The Red Cross Drive

once again the American Red Cross is asking you to
" join, that it may continue to carry on its great
humanitarian work. And it is to be hoped that every
and in Washington will heed that appeal
Even that appeal is voiced here the Red Cross today
is mobized for disaster relief in the sormswept section
of New England where loss of life and property has been
heavy.
Twenty-four hours day. and three hundred and sixty
five days year. the Red Cross stands ready to meet
emergency that may arise
1t knows barriers of creed. Where the need
k there is the Red Cross Throughout the country there
37OO chapters Of the organization organized to ad
minister relief to the suffering.
Here in Washington we have the national headquar-
ters with trained corps of experts ready to risk their
lives to plunge into any section they are needed.
In the past year the Red Cross expended more than
$1O OOOOOO and the major part of this went for dis
aster relief.
To meet these demands, money is needed. And that
money only from the dollars of those who heed
the call of the annual roll call and join the Red Cross
So in the interest of humanity, place your name on
this list next week when the roll call starts here in

the country for him to serve a

Stick to America

Replying to the signer of Live
and Let Live" also to the per
son who signs self as "An Amer
ican," well I am an American by
birth, but I have discovered that
those who desire us to dictate
to Germany or want us to 60 to
war, are those who don't know
the true conditions that brought
the Hon. Adolf Hitler or Pre-
mier Mussolini into power in
their two respective nations, or
they were still babies in mothers
arms during the last war.
In a few words they don't
know why they are expressing
their opinions. Space does not
permit me to give full and COM
plete details as to what caused
the rise of the Nationalist So
cialist political party in Ger
many, but for your information
I wish to say that only those
who were traitors to Germany
in her trials while she was
struggling against communism
and red ruin after the war are
the loudest Screamers Of hate
against the Hon. Adolf Hitler.
Any man, Jew or Gentle,
who proves a traitor to his
country is unfit to be permitted
to remain in any country, and
our own nation is overlooked
with these arch traitors Of their
own home lands.
They come to our shores with
pitiful screams Of prosecutions.
So does a criminal scream injus-
tice when his crimes find him
out. Analysing the writings of
the two misinformed people, of
whom I question their knowl-
edge Of war or the conditions
that beset Germany and Italy
before naziSm or faScism, why
not confine your interests to
America, and forget the Euro
pean nations.

Can't be Ignored

United States.
Can't be Ignored
While every reason exists
against our going to war with
Mexico over the matter, yet it
is one that we cannot afford to
ignore, because the action Of
Mexico sets a precedent that
will be followed by others Of our
southern neighbors, and is de-
structive Of every principle Of
international law and comfy
among civilized nations.
If history teaches anything. it
is that nations, as well as indi-
viduals, to be respected and to
exert any influence, must be
firm, and back such an attitude
with force in a just cause when
necessary.
Believing it is the duty Of our
Government to protect the legiti-
