Text for ObstruCtionists

Here are few of the ugly truths
told by Mr.. Hoover for the good of
all concerned:
Our foodstuffs are needed abroad
if the world" is to go through the
winter without starvation.
If they are not so sent, so much
have we to spare that there will be a
glut at home.
Meantime we have wild extrava-
gance on the part of those who have
larger incomes than they can intelli-
gently spend
1t is time to apply our National
energies to world problems and time
to stop "jockeying" for political
position.
An especially disturbing truth is
that political chaos may follow fail
ure to ratify the treaty.
Another is that since the armis-
tico was signed production here has
'slackened enormously"
Room for this inventory should be
found in the Congressional Record"
and marked copy sent to each of
the obstructionists.-Brooklyn Eagle.

The Route of Anarchy.

Freedom in the United States is
under the law and is possible only as
the law and its institutions are up
held. The security and safety of
! lOO, 100000 cannot be subjected to
continued menace of a few thousand
alien malcontents who are deliber-
ately sowing the seed of anarchy and
revolution and are abusing the hos
pitality of this country by melting
the unthinking and reckless to a pro-
gram of violence, which if they
could, they would flame into a civil
war.
Attorney general Palmer is using
the power of his office and the forces
of law and order at his command in
strong and comprehensive effort to
clear the country of these disturbers
and to guarantee to the Nation, col
lectively and individually, the liberty
and opportunity which were the es-
sential detectives of the Declaration
of Independence and the Constitu-
ton under which the Government
was organized. And in that effort
he deserves the support and cooper
alton of every citizen
To temporize or to deal half
heartedly and hesitatingly with such
a situation as has been revealed by
the investigation of the department
of justce-in fact, which has been
openly boasted by the chief fire
brands-would be folly. The arm
of the law must be strong and un-
yielding if the fundamental guar
antees of American Government are
to be fulfilled. philadelphia Bulle-
