What Is An Isolationist?
Sooner or later preferably the former the term
"isolationist" should be more exactly defined, .
During the recent lamented campaign, a great deal
was said and done about the isolationists.
"Purge" is the word. Practically all the radical
U. S. isolationists were kicked out of office. -
fXKE of them was our own Senator Rufus Holman.
L A J? A - Tl.- AT- 1. ,A.'
According UJ ivuius una waa a rau& uijusuce.,
If to put the Interests of my own county ahead of the
Interests of some foreign country is to be an "isolationist,"
then I am an Isolationist But if to be an "isolationist" is '
to oppose the present war, or in any way do anything to
delay a complete allied victory, then I most certainly am.
not an "Isolationist" . .; ,(
Knowiner the Senator pretty well we have no doubt,
whatever, that he was entirely sincere in making that
statement. ' - - ,;
- Yet in view of his political record, before Pearl
Harbor. . Senator Holman DID. qualify. . politically
speaking, as an "isolationist". -
He voted aeainst important measures designed to
prepare this country for war, and did at times, ex-
press a . certain sympatny iur nasi uucumco-r:pi-ticularly:
along the lines of anti-Semitic propaganda.
,So as such things go, Rufus was properly an "isola
tionist" arid; was defeated at the Primaries as such.
.. , .., . ..... v . ... , ....... (,,.,
BUT, if' the 'Senator's definition of isolationist is
correct, that to place the welfare of one's own
countrv above anv other, justifies the term, then of
course Rufus Holman has plenty of company,' not only
among his present colleagues in the Senate but among
his. constituents at home, and they will steadily grow
in number as time goes on.
For everyone or practically everyone does place
the interests of his own country above the interests
of any other. This is as natural and proper, as to place
the interests of one's own family above the interests
of others. Moreover, just as the latter does not mean
excluding others, or not being reasonably coopera:
tiveand interested in the welfare of others, so the
former does not mean, excluding other nations or
failing to be cooperative and friendly toward them.
It is in short a matter not of attitude or feeling, but
of priority. Putting, as the term goes,,first things first
LJOWEVER, this, of course, is not the proper de-
finition. The proper definition of "isolationist"
is that of one who not only places the interests of his
own country' first, but refuses to consider the inter
ests of other countries in any way, and believes the
best course for this country to pursue" is to isolate
itself completely become a hermit nation suffic
ient unto itself, with no interest whatever in or. con
cern regarding any other nation. ' :
Such a person of course would not only have op
posed the present war, but now would oppose any
further participation of this country in that' war or
any .effort to secure with other nations an organiza
tion of world peace. - :-' iv.1 T
THE. point we wish to make is this: '
' T tV a. aVtrwA la q nnrvonl A ATitilfirin an iarla
tionist and ,we believe it is then there are so few
of them left in the United States, either, in public or
private life, that with the campaign over we. believe
the term should be used very sparingly in the future,
and then only by those who realize that for the dura
tion at least, it is not so much a definition as an epi
thet. : . .. - V . . . ' ' .
Return To Isolationism?
As an example of careless use of the above term
we note in a report from London that the change in
the Secretary of State office at Washington is termed
by one London newspaper as apparently a turn back
toward "American isolationism."
- The main fact supporting such a notion is the re
cent reprimand from Secretary of State Stettinius re
garding Britain's insistence that Count Sforza not be
included in the new Italian government,-as well as
this country's pronouncement that the United States
will keep hands off as far as the internal affaire of
Italy are concerned.
Supporting this two other facts are cited: '
One President Roosevelt's recent declaration that
he has never officially sanctioned "spheres of influ
nece in Europe, by Great Britain or any other coun
try. And two : neither has he committed this country.
in the matter of determining the exact boundaries of
Foland or any other nation m Europe. . , -
XELL, no one would deny this is a retreat from
and Cairo, but to term, what is merely a refusal to
interfere in the domestic aftaira of other countries in
Europe a return to isolationism, when millions of
Americans are fighting and dying in foreign lands,
to aid England and Kussia and prevent world domi
nation by the Axis, is somewhat grotesque to say the
least. .
THERE IS undoubtedly a rift in' Anglo-American
relations regarding what might be termed re
storation policies in Europe. In all Tiklihood President
Koosevelt does believe Prime Minister Churchill is
too imperialistic and veering too sharply to the right:
,. A, . 1 . X I 1 1 ?Al- A . '
iiu me utuer ns always viewed witn certain mis
givings F.D.Ks leftist tendencies.
But, to interpret this failure to see eye-to-eye, as
far as a post-war program is concerned, as a return
of the United States to what is generally known as
isolationism or anything approaching it, merely dem
onstrates once more how the abuse of the term, so
apparent in recent months in this country, has now,
gone iar oeyona its borders and to foreign lands. -
Br Eleanor Packard
United Press Correspondent
Rome, Dee. 19 (U.R) Myron
C. Taylor, President Roosevelt's
special envoy to the Vatican,
appealed to the American pub
lic last night to open its purse
to the Italian people to save
them from communism which,
he said, the United States does
not wish to see; In Italy. ,
In one of. the most forthright
public-statements of his career,
Taylor delivered .'an, impassioned-
plea ; for economic relief for
Italy and condemned the "Brit
ish :tttesis" that the Italians' are
beaten enemy, and must be
made"1o. "pay arid.pay."' ..
Taylor spoke at a dinner, ten
dered to touring members of the
Congressional Military' 'Affairs
committee by Brig. Geh. Tho
burn K. Brown,; allied coin-,
mander in the Rome area. .
At the . end of his prepared
address, Taylor locked in a
brief but acidulous enchange of
words with Congressman Paul
J. Kilday of Texas after the lat
ter had challenged his stand to
ward Italy. .
Questioned as to what form
of American aid he wanted.
Taylor said he was not seeking
congressional appropriations but
wished the committee s endorse
ment so that funds . could be
raised in the United States on a
voluntary basis similar to the
relief organizations formed to
aid allied nations.
Kilday interrupted at that
point to say that, although the
Italians are allies now, they
once were enemies and should
be made to suffer for their war
guilt as a matter of principle.
They should understand
their sins cannot so easily be
forgiven,", he said. . i .
Taylor rose immediately to
rebuke the congressman sharply-

Admiral Sir Bruce Eraser.
"The flagship of Admiral Fra

"Admiral (Teiliro) T o y o d a.

the ablest commanders Japan
has ever had. I wish to empha
