William Pickens Own
S t Dry OF Germany
Nv William Pickans For AxP

The recent German attack on the
helpless Jews in that land is more
savage than any other savagery Of
human history worse than the
coldblooded and orderly brutali;ies
OF the Infamous Torguemeda. who
500 years ago drove the Jews out
OF Spain,--and ruined Spain. Tor
guemada was priest, burdened by
all the superstitions OF the Middle
Ages; but these present German
torturers are fiends with no reli-
gion. The brutality which they are
teaching their own young children,
will some day destroy them.
There is no use in mentioning the
poor little Jewish boz who killed a
man Paris: that is no excuse what
ever for the brutalities committed
by towards against defenteless
people in Germany. The boys deed
was not even the cause OF that
brutality; it served only as pre-
text for letting II loose. II one pre-
text were not found for II yester-
day, another could be found for II
tomorrow. The real causes OF the
burning OF Jewish churches and the
smashing and footing OF their stores
and shops. and the beating OF their
bodies, lie In the false and foolish
teachings OF Germans respecting
Jews,-and especially the horrible
and intensified lying OF the last 6
years or so, conducted by the So
called Nails, under the non-moral
monster who leads them.
It was not the poor Jewish boy
who killed Won Reth in Paris: it
was German brutalities against
Jews that killed him. Such brutali-
~ will cause further murders. and
will at last destroy the Germans.
This cowardly action OF German
mobs. connived in by their political
leaders and officers, has planted the
seeds OF further murder, OF death.
not only in Jewish hearts but in
other hearts not Jewish.
Do Germans think they can bluff
and care the whole world by fire
and club and explosives? They will
be undeceived. The opposition, the
contempt and the. hatred OF man
kind is a dangerous thing for even
brutal Hitlerites TO thoroughly
arouse.
The deed OF the Paris kiIIde Is so
small and insignificant besides the
enormities OF these German mobs,
that IL France were as uncivilIzed
as Germany, the French would let
the boy 20 free,--as Germans go
free, who, for less reason, kill Jews.

FREEDOM

Freedom from scare OF war
From bombing planes that soar,
Not to be in despair and worry,
Or have to go home in hurry
To jump at every sound you hear
Even in daylight to be in fear
That isn't freedom, l know
Not TO do what you want or 90
Some place where you please
And be happy and maybe teased.
Freedom is a powerful word.
And 1t makes one feel assure.

SPAIN SPEEDS
ARMS PLANTS

BARCELONA, March %
GN.S0.-Finding 1t increasingly
difficult to obtain arms and muni-
tions from foreign sources, the
Republican Government Of Spain
today was resorting to drastic
measures to increase the produc.
ton of ornaments within its own
borders.
In an effort to hasten produc.
ton, the government with the CO.
operation Of the two great Span
ish trade unions, the anarchist c.
N. T. and the Catalin section Of
the Socialist U. G. T., was aban-
doning the 40-hour week and
taking other steps contrary to Re
publican doctrines.
AS a result some 100 plants
erected in the provinces occupied
by the loyal forces and where no
armament industry existed before
the outbreak of war, are now pour
ing out arms, munitions and even
light airplanes.
To accelerate output to the
fullest extent the Republican Gov
ernment, with the approval Of
the trade unions, has taken over
the control of the factories and
a number Of DEGREES for speeding
UP production have been issued.
Under these DEGREES, a is per
cent wage increase has been
granted, the working hours Of the
factories increased from 40 to 48
hours weekly, and q speed UP

the workers are obliged to per.

cents per pound. the money be-
ing raised by customs receipts.
Now section 349 (a)" Of the
new law says no farmer can get
his money under this arrange
ment unless he joins the soil
conservation program. Thus 1t
may be seen a farmer in this
predicament might as well vote
for quotas for the other fellow,
because he Is hooked anyway.
IN case these clubs happened
L to lack sufficient induce
ment, there is another. The
new law permits a noncooper-
ating farmer to obtain loans on
only so per cent of what cooper.

is practically to deny him the
loan privileges Of conformists.
But even with all this, the ref
erendum conductors took as
few chances as possible. As q
matter Of fact, the question was
settled before the vote. The
law had already put cotton
quotas into effect automatically

question officially submitted,
do you favor marketing quotas

enormously worded. It should

A Concrete Example


A CONCRETE example Of how
IA this legal technicality works
may be seen here:
Japan has a quota. But the
quota is not for Japanese
citizens. for they are excluded
from America. The Japanese
quota is for persons Of the white
race who may be born in Japan,
but who are not Japanese
citizens.
Thus, for example, a baby
born to British parents tenn
porarily living in Japan, and who
under both japanese and Brit
ish laws, is considered a British
subject, could enter the United
States only under the japanese
quota. The same situation pre-
vailed, let US say, in the case
Of a British subject, born in
Russia. For technical admin
istrative purposes his entry
would be charged UP to the
Russian quota.
Subsequent changes allowed
minors to be admitted under the
citizenship Of their parents,
providing their parents Travelled
with them. But the old, mislead-
ing records still stand-stand
with their hundreds Of names
inscribed thereon, the major
ity belonging to good, law
abiding, decent citizens now
these many years, but citizens
who nevertheless can be be-
smirched and besmeared with
the mud Of innuendo by some
people who take good care that
no explanation Of the technical
fallacies Of those old laws shall
temper their mud throwing.
