Steady, America!
We Don't Need Hysteris

seconstituted committee has dug I'D series of pro-
committee going to meet in Washington to prevent
passage of any such laws.
That these things are being seriously advocated
k hard to understand Here of the proposals which
the committee has unearthed:
/. bill providing deportation of all aliens who may
advocate any change in our government matter how
peaceful.
2. bill providing concentration camps for aliens who
are nondeportabe because other government will
cept them. This might nternment camps for many
who accused of crime and who unable to leave
the country through no fault of their own.
8. bill providing registration of all aliens and their
children, arrest without and deportation of all
who are relief more than year.
bill providing for deportation of all aliens and pro-
hbition of all immigration.
8. Several bills for deportation of large numbers of
aliens because of ooseydefned adherence to ism and
various other bills for registration, fngerprntng, and
other oppressive regulation of aliens who do not file nten
ton to become citizens.
These only the drastic of many proposals being
studied by this committee.
is true that the rights of aliens in the United States
probably dependent the will of congress rather than
being specifically guaranteed by the constitution
Throughout that document however the citizen

instance, Article XIV Section mo state shall make

mmuntes of citizens of the United States shall any
etae deprive of fe liberty property without
due of laws deny within its uris
dicton the equal protection of the laws
Here the terms to be used less inter-
ehangaby but in general is the rights of citizens which
protected by the constitution, leaving aliens the
mercy of changing laws.
Nevertheless, congress ought 20 very slow with any
proposals to regiment otherwise harass aliens who
without personal fault who have violated law
existing Generosity and liberation in the world

HYSTERICAL AIR
EXPANSION UNWISE

Veteran American airmen are
deeply troubled over the almost
historical tempo of the program
for aviation expansion. They
foresee unhappy consequences in
the loss Of lives and money and
in unbalanced development.
New planes making from 400
to 500 miles an hour. they insist,
are too difficult and dangerous
to handle except for few ex-
perieneed pilots in the army and
nsvy--perhaps 20 in all. Never
theless, the government plans to
train young and green filters 10
man these fast fleets of the sky.
European nations have suffered
severe casualties from such tao
ties, and American losses have
been heavier than outsiders
realize.
Moreover, the industry is pro-
crossing 80 rapidly that millions
may be wasted through undue
haste TO catch up with Hitler,
whose aerial strength has been
grossly exaggerated according to
confidential reports. Todsy's
most modern planes will be OBJ
solete tomorrow.

TUESDAY, MAY %. 1889

Although adverse aspects rule
in the morning hours of today
the planetary influences change
later. Labor is subject to
threatening omens that seem to
forecast riots or physical force.
Mars is in place that stirs

There may be sudden acts that
precipitate conflicts. Self-con-
troll should be practiced.
Under this rule of the stars
legal papers should be signed

Leaders will arise in coming
months to direct major COM
mercial as we'll as military or
naval operations. Americans are
advised to concentrate their
property and financial interests.
Taxes will continue to pile up

discussed, but the nations ex.
penses will rise rather than de-
cline. Circumstances that make
defense measures even more
costly than in previous months
are forecast.

Lewis and Clark Hole In
For the Winter
Short Retions Spoil
Christmas Celebration
Party Again Escapes
Massacre
Saesiewea Robs Prairie
Dog Caches

1T WAS after the first of No
yember. 1906, when Lewis and
Clark, coming down the Column
bia river. reached the Pacific
ocean. 1t was too late in the
season to think Of attempting
the return journey, and besides
that they needed time for ex-
plorations and observations to
form some opinion of the char
acter of the northwest country.
Coming back up the river
short distance they made prep
arations TO hole in" for the
winter. They built log house
between so and 90 feet square
which became known as Fort
Clatsop." II was more like a
rooted stoekade than a dwell
ing house. General quarters
were built along one side and
part of the other side was divid-
ed into living rooms for Lewis
and Clark In which were kept
their SCI len ii fic instruments,
records. ammunition and some
other supplies.
Next TO scarcity Of food, the
expedition had suffered from the
lack of salt. When they reached
the Pacific ocean they tried TO
provide that very necessary in
gredient by cooking their meat
and fish in salt water The fla
vor was improved but the effect
on the digestion was bad. For
several days half the members of
the expedition were seriously i'll.
Then Lewis conceived the
idea of obtaining salt by
evaporation. 1t was a slow
process but by the time win
ter set In they had nine
bushels OF salt in storage.
Time passed quickly building
the shelter and gathering roots
under the direction of SAGA
Jawea, and before they knew IL
Christmas had arrived. The men
celebrated by an exchange of
such articles as they had. SAGA
jawea. who had by some means
learned the significance of the
day, made moccssins which she
presented with great deal Of
ceremony TO Lewis and Clark.
The day opened happily
hut was completely spoiled
by the lack of preparation
for a Christmas dinner. En-
gagged In other activities,
there had been very little
hunting and the supply OF
fresh provisions that day
WAS limited to n little meat
from \ tough old elk and
some fish that was close to
the spelling point.
New Years day. 1906, was
little more pleasant but the food
was still far from satisfactory.
On that day Lewis wrote that he
hoped to celebrate the next New
Year at home with his friends.

