‘SEEM BEATEN

Downie “Trend Reflects] Deep Desire to Se! Out. of Conflict.

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP - Director, American Institute of Publis’ ‘Opinio on,

PRINCETON, N. J, Feb. 21. If - Germany appears to be defeating England and France, should ‘ the * United States enter the war? - With surveys showing that public . sympathy is overwhelmingly on the side of the Allies, this question grows in importance every month the war drags on. Three times since hostilities began, the American Institute of Public Opinion has measured sentiment -on ‘the issue. The trend shows a sharp decline in the number of voters which believe the United States ‘should take up arms against Germany if the Allies are losing. . Whereas more than two-fifths of voters advocated this action the = first week of the war, only about > one-fifth favor it today. The trend is as follows in the Institute’s three separate surveys. “If it appears that Germany is defeating England and France, should the United States declare war on Germany and send our "Army and Navy to Europe - to £ fight?” ;

Yes No Last September .....44% 56% ~ Last October ........29 71 Today ........... a wn

The decline is not due fo any decrease in American sympathy for the Allied cause, for Institute surveys find the majority want the Allies to win and want to give them every aid short of armed intervendion. ‘The decine is, rather, another indication of the deep-seated desire of the people to avoid shedding American flood in Europe’s battles. The majority apparently consider at the present time tHat keeping out of war is even more important

, than giving unrestricted aid to the

Allies. Majority ‘Want Isolation

There is, however, a tiny group of voters who have always been in favor of taking up arms against Germany regardless of circumstances. Institute researches show that the group numbers approximately 3 per cent. Ther amount -of war sentiment in the country ranges, therefore, from about 3 per cent—the number who want to fight Germany Jiow—to 23

. per cent—the number who would

fight Germany only if the Allies

appear to bes losing. The rest, an are for = - gtaying out no matter what hap-

The future trend of sentiment| “will depend .directly on events: in

= Burope. Some Fear Nazis

Yor the present, however, the "general sentiment of the majority ~ as expressed in the survey is that _ jt isn’t our: fight,” “as long as . Germany doesn’t bother us, there’s - no reason to bother her,” “it would . ruin us financially for years to E comer” and “at least one nation = should be left to pick up the pieces.” : The ones who, on the other © hand, think we should go in if the = Allies were fighting with their backs - to the wall declare that “if we didn’t _help England and France we would _ be next,” that “we should do all ~ we can to save democracy,” and - that “the Germans must not be allowed to win.”
