France is a pitiable example of a
country whose leaders Listened to
Hitler and failed to defend them
selves against him. France will find
out to her sorrow that she has sold
her birthright of freedom for a
mess of Nazi pottage. It is we'll to
stop and think that there are today
in this country those who would sell
this country to Hitler. They are
building their organization and
spreading their lies and poison thru
the land. The incredible thing about
it is that we should think that free
speech and free assembly extends
to such, the right to exist in this
country. There is point at which
tolerance becomes a vicious weak
ness. The American Legion is the
only group in this country that
courageously and openly takes a
stand against these enemies of lib
erty and traitors of Democracy. May
it be, that we, like France, will not
wake up too late, and find our
country betrayed and our patriotism
emasculated.

Those who follow that sort OF
thing say that Hitler is believer in
astrology and consults astrologerS.
According to these astrologers Hit
ler's power began to wane on Fri
day, July 10. Let us hope the wish
is not the father of the thought.
In the event of war in any part
of the world the men and women all
over America are asked to unite in
a program to supply food and cloth
ing and to sew and knit garments
for destitute refugees. At the same
time Congress is called upon to vote
billions for armament and pre-
paredneSs. We find ourselves Won
dering, in the face of these facts,
what basis there is for the conten-
ton that is it none of our business
if there is a war in Europe or else
where. In our opinion the facts
very definitely belle the statement.

WHO'S GOING TO
SACRIFICE WHAT?

The American people, driven by
the need for military security, must
build a military establishment cost
~ beyond all precedents. An incred-
ible proportion of the national in
come must be taken from the
pockets of the people and diverted
to government All of us will have
fewer luxuries. All of us must con-
serve. All of us must sacrifice.
That is clear enough and reason
able enough. But it has become
tragically plain that a very sub
stantial portion of the American
people have the idea that the other
fellow should make most, if not all
of the sacrifices. It's the other fell
lows standard of living which
should, not their own. It's the other
fellow vino should pay the bill and
do the work, while they 60 on much
as they did before.
Certain inflential segments of la
Dor, for instance, demand still high
er pay, shorter hours, excessive ex-
ira pay for overtime, and other
special privileges and prerogatives
for the workman, despite the fact
that pay is now the highest and the
work-week the shortest in history.
Their argument is that industry
must sacrifice more of it's profits in
the interests of labor, while the
worker grows fat off the national
emergency.
"A certain segment of industry
follows a similar course. Even as it
makes profits of an unusual size, it
works to reduce the share that goes
to labor, and it works to get more
bounty for itself out of government
in one way or another. It too be-
lieves in sacrifice-so long as the
other fellow does it.
Those who have gone on govern
ment relief as a career favor sacri-
flee, too-so long as it doesn't touch
relief appropriations. The govern
ment, under the guise of "relief,"
still pays out millions for leaf-rak-
in, boondoggling and other COM
pletely productive activities.
Powerful influences demand that
not one nickel of this waste be elm
mated, no matter how much others
sacrifice to pay it, or how dire the
menace the country faces ~.
The professional politicians talk
much of sacrifice, in noble words.
But it is rare politician who is
willing to sacrifice one thin dime of
patronage that might cost a vote, to
support a principle. Money still
goes out for farm relief schemes
foredoomed to failure-for unnec-
essary tax-built and tax-subsized
government electric plants, for, gov
eminent credit schemes of all
kinds, and for a thousand and one
purposes which are in no way true
function Of government, but which

Germany recently offered to sell
Brazil certain war equipment for
$6O,OO0,0O0. The same equipment
purchased in the United States, due
to wage and hour scales and other
production restrictions, would cost
5000 900, 900. What chance would this
country have in holding South Am
erican trade in face of this type of
competition? In Germany the youth
are trained to work and when the
country wants to get a certain job
done they all cooperate to do it..
Wage and hour scales are forgotten
and a strike that interferred with
production would he put down be-
fore it got started.

According to a survey by the Am
erican Institute of Public Opinion
the trend of opinion against an
amendment to the Constitution pro-
hibiting to a president third term
is growing. In 1888, 48 percent fav-
ored such an amendment and So
opposed such an amendment. In No
vember 1889, a. percent favored
such an amendment and So percent
opposed it. A recent poll showed
that but al percent favored such an
amendment and SO percent opposed
it. Divided as to parties SO percent
of the Republicans favor such an
amendment and 81 percent oppose
it. Among the Democrats IA per-
cent favor the amendment and Sc
percent oppose it.

are prolific sources of votes and
power. The self-seeking hand of
politics handicaps a real defense
program which would get maximum
results with a minimum of waste of
time and money.
Who is going to sacrifice what?
That is the question that America
faces today, if national security is
to be a reality, not a mirage. The
answer is plain. All must sacrifice,
all must contribute their full share.
The other fellow isn't going to do
it for us. Selfish instrests now at
play in America, whether they be in
labor, industry, or government, are
the real fifth-columnistS within our
gates.

answer this COL Frederic william Vile
umn went to one of Washington's
brilliant young newspapermen, Blair
Moody of the Detroit News, who has
known Murphy throughout the
Michigander's meteoric career.
Moody says the thing that un-
doubtedly grapples Murphy and
Roosevelt to each others soul with
hoops of steel is their mutual and
militant humanitarianism. This
means, of course, that the Attor-
ney General and former Governor
is 1000 per cent New Dealer From
the outset of their acquaintance
Roosevelt has found Murphy lit
orally. spiritually. and politically a
man after his own heart. The Pres
ident, too, has come to know and
appreciate the exalted and almost
unique sense of duty which inspires
his friend in connection with pub
lie service. AS Mayor of Detroit,
Governor of Michigan and Attor-
ney General of the United States
it has distinguished Murphy's activ-
tiles day in and day out.
Another Justice Holmes?
Although his career has been de-
voted for the most part to politics
and administrative Office, Murphy
has to his credit seven years in the
Criminal Court at Detroit. There
he won reputation for admins
tering justice from the standpoint
that, even on the bench, the heart
need not cease to function. Blair
Moody describes Murphy as essen
TALLY Fighter of wrongs" My
Detroit colleague envisions the time
when the newest associate justice
may win his spurs at the Supreme
Court as the acknowledged heir to
the traditions and legal philosophy
of Oliver Wendell Holmes.
None of these considerations or
horoscopes obliterates the fact that
Murphy's prediction is for the less
cloistered public life and for the op-
portunities associated with an Office
like the governorship of a great
State. His cronies would not be at
all amazed If some day Frank
Murphy elected to step down from
the high judicial estate to which
he's .iust been elevated and sought
again to serve his home people in
a more directly representative ca
pacity. The late Justice Cardozo
once lamented to this observer that,
highly as he esteemed the ermine

Mr.. Gannett's assertion that the

false, misleading and malicious" I"
The publishing magnate's friends
deny he is conducting a campaign
for the Republican presidential
nomination, but explain that 80
many real Americans are urging him
to make the fight that he must give
it consideration" Although Mr..
Gannett recently returned from an
extensive cross-country speaking
trip, he says he has not yet decided
to become candidate, and that If
fellow New York up-Staters are
boosting him they are doing so of
their own accord, without any stim-
ulatlon from him. They are said to
be avoWedly anti-Dewey, without re-
spect to Gannett's possible entry
