of this country could be dragged
into war because they knew that
we were not very well satisfied with
the way the last one turned out.
Furthermore, I don't believe that
our ambassador to Britain talked
nearly as much, nor was as greatly
enthused over the prospects of our
engaging in a European war, as were
the millionaire playboys who rep
resented us in some of the other
countries.
However, after, all of the "quar
antine" and "anti-aggression" spee
ches and miscellaneous conversation
that thev had been listening to that
came either directly or indirectly i
from this country, even the British
felt pretty sure that any wavering
on our part could be overcome by a
little clever propaganda, and they
lost no time in getting started. The
ship that I sailed on from England
to America late in October was
crowded with "British Lords," and
others, coming over to make speech
es and advise us as to our duty.
The rather remarkable thing is that
these exotic lecturers seldom ad
dressed groups of ex-service men,
farmers, labor unions or business
men's clubs, but seemed to concen
trate on church groups, college as
semblies, women's clubs, and the
so-called intellectual gatherings.
For the last two or three years
the President has been making dire
threats against "dictators," one and
all, and at the same time has done
little to back up his threats. It has
alwavs seemed to me that if you are
going to give a man a "cussin' " that
you had better be prepared to fight
, him. But he hasn't done this. With
all of his loud talk, he has been
carrying a "sling shot" around to
back it up. Furthermore, it is doubt
ful if "methods short of war" will,
in the end, affect the inevitable out
come, one way or the other. The
Allies do not need loans because
they already have many times more
money and resources than do their
opponents. The clever efforts of
Britain to secure a loan in this
country is not because she needs the
money, but because it will be the
means of drawing the United States
one step nearer into active war. It
is even doubtful whether large
quantities of mechanized equipment
would be of much value at this late
date because it takes men weeks and
even months to learn how to operate
such intricate weapons. The French,
as a race, are more or less a peasant
people and don t understand ma
chinery anyway.
So. after all is said and done, what
these people expected to see was
"clouds of American aeroplanes
with Americans flying them. And
on top of that, they expected to see
lone columns of mechanized equip
ment with Americans driving it
Now, then, if these countries are
forced to make peace on German
tems thev are eoing to feel very
bitter towards the United States.
Rtwttip of them, at least, are going to
toll us that thev could have reached
a peaceful settlement, without much
loss, with the Germans, but oecause
of our encouragement and iri the be
lief that they could expect help
from us, they accepted war instead.
Gprmanv. and the other totaiitar
ian powers, on the other hand, are
naturally going to feel hostile to
wn rA a us because of the aid that we
did give their opponents. While it
may not have been suilicient to ai
feet the final outcome ot tne con
flin- it has nevertheless been suf
ficie'nt to prolong the conflict and
Una without, nuestion resulted in the
additional loss of several thousands
of their soldiers. So what this "me
thod short of war" policy has really
c,,1tAo in is the solution ot noth
ing, and at the same time we have
made enemies ot bom sio.es. xne
firmans, because we helped the
Allies, and the Allies, because we
didn't help them enough.
