Chorus

WAR & PEACE

The voice of isolation last week sounded as if it were being rapidly drowned out by a growing chorus of U.S. determination to face Naziism and beat it. Some voices in the chorus:

> In Los Angeles, while Isolationist Charles Lindbergh* was calling for a negotiated peace at an America First rally, Mayor Fletcher Bowron proclaimed a citywide Loyalty Day. To President Roosevelt by air and train went several thousand pledges of unity, first of 2,000,000 to be circulated in Los Angeles County.

> Nebraska's stanch old World War I isolationist Senator George W. Norris declared himself for war "if necessary."

> The Cleveland Chamber of Commerce took a full-page advertisement in the newspapers to tell Cleveland citizens: "We are called upon to defend our way of life against barbarians. . . . Day by day we accumulate strength for our purpose. . . . Here in Cleveland let us work together seriously and unselfishly so that we may survive in peace and liberty."

> Governor Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota, isolationism's stronghold, told the Chicago Tribune that he supported the President's foreign policy all the way. Said Republican Stassen: "In this country there can be only one foreign policy at one time. ... I believe we must give united support ... to the established foreign policy of the Federal Government."

> In Milwaukee the Wisconsin Federation of German-American Societies, with 60 member-groups, pledged itself "to fight with every means at our disposal the totalitarian form of government and everything it stands for."

> The Charlotte, N.C. City Council changed the name of Lindbergh Drive to Avon Terrace.

* The Lone Eagle's comment when he heard that Germany had declared war on Russia: "A very, very unusual development. But I'm not at all surprised. It is something that requires profound analysis."
