From the impending conflict in Europe our United States have remained aloof. President Roosevelt and Mr. Hull have said nothing that more than point the direction of our sympathies. Their hands, unfortunately, are tied by the 1936 Neutrality Act. But there is no doubt among the foreign leaders that America, with its natural bigness, could avoid a world war by stepping into the present crisis and arbitrating.

Horatius-at-the-Bridge stood and fought; he did not go 3,000 miles across the continent to lie about his adversaries...
