FIRST IN WAR
Today the Amencan nation
along with many othets obseives
the two hundied and eleventh
bitthdav anntvcisary of the Father
of Our Countij Despite the fact
that the nations of the world arc
engaged in the prosecution of an
other armed conflict there will
doubtless be millions of libcit
loving human beings who will tike
time out during the day to think
of those things which the tall and
dignified Virginian stood for and
will be inspired to cheerfully face
the humdrum existence of office
work the exacting duties of de-
fense plants the rigor of training
camp duties the dangers of the ac-
tual battle field and air lanes or
whatever else they might be called
upon to do Certainly they will
consider the fact that in its true
essence the great American was
fighting for those self-same ideals
for which Lincoln gave his life
and for which the war of 1914-
1918 was fought the realization
of the dreams of a workable demo-
cratic state and the cordial rela-
tions between peoples of widely
varving interests
Many thoughtful people doubt
less will wonder just what Wash-
ington would think of the state of
the world and of the American
nation in particulai at this stage
of world historj
To one who wishes to seek to
understand the views of the first
president it may be said that the
index to much of this may be found
in Washington s 'Farewell Ad
dress " I quote from this notable
document as follows "Against the
insidious wiles of foreign influence
(I conjure you to believe ine fellow
citizens) the jealous of a free
people ought to be constantly
awake since history and experi-
ence show that foreign influence
is one of the most baneful foes of
Republican Government But that
jealous to be useful must be im-
partial else it becomes the instru-
ment of the very influence to be
avoided instead of a defense
against it Excessive partiality for

FIRST IN
our nation should always be on
the alert for its own interests
though striving to maintain a cor
dial attitude toward the rest of
the world The next paragraph
is one on which many die hard
isolationists base their claim that
we should have as little as pos-
sible to do with foreign nations
as we can possibly get by with
But the most thorough present day
believer in the actual necessity of
the full participation of the Ameri-
can nation in world affairs can
find nothing in this statement to
