"Kick Mel" - American Exporters

The fellow who goes around an April Fools Day with sign pinned to his coat tail reading, ''Kick Mel" is simply an innocent victim. When he finds out about it, he removes the sign. We hope American exporters to Mexico and Gen. tral and South America will prove equally smart when they fully realize the extent to which they have been inviting the same kind of treatment - and providing a nice heavy shoe for the kicker, to boot. Recent scanning of American trade 1n Mexico shows that American exporters are actually helping to pay the bill for Nazi penetration in that country.
 Like this: An American firm wishing to sell in Mexico turns to well-estab- liShed firm as distributor. It does not realize it, but that firm is German, run perhaps by naturalized Germans nain- taining that curious dual citizenship which is one of the current German con- tributions to honesty and candor. The more American goods sold by the Ger man jobber, the more commissions he has to contribute to Nazi work in Mexico and if he is remotely German, he con- tributes; the GeStapo or the consul see to that.
 Further, advertising money spent in such countries by American firms is often dcled out through German-controlled advertising firms or managers, who see to it that only papers favorable to the Axis receive the money, while papers de- voted to freedom starve for lack of ad- vertising. Since this loop-hole in Amer1- can export policy was revealed as applied to Mexico, it has cropped up in Bolivia and other countries, so it is fair to as- Sune that it is general practice in the countries to the south.
 There is no good reason why German firms in those countries should not favor with their advertising such papers as are favorable to them, and no reason why they should not kick back to the Nazi organization profits made from the sale of Nazi goods. But it goes against the grain to see commissions paid on the sale of American goods used by Nazi agents to undercut the increasing goodwill to- ward the United States, and to see Amer ican advertising appropriations shunted by Nazi agents into Axis-favoring papers while papers devoted to democracy starve. American business is not silly. As soon as it clearly sees the "Kick Mel" sign it has been wearing when it travels south, it is pretty sure to tear it off and see to it that if there is any kicking done it is wearing good stout shoes itself.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-07
The Melting Pot Still Melts

On certain days in almost every federal court a big batch of foreigners take the oath of allegiance to the United States, thus becoming full-fledged citi- zens of the land. There are names like Andryjan, Blazekovich, Bindofer, Schmidt, Van Dusen, Csaszar, Greenstein, Jejol, Kvasznitska, Mooney, Tsopanis, Chrisan- toupolos, suggesting many sections ot Europe.
 To these people America has been home for five years = perhaps more Now they know America. They have, perhaps, lost some of their illusions. But to them even an America forced to have peacetime conscription, to enact high taxes, to fight unemployment and depres- sion in certain lines of industry = even this America still looked to them like the last, best hope in the entire world.
 Addressing them, kindly, old federal judge speaks these wise words: "Amerl- ca truly welcomes you. This country s superiority depends upon the services of it's servants It is another way of affirm ing that the melting pot still melts.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-07
"The Stifest Resistance"

American newspapers have come in for a good deal of criticism in recent months, much of it based on the thesis that they failed to eSpouse the most pop ular side politically. This has been dis cussed at great length, pro and con, we think profitably. It is, then, a pleasure to record an unconscious bouquet for the American press, attributed by the Dies Committee to Dr. Manfred Zapp, head of Transocean News Service, the German service offered widely throughout the country at advantageous rates.
 He offered it, Dr. Zapp is represented as reporting, "only to meet with the stiff fest resistance everywhere" American newspaper and press asSociations, he found, prefer to 1ather their own news from abroad Nobody will claim that American news coverage of the war in Europe is perfect. It could not be, in view of chaotic conditions and rigid cen sorships But it is the best in the world, and the American press has every right to be proud of it's work in this connec- tion, and especially that of news corre- spondents who choose to risk their lives daily rather than to accept foreign re- ports which would present easier but less impartial coVeTage.

pie so that the children could play in her yard. Then came years of sickness, but when she reached wom- anhood, she was sufficiently restored to begin thinking about her life work
 In 1889 she founded nj Chicago her famous social settlement, Hull house. It became the center of wholesome life in a section of the city where life had decayed under the blight of poverty. Jane Addams and Ellen Starr went down into that district to share their lives with people who were in need, hoping that by living among them they might learn what the need really was and so help out. Her career of helpfulness made her distinguished throughout the world. She was later honored with the Nobel Prize for her efforts in behalf of peace.
 As a girl she had seen a vision and made a promise to herself and to humanity. She literally followed the example of her Lord Who, though He was rich. yet for our sakes be- came poor. that we through His poverty might be rich.
