As I cast back over the last 2 decades and realize the awful sacrifices this country has made in blood and treasure to try to help the rest of the world. and as I ponder a Europe today nearer to the verge of war than it was in 1914. and as I ponder those lost billions and those lost boys I question whether or not the moral force of the great American people is sufficient to shed the light into the dark places from whence sprung those motives that today threaten the civilization of the world. I am not ready. Mr. Chairman. to sacrifice the opportunities. the independence. and the welfare of the farmers and workers of this country any further in the vain hope that I may benefit some Chinese coolie in the Yangtse Valley or some ragged untouchable in India. Charity. Mr.
