Elm Kampf
Hltler's .Mein Kampf' has startled
the world. In it he sets forth his dreams
of a new world order wherein the Ger
manic peoples will be the regnant peo-
pies of the world. AS social prophet
Hitler made certain predictions which il
fulfilled will fill the world with great
woes. Step by step Hitsr moves towards
the consummation predicted in his Mein
kampf and step by step the world moves
nearer to the Drinks Of destruction.
Hitlerism is proving a scourge to the
smaller nations Of the earth an a threat
to the mighty ones The very foundation
OF Britain's mighty empire IS trembling
and our own United States Of America
is being weighed IN the balances Of time
and woe unto lis If we are found wanting
The most pressing matter before this ma
tlon today is to snap out OF an indiiTeg-
ence and lethargy and money grabbing
and realize that "EIN KAMP" lies be-
fore US.
Only our supremest efforts will save
our great and mighty nationl Our so-
latlonists and pacifists have sung their
siren songs of peace until the hour Of our
doom is nigh at hand. The holding-ou
power Of the British may save us; but it
will be merely by the proverbial hair
breadth With Nazi-inspired strikes
brooding here and there in the defense
industries and with the Nazi-filled indus
tries being crippled in hundred ways,
Uncle Sam needs to take some positive
and summary measures if We are going
to come through with our national hide
intact.
The question in my mind is how long
before Uncle Sam will realize that FOR
every Maxi in industry there are ten Ne
groes who can be trusted without fears
or qualms? How long will this country
let race prejudice stand between them
and that internal security that is more
and more a pressing problem? How long
will the Negroes true and tried patriot
ism be rewarded with a scant recogni-
ton, while foreign traitors threaten de-
struction to a country that takes them to
its bosom? How long before dear Uncle
Sam will see the futility and danger of

ing called upon to assist in rid
ding their labor unions OF those
who are attempting to injure the
defense program and destroy this
nation through sabotage and sub
versive efforts. Undoubtedly new
laws will soon be passed to deal
harshly and promptly with those
who are using the labor move

tacks during the present crisis.

The Dies Committee last week
made partial report on it's
investigation of un-American ac-
tivities in connection with the
National Defense Program. Much
of the material obtained has not
yet been made public, but some
of the evidence that has been
submitted to the Members OF
Congress is Of such an astound-
ing nature as to make most APP
parent the need for continuing
and making more thorough the
investigation of the activities of
alien and subversiye groups with
in our boundaries. That the
United states must tighten up on
the supervision and regulation of
radicals and aliens cannot be de-
MED. Incidentally more than three
million of the estimated three
million six hundred thousand
aliens now within the United
States have bee registered and
finger printed under the new
Alien Registration Act. The reg
istration period is scheduled to
close December 26th.

strategic location Of Springfield,
as well as the community spirit

1t is known in Washington that
England is not nearly as close
to the end Of her financial resourc-

Great Britain still has many hun
dreds of millions of dbllars IN
gold on deposit in the United
States. Her nationals also own
several billions Of dollars worth
of gilt-edge stocks and securities,
which can easily be converted in
to purchasing power. When, and
if, the time comes that Great
Britain's financial resources are
exhausted there are those in
Congress who believe that in
stead Of making loans to her, the
United States should purchase
outright for cash such strategic
and necessary islands for defense
as Bermuda, some Of the British
West Indies, and a few small is
lands off the coast of Canada.

collection $9,454,69O in 1910
public utility excise taxes--an in
crease of approximately $780,

The increase is attributed to i'm

In the first ten months of
1910, the State Highway Dept.
awarded contracts for 271 road

$4,000, 900 in excess of the total
awards made in the first ten
months of either 1889 or 1888.
Additional contracts to be let be-

raise the 1910 total to $20,O00,-
