THE DISLOYAL WILL Be
FERRETED OUT
Council of Defense Thinks Time
Has Come to Label the
Unsympathizers

Disloyalty should be stamped out il
Idaho, the state council of defense be
lieves. The leading article appearing
in the of icial press bulletin issued thi:
week makes this fact plain. The coun-
ell also give publicity to resolution
passed by the national council declar-
ing for supervision of funds solicited
for war purposes and asking the state
/ councils to take over this matter. The
article says in part:
"The time is rapidly approaching in
Idaho when the disloyal-those aiding
our enemies by refusing assistance to
their own country-will be ferreted
out. 1t is apparent even to the most
casual observer there are some people
absolutely blinded to the critical sit
uation the nation faces; who refuse,
either deliberately or through igno-
rance, to take home to themselves its
seriousness. Some of them are
thoughtless, others are needless while
not few are covertly in sympathy
with the enemies of their own country
With the thoughtless there has been
tolerance; with the needless there is
disgust and against the latter class
there is developing desire among the
patriotic and loyal TO bring them to
time. 1t is unfortunate that those in
all three classes cannot see at this
time they are riding to a fall.
"The thougless and needless must
be made to understand that sacrifices
are expected of them. If they have
means and plead financial distress for
refusal to take part of the first or sec
ond issue liberty bond, contribute to
the Red Cross or other as commend |
able war work, every community
should see that in the future they 1
cease being slackers financially. If
they decline to assist in the food con-
programs that fact should
De made known. The shame and hu-
niliation of being considered such a
lacker by ones neighbors should be in
tself sufficient to show them the er-
'ors of their ways. On the battle
ields of Europe the enemy snipe our
oldiers. In the second line of de-
ense here at home there may also be
ound the snipers. They too, are in {
irectly firing at the men who are I
caring arms in refense of the honor i
f their country. 8
With the covert sympathizers for
ne enemy-those who would sooner
ae the blond-haired butchers of the
atherland rule them with the iron I
and of militarism than enjoy the
-eedom and prosperity of America Il
lere can be nothing but deep resent
ent. Yet they are to be found in II
lmbers in the United States and
me of them are in Idaho. Should
ey not mend their ways, they should o.
be turned over to the fed d'
al authorities with ample evidence $
back the charge they are disloyal- ..
Idahoans should see to it that those p'
no spread falsehoods about the Red as
'oss, the food conservation, etc, be '"
rreted out They should themselves
ard against the repeating of such 81
