It illustrates how dic- tatcr carefully build up their streagth against the democracies befcre the peace-loving people of the latter countries know what they are in for. In the late summer of 1937, it was obvi to President Roosevelt, Adm:. Willilam Leahy, and many othcr observers—including this col- umrist, who repeatedly warned of it—t a world war was inevitable the dictators continued their mar of unchecked aggression. Je 1 was rapidly swallowing China. Mussolini had gulped down Ethiopia and was licking his chops for more. Hitler had annexed Austria, bitten off the Rubr, and was at Czechoslovakia.

Japan being an island country, wholly dependent on basic imports, such a blockade was fairly easy. Finally, in order to mobilize world { public opinion and peaec machinery against the war lords, Roosevelt called > Brussels con- ference of nine-power treaty na- tions which had guaranteed the sovereignty of China and asked them to carry out their pledge. Th famous of 1837 agal taneously, long Japanese Who Killed Peace? I have giever been able to find out exactly what killed this laud- able and highly important attempt to prevent the world war that most people knew was coming. The late Norman Davis, chief American del- egate to the Brussels conference, Un- ! fiof a e e e | told me that his attempts to tako! |a firm stand against Japanese ag- | gression were constantly sabotaged in the State Department. His peeches and statements, when cabled back Washington from Br rewritten and drastically toned down by the late Hugh Wilson, who | had the ear of Cordell Hull. In addition, Jim Farley was re- ported concerned about midwest political reaction to Roosevelt's bold “guarantine” speech. But I think | the basic trouble was | himself either neglected the all- important step he had taken, or else didn't have the courage to| face the risk of possible war. At the time the Brusséls confer- ence reached a crisi he was off the California coast, fishir ng. to | USS Panay Sunk Two months later, when the Jap war lords deliberately and brazenly tested out American courage by sinking the gunboat USS Panay on ‘the Yangtze River, Admiral Leahy |once again urged that his blockade machinery be put into effect. But once again Hugh Wilson urged ‘caution. In the end, both Hull land Roosevelt shunned the risk of a showdown, At that time—December 1937— |the dictators were far from ready for a war. They lacked the raw | materials, the arms, even the man- | power. They were biting off chunks fof the world, piecemeal, in order to build up their strength. But despite this, the United | States side-stepped. Roosevelt, ‘stxong as he was politically as he was on foreign policy, shrank ;from that tough, difficult decision long-range naval blockade, which, though the chances of su cess were excellent, nevertheless did carry the risk of war. President Truman, faced with somewhat the same problem in Korea, did not flinch. He knew what the risks were. But he also knew that a stand against con- }inued Russian aggression had to be taken some time. Those are some of the background facts we need to remember and which Should help bring more na- tional unity in the difficult crisis we face today. | e o 0 05 0 0 0 0 TIDE TABLE AUGUST 6 Low tide 1:41 am.
