ISOLATIONISTS' | ONLY HOPE LIES

IN QUICK SHIFTEE

They Let President Choose Embargo vs. Cash-Carry As Battleground.

By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON. Oct. - 9.—Unless the isolationists quickly can shift the neutrality battle-to their own

ground the President probably will ‘win. He has been ‘gaining becausé he chose the battleground on the issue of arms embargo. versus cash-and-carry. Now, belatedly, the isolationists are trying to make it an issue of embargo plus cash-and-carry. Strangely, the ‘isolationists had that strong position in the beginning. Embargo plus 'cash-and-carry was the law until the Administrati on let the latter expire last May. Realizing. that cash-and -carry was a. popular catchword, the Administration after having - dumped it in the garbage can suddenly snatched it out again and used it to club the embargo crowd, Now the President and his. aides by sheer repetition have convinced many people that the way to get the popular cash-and-carry on general goods is to repeal the embargo on arms. : Must Prove Sincerity

Not until last week did the isolationists as a group make clear-that they favor the :Administration’s cash-and-carry bill (without' the 90day credit loophole), and that they oppose only repeakof the arms embargo. Their problém from here out is to catch up with the contrary publicity which their silence has encouraged during recent weeks. And to succeed they must persuade the public that their “new” position is not trickery but sincere. From the outside it appears that the isolationists, in thus permitting the President to use: their own weapon egainst them, have broken

their strategy so far has been as ineffective as the President’s has been brilliant. But the reason has not. been stupidity so much as division. Senator

William E. Borah (R. Ida.) and a}: of the isolationist].

small faction group sincerely insisted on confining the fight to the embargo issue. The others were unable to change this strategy until the Borah tactics bogged down.

Issue Becomes Clear

Although the isolationists’ change in strategy: may not win for them, it at least will make an actual rather than a “phony war”—to use the Borah description of the Western Front. Having accepted cash-and-carry on everything but arms, munitions and implements of war, the isolationists now will sharpen their point that the Administration purpose in embargo repeal is not neutrality but help for the Allies. Only a few Administration speakers—such as the always frank Senator George W. Norris (Ind. Neb.)—have been willing to admit that they want to help the Allies. This is both the strength and weakness of the Administration's position in Congress and before the country. The President, as head of . a government officially neutral, cannot be as frank as Senator Norris, who is as “independent” in status as in spirit. But behind the neutrality professions on both sides-is the one basic disagreement as to whether helping the Allies is worth the risk.
