Battles and neutrality in a widening European crisis
The piece debates Nazi wartime aims in Poland and the West, U S neutrality policy under Roosevelt, and the potential for a congressional session to amend the neutrality act. It cites war debt totals with France and Britain, and argues for or against arms sales while noting Britain and France are already at war with Germany. It also presents a sermon on children as indicators of a nation’s character and ends with a satirical note on a Rhodesia postcard and football funding.
