But the word “police” in its true dictionary meaning. would .signify something else. The notice force of this country does not rule it It is subject to a greater power; in cur i a e, the artm and the navy. In any conflict between the two, the federal authority would be overwhelming, as has been constantly shown in cases oi martial law. I do not profess to be an exceptional authority but, while listening to all) th.*- discussions that are going * n. 11 have come increasingly to the eon-1 diction th it the way for the world to live is to model its post-war plans upon the methods which each of us, as individuals, adopt to live in peace among our neighbors — net to surrender our integrity, not throwing away all our money, not carrying brotherly love to an extent internationally which we would consider ridiculous individually, So also with the police idea. If we, as m nation, are to maintain our i ationai integrity, our democratic id* ais, our treasury, we must also in this policing matter maintain a de tensive army ami navy sufficient t* guarantee cur safety, despite any world police force. Each nation would do this also. WE WOULD NOT THINK in our neighborhood of letting the Russians or Germans come into our local police force. We would consider that more likely to cause trouble than to maintain peace. In the ‘'good neighbor" policy which Mr. Roosevelt has established in this hemisphere, he has also set a different example for policing this hemisphere than Mr. Welles seems to be advocating for the post-war world.
