Nevada State Journal (Newspaper) - March 5, 1938, Reno, Nevada k t i On The Record STARTING MONDAY A New Comic Strip JOE PALOOKA By DOROTHY THOMPSON My last week of British Foreign policy have called dov r upon me a of at- tjck including accusations that 11 am anti-British This is an pdd position to find myself in after months in which I have been at- tacked by extreme group for wanting American collaboration with the democratic and even been i of wanting to risk taking country into var to pull chestnuts out of the fire H is obviously necessary for to my position a little plain not because my opinion is of the least but because it is tainly representative of thai of public opinion in the passage of HULL MAY CUT It's Not As Floods Hit Los Angeles Many Los Angeles Districts by Rainstorm They Serve Flood Area act on the ground Hams and U P Only Communication thot it one of tne Tibbetts of Berkeley Cal and owned by Cecil F Pontius Pilate acts in to quote who believe that in the long run ble and that a major war will be i catastrophe for this country whether we go in or stay out who bf lieve that there is no way of getting a free ride to peace and that the United States as a great powerful nation has tl her opportunity and her actively to for the maintenance of law in the tf It is possible that our British don't care what this gro ip unless it to think along the lines of the momentary policy But certainly we isolated from a very large of British opinion If the poll last week of the British Institute lor Public Opinion is at all worthy the man in the street over there still believes much more in the Eden policy than in that of Chamberlain Mr Eden said after his nation on February It is with the great democracies of Europe and America that our tional he We must stand by our conception of inter- national r without which can be no lasting peace Nor must we for a moment our faith in parliamentary government and individual rty These are the things that count In the sphere of tional affairs it is necessary for I us to be vigilant and firm It is I perfectly possible to stand firm and obtain the same results without the risks attendant on the present the coarse I stand for every I said in the Commons I defi formed the opinion last week that the meaning of certain from a foreign government was now or never and that those cations were open to no other interpretation than the one I placed on them That Britain was negotiating under Lord Astor who I take it is a spokesman for the group who be- that Britain can come tn terms with the dictatorships said m New York on February Is it a worthwhile issue that the Germanic people of Austria should join the Germanic of If Lord Astor will pardon me I do not think that at this ment that is the issue at all If it were there would be no op- position in this column The issue is under what conditions the manic people of Austria join the Germanic people of Germany If they are forced to join Germany because of a threat and because of the repudiation of pledges then the same threat can be plied to all the Germanic peoples living anywhere in Europe and if it can be applied to the manic peoples why cannot it be applied by any one else? Why cannot Russia use the same ar- rument that all the Slavic ples should join the Great Mother of all Slavs and be rescued from German domination and from And why should not Russia use the same technique that Hitler is stirring up and revolutionizing the boring countries with a view to absorbing them? Why when Germany was still weak and when the of both Germany and Austria wanted to negotiate a easterns union waj that re- quest Why was tho In- dependence of Austria supported by the British just as long as it cost nothing to support And what possible deduction can one draw now except that the 1 cratic countries are not because they concede a principle h but because they are And what will the eventual result of yielding under of threat be for any semblance of law and order in the The union of Austria and many offends the consciences of people not because two Germanic peoples may unite but because they may unite under duress and under a banner pledged to the brutal persecution of a Jews who number two million in the bian basin because they k with join a closed economy for war or for the tation of further peace by the threat of war because they join k a despotism committed to the same program of a monopoly of trade in an area which Japan has for China and has already made effective in Manchukuo because they ally themselves with a policy which has openly announced its intention of inter- fering in the internal affairs of k other countries SAN FRANCISCO March 3 UP Southern in the
