A MODEL FOR PATRIOTS

The call for a Continental Congress for Economic
Reconstruction" to be held in Washington, d.. G., May
6 and Z, sends us back to our history books:
In. October, 1774, the famous First Continental Con-
gress met in Philadelphia and became the first decisive
step of the American colonists toward the Revolution
which achieved their independence. Grievances long
borne and now become intolerable brought that Con-
gross into being. Unjust taxation, imposing upon the
colonists a standing army in time of peace, robbing them
of civil liberties, iniquitous trials for treason according
to Anticipated statutes, appointment of judges who were
not responsible to the people-these were grievances
stated in their Resolutions.
1.-THE miseries to which they had been reduced" they
declared in their Call, had been set forth in petitions
which the King and his subservient ministers had de-
clined to receive. Therefore, "for the recovery and es-
Establishment Of their just rights and liberties" they pro-
posed and called this congress.
The memorable action of this First Continental Con-
gress properly took the form of a Declaration of Rights.
That action was fundamental. 1t was a manifesto to the
tyrannical government against which they were rising,
and to the world, of the grounds of their rebellion. This
Declaration began by affirming the colonists' right to
"life, liberty, and property" They did "claim, demand,
as free citizens of the British Empire. They denounced
acts and measures which are violations of those rights
and liberties, violations that belonged to "a system form
ed to ensave America"
New statutes had been imposed, they asserted, that
"are i%mpoltic, unjust, and cruel, as well as unconstitu-
tional and most dangerous and destructive of American
rights" Assemblies have been frequently dissolved
contrary to the rights of the people when they attempt
ed to deliberate on grievances" Their petitions for re-
dress had repeatedly been treated with contempt by their
overlords.
This famous Declaration speaks for itself. 1t is an
excellent model. The Congress itself is an excellent
model. What that Congress and that Declaration meant
for the world in 1774 in a political way our Continental
Congress for Economic Reconstruction and the Declare
ton it should issue should mean in an economic way.
That Congress and that Declaration were s~urcharged with
the spirit of rebellion; they led directly to the American
Revolution. 1t was not six months until 'the embattled
farmers fired the shot heard round the world"
Montana labor news., 1933-04-13

If there is any department Of The federal government
where a radical change of policy and a new deal' is
needed, t is the treasury department. Mellon and Mills,
cabineteers and treasury secretaries under Harding, Cool
idge and Hoover, made the department a playhouse for
the rich and privileged. Prizes in the form of billions in
tax refunds were handed out. The fat boys were per-
mitted to defraud the government out of millions in Just
taxes with false income tax returns. And, ironically
enough, at the same time the administration was attack
ing appropriation bills for unemployment relief and
other purposes as raids on the federal treasury"
1t is too early to form any judgment on the policy
which Secretary Woodin of the Roosevelt cabinet will
pursue. So far he has shown a capacity for quick action
in response to the orders of his chief. Whether he will
make the treasury department a picnic grounds for the
milionaires remains to be seen, but it is doubtful if his
administration could be more inimical to the public well
fare than those of the past IL years. We doubt if the
