PREVENT WAR AND FASCISM
By HOWARD Y. WILLIAMS
National Organizer. Farmer-LabOr PO-
litical Federation. Writing in the
Farmers National Weekly.

War is the most immediate men,
ers, that may keep us from realiz-
ing production for use program
in which we gear farms and fac
tories up to full-production and
permit every family willing to
work to share this wealth and re-
ceive at least $4,000 a year income
Some accident or incident may
occur. like the sinking of the
Maine, which will cause this nation
to stumble into war with Japan. This
is accentuated by the fact that we
have the biggest Navy man in the
White House that ever sat in the
Presidents chair. The economic cri-
sis would make war seem an easy
way out. If war comes, fascist die
tatorship is inevitable.
Z. S. Biggest Spender.
The last Congress appropriated one
billion dollars for the War and Navy
Departments, the largest appropri-
alton ever made for one year in peace
time by any nation in the worlds
history. Out of the first 700 WPA
projects ratified. 496 were for the
army and navy. We are already In
state of war, but have not yet de-
clared it. 1t must not come to pass.
Just as the World war gave a set
back to the progressive and radical
movement from which it has only re-
Gently recovered, another war and
accompanying dictatorship would set
US back twenty-five to fifty years
We must not let it come.
Fascism is enforced capitalism. 1t
is an environment absolutely I'm
friendly to co-operatives and other
farmers and workers organizations.
Just as we levy special tax in Min
nesota on chain stores, a Fascist die
tatorship for Wall Street would put
special taxes on cooperatives, as the
Tory party in England Is doing, and
in other ways try to crush them. We
must never permit this.
The Cleveland Congress of the
American League Against War and
Fascism can express the determina-
ton of organized workers of brain and
hand and farmers not to submit to
either war or fascism. 1t can give
stimulus to militant organization over
the country against war. 1t can give
an impetus to an educational pro-
gram that will acquaint the people
with the facts which is the main
essential. When the workers know
free for a new social order.

KEEP 1T GOING
(The st. Paul Daily News)


Sen. Nye's assault on the name Of
Woodrow Wilson now proves to have
been costly business.
1t has aroused the conservative and
party Democrats to spring to the de-
Tense OF the wartime Presidents name
either because they are really out
ragged at the slur or because they see
the chance to sidetrack an inquiry
which has trod on a number of sem
sltive toes of gentlemen who still
WELD a large measure of power and
contribute heavily to campaign funds.
Whatever the reason it is apparent
that Mr.. Nye's excursion into this bit
of postwar history has been a strate-
sic mistake. Up to this time the COM
mittee has been going great guns and
not even the conservatives in the sem
ate dared exhibit their opposition.
Now they are frankly declaring their
intention of not voting more funds for
further inquiry and may have mus
tered sufficient support to stop it.
This would be a serious mistake
We agree this time at least with the
Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, radio priest,
who is reported to have offered $1O,-

COLD FACTS AND THE ACCIDENT
PROBLEM

An optimistic outlook can be taken
that is being waged all over the ma
ton, when it is seen that aggressive
safe driving" campaigns are being
undertaken by students of number
of American universities and colleges.
1t has been an old idea that the aver
age college boy was a rip-roaring,
irresponsible driver, who speeCed his
flashy roadster at an incredible speed
while one arm encircled blonde and
one hand held flask. This of course,
was much exaggerated but. however.
the truth remains, according to sta
tistics, that the most dangerous driv-
ers are those in their late teens and
early twenties. This does not neces-
sarily relieve responsibility of hun
dreds and hundreds of accidents
caused by older drivers and there is
much to be done to improve their
driving technique. However, If the
menace of automobile accidents can
be brought home to these drivers, we
will have taken an important step in
curing the problem. Many news
papers are doing good work in reg
ularly publishing cartoons and pic
lures of various forms of reckless
driving and their results in sudden
death. or at least serious accident.
One Of the safe driving" cam
paigns mentioned above is being con-

