I believe, in view Of the gravity
of this charge, Nine. Perkins
should be forced to answer. If
she can prove she is not a Com
munist, she should demand suit

made the charge should be pun

But If she is a Communist,
then she should be forced to re-

Quizzes 'NeuU Dealer

Being one of those who have
often criticized the inconsistent
and illogical policy Of the New
Deal, I take pleasure in answer
ing the letter New Dealers
View"
His letter contains the same
old tripe Of New Deal bombast
to which we have been accus-
tomed-as screwy as the New
Deal itself.
He made no attempt to ex-
plain away any of the charges
against New Dealism. For In
stance, many of us would like
to have him explain the New
Deal arithmetic. I
A few OF the questions I would
like to have him answer are:
How can money be put into cir
culation and the depression
broken by financing recovery
projects, with money obtained by
borrowing or selling tax free
bonds? Isn't it a fact that that
method takes money out Of cir
culation? Why should any OF
the money be borrowed or bonds
sold when we have tons Of idle
gold and silver?
Here's hoping he can give
logical answers to these ques-
tions.

With war in Spain, war in

Europe, when will this country
awake to its danger?

with which to defend it.
We have seen Hitler grab Aus

where would we be?

cratic votes this fall to cost S..

Just another cog in the Demo
cratic unemployment racket" It
becomes more apparent every
day that those now in power do
not want the men to go back
to "real jobs and real pay"
They wish to keep them in line
for voting purposes"-and they
are told just how to vote for each
dollar they are given. The ris-
ing tide against this "unemploy-
ment racket" must and will come
but it must come from the
unemployed themselves. They
must be the ones to throw off
this Democratic yoke" and end
this bought depression.

SUSQUEHANNA TO HAVE
BRIDGE AT PERRYVILLE

A new highway over the Susque-
hanna river above Perryville as part
of the Gov. Nice Highway when it is
extended to the Delaware line will be
built eventually, according to Nathan
L. Smith, chief engineer of the State
Roads Commission.
Mr.. Smith made the announcement
in addressing the Maryland Associa-
ton of Engineers meeting at the
Southern Hotel, Baltimore last Satur-
day. He told the engineers also of
plans to build a bridge across the
Potomac river below Washington.
Mr.. Smith included mention of the
two bridges in a description of the
states future plans for arterial high
ways.
The Susquehanna bridge, though
not to be built Immediately, is an
eventual necessity for the Governor
Nice highway, Mr.. Smith said. 1t
would replace the present double-deck
bridge at Havre de Grace.
The Governor Nice highway, of
which 81 miles is completed, will by
pass Havre de Grace to the north,
cross the Susquehanna on the new
bridge and then bypass the towns OF
Perryville, North East and Elkton en-
route to the Delaware line, he said.
