So he could be expected to live up to the injunction against the introduction of politics at Pittsburgh. However, Henry Modell, a well known New York Smaller Business chant and executive of the strictly Association, was quoted as saying; "They tried to take us in, but we declined to be taken. It is political and strictly anti- New Deal. It is subsidized by Big Business and its policies are those of Big Business.

It was permitted with the knowledge of Great Britain and France to gain his first gun in the plan of rearming. Britain and France so far as their rulers are concerned are democracies in name only. They were forced to choose between the Russian government to the extent that it is a peoples gov- and Hitlers Fascist capitalist dictatorship, and they rechose the symbol of slavery and oppression, the Nazi slave driver with the limburger cheese expression moustache. Hitler rearmed contrary to the provisions of the treaty and with the secret approval of Britain. This was permitted with understanding that Hitler would use'his armaments to stop Russia should it threaten the capitalists of Europe. This was part of the corrupt deal of the armament murder-- 1 ers that opened the way for business for the great Krupp plant in arming Fascist forces in Spain and other places. Chamberlain and his allies are not doing what Hitler forced them to do. They are doing what they wanted to do. Hitler, rearmed instead of continuing to get like a vassal, however, wants to deal on even terms with the other plunder ers. So instead of threatening Russia, he demands more loot as represented by the Sudeten territory.

Doubtless some of the reasons the New York Post, after a careful scrutiny, concluded that this outfit is considering the launching of a "Little Liberty League," were contained in the formal announcement, which said: Small business men will pit their will against the ineffectual formula of the New Deal.

F, people to Germany, provided it changed its government to a democratic government. The best assurance of that would be to overthrow Hitler. Democracy is not what is in the mind of Chamberlain and his ilk when they negotiate. They are protecting profits of cap italists and property of capitalists. Why do the newspapers never report the fact that a repre sentative of the merchants of death, the armament plant owners, is present at every international European conference? Men gave their lives by millions when they fought to make the world safe for democracy. It is their precious lives and sacrifices that Chamberlain has sold out in addition tp everything else. Even in these black days, the cause of the people is push ing on. We are many. The betrayers are few. Hereafter when we look at a picture of Hitler we will see the reflection of Chamberlain and his associates. They created the tyrant by permitting him to rearm. Some day the workers will overwhelm them all. War has become so deadly as to be dangerous even to its masters and profiteers. More workers are determining every day to die on their own doorsteps rather than give their lives to armament profiteers. We trust when the hosts of the exploited shake the world with their marching the capitalists will submit with the same docility that the cur Chamberlain connived to Hitler. It will not be surprising if out of the Czech fiasco comes a drive for Fascism in England and France at the order of those who sold out humanity.
