Senator Borah's recent warning that a naval race will cause war states only half the problem, for the struggle for superiority in arms is a symptom of more fundamental animosities. It is true, as the Senator laments, that the impending renunciation of treaty restrictions gives the lie to the professions of pacifism which our diplomats bandy about, but those paper limitations, so readily abandoned, are rather a confession of intent to give battle than a statement of Christian generosity. The signatories, like mutually mistrustful urchins, concede one another a theoretically equal start, but tacitly confess the possibility of hostilities...

Roosevelt is simply a symptom of that process and not its cause." The Old Deal is dead. "Whatever happens, the New Deal will go on-as either a peaceful revolution or a bloody one-for ten, 20 or 50 more years, until it has achieved its purpose." Even most Republicans would agree with the anonymous...
