bitterly denounced Russia at an

country ally herself with Eng-
land, or even with Germany
with all her faults, than with
the cruelty, the godlessness, and
“ithe barbarism that exist in
soviet Russia.”
“An alliance between ‘the
United States and Russia should

Ex-Enemies Now Allies
“The murderers ard plunder-
ets of yesterday are accepted as
the valiant defenders of civili-
zation today; and the valiant
defenders of yesterday have be-
come the wicked aggressors of
today. Finland and France are
now our enemies; Russia our
friend. We have been asked to
defend the English way of life,
and the Chinese way of life. We
are now asked to defend the
| Russian way of life.
“Judging from Europe's rec-
ord, if we enter this war, we
ean’t be sure whether we will
have Russia or Germany for a
partner by the time we finish it.
We don’t even know whether
we will end up with France or
England on our side. It is quite
possible that we would find
ourselves alone fighting the en-
fire world before i was over.-
. “The only sensible thing for
us to do is to build an imprég-
nable defense for America and
keep this hemisphere at peace.”
