LCN1) A SMALL TEMPEST WAS STIRRED UP By Last Week's Leading Editorial It was surprising how forceful were the reaetions to last week's editorial on the pro-Faci- st movement in the U. S Some were for, some against. Some wanted to sue that was poured in by some for "our friend Mr. Pelley "and against International Jewry, was quite volumin-ous. The praise given was too good to tell the public. We only quoted what we believed to be their own words and sentiments which any one may read if they will call in. We omitted one name, G. K. Smith, chairman of the committee of one million to break down the U. S. war effort. We are beginning to be-lieve that Judas was a Saviour and not a base betrayer. But if their information is correct and their plan a saving one then let them go ahead. Vt e know positivelv that it will divide the people and help to destroy their war effort. If wc had money we would give liberally to anyone who could prove that any of the statements made on this subject by The Christian Science Monitor was false or incorrect. MORE TRUTH ABOUT IT There are 95 pro-Na- zi and se publications all of which are right now under examination by F. B. I. Every one is in the present struggle. They advocate victory for Japan and even excuse her wholesale atrocities of rape and murder by saying that she is but following our Monroe Doctrine. They want Germany to destroy both' Russia and England. They mean exterm-ination of the Jews. One urges Amerjcan workers to help Hitler win, even to the subduing of America. One says, "'I am for cracking down, for chaotic conditions and violent Civil war." Only one Communist paper is with them and openly for the destruction of the U. S, all. the other Communist papers are out for.victory over the Axis. Thus we have the worst kind of guerilla warfare behind the lines at home, whicl is sureto strike downour.war effprta.nd destroy the America that has been a nursing mother to her children.

(Taken from a lecture delivered by him before the Wy-oming Reclamation Convention ) In a democracy we are all members of a great social group. Our interests may vary but our obligations are mutual. Solicitude for our welfare finds expression through our divinely inspired government. T ie wisdom of our government is the sumation of the wisdom of those men and women who function in the various departments of government. This wisdom and solicitude find expression in various government policies that safeguard the mental physical and moral well-bein- g of our citizens. Outstand-ing examples of this may be found in various departments that deal with the welfare of the people. For example the Reclamation Department. Few of us can realize, much less a ppreciate the wonderful contiib-utio- n the Reclamation Department has made to the well beingand happiness of thousands. In the main these people, --the beneficiaries, are a part of our best cilizenship and our government has been most generous in making their-hom- e life a place of joy and contentment. He who owns a parcel of land from which he can derive a decent livelihood cosistenlly feelsthat heis a stockholder in the goveinmnrt itself. He is a eond citizen Thank Sponsor of Double-Pa- y Measure j ' 7 5- - yy jf.-vV- - X W - Sen. Ed C.

Editor Progressive Opinion - CREDIT TAXATION , A topic of interest in beriods of war or depression is the topic Oj public money. Public money certificates can be issued on available com. modity reserves and also made redeemable in later years from the return, of a tax On the appreciation in credit and profit value within monetary or financial organizations exercising the right of public credtt creation that accompanies the increase in the national debt. A profit income tax of ninety per cent may be passed by Congress with reference to war production industries or industial production in general and a similar lax on the appreciation in credit or debt claim values within the fractional reserve ystem and other business organizations should be favorably considered by the national Congress.

How much better it would be to seek the riches of the spirit and gain a wealth and happiness that neither Japs nor any-one else can take away. The richest people are thofe who have made the right kind of investments within themsel"es, who have found "the diamond fields of the soul." While the poorest is often he who has p"t his whole faith in material things. It is the trea-uire- j that we lay up in the spirit that make all other treasures worth while. And what a wonderful truth it is that one cannot enrich his own spiritual life with-out enriching the whol ? of the society in which he lives. SET THEM FREE Oh, Lord of Love who walked in Galilee, Come down again and set the children free! Not us, the streng, for we can bear it all, But oh the children! Lit- - tie ones that call, From the clutch of beasts who starvendrape and kill And all the homes of earth with terror fill. ; Come, Lord and save them, call them unto thee As once you did in far-of- f Galilee! We raise our hearts and hands and eyes to thee The world is lost unless you set them free! C. N. LUND. The Power of Money Is More despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autociacy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces as public enemies all who question its methods or throw Ii ht up-on its crimes. William J. Bryan. |
