He made no mention of Reichs-
fuehrer Hitler or of Premier Mus
solini by name, but challenged
recent statements of each, and
asked:
"Do we really have to as
sumo that nations can find no
better methods OF realizing
their destinies than those used
by the Huns and Nandals 500
years ago."
Repeatedly, Roosevelt empha
sized that what hits the old world
jars the new, and he contrasted

sultative basis of western hemi-
sphere living with conditions pre-
vailing beyond the sea.

Social Dance IL Be Held
By Workers Alliance

Arrangements have been made for
a social dance to be given by the
Workers Alliance at Carpenters
hall, March l, music by Palmer's
orchestra.
The local branch of this nation
wide organization is working in
unison with the national office and
in line with President Roosevelt's
request for a sufficient appropria-
ton to keep the "WPA program"
going as long as the emergency
exists. While members and others
have already contacted members of
Congress on this matter, it was de-
cided by the local club to start a
nickel petition drive"-each signer
to pay a nickel with the signature
to defray expenses. The Butte chap
ter has been fortunate in having
members who unstintingly have
given their time and efforts where
ever required. The grievance com
mittee can vouch for that, but they
have also received many grateful
acknowledgements from people they
have helped. Roosevelt once said:
"As individuals, l can do but little
for you, but as an organization 1
can do much"
It is to each and all our interests
to take the President at his word
and join a club to help each other
for our common welfare. The Butte
local meets in Carpenters hall each
Monday, 8 p. m.
