hilate, destroy and dissolve all hunger
and human misery. Now tell me who,
but great engineer, could have the
vision and power to conceive as mag.
nificent plan as that?
| No doubt his great heart bleeds
for the people of Cincinnati, Cleve-
land, Toledo and other points in this
country, who are temporarily incon-
venienced by some shortage of food
while necessary adjustments are being
made by the authorities and while
waiting the arrival of more apples,
but his (the great engineer) all en-
comprising plan must not be inter-
fered with by some minor considera-
tions such as those mentioned. After
| all, there is limit to his ability. He
can't be attending to details like pass
| ing out apples to the momentarily en-
barrassed in Ohio
so II he wants to go over to Fin
land don't hamper him with any ILL
timed opposition. Let him work out
his great plan in peace. OF course
II there should develop a shortage of
apples, few might die In Ohio and
other places where that diet has been
adopted in the United States, but the
great plan of the great engineer must
not be interfered with Remember,
in a cople of years, these Ohio folks
and others won't be hungry no
more"
The Peoples Voice, as | understand
1t, Is supposed to be non-partisan so
maybe I'd better tell you that | am
not a recognized member of the re-
publican party before l laud another
great republican. Otherwise that pet
ulant editor of yours is liable to have
to put in note.
In this same paper today, there is
front-page, two column, three line
72-point head, announcing that Tom
Dewey Is going to balance the budget
the federal budget. Reading the
story, | find that he isn't making any
rash promises about doing it instanter
as soon as he is inaugerated presi-
dent, and admits that 1t may take him
a year to do it. He didn't say
so, but of course he took into con-
sideration that balancing the federal
budget might involve some temporary
of state budgets and the
personal budgets of some thirty-five |
million people, but they could begin |
to get used to it. And in a year, |
naturally, the unbalanced personal |
budgets will be less, because there |
will be lot fewer people. A lot of |
them will have gone "where hunger |
not" and their personal |
budgets will present. no further prob
lems.
1t had to be gigantic intellect
like Tom Dewey's to discover the
crux of our economic difficulties; to
get to the bottom of the problem and
be able to tell us what to do in just
'our words-"just balance the budget"
There you see the difference between
Tom Dewey and other alleged aspir-
ants to the office of president. Here,
Vandenberg, Borah, Garner, MISTER
not Boob, Mr. Editor McNutt, your
'wn Senator Wheeler Taft, and all
he others have been talking and talk
ng and saying nothing particularly :
haven't clarified the diff
ulty. 1t took the brains of this young
nalyst to properly pin the tail on the II
onkey as 1t were. Just in four wordsl
;ollossall
He very modestly stated that other t
epublicans might be considered /
hough, of course tacitly, he left the {
that he could do the job t
little better; and who is there to | /
ispute him? He did state. that no g
emocrat could balance the budget, or !
lords to that effect. And that's 4
peaking the truth in plain words, at g
hat Hooray for the Giant Killer t
'ewey! If
Now in closing this Sabbath dis t
curse, | want to tell you briefly, very d
riefly, that Pm sure I've discovered t.
le reason for the mounting war fever t
| this country. 1t isn't the Jews that Ii
re to blame; it's the Irish They "
ever could recognize a private fight; o
ave to mix in all the time. h
Let's deport 'em. d
