We do not need and we should not undertake to stand guard over Europe or the world. We have grave perils at home. We should be on our guard. first. to keep America American and prevent its becoming European or Asiatic. second. to prevent the establishment of a European or Asiatic dictatorship in the United States. which seems the object of the present administration. and. third. to annihilate the collectivism of communism and fascism in domestic and foreign affairs now being promoted by President Roosevelt and Secretary Hull. If American blood must be shed. it were better that it were shed on this continent to effect these purposes. Joint resolution providing for the reassertion of a foreign policy of genuine neutrality for the United States Whereas genuine neutrality. or the rule of Impartial treatment of all belligerents. is the only policy that has kept and can keep a nation out of war when war comes. and Whereas this policy kept a number of nations out of the last Great War and is the policy now being declared by a number of nations of Europe who are determined not to be involved in the next war. and Whereas the United States was not neutral either in purpose or in action during the last Great War. which fact is proved by official documents. and was in consequence disastrously involved in the last war by a series of notes. declarations. and diplomatic interventions. and Whereas the President of the United States and the Secretary of State have plainly and audaciously violated the United States neutrality law in reference to the present conflict in Asia and have committed unneutral acts in the Far East and acts of political intervention in Europe. which acts must inevitably lead the United States into war. and Whereas the President and the Secretary of State. by their actions. are encouraging other countries to believe that the United States will support them in their policies and are thereby subjecting the United States to a charge of bad faith if the United States does not support their policies in the event of war. and Whereas if war does occur in Europe the United States might well be charged. because of its representations and interventions. with having encouraged and promoted war: Therefore be it Resolved. etc..
