tons Navy League, the reactionary
American Legion leadership, and the
United States Naval Reserve Officers
Association, we read:
Through the Chapters and Posts
of the participating organizations,
Speakers Bureaus have been organ
lied to furnish speakers on National
Defense before Civic, Fraternal and
Patriotic Organizations as well as
Educational Institutions, Essay con-
tests are being sponsored among stu
dents at schools and colleges on such
subjects as Peace Time Activities OF
the Army The Economic Value Of
the Soldier "A Navy Second to
None, 'Preparadness-A War Pre-
ventive, The Navy and Our Trade
Lanes ETC., with prizes and honor
able mentions to be awarded to the
best thereof"
A SUBTLE progression from
n Peace Time Activities Of the
Army" to the real thing. 1.-THE Navy
and Our Trade Lanes" That's what
you call propagandizing war-mind-
edness. Even the $500 a year
General John j. Pershing couldn't do
better with his National Defense"
contribution, sour history is replete
with the contributions Of the Army
to our economic and national well
fare"
And each day the War Depart
ment and the National Recovery Ad-
ministration move closer together.
One day Colonel Robert H. Mont
gomery, secretary of the War Poll
cies Commission and former member
of the War Department. General
Staff, steps into the picture labelled
as a nationally known accountant
and lawyer as Chief of the Re-
search and Planning Division Of the
N. r. A. Exactly a week later, Jesse
I. Miller, former aide-de-camp to
the late Major General Crowder,
the Provost Marshal General and
Judge Advocate General who super
vised the "Selective Draft" is APP
pointed Executive DireeDor of the
strike breaking National Labor
Board. Obviously, the approaching
strike wave Is something which the
Administration prefers a militarlst
to handle, especially one who had
such valuable experience supervising
elections" as Miller did in the ca
paeity of United States umpire of
the presidential elections in Mica
ragua." The adamant and brutal
E. T. Weir of the Weirton Steel Cor
poration must be properly supported
when the new election" maneuvre
fails. 1.-THE Board deemed the APP
pointment Of an Executive Director
advisable In view Of the marked in
crease in the number Of cases re-
ferred to it by the Regional Labor
Boards" N. r. A. release number
1894 declared.
At the same time, the government,
through the facade of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration
feels sufficiently bold to drop the
democratic mask moment to APP
point John Franklin Carter, avowed
fascist and co-writer Of the program
of the Socialist Party Continental
Congress, as special advisor in poll
teal economy to the A.A.A. This
Carter, according to the A.A.A. an
nouncement, was previously en-
ployed by the Department of State
as Economic Advisor to the Division
of Western European Affairs and has
for the last two years, been engaged
in independent writing" This Gin
dependent writing" for the most
part, consisted in trying to persuade
young Wall Street plutocrats to form
a fascist party with Carter as its
ideologist.
When all the guns are reared, SUI
ficient chemical mortars ready and
enough planes darkening the clouds
capitalism will come out into the
sunlight openly spraying its poisons
Of fascism and war.
