There the Russians are needing
FOOD, you e e
Next, the Literary Digest quotes
some big capitalist as saying:
"The idea that FOOD and clothing
can be supplied adequate to make
any impression on the suffering Rus-
sian people is an iridescent dream"
There the Russians are still needing
FOOD, you see.
Then up steps u friend Herbert
Hoover and says:
eff the blockade is opened the Boil
shevik government must ecure the
import Of FOOD and clothing at onee,
and thereby great suffering will be
mitigated."
Poor old Russia still needing FOOD
imported to save her from starvation.
I have put the word FOOD in capt.
tails to impress on your mind hew
bad Russia is needing to be fed by the
dear, big-hearted outside world.
But now the tune changes all at
once. Just listen, If you please, to
this one from the New York Evening
Post:
"New York business men believe
that Europe's FOOD situation was an
important factor in bringing about
the decision. 1T is SAID THAT THE
FOOD WHICH MAY BE OBTAIN
ED FROM RUSSIA MAY BE SUE
FICIENT TO RENDER MUCH LESS
DIFFICULT THE PROBLEM OF
FEEDING EUROPE BETWEEN
NOW AND THE NEXT HARVEST"

WHO Is HUNGRY, ANYHOW

At last the blockade against Russia
has been lifted. 90 they say. But
dozens Of different reasons are given
IS to WHY It was lifted. Tho very
fact that the move was made just on
the heels of q series Of great Bolahe-
vik victories makes It look a plum
sight like the Allies were just whip.
ped and had to surrender. That ia
the way the Bolsheviks look at it,
anyhow, and I guess they r right. J
But some folks will try, to make
it appear that the Allies were just
SO ag~aanimous and big-hearted
that they wanted a chance to feed
the starving people of. Russia, and
they couldn't do it until the blockade
was lifted. Terrible doggon good all
at once! But it wouldn't have looked
SO suspicious if they had opened their
tender, yearning hearts at a time
when the Red armies were not win
ming victoies right and left. It is going
to be mighty hard now to convince
the world that the Allies were not just
cleverly whipped.
But the cry will come that ne got
sorry for the folks we were fighting,
and wanted to feed them, because they
were starving to death. That has
been the song for many moons now
that the Bolshevik were letting the
people starve-that they were out of
food, clothing and everything else.
Isn't it a strange and unaccountable
thing, then, how they could still stay
able to wage successful war against
the Allied world?
Now I want to cali your attention
very briefly to some editorial ex-
tracts from different papers. First we
will hear what the Washington Post
has to say:
"If the Allies are willing to give
FOOD, perhaps they will also furnish
arms and munitions to the Bolsheviki,
with which to murder Poland and
Rumania. Why not? It is as foolish
to FEED the Bolsheviki as it is to
arm them"

The fool, ignorant, fanatical over

titled to some respect.

a LITTLE SERMON ON ANGELS

/ discover as / jog along that a
whole lot Of the orthodox wooden
heads are all balled up on the angel
business. When I was a little bare
footed rascal going to the o~ld-fashion-
ed WESTINGHOUSE / used to hear 'em
punish a song that went something
Hke this:
ri want to be an angel,
: And with the angels stand,
; A crown upon my forehead,
! A harp within my hand"
And then the very minute a Of
shem would feel a little pain across
Che small end Of his misery somebody
would have to go nckety-splt for the
doctor, and they would try every EN-
edy under the sun that they thought
might keep them from being an angel
q little while longer.
And that put me to thinking. Even
then. in my boyish ignorance, I could
see that the good Amen Corner tobac-
co-suuirtera didn't want to be angels
n half as bad as they pretended
to. That kind Of sam-singing ID just
about one per cent religion, nineteen
per cent hyprocracy, and eighty per
cent pure unadulterated Ignorance.
find some people yet who actual
~ think that dead people go to heav-
en- and become angels as soon as they
die. They think all the angels they
read about in the Bible are dead hui
man folks that have been sorter ;
vanped and made over and had
turkey wings grated onto their
shoulder blades.
That is all very foolish and un-
reasonable. There was just as many
angels in heaven before Adam was
made as there is now. God isn't so
poor and hard-run for material that he
has to hang around and wait for
somebody on earth to die in order to
get the scraps to make an angel out
of.
Angels are entirely a different order
of creation from human beings. An
gels are a higher order than man,
Just as the animal creation is a low
.er order than man and these different
orders will not mix at all. You can't
make an angel out ola human being,
any more than you could make gaso-
line out of branch water.
It does look like the orthodox fools
would learn a little sense sometime.

GOT NAVY READY, BUT VIOLATED LAW,
 ROOSEVELT SAYS

New York, February 1.-In describing alleged conditions of unpreparedness in the American navy prior to the war with Germany. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt declared to- night, in an address at Brooklyn, that as the result of his efforts to obtain an ade- quate programme of action he had ''com- mitted enough illegal acts to put him in jail for 999 years" He said he undoubt- edly would have been impeached if he had made wrong guesses.
 Two months after was was declared, v said MT. Roosevelt q saw that the navy was still unprepared and 1 spent forty millions for guns before congress gave me or any one permission to spend any money.
 The assistant secretary said that before the war he was opposed by the Presi- dent who said that he did not want to commit any overt act of war, but who added that he was following a definite course in an effort to avert a war
 In March, 1917, Mir. Roosevelt said, he suggested Admiral Sims as the head of the inter-alled fleet. He paid tribute to Annapolis Naval Academy and said that the S000 officers and students there at the outbreak of the war deserved much credit for helping to train the great naval forces which took part in the struggle
