WHERE AMERICA STANDS
OPINION AT 1917 PITCH. Writing from Washington of “America’s Purpose,” Mr Erwin D. Canham says certain views on international relations are already well clarified. They are substantially as follows':—First—the great majority of the American people, and of Congress, wish to remain in isolation, free from foreign “entanglements.” Second—at the same time, the same people admit fatalistically that if a world war breaks out America will probably be involved, rather sooner than later, and certainly to the extent of furnishing supplies in the most active way. Third —there is no doubt to which side the supplies and the active assistance would go. Opinion in the United States, even in the most isolationist sectors, is emotionally unneutral. It is not at the 1914 pitch, but certainly at the 1917.
