MUST STAY OUT
AMERICA AND THE WAR. “The majority of Americans are convinced that Britain arid France are right, but are determined that America should staiy ouit of the war,’said Mr Gram Swihg, a commentator on American affairs, broadcasting from New York to the British pub-
lie. “That determination is the Strongest idea in American life today, and since that is true I think it needs to be faced. The determination not to fight cannot be a determination .not to fight on the side of Great Britain and France, for most people are in sympathy with their cause. It is a loathing of war. It is a loathing to be involved in a European war. It is a feeling which prises from a sense of security. Nobody in the United
States need to fear an immediate danger. Bombs are not going to be dropped on New York. No one is going to send tanks across our frontiers. While the great majority of the people are determined that America should stay out I do not believe that the whole of the majority or anything like believe it is going to be possible. The -war may not look today as it will six months or a year hence.”
