As such I am working with a group whose program will not be achieved in our time. Serious misgivings would be mine if 1 believed a federation of the various parts of the British Com- monwealth with the United States of America were likely to occur. As I see it the chief value of the Streit Committee is its dramatization of the fact that isolation is doomed. Joseph Cook said, "The Nineteenth Century made the world a Neighborhood, the Twentieth will make it a Brotherhood." At the moment that ere's no denyifig that it must come. The startling nature of the Streit suggestion jars one out of his lethargy and drives home the truth that it is im- possible for men and nations to live alone. Intelligent folk have recognized the folly of attempted isola- tion-for a long time. -- Dr. George Gallup, originator of the Gallup polls for the testing of public. opinion, says that in the United States educated men and women are overwhelmingly in favour of All-Out Aid to Great Britain even at the risk of American involve- ment in the war." He goes on to say that it is among the ignorant One would be seriously disturbed if this type of thing were confined to Canada. But the fact is that our greatest hero-- Winston Churchill--has to face the same criticism. Franklin D. Roosevelt-is-in-the-midst-of-a-turmoil-beside-which-our grumbling is a tea party.

No prophecies are being made: as to the outcome of the struggle. : Nothing, is heard of fighting in Northern Africa or the Near East. Attention is entirely engrossed in the Russo-German con- flict, the attitude of Japan, and the growth of pro-British feeling in the United States.

A glance at the peysonalities of some isolationist leaders bears out his contention. : Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh is an outstanding aviator--just that and nothing more.

He has precisely the grasp of intérnational relations that a callow college sophomore would likely to:have, Admittedly an outstanding flyer he is no more competent to speak on world problems than to con- duct a symphony orchestra.
