Stay-Outers
WAR & PEACE
North Dakota's Senator Gerald("Munitions") Nye last week lectured the Senate on propaganda,suggesting that plenty of it was afoot today as in 1914-17 to draw theU. S. abroad. Said he: '"We cannot escape part in it if war comes to Europe.' Why does this thought persist and grow . . .? Norway, Sweden,Denmark, Holland, Switzerland and Spain stayed out of the last war. There were 55,000,000 people living in democracies at the very door of the war in Europe. If they could stay out . . . why must we even lend ourselves to the thought that we cannot stay out? . . ." Gerald Nye did not give his opinion of the former stay-outers' chances of staying out next time.
