mere is also in this country
a body of superbly trained men
who know how to put Army
posts into good condition and
maintain them. These men
were the Expeditionary Force
of America. Fourteen years
ago they were the pride of
this nation. Today, their con-
dition and the treatment they
have received, when seeking
their bonus, is a national dis
grace. But they still are
loyal. And they are still eff
cient.
Are Trained Workers
In their ranks are trained
workers of every class. With
the most meager scraps, and
under the most abominable
circumstances, they built an
encampment in Washington
and maintained order that won
the respect and admiration OF
everyone who visited them.
WHY NOT THROW OPEN

We shall have to provide shell
ter and food somewhere. The
various local community drives
are now collecting funds for
this purpose. But in every COM
munity the existing, charitable
institutions are already over
crowded. There exists no emer'
gency camp capable Of meeting
the housing situation. And
much Of the money contributed
for food will be wasted for lack
of centralized food depots.

The B. E. F. know men.
They know the desperate con.
ditions facing idle men-starv.

know how to restore buildings
how to construct decent

The Comedy Skit Of
The Hoover Cabinet

AS the campaign draws to
a close, with Mr.. Hoover
bitter in his statements, the
strategy is becoming more
absurd. Could anything be
more stupid or grotesque
than the comedy skit of the
Hoover Cabinet, standing up
to their necks in the wreck
age and ruin of the Hoover
panic, and solemnly warn
ing the people that the cleo
tion Of Roosevelt may bring
a depression! When leaders
in a hysteria of fear so part
company with their sense Of
humor they are unfit to lead
or advise.
Equally ridiculous is the
attempt to convince the lib
erals Of the country, that
the only way to open the
breweries and put men to
work, and to tighten the
burden Of taxation on bust
ness men with a tax on beer
is to continue in power the
man who thinks national
prohibition noble expert
ment'"; who played fast and
loose with the liberals in
1928; who made a mockery
of the Wickersham report
and interpreted it as mean
ing that we must hold on to
prohibition while holding on
to Hoover; who personally
directed the fight in his con-
vention to kill an honest,
unequiyocal declaration for
straight repeal Of the Eight
eenth Amendment; and who
never by word -or hint has
indicated anything other
than a bitter hostility to
the modification of the Vol
stead act to make beer Dos
sible.
Mr.. Roosevelt's party
stands four square for such
modification.
Mr.. Roosevelt personally
has declared unequivocally y
for the immediate modifica-
tion of the Volstead act
after his Inauguration.
His convention declared
for this policy by an over.
whelming majority of votes
coming from every section
of the country.
And Mr.. Hoover is abso-
lutely against it.
