Fear spreads in Con

vinced a victorious Ger
many would force U. S.
to totalitarian basis.
(Bell Syndicate—Wm: Semce.*
WASHINGTON —The cloakroom*
of the bouse and senate is tee early
days of January are somewhat rem
iniscent of those days back in MM
when, after a call at the White
House. Sen. William J. Stone, chair
man of the foreign relations com
mittee. and Speaker Champ Clark
came back to tee Capitol with a re
port that the "President was lead
ing us into war."
So grave were the foreign reper
cussions from this situation that
President Wilson decided something
had to be done. Not only the Aloes,
but Germany, were getting wbat the
President knew was a very errone
ous picture at tee situation so far
as sny position this country might
take was concerned.
So Mr. Wilson demanded a show
down. He demanded a vote m both
bouse and senate on the issue, it
so happened that a congressman
from Texas. Jeff McLemore by
name, had introduced a resolution
warning all American citizens to
stay off armed ships. At that time
many merchantmen were bemg
armed with 4.t guns, mounted on
the stem, with the idea at their
being able to shoot any attacking
submarine.
WAVE OF FEAR EVIDENT
Incidentally, the (act that all the
Ohio Republican congressmen hot
one. Simeon D. Feat, voted against
the President an that issue was the
chief reason for the debacle at the
Republican party in Ohio during
that campaign, which resulted ta
Ohio going for Wilson. And had it
not been for Ohio no one would have
cared much bow California went—
Charles Evans Hughes would have
been elected.
AH this is at moment now be
cause the same sort at wave at
fear, though not yet at tidal propor
tions. is running through congress
with respect to the growing convic
tion in Washington that foe United
States is beaded straight for this
war—or at least that foe President
I intends to do everything possible to
help Britain whether or not foe re
sults at that help lead to war.
But history is apt to repeat itself,
in fact almost certain to do so if foe
peace-at-any-pnce advocates an
Capitol Hill talk too much. There
is do doubt that there are enough
Republicans who are eagerly an foe
President's side in this case to make
certain that he can have his way on
any proposal to help Britain.
DISAGREE ON FOREIGN POLKTK
The real difference of opinion in
this country as to the war situation,
according to those who agreed with
Wendell L. Willkie in the last cam
paign and have agreed since, is not
very often debated. It is not a ques
tion of whether one Is pro-British or
anti-Hitler; it is a question of what
is best for this country in the long
run.
On one side are the Willkie and the
Roosevelt followers. On the other
are those who agree with Charles
A Lindbergh, to name just one of
this group's spokesmen.
Willkie and Roosevelt believe that
if Britain goes down in this war H
will be impossible to preserve the
American way of life.
Lindbergh and those agreeing with
him believe that it would be entire
ly possible for the United States to
get along amicably with Hitler, even
if the Nazis are completely trium
phant in Europe and Africa.
ROOSEVELT. WILLK1E DISAGREE
The chief difference between WiU
kie and Roosevelt, believing the
same thing on the big question,
is POLITICAL procedure. WiUkie
believes the administration should
lake the public into its confidence
and stage a real debate aa to the
extent of further aid to Britain—
how far we should go—whether we
should risk an actual declaration of
war. etc.
The position of what might he
called the WiUkie group, always re
membering that many Republicans
in high places do not agree (Jo*
Martin. Republican leader of the
house. Sen Hiram Johnson of Cali
fornia and Sen Arthur H Vendee
berg of Michigan, for example! is
rather interesting. They do net
want to go the whole way towards
war-hut they think it almost impos
sible to say where to draw the line
They insist that the only reason
the Untied Stales is not at war with
Germany today Is that Hitler does
not believe it to Germany's advan
tage to take that step
There ta no doubt in their mmda
that i victorious Germany would
force this country inevitably b> e

They believe the «M system at «
