S. SHOULD WATCH HITLER hurts | The word comes from Washington that ithe President is convinced that Hitler will not declare war upon the United States, re- | gardiess of what we do in regards to the | | war in Europe. This conclusion, we think, is sound for the present. The future may produce a soning will not be valid. Hitier is apt to treat the United States exactly like he treated Russia. As long as | it suits his purpose he will “lay low’ j | say nothing. At the opportune time, if it | comes, he will launch a sudden, unexpected attack. It may be safely assumed that the | United States has already earned the un- dying hatred of the Nazi Fuehrer. Back of the desperate gamble in attacking Soviet Russia may be the spectre of American sup- plies, tipping the scales of armament in favor of Great Britain. If Hitler succeeds in whipping Russia, | to the point that the Red army ceases to be | an effective fighting force, we suspect that the next German offensive will be against the British Isles “and that, if this succeeds, the second wilf be against the United States. It will be just as well for the people of the United States to prepare their defenses against the worst that can happe This will be a combination of Germany. y and J with the possible assi ce of Fraaco in Spain. The aim wil be the con- quer of the Western Hemisphere and the ision of the rich territorial and monetary spoils that these continents offer. ALMOST AN ISOLATIONIST Mahatma Ghandi, Indian leader, wants a peace without a victory and urges the United States, before giving unlimited assistance to Great Britain, to inquire about the future of India, and other colonial po: ssessions. The’ Mahatma has the maxines be a ideal isolationist. He is not worried, ap- parently, about the fate of Belgians, Nor- wegians, Poles, Czechs, Greeks and other peoples of Europe. Like some people in the United States the Indian Nationalist likes to pick at the British lion, new engaged in a desperate struggle with a gang of predatory bandits, but has nothing whatever to say about the international cutthroats that threaten to make permanent wrongs that are much greater than anything that the British have ; | done in India, and elsewhere.
