...solid fact that President Roosevelt's discretionary powers over Foreign Policy would be sharply limited. In his strain to prove the honest will of the Administration to keep out of war, and to prove his intent to give Congress control over Foreign Policy, Senator Pittman even went beyond the Constitution. For, under the Constitution the President cannot be ordered by Congress to proclaim a state of war. Constitutionalists held that this provision of the bill would subordinate the White House to Congress...
...Beyond the wondering stage and into reality went the San Francisco Exchange, which handles some $100,000,000 in sales annually, could clearly see its business vanishing into other States if "ham-&-eggs" brought the threat of an annual tax of $3,000,000-a tax greater than the total of brokers' commissions.

...would label this view naive to say the least. They would hear in the booming guns along the Saar merely the clash of rival imperialisms. And they would see in Mr. Chamberlain's devious line of march from appeasement to war merely a crass game of power politics gone beyond his control. But Mr. Greene might be left to his charitable thoughts were it not for their alarming implications. For if they are true, is it not imperative that America once more go to war for the defense of human liberties and of democracy...
