Why she should pay for land which contains no oil, meanwhile refusing to pay for land that does, ia a perplexing bit of reasoning. The most likely answer ia that farm land is cheaper than oil land, and that Mexico hopes her larger sin will be forgiven if she atones for the smaller sin. d 1 I fal Ml Agriculture The U.

That nation was not immediately hostile but a strong protest came from Argentina, which now supplies an of Brazils wheat Although Brazilians could use cheap wheat to make cheap bread, Argentina is a good customer of the U.

Illinois, which remains predominantly New Deal increased its Republican house representation and returned a much larger conservative vote than in Ru-pni- es southern senators and congressmen, not up for this year, are also unsympathetic. Though in many cases the Republican trend is not so great as first appearances might indicate, practically all northern states have shown a surge back to conservatism. This was especially marked in Minnesota and Wisconsin, where Farmer-Laband Progressive partisans were ousted after long incumbencies. Michigan swung away from Democratic Gov. Frank Murphy largely because he sympathized with the radically tinged Committee for Industrial Organization. In an northwestern states the swing to Republicanism was due partly to agricultural dissatisfaction. New England's industrial rebelled population against allegedly oppressive taxation and the C. L O., while this territory's traditional conservatism also played an important rota. Substantially the same explanation can be made for votes in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The only Important New Deal gains have come in California, d where a Republican ' governor waa ousted: in North Dakota. whose notoriously unsettled political situation has freakishly placed a Democrat in the governors chair, and in Maryland. But such a resume does not tell the entire story, for even those states which remained Democratic have shown an amazingly strong Republican upsurge. New Yorks Gov. Herbert H.

Thus every lengthy Republican administration has, been succeeded by a shorter Democratic one, attesting to the American people's Inherent conserve itiam. Since the Republican party reached its latest low ebb under Candidate Alfred Landon in 1836, none but the most optimistic expected anything but a minor gain so as 1838. But it has proved early otherwise, thanks to (1) a growing belief that the Roosevelt administrations expensive recovery efforts have been unsuccessful and (2) a fear that New Deal policies were encouraging the growth of radicalism. Moreover, it has been apparent that the public must eventually protest against the political corruption which unavoidably gathers around ao large a financial project as WPA. Though the Roosevelt administration may be blameless in this respect, such political machines as that of Pennsylvania's Gov. George H. Earle have unsavory reputations. Another consideration, one that received less attention than eventually proved Justified, was dissatisfaction among Americas numerically important farmers. Since the agricultural vote can control cohgress, it looked bad for the administration when this year's highly touted farm program failed. Despite Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace's sincere efforts, New Deal farm legislation has left producers in northern states without permanent relief. (See AgricultureJ Almost without exception the November general election has therefore made the U. S. return to its most normal political alignment in approximately 15 years.

It does not come from wishful thinking, said Frank S. Coan, of New York, secretary of the English Speaking Union of America. If the people do not immediately set about establishing Peace they will have no more security than have the Jews in Europe.! Take it from us that signs and evidences are multiplying that what is happening in Germany. China and Snain can ihapnen here, AND IT WILL HAPPEN HERE VERY SHQRTLY unless something is done. There are many varieties of Peace; among them are Industrial Peace, Racial Peace, Domestic Peace, National and World Peace. To obtain these objectives should be the aim and purpose of every citizen. In writing about Peace our aim shall be constructive. We know that there should be a process of building up and not a process of tearing down. But nevertheless there are certain evil influences which must be driven from the Temple of, Liberty before much constructive work can be done. Chief among these evils are the Dictators of the world; and next are the munition makers. These must be scourged out of the worlds life of civilization if Christianity and even humanity itself are to survive. No quarter must be given to these. There is now no question but what the last world war was caused by the munition makers. In order to make profits and fear mounting-f- e billions they sowed the seeds in every country and sold one against the other with their instruments of death. The great Krupp Works, organized and controlled by despicable people and leagued with bankers, diplomats and outlaws, found a way to involve the nations of Europe and eventually America, in order to make profit, caring not at all for the millions of lives lost And the same forces are again engaged to atir up another world war, and will do it unless humanity organizes against them. We can prove that the munition makers were the wreckers of the League of Nations. We plead with the society men and women and the people of wealth to take time out from their dubs, their teas, their parties and balls, and devote it to the cause of Peace, and to take some of the money they are wasting and devote it to one of the greatest causes known to man today the cause of Peace, in which is induded all else that makes for human welfare. What will all human efforts for good amount to if the ravages of the war lords are permitted to extend over the earth as they are now threatening? The cause of Peace needs new Joan of Area, new Thomas Paines and new Patrick Henry s. Come forward you who can and do what you can.

They were bound in bundles of four and six and used as targets by the invaders until every last one of them was killed. And when the city fell, three-fourtor more of all females between six and 60 were brutally raped! Shall men and women, made in the image of God and believing in Christianity, look upon such barbarity without protesting and doing what can be done to keep such dastardly fiends from this countrys shores? And here is an incident from racial warfare, given out by Edwin C Hill and attested by a score of correspondents.

I believe in the Townsend Plan as I believe in the plan and program of natures God that mankind is included in the provisions he in his wisdom has made for the contentment of the animal kingdom food in the sea for the fish of the sea, sheltering forests for the wild life of the earth and air, feed in the grass and seeds that head in weeds and grain that grow from the earth. I believe in the Townsend Plan as I believe in the Ten Commandments, the Sermon on the Mount, the Lords Prayer, the Declaration of Independence, the declaration of Lincoln that no nation can exist half slave and half free. I believe in the Townsend Flan for in it I see proper food, clothing, and shelter for the aged, who as soldiers of the common good have served their country, state and community. I see in it a plan that will find hours of work, rest and recreation for the employables, and proper education for the youth of my country and the world. I believe in the Townsend Plan, for in it I see a more active staple business, industrial, financial, labor and cultural world where the shameful Mister, can you spare a dime" slogan will be stilled by the truly slogan of Brother, do you want a job? I believe in the Townsend Flan because I believe it to be a fulfilment of Gods promise to mankind. Dr. Townsend is the spokesman of that plan as Paul was as every true preacher is the spokesman for the unfinished work of the Man of Galilee. The Townsend Plan will have many spokesmen in and oiit of the halls of the American congress and the parliaments of the nations of the world; but the blue print of the plan is in the hand of God and our duty as members of a Townsend Club is to spin carefully, spin cheerfully but leave the thread with God. I am sure that Dr. Townsend would have it so. I believe in the Townsend Flan. I believe it to be feasable and workable. It will meet with much opposition as in the days at Paul the plan and program of the Man of Galilee met the opposition of big business at the hands of Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrine for the goddess Diana at no small gain unto the craftsmen. (Acts of the Apostles, chapter 19, verse 24.) I believe in the Townsend Plan I believe it will prove to be the road map that will lead the churches back to the highway where they left the Christianity of Christ for the religious creeds of men ; where they left the Old Rugged Cross for one of gold and platinum, studded with diamonds; where they lost That which is of God and took up that which is of Caesar; where they left the Golden Rule to pick up the gold standard as the only true measure of value. I believe in the Townsend Plan because I am an American; because I believe it to be in perfect accord with the Declaration of Independence the cradle song of my country that declares that all men are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and tiie pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. By the President, Salt Lake Townsend Club No. 1.
