SPAGCHETTI SUPPER FOR SHERIDAN BOYS ‘"The America First committee urges the carrying out of the deâ€" fense measures contained in <the President‘s proclamation. The Amâ€" erica ‘First committee also urges all Americans, in the interest of deâ€" mocracy and the welfare of this nation, to do everything in their power to maintain peace and avoid participation as a belligerant by this country in the European war now raging. We shall redouble our efforts to crystallize public opinâ€" ion ‘in support of the President‘s pledges to keep America out of othâ€" er people‘s wars." _ ‘‘The President quite properly avoided any . direct atattfimenu which would infringe upon the conâ€" stitutional power of Congress to declare war.â€" The main issue facing the American people is still war or peace. On that issue the people of the United States must make their wishes known, in no uncerâ€" tain terms, to the President and the congress of the United States. "It is important to remember that the declaration of emergency adds little, if at all, to the Presiâ€" dent‘s powers, and to whatever exâ€" tent it does, it relates solely to home affairs. ‘The President has no power whatever to declare war or to carry on armed hostilities without the consent of congress. ‘"In contrast with his most recent statements the emphasis of his speech last night was on Amerâ€" ican defense, rather than saving the world. To the extent the Presiâ€" dent adheres to the actual defense of America, he will have a united nation behind him. . "Last night‘s fireside chat was one of the longest ever made by the President. It was not as clear as it was long. This, undoubtedly, because it was an impossible atâ€" tempt to satisfy the war party, Winston Churchill, and the nonâ€"inâ€" terventionists. But it is the first time since election that the Presâ€" ident has recognized so clearly the tremendous opposition of the Amerâ€" ican people to our involvement in foreign wars. ‘"‘The President‘s speech â€" last night was the least warlike of any of his utterances since election. It bears unmistakable evidence that he has begun to listen to the Amâ€" erican people.