what 1t is supposed, to be- The U. s.
A. is supposed to be Christian ma
ton. Yet, we burn negroes at the
stake, we have Jews in the supreme
court and at least one good Nordic
citizen left here because it was not
safe place to live and raise family.
Mr.. Soderquist said, Hitler found
the Fatherland grooming under the
oppression Of lot of Jews, and is
prying them loose" Stain and his
81 secretaries do not stop at any
thing. Forty of them are Jews,
heartless monsters, without any feel
ing for human misery" 1t is hard
to believe that human nature is so
depraved that "a high officials in any
country are totally devoid of altru-
istic principles. If Mr.. Soderauist
believes that all Jews are monsters,
he should be reminded, that Christ.
Paul, Karl Marx and Lennin were all
Jews and whether time proves them
right or wrong they individually and
collectively have influenced western
civilization as much, perhaps more,
than any other four men. If Marks
and Lennin's philosophy proves to be
wrong, remember that Paul was not
always right. 1t took a miraculous
conversion to put him right. 1t is
not a question of which is the better
place to live, /. e. under Communism
or Fascism. 1t Is up to us to de-
eide whether there is anything in
either of them that we can use in our
forms of government. Neither idea
is new. The American Indian was a
Communist. Christ preached Com
munism in it's most radical form. 1t
is. next to patriarchal. the oldest
form of human society. Rule by a
super-man who is strong enough to
rise to the position of dictator must
have it's good points or it would not
be favored by such writer's as Carlyle
and Neitzsche. Democracy cannot be
all good or France would not have
changed back and forth from mon
archial to democratic government ten
times in 80 years. Russia was held
back for centuries by the half oriental
Greek church so perhaps the only way
out was to ditch it altogether. Who
knows?
The U. S. A. has it's own problems
to solve. IL the fight between capital
and labor cannot be settled; if mount
ing taxes cannot be checked; If demo-
cratic government costs more than
the people can pay. a substitute will
have to be found. If nationalism and
militarism keeps spreading, what are
we headed for? :, Race hatred. Mr..
SOderquist was not taught by the
Meek and Lowly." @

THE KING is DEAD

Monday marked the passing OF
King George V in person, but in fact'
his Job, as we have become accus-
toned to know kings through reading
of history books, has been dead for
many years. His was an honorary
position, or more of a figurehead In
the actual government of Great Brit
ain although he is still an important
parsonage in the empire. His title
represents permanency and the au-
thority in whose name the various
party governments function.
King George V and Queen Mary,
although of that class whom we
Americans look to as subjects of fairy
tales, did good job in their empire.
King George was a kindly and con-
scientious man and it was his pur-
pose to reign but not rule. He and
his queen had carried on their task
of reignine with tact and cOnsidera-
tion for their subjects.
On the other hand speaking Of life.
as is, in Great Britain the new king
the Prince of Wales-eldest son OF
King George, succeeds to the throne.
and it appears perfectly natural that
he do so in so far as the people OF
the British empire are concerned.

BLIND FLAG WAVING
New Ulm Review

To Minnesotans living outside the
Twin Cities the Strutwear Knitting
company disorder and subsequent
martial law would appear uncOnse-
quential. Actually, despite all Twin
City newspaper reports to the con-
trary, Strutwear's closing under mill
tary supervision is no more than
Justified. And the attitude taken by
state officials on the matter Is an eN-
cellent example OF the concern held
by the administration for the working
man.
1t is indeed tragic that adequate
publicity cannot be given all facts in
substantial evidence to indicate that
laborers at Strutwear were receiving
deplorably low wages. An institution
which cannot afford to pay Its work
ers a decent living salary has no right
to exist. Strutwear either made in
sufficient money or else had no con-
Germ for it's employees. In any event
this factor would certainly justly the
picketing. If the law offers labor no
security, then labor must apparently
take matters in its own hands.
Nothing concerning the low wages
paid Strutwear employees has been
made public by Minneapolis newspa-
pers. One daily contents itself with
editorial comment on the city's need
for this business institution" and the
threat to every worker In Mime
apolis" created by martial law at
Strutwear
BY such blind civic flag waving the
lot of deprived Minneapolis workers
cannot be aided Nor does 1t speak
well for the intelligence Of city to
encourage the opening of a factory
when violent disorder Is bound to re-
suit. BY calling out the nationa.
guard to keep order at Strutwear the
state is doing no more than should be
expected of it. Disregarding the de-
plorable working conditions, it still
remains the duty of a commonwealth
to keep peace. If the state has an ad-
ded interest in the welfare of labor
ers, so much more should be the
credit.

EDUCATION MAKES BETTER
COOPERATION

Recently leaders in the cooperative
movement have laid considerable
stress on education as more solid
groundwork for an intelligent and
progressive movement. DR.. Frank P.
Graham, president of the Greater Uni
versity of North Carolina, said re-
Gently that Intelligent cooperation
and education must go hand in hand
This is particularly applicable to
cooperation by farmers. The coopera-
tive movement is essentially an edu-
catiOnal movement. The most en-
thusiastic group of farmers in the
world will not progress in coOpera-
tive and make a success of it If they
lack knowledge and purpose. On the
ether hand, the best informed of
farmers are likely to fall short of the
greatest success if they refuse to CO.
operate.
An encouraging fact is that the bet
ter farm co-ops have given greater
attention to the educational factor in
recent years. They have taught the
farmers great deal concerning the
laws of supply and demand, tariff and
embargOes, currency and monetary
problems, etc. Farmers have learned
there is much more to prosperous
farming than just planting crop one
season and harvesting it the next, and
they also are learning that education
in cooperation is the solution to many
Of their problems.
Furthermore, educating the chill
dren in the fundamentals and ac-
quainting them with the sound husi-
ness principles of real cooperation is
one of the biggest forward steps in
the movement. More co-ops each year
are wisely placing greater stress on
education in their movements.
