To the Grand Old Friend
OF Ours
By ARTHUR sUNDERMAN

BY ARTHUR SUNDERMAN
He may be hated by a few,
but he is loved by millions too,
this grand old friend of ours.
He has taken from the rich
and greedy, so he could dis
tribute wealth among the most
deserving needy, this grand old
friend Of ours.
He's fed and clothed the poor
alike, gave us work and shown
us the guiding light, this grand
old friend Of ours.
His sincerity of human justice
shall be fought for all his life,
until he gains the objective that
he has in sight, this grand old
friend of ours.
For blind and crippled
children, his hand is reaching
out, to help and aid them all,
with his human heart, this
grand old friend of ours.
Washington was the father
OF our country, Lincoln freed
the slaves, Roosevelt conquered
poverty and destruction in a de.
termined and fearless way, this
grand old friend Of ours.
His patriotic attitude for the
protection Of his people and his
loving land, shall always fly
with Old Glory as we march
hand in hand, this grand old
friend of ours.
His rejection would be fought
fiercely by his foes, but the
American voters will demand
the man they really know, this
grand old friend Of ours.
His loyalty to his country
shall always be remembered in
the future years to come, for
he's going down in history for
the splendid work he's done,
this grand old friend Of ours.
Fit for Liberty?
It will soon be necessary for
the American people to appraise
the accomplishments of the
New Deal and ascertain If what
has been done has been in con-
formity with promises made,
and the assurances Of a more
abundant life for ALL"
It would seem that 80 years
ago John Stuart Mill hit the
nail on the head when he made
the following statement:
"A people may prefer a free
government, but If from in.
dolence or careleSsneSs or
cowardice or want Of public
spirit they are unequal to the
exertionS necessary for preserv'
ing it; if they will not fight
when directly attacked; If they

Paving the Way?

Before a dictatorship can be
established it is necessary to
break down existing authority.
In Russia and Italy there were
periods of mob rule before the
dictators grabbed control. It is
interesting, therefore, to note
that practically all the strikes
called by the CIO are accom-
panied by vandalism and vio-
lence, tending to break down
existing authority and establish
mob rule. I think the boys are
trying to pave the way for q
