T s titute we T'ropical | (New York Times) A strong argument can be made and has been made for American aid to Russia, but this argu- ment does not rest on the preposterous notion that | Russia is a democracy. It rests, instead, on mili- tary grounds—and on these grounds exclusively. Russia is fighting Hitler, and Hitler is the one great threat to our security. American aid to Russia thus becomes a question of military strategy. It ought to be treated as such, We shall merely delude our- selves if we try to justify aid for Russia on the (ground that the Soviets share our democratic theories. A case in point is President’ Roosevelt's discovery that the Soviet Constitution guarantees freedom of worship in Russia. It is right there, in Article 124. But the Soviet Constitution guarantees a large num- | ber of things—in the abstract. For example: the very next article, No. 125, guarantees “freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly and of holding mass meetings, freedom of street pro- cessions and demonstrations.” The imagination balks at conceiving of any minority group in Russia exercising in slightest degree any one of these fine freedoms. The jails are full of those who tried. It ought to be possible for us to keep our think- | straight. We can honor the splendid courage | the Russian people now fighting against Hitler the defense of their own soil. We can recognize | the advantage from the point of view of the democ- racies pf keeping Russia in the war, though the question of how 'much actual aid we can give at this time must necessarily be considered in relation to such other factors as our still lagging production of war materials, the problem of transportation, and the strong case to be made for sending the great bulk of our aid to Britain. But there the matter ought to stand. If Stalins Russia is a democracy, then so is Hitler's Germany. hefore present | 1at Vice-President of Agriculture, two | partment of Agri- | able agriculture in plans along this isphere solidarity” cattlemen in this rgentine beef sold low the figures at y their own meat. raisers and grain rof trade agree- Argentine was allowed to They pointed out of good beef and going begging in Europe strong bids felt that at Latin built 1 of t ng out it was ns with the ing of and for of tropical agricul- F'be under Nelson Af- N.
