jn’recent American history. The Re-j
publican party nominated for presi-1
dent a man who had never heldl
public office and w'ho had been a'
Democrat up to three years ago.
They picked Mr. Willkie in re-
spon.se to an overwhelming popular
demand tor the strongest possible
man they could choose to head their
party. Mr. Roosevelt-decided that
a situation had arisen which called
for all of” the expefiehce he had j
gained in the presidency and sought j
and gained a renomination. Andj
congress instead of adjourning, not;
only remained in session but en
acted a portentous and far-reaching
laws than had ever before been put
on the statute books and appropriat
ed more money than any single ses
sion had ever before appropriated.
• All of that in four months, prac
tically out of a clear sky.
One man alone was responsible.
His name is Adolf Hitler.
Unanimous Belief i
Up to the middle of May thej
American people—and the American
congress—had held an almost unani
mous belief that the war in Europe
was none of our business. It couldn’t
possib(y touch us. France, with its
impregnable Maginot Line, and the
finest »army in the world; Britain
with the ' world's most invincible
na\y- they would hold Hitler if he
trided to advance toward the Atlan
tic. And even if he did gain the
Atlantic coa.'t. the ocean stood be
tween u.< .and anything he could do.
