Isolation Advocated

The Daily Express, independent London daily, says : " Look at America.

" Ever since the peace of Versailles hardly a British statesman of any party has been able to make a speech on the European situation without appealing more or less openly to the United States to come over and help us.

" Being well aware how much she herself has profited by her own policy of retirement and isolation, her reply to the British appeal to 'come into Europe with us,' might well be ' no, come out of it with us,' for the United States has achieved prosperity by the wise policy of America first.

" She has in consequence practically no unemployment -- a state of affairs she would never have attained had she wasted her time as we have done in a hopeless attempt to reform the quarrelsome and unrepentant continent.

" If there ever was a plain example to follow it is here. Let Great Britain turn resolutely to the task ready to her hand -- the development of the British Empire and of her markets in the East and in South America -- exactly as the United

States, wiser in her generation, decided four years ago to base her prosperity on her vast home resources."
