NA. 8872 AR R e War Fronts Shape U. S. Foreign Policy, Engineers Told Candidates Who Talk To Please Audience Assailed by Educator The Republican candidates for President are trying to cajole the American people into believing this country can without doubt keep out of war, when they themselves don't know, it was asserted yesterday by James G. McDonald, president of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. “They just say this because they think their audiences like to hear it,” Mr. McDonald told the American Society‘of Military Engineers, hold- ing its annual meeting at the Wil- diard Hotel. The educator, founder of the For- eign Policy Association and former League of Nations High Commis- sioner for Refugees Coming from Germany, declared that 'American foreign policy will in fact be “shaped | on the foreign battlefields.” “Upon the results of the actual and prospective conflicts in Europe and Asia, much more than upon the speeches of Presidential candidates, depends the future attitude of our country towards the rest of the world”, he contended. ‘War Likened to Opera Prelude. He said the war as se far un- folded is like the prelude to & Wagnerian opera—with the com- plete cast of characters and list of scenes as yet undisclosed. What the war will mean to America hangs upon the decisions of Italy, Russia and Japan he declared. A sharply worded criticism by the pacifist section of the American youth movement was made by the society's retiring president, white- haired Brig. Gen. George B. Pills- bury, who retired three years ago as assistant chief of the Army’s engineers. He now lives in Ross, Calif, He said he was convinced the doctrine of non-resistance has been “froth and scum rising to the sur- face of our national philosophy.” Sees No Lack of Courage. “I am unable to grasp the attitude of some of our adolescents toward war,” he confessed. *Obviously no sane person in this country regards war as a pleasurable or desirable occupation. Neither is a surgical operation & pleasurable or desirable event, but when convinced that suffering and danger are essential to our life or well-being, few of us are so weak and cowardly that we do not face it unflinchingly.” He said the thought ‘“our people as a whole are as sound, as self- denying and as courageous as they were in 1917 and 1918.” M. J. Gormley, executive assist- ant, Association of American Rail- roads, was the third speaker to con- sider the possibility of American entry into battle. He said the 'Na- tion’s railways are capable of car- ing for war transportation needs. As proof, he cited these figures: In February, 1918, there were ex- ported through the Nofth Atlantic ports 664,000 tons of goods. In the same month of 1940 there were ex- ported 693,000 tons. Mr, Gormley stated that in 1918 “there was rail- road congestion at the ports, em- bargoes were in effect and permits were outstanding for 16,798 cars. In 1940, with a greater traffic, there wlsd no congegtion or delay of any kind.” Art Project To encourage the artistic talents ering various branches of civil de- kept as an artistic record. visif of Civil Defense volunteers in Eng- | land the government has asked | them paint or sketch subjects cov- | fense, and works of merit will be | ' WASHINGTON, D.

Land Transfer Approved ‘The House Naval Affairs Commit- tee approved a bill te authorize the Navy Department to transfer to the Commonwealth of Virginia a tract of land at the Naval Proving Ground at Dahlgren to permit rerouting of a highway.
