MARS :OvERa THE
WHITE HOUSE
Fascism and Communism stand at swords points
in Europe.
Let's face the truth.
War ic imminent

tnct IN Spain has become grim renearSal Tor Cne l-
pending death struggle of those "isms" for domina
tion of Europe Both sides smuggling their latest
war devices into Spain, for tryOut.
Tension over the Continent increases daily.
Russias threat to Germany is little short OF an
ultimatum. Mussolini has stepped up Italian NUM-
tons production by so percent German aircraft fac
tories work overtime England, still family hopeful
of keeping out, hurries naval and aircraft con-
strcton provides gas masks for every family In the
British 1sles France desperately seeks to save Oft
civil conflict such as that which is rending Spain
The European powder keg is filled with destruc-
tion far terrible than anything loosed in the
World War. That powder keg is prmed for the blow
off The most optimistic diplomat talks not of avert
ing war but merely of pOstponing it.
The spark? It may come months hence. Weeks
hence. And it may come tomorrow.
Europe is hell bent.
Once that hell breaks loose
We, in America, are going to forget all about the
other issues of this Presidential campaign
Once that hell breaks loose -
We, in America, going to quit arguing about
recovery already we'll under way. We will be laugh
ing bit historically at the stupid rantings about
charges of 'New Deal Communism, of threats to the
american way" at all the other hOgWash which now
muddies the campaign.
Every American will be thinking just one
thought:
KEEP THE UNITED STATES OUT!
The time to think that thought is NOW-before
Peace will depend upon the craftsmanship of the
man. in the White House.
If Mars rides over the chancelleries Of Europe,
Mars also rides over the White House
If there is powder keg in Europe, there also is
powder keg in the United States. And while the
geographical location of that powder keg is Whining
ton, -
The fuse begins at the White House.
Roosevelt has his foot on that fuse.
Would Landon keep his foot on it? With the best
intentions in the world COULD Landon keep his foot
crushing that fuse when the duPOnts, far and
away the biggest contributors to his campaign, are
the propretOrs of the powder keg?
When Landon accepted the support Of the du-
Points, when he welcomed the hundreds of thousands,
if not millions Of dollars they contributing to his
election, he made himself hostage of Mars.
Franklin D. Roosevelt is definitely committed to
effective neutrality legislation.
Landon has been conspcuously silent on neu-
traity. He has been conspcuousy silent on foreign
affairs generally. I
But his backers the duPonts and Hearst - who
instigated the Spanish American war talking
loud with their money. Hearst made millions out of
his war, how many God only knows. The duPonts
made $229,0O0O0O out of the World War, have been
selling munitions since to our potential enemies and
stand to make vastly bigger sum out Of another
war; far more than enough to pay them for their in
vestment in the LandOn campaign
1t is any wonder millions of sober, thoughtful
Americans shudder at even the possibility OF Cover
nor Landons election?
Landon, no doubt is against war But can't
wish away We learned that 20 years ago.
And could LandOn-wOuld LandOn dare-take the
steps necessary to prevent sponsor the stringent
neutrality legislation which alone would to keep
us out =
When that legislation is abhorrent not only to-
the duPonts and Hearst but to all the rest of the big
financial hackers of the Republican nominee, all of
whom fought bitterly against the present made
quate neutrality law?
Above ALL with the best intentions in the worl'
does Landon possess the craftsmanship, the courage
the daring to lead this country in time of war emeT
gency?
Not even his friends make that claim for him.
And not even the worst enemies of Franklin |
