: _ Gallup Poll Reveals’ Only 59% Say. U.’S. Will Become

Belligerent; This Is Drop of 8% in Two Months, but * Opinion Sways With British Fortunes.

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP : a Director, American Institute of Public Opinion

PRINCETON, N. J., Dec. 2.—The American public's States may be drawn into the

apprehension that the United war in Europe has declined

noticeably simee: the peak of

Adolf Hitler’s air attack on England last September. Since the war began, the Institute’s studies of public opinion in all parts of the United States show that, whereas the great majority have been opposed to America entering

the European conflict, nevertheless majorities have often felt that U. S. entrance was likely or inevitable. . Today the Institute’s most recent study of the public attitude on this Issue shows that 50 per cent of thos with opinions on the question think the United States will “gointo the war sometime before it’s over,” while 41 per cent think this country will stay out. ."Barely two months ago - 67

America would go in eventually Dr. Gallup —or eight points more than think so today. . ‘One possible factor in this shift of thinking is the relative success the British have had in staving off an invasion of Britain. As recent In-

keep a continuous check on the way events, expert opinion and other influences affect John Citizen himself. “Do you thifk” the Institute asked, “the United States will go into the war in Europe sometime before ‘it is over, or do you think we will stay out of the war?” The replies of those with opinions were: Think U. S. will go in ......59% Think U. S. will stay oui... 19 The Institute found many voters who wished to attach qualifications to their beliefs. : . About a quarter of those who thought the United States would enter the war added “—if the war lasts long enough” or “—if England can’t win witheut us.” As might be expected,. opinion on the question has been volatile throughout the war. In the past, British setbacks and defeats have caused a rise in the feeling America will enter the war. British successes in staving off the Germans and Italians, on the other hand, have brought increased confidence Amperica can stay out.

the number who think Britain win the war.

Campaign Pledges Factors

Campaign pledges by both President Roosevelt and Wendell Willkie that this country would not go to war unless attacked are also probable factors. The experts have different theories as to America’s chances of staying out of the war, of course. The purpose of the Institute’s studies is to

Special interest has attached to the views of Ger-man-Americans and Italo-Ameri-cans. In today’s studies a special analysis shows that first and second generation German-Americans look at the situation much as the whole public does—55 per cent of them said they expected the United States would enter the war, often adding the qualification, “if it is a long war.” Italo-Americans in the survey were 56 per cent of the opinion the United States would stay out, on the other hand. In a study reported earlier this eek the Institute reported that 63 voters in every hundred thought England would ‘win, while only 7 thought Germany and Italy would win, and the remaining 30 were undecided. : ;
