Fifths Slaves, One-Fifth [ze Free, Committee Says.

The ‘outcome of the resent war in Europe may determine for many bh \ years the fate of human freedom, freedom of thought, of religion, of f individual initiative, the Indiana Committee for National Defense asserted today in a statement of policy adopted unanimously by the executive committee. “Replying to “the appeasers who

the aggressors in control of their conquests,” the statement said that this world cannot live - four-fifths slaves -and one-fifth free. “Our committee repeats,” the] statement continued, “that for| these and other obvious reasons the United States cannot afford to| have the totalitarian states win} this war and that our foreign pol- | icy must, therefore, be arranged | accordingly. Currently our committee urges that: “1, American defense and aid to

the Allies, which are parts of the same problem, can only ‘be ac- » complished by very greatly in- % creased American arms-production. The battle for civilization and democracy may be won or lost on the American assembly line. ‘Mobilize All Authority’ “To this end we will support the President in the use of his full legal powers under a state of national emergency, if necessary, to|Y mobilize at once all the industrial resources: of the nation for maximum production, Whatever executive “authority of the President must’ be used; whatever additional authority. from’ Congress must be secured—a:l of these should be mobilized for tremendous industrial production for supplying ourselves and the Allies. “2, The life line between Great Britain and ‘the United States: is the sea route to the Western Hemisphere. . Under no circumstances must this line be cut and the United States should be prepared to maintain it. The United States should supply. Great Britain with all possible merchant vessels to fly the British flag. “The United States should produce boats as rapidly as in the World War days, for lease or rent to the British. A shipping\ pool should be developed so that American ships could operate in the Indian and Pacific Oceans and thus. ; release Britain’s shipping for servé {ce in the Atlantic. . Favor Revision of Policy “3. The time has come when |: Congress should assume a larger share of responsibility, with the President, for the policy of aid to the ‘Allies. Consequently, we favor through congressional action, a revision of our international policy. “This: would include a repeal or modification of restrictive statutes

co-operate ‘with nations defending themselves from attack by nations at war in violation of treaties with the United States. “We ask immediately the repeal of laws reJarding recruiting and enlistments as ‘far as Canada is concerned in‘ the interests’ of the mutual defense pact with Canada. “The Axis alliance has united the wars in the Atlantic and Pacific into a world war. For the first time in the history of the United States, we are, as a nation, confronted with a hostile world alliance. Asks Firm Pacific Policy “The committee recommends a firm policy in the Pacific: “1. We should give all material aid and financial help to China that is possible without lessening our aid to Great Britain, “2. The United States should extend- its embargoes upon exportation of all war materials to Japan. “3. The United States and Great Britain should announce that their naval bases in the Pacific are open to each other’s fleets. “4. The United States should establish a clear naval understanding with Great Britain which will permit the two fleets to be placed in the most advantageous position to protect the Atlantic for the democraciés and to stop the spread of war in the Pacific. The world’s future is secure if the British and American fleets control the seas. Indianapolis members of the Committee's - executive committee are Mrs. Demarchus Brown, Louis J. Borinstein, D.
