...public opinion that the U. S. verges on war on the side of the democracies against the dictators does not mean that the U. S. wants to go to war. On the question of whether the U.

Addressed to the President, the petition declares that "in the name of 'neutrality' our government is helping to snuff out the life of the Spanish Republic . . . The fall of Barcelona is due in part to an un-neutral policy pursued by the United States, While we refuse to sell arms to the elected government of Spain, we nevertheless impose no restrictions on such sales to Italy and Germany. Thus, unable to supply her men with the most elementary equipment, Barcelona had to succumb . . . to German and Italian arms . . . The interests of peace and sane international relations demand that the arms...