thought was very peculiar be
cause there was very little snow

A MENACE TO
DEMOCRACY

Editor, The Times: At no 9TH
er time in the history OF Amer
lea has anti-Semitism been so
widespread as 1t is today. Ac-
cording to the Jan. LIST bulletin
Of the Institute for Propaganda
Analysis, there are 500 pro-
fascist and anu-Semitic organ
izations operating in the U, S.
1t is estimated that one out of
every three American voters is
reached with one form of anti
Semistic propaganda or another.
Discrimination against Jew
ish workers and professionals is
increasing from month to month.
Jewish shopkeepers are feeling
the effect of national sticker
and leaflet campaign urging
Christians to boycott Jews.
Cleverly planned propaganda
is being spread among the Sec
lions Of our population-Catho-
lies, German, Italian, Czecho-
slovaks. Hungarians and Slav
national groups, the unemployed,
industrial workers, farmers, pro-
fessionals and business men.
The great quantity OF anti
Semitic activity, however, does
not represent the greatest
threat. The organic relation
ship between anti-Semitism and
every anti-democratic movement
in the U. s., the intimate con-
nection between jew batting and
labor batting, between the anti
Jew campaign and the antiNew
Deal offensive constitute a ma
jor menace not only to the Jews
but to American democracy as
a whole.
Without definite and con-
certed organization, anti-Semit-
ism would never assume the
form of legislation and organ
lied attacks against the whole
Jewish people as in Germany,
Italy, Hungary and other fascist
and semi-fascist countries. The
Jews were blamed for the peo-
pies misery in order to confuse

FIRST DEFENSE or
NATIONS Is ECONOMIC

Editor, The Times: After the
fall Of Barcelona, the Com
munist parties Of the United
States, France. Great Britain.
Canada, Mexico, Belgium and
many other countries sent out
the following appeal in demo-
cratic unison:
Boycott the goods Of Hitler's
Germany, Italy and Japan. Not
ton of coal, not cask Of mo-
tor-ol to the invasion armies or
the traitor, Franco. Manifesto
OF the Communist party.
Coinciding with this flaming
appeal" was the following item
in the Fascist organ, Giornsle
dItalia:
Through the new treaty. the
commercial exchange between
Russia and Italy will increase
from 400 to 1000 million Of liras.
The imported Russian goods will
be paid for in barred liras,"
which the Soviet Union will use
to pay for their purchases in
Italy. Among the goods which
Italy will import from the Soviet
Union are: Oil, mangan, coal,
wheat, barley and wood"
This will seem inconsistent
until it is remembered that every
Communist pledges that 1.-THE de-
tense of the Soviet Union shall
be paramount" And every sound
realist must be aware that the
first defense OF any nation lies
in protection of its economic in
terests, even to the extent of
eliminating competition.

URGES TACOMANS TO
SHOW APPRECIATION

Editor. The Times: Have you
ever given a performance or a
speech before a large unappre-
ciative audience If you have,
you probably know how one
feels. Tacoma has some Of the
most unappreciative audiences
and spectators that l have ever
seen.
Last Fourth of July men kept
their hats on when the flag
went by; they sat dumb-founded
when the Star-Spangled Banner
was being played. Probably,
they will show the same spirit
at our Jubilee celebration this
year.
The other day speaker at
a certain club meeting gave
remarkable talk, but the listen
ers didn't even take time TO
applaud. They left their seats
as II the building were on fire.
No wonder Tacoma is being left
out OF every worthwhile enter
prise. The City of Destiny sure
ly has no future if the people
are as dead as their actions
indicate.
One day clapped when the
army and navy were parading.
The people around me looked at
me as If l were insane. The
same thing happened when
applsuded at a movie. What is
the matter with you Tacomans
Are your hands so stiff that
you can't bestow just small
degree of appreciation?

and much rain, passed and in the
spring the expedition made
preparations to return. Going
up the river the party stopped
at an Indian village near Walla
Walla and divided. Clark was
to make some explorations in
land in one direction while
Lewis proceeded in another
direction.
Lewis had been away from
camp only about an hour when
SacaJawea discovered a plot to
kill the members of the expedi-
ton for punishment admins
tered to one OF the Indians for
stealing blanket. Temptation
had purposely been put before
the Indian by Charboneau, quite
evidently for the purpose OF
making trouble.
When the Indian WAS dis
covered with the blanket
Clark gave him good
switching. That night the
Indians determined on the
massacre. They figured that
II would be easy to dispose
of Clark and his few men.
then start after Lewis and
finish the rest OF the party.
When Sacajawea discovered
the plot she took pony and
started after Lewis. When her
purpose was discovered an In
dian started after her on
faster horse. just before he
caught up with her, Sscajawea
reached the crest of hill
beyond which the Lewis party
had stopped. She signaled that
Long Knife was in danger
and that they should all return
quickly and fight. Knowing by
experience that Sacajawes was
never alarmed unless there WAS
real danger. Lewis hurried back
in time to save Clark and the
other members OF the expedition.
That was the second time the
Indian woman had saved the ex-
petition from massacre. How
many times she saved them from
starvation can only be conjec-
tured. That became so common
an occurrence that ii was taken
for granted.
When the men, supposed
to be more resourceful than
women. were unable TO find
food, IL WAS SAGA jawea who
would 20 into the woods
and come back with a guam
tity of edible roots, some of
which were cooked and 9TH
ers eaten raw. On one des-
perate occasion when she
could find nothing else,
Sscsjswea dug into prairie
dog holes and robbed them
of the stores they had put
away for winter.
When the expedition arrived
home a great fuss was MADE
over Lewis and Clark but MOTH
ing was said about the Indian
woman who had made their re-
turn possible. She was forgot
ten for many years. Bit by bit
stories Of her experiences with
the expedition were picked up
by trappers and adventures.
Indian tradition preserved some
information that was handed
down from generation to genera
ton. These. with references in
the journal Of Lewis and Clark. j..
were pieced together to make
