HOW THEY STOOD In the winter of 1931-3- 2 when the nations millions of unemployed were walking the streets cold and hungry and their families starving, old Silas Strewn, head of the national Chamber of Commerce called for a vote from all the members thru-othe land on the question, "Shall the U. 8. Government help the nstions desperate unemployed?" The result was a 13 to 1 vote against it. And the vote would have been far morn negative had it been on the matter of assisting the aged And yet they consents i to and took part in a world program 2,500,000 sheep, 6,000,000 dairy cattle, of food destruction of 000 coffee, ship loads of oranges and fish and 126.000 bags trainlnads of other things throughout the world. Have they changed? ut that it is unnecessary for Senator Abe Murdock to his constituents how to vote. The electors told him last November. He was elected to support the administration. We feel There are 20 republics in Latin America where the overwhelming majority of the people live in a slavery just as inhuman and unnecessary as that which Lincoln put down in the U. 8. There ie the most amasing inequality in the distribution of wealth, a few owning everything and actually 90 per cent of the people, mostly tillers of the anil have no land, no education, no sanitation, and little or no participation in their respective governments. Thie ie an appalling oondition, worse than Rusria'e, and when any one raises a voice for better conditions he ia called a communist. Well, we are for better conditions, both there and at home. And we lift our voice to tell all who will listen that the war now raging ie the mighty avenging weapon against those who own and control the wealth of the world and use it to the impoverishment and degradation of their fellows. Juat aa surely as God lives the present awful cataclysm will sweep clean off the earth the system that permits 90 per cent to go propertyleea, uneducated, unclean and degraded. Great American and English capitalists own many of the resources and with their invested millions they suck the very life blood of the people. 81avery peonage ie the rule. Of course there are millions of dollars behind Sen. Wheeler. But that isn't the wont. It ie said that he ie the man selected by the 8ilver Shirts, the Bund and other organisations to take the national leadenliip when they, as they have planned, strike down and destroy the present elected leadership. It ie surprising to what lengths hatred and a desire for revenge will gp. Hitier'e hate ia well matched in . mercies , , 'resident Roosevelt soon will send a special message to Congress asking a flat Federal contribution of 330 a month to retired persons over 60 yean old regardless of other income and state pensions, Democratic leaden revealed. The message, proposing to scrap the present system whereby the Federal Government matches State old age pension contributions up to 20 a month for penone over 65, is to be sent Congress as quickly as possible following the enactment of the bill and appropriations to carry it out.

So any good we can do them should be done before it This time the rulers is too late. The present wr is different and the rich will not be secure at home to live in luxery and revel in wealth while the boys go out to suffer and die. Those behind the lines am doomed to suffer aa much as the soldiers and sailors.

Our struggle for economic securiti for the aged ia just a part of a great social movem,,nt which began in America when Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves and, in thii manner, and, in fact, in all of hie teachings, placed human rights above prop erty rights, humanity above dollars and cents, saying that 'God muat have loved the common people because he made o many of them" and then counseled with ue to con'inue with ue to continue the struggle and dedicate ourselves to the . great unfinished task remaining before us that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
