. Once we are quite sure of our enemy, then the roe d to actual hostilities has been selected. We don’t wage war without first developing a national hate, and unthinking hysteria concerning Germany and Russia at this time most certainly will furnish the hate. It is hard to avoid emotion when reading of the plight of innocent neutrals like Finland and Poland, but the price of peace includes a determined emotional reserve. The easy attitude is to call Hitler and Stalin a lot of uncouth, dirty names and regard German and Rus sian soldiers as merciless butchers. But that thought habit is the same which caused the American people to demand entry into the last World war. We got into that fight during a wave of national hatred and it was not until long after the war that»we realized there had been two sides to the argument. Today, too, there are two sides to the European question, although most of us agree there is less blame on the side of the allies. But we should preserve our sense of fairness and emotional tolerance if we are to preserve peace for ourslves. It will be time enough to fan hatreds and curse enemies when they attack us; there’s no sense in jumping the oceans with our emo tions, because they might take us along. ★ ★ ★ NOTHING IS MORE SUBVERSIVE THAN A DEMOCRACY OF CONVENIENCE! Since Special Trial Examiner Dean M. Landis has made public his lengthy report exonerating Harry Bridges from charges that he is a communist, a bap tism of fire has been heaped on the jurist’s head by those who would rid the coast of the CIO leader by cossack methods, blood purge or any other undemo cratic means at hand. And when Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins accepted Landis’ report and dismissed a deportation warrant she had issued against Bridges, critics promptly transferred their abuse onto her fem inine shoulders. There are times, it seems, when justice and equal treatment are not wanted by so-called defenders of democracy. They would “preserve” our form of gov ernment by resorting to totalitarian tactics. So we have the spectacle of Bridges’ critics being less democratic in practice than is the CIO leader in this controversy. The situation is no defense for the labor leader, but it most certainly is a condemnation of his outspoken foes. Democracy, like pudding, is proved by the eating of it. To call the hearing’s verdict a “whitewashing” is to ignore the very things in which we profess to have entrusted with our destiny. • W. M.
