RALLY
 MONDAY NIGHT
Committee to Keep Amer- ica Out of Foreign Wars
 Sponsors Event

A ralley will be held in the Elton Hotel Monday evening, sponsored by the Committee to Keep America Out of Foreign Wars at p. m. It is expected to attract large audience since tn reorganization which was started in this city few months ago has grown in leaps and bounds and today has branches in all prtn- cipal cities of the state.
 Units have already been organized in New York state. The local unit of the organization now numbers 2,943 members.
 The Committee to Keep America Out of Foreign Wars has for its ob- jectiveS the Defense of America First. The leaders of the group feel American should take care of Americans and not try to police the entire world. The organization is pledged to support a strong national defense and to enforce the Monroe doctrine as well as the Johnson act.
 Praise for the work of the organi- zation can be heard in all parts of the state. Facing terrific obstacles at the outset when public opinion was being molded by powerful war propaganda agencies and organiza- tions the leaders were convinced after talking with outstanding Americans thta America was being led blindly into another world war, a war which would not protect American interests, but would have millions of Americans killed in or der to try and protect Great Britain.
 The slogan of the Committee to Keep America Out of Foreign Wars is Europe for Europeans, Asia for Asiatics, American for Americans. "
 The leaders have standing chal- lenge for any war monger or in- terventioniSt to accept, challenge to debate before the public any question relating to American neu- trality. This challenge has been &C., cepted in Waterbury by three in- dividualS none of whom have been heard of since.
 The organization reported today that sentiment which two months ago was for all aid short of war has changed to Defend America First, as exemplified by such Ameri- cans as Rev. Dr. Edward Lodge Curran, Oswald Garrison Willard and Edward J. Ryan of Thomaston.
 The organization usually meets Friday evenings, but it has been voted to hold the next meeting in the Elton Hotel Monday evening at 8 o'clock. The public is invited Edward J. Ryan will act as chair man. Several spekers will be heard

Loyalty Comes First

Today the American people are
in no mood to countenance disloy-
atty of any kind-no matter where
it may be. Loyalty must be unquali-
fed from those in high places and
in low.
A short time ago one of the
nations leading newspapers inyesti.
gated the business activities of a
commercial agent of the German
government in this country. This
agent had rented local home un-
der an assumed name to negotiate
deals of all kinds with some Ameri.
can business men. Great secrecy
surrounded the transactions. Much
of what actually occurred is still
shrouded in mystery. but enough
has been disclosed to shock the
country, A few business men ap-
parently worked on the principle
that nothing counted save profits.
This is on a par with labor leaders
who would call strike to furthur
their own ends, regardless of its
effect on Our defense program.
One of the business men involv-
ed has been discharged from his
position by his company. 1t is time
for both government and industry
to work together to disclose any
other Vaccinations of this kind
that may exist. The overwhelming
ly majority of American business
men are true patriots, but there are
a few who are for sale-even as
there are small number of labor
leaders and government officials
who are for sale--and the country
must be rid of them.
For some years the government
has pursued a policy of fighting
business. 1t has attempted to de-
troy private power companies,
which are most vital to defense,
which have done much to serve the
people. andwhich have and are doing
the fines. kind OF job in meeting
the present emergency. Wouldn't it

The Railroads
And The Army

All American industry is today
working with government to expe-
dite the national defense program.
And no industry has done more
than the railroads.
The railroads military prepar'
edness' drive didn't start recently.
Instead, it started 20 years ago.
and has been intensified in the past
year. War Department officials are
authorities for the statement that
the lines have taken every copceiv-
able step to get ready for any future
demand for transportation service.
i late announcement of the
Association Of American Railroads
is case in point. The announce
ment concerns the creation OF a
Military Transportation Section Of
the Car Service Division. The duties
of the new section will be to main
tain close liaison between the
nations military forces and rail
systems. Headquarters will be main
tanned in the office of the Quarter
master General IN Washington, and
field representatives will b e
stationed at important points as
need arises. These representatives
will be vested with full authority to
act for railroads 10 all matters per-
tanning to military rail transporta-
ton.
The new section. cooperating
with the various regional passenger
associations, will work out routings
and schedules for all troop move
ments, and will gather all necessary
data regarding freight and passenger
equipment needed by the army.
That is vital Job in a country
which stretches for three thousand
miles between the oceans which bor-
der it. The efficiency OF the army is
inextricablv related to the efficiency
Of the railroads. If the railroads
failed, chaos would reign. Luckily
for the nation, there is small chance
OF the railroads failing. They are in
better shape to serve than they ever
were before, aid the lessons learned
in 1917 have been applied to the
problems of today. This is one in
dustry which is 100 per cent ready
to carry out its share of the national
defense program.
Glacier County chief., 1940-09-06

The defense program is beginning
to move at last. Big airplane con.
tracts have been placed, along with
contracts for powder, tanks and
other necessities.
1t takes time for American in
dustry to change over to war pro-
duction after decades in which our
security was never threatened. But
orce it gets going. the experts feel.
the results will be astonishing. No
other country in the world has any
where near our industrial machines,
and no other nation Is so potential
ly powerful, once it shakes off its
lethargy and gets down to the bus
mess of preparing against aggression
in dead earnest.

Building Rifle Ranges
On Pipe Creek Road

According to Ernest Staley, mas
ter councillor for the local Order
of DeMolay, the new rifle range
which has been built during the
past two weeks by that organization
will be ready for use not later than
next Sunday. 1t is located on the
Pipe creek road just north of the
city limits.
The range is open for public use
and is composed of one 50-yard
range for use with light arms and
one 200-yard range. Shooting plat
forms are being constructed and
shelters will also be erected soon.
The shooting will be directly in
to the side of hill, thus taking
away any danger of any person be-
ing shot. If every person who would
like to practice shooting would take
advantage of this facility there
would be less minor shooting acct
dents than before when they would
practice most any place. There is
space for from four to ten targets
on each range.
In speaking of the project Mr.
Staley stated that DeMolay rifle
team would soon be organized and
he hopes several other organizations
will do the same thing SO competi
tive matches may be held this sum-
mer.
