Miss Sumner
Urges Strict
Neutrality
House Member
Speaks Before
G. O. P. League
A plea for strict neutrality and
.emphatic opposition to repeal of the
arms embargo were voiced by Rep
resentative Jessie Sumner of Il
linois in an address before the
League of Republican Women of the
District at the Mayflower Hotel.
The cash-and-carry provision in
the proposed bill for embargo re
peal would be easily evaded and
might again lead the. United States
into lending vast sums of money to
“nations who don’t pay back,” de
clared Representative Sumner.
“Our only way of keeping what
we have is by keeping out of this
war,” Miss Sumner said. “The only
way to keep peace and neutrality is
to maintain an impartial friendly
attitude toward both sides of the
contest."
Expressing pity for our "German
cousins who were led into the first
war by the Kaiser and into the
present war by a “philosophy of des
peration.” Miss Sumner laid much
of the blame to the commencement
of this war upon the peace terms
imposed upon the Germans after
the last war.
Germany’s Troubles Reviewed.
"It is well to remember that Ger
many was a democracy after the
war,” she continued. “But debts
piled up. Inflation become neces
sary.”
Referring to Hitler as “the voice
with courage” and a "star” to whose
coat tails the German people
“hitched their wagon,” Miss Sumner
stated, “we, too, are headed toward
involvency not knowing when it will
come. If we remain neutral, if we
are not above thinking of national
security In terms of the pocketbook
and our own skins, there is a good
chance to recover. Otherwise lack
of neutrality may bring upon us the
very dictatorship we are urged to
help prevent In European battle
fields.”
Warning that America should not
be allowed to become an arsenal for
belligerents, she concluded with the
statement: "In the safety of Amer
ica, we believe, lies the real promise
of future safety for the world."
Exception to Representative Sum
ner’s declaration that retention of
the present neutrality law was the
only sure way of retaining peace for
the United States was taken by
Mrs. Walter Tuckerman, active
member of the league and one of
the most ardent supporters of the
Republican party in Montgomery
County, who arose at the con
clusion of Representative Sumner’s
address and r^juested a few min
utes from the platform.
Declaring she had confidential in
formation from authoritative sources,
Mrs. Tuckerman declared the danger
of war to this country is much closer
than we realize.
Tells About U-boat.
“We all want peace,” she declared.
“The cash-and-carry plan will pre
serve a real neutrality, making the
same offer to all nations. After
all,” she declared, “it is far better to
let people have our goods than to
have to send our men at a future
day.”
She cited the report of the sub
marine seen recently off the shores
of Red Bank, N. J„ which had been
verified personally to her, she added,
by a friend of one of the aviators
who had seen the vessel.
She was told, she said, that two
sailors were on the deck of the sub
marine, lying idly off the coast of
Red Bank, and that those in the
plane far above noticed that the
sailors were not Americans. As soon
as the submarine noticed it was ob
served, she continued, it quickly
submerged.
Republicans will vote for the
cash-and-carry plan, Mrs. Tucker
man declared, because they realize
that the war in Europe threatens
the destruction of civilization.
Enthusiastic applause greeted Mrs.
Tuckerman at the conclusion of her
talk.
A letter from Mrs. Edward E.
Gann from Kansas, conveying her
regret at her inability to attend the
meeting, was read by Mrs. Howard
S. Le Roy, second vice president,
who presided.
Mr. Cooper Rhodes, president of
the Young Republicans, presented
an electric clock to the league as a
gift of appreciation from his or
ganization to the women’s group for
past courtesies.
