America and the World
A Record
subscriber expressed our sentiments the other day when he said he wanted our
troops to come home and let ‘em run things in Europe without us. That’s the way
most of us feel about it. But the stability of Europe is important to us in
many ways. For one thing, another big war would hit us again. For another
thing, our industry is in part dependent on a world that is behaving itself. We
are no longer living alone. We cannot think in terms of the United States any
more. Fate has decreed that we must think in larger terms. We are nearer Europe
today than the states were each other 75 years ago. American influence will
have to be exerted throughout the world in the interest of peace, and we must
be reconciled to that fact. It is destiny.
