to "wait until finish answering the
question, then you may applaud OF

brought applause from the majority
of the group.
Congress Not Representative
In my opinion, the Congress was not
representative of the 100000 young
people. l think it represents a certain
group in our country and because that
is so it behooves all Of US to become
better informed All educators, | be-
lieve, should read the papers and mag
azines put out by the Communist
party. Only by knowing what they are
being taught can we combat it by pre-
senting both sides. Boys and girls, es-
pecially in the grades and high schools,
listen to and believe in their teachers.
If the facts are presented and inter-
preted, the majority of them will be-
lieve. The Communists sow seeds on
fertile ground but the ground would
not be so fertile if the young people
knew the facts.
Undoubtedly a great many of these
young people were being deliberately
misled and misinformed by an organ
lied group.
To me the hopeful signs in the Con-
gress were first, the small group who
definitely believed in our American
form of government and institutions,
and the other the group which, puz-
zled and undecided, did not know which
way to turn. A presentation of the

WITNESS ATTACKS RECENT
YOUTH CONGRESS

College Park
When | learned several weeks ago
that the American Youth Congress
was to hold its session in Washington,
l was intensely interested and looked
forward eagerly to spending as mucn
time there as possible. l attended the
sessions for three days, Friday, Satur-
day and Sunday, February 10, II and
IL.
l went there expecting to find the
majority of the Congress made up OF
fine, sane, wholesome American boys
and girls, typical of the ones | always
think of as representative of America
and also expecting to find a few radl-
Gals and perhaps some Communists. l
was bitterly disappointed and dislllu-
stoned. | had been mistaken about my
ratio. | found great many Commun-
sits and all too few young people with
faith in America as we know it and in
our democratic form of government
l spent a great deal of time getting
acquainted with individuals and every
one felt free to talk with anyone at the
session; the group at the Congress
was very informal l talked to students
from high schools from a number Of
different cities. l talked to workers
from various industries, young people
who represented many different organ
izations.
Argue Parrot Fashion
The very first day | was aware of a
strange sameness in all Of the things
the young people told me, and when
the third individual with whom | con-
versed used even the same phrases in
explaining to me why we did not have
democracy here and that the only
government which was truly demo-
cratic was government by the workers
like the one in Russia, | became sus-
picious and realized they were repeat
ing parrot-fashion arguments and
statements they had memorized OF

there l learned that these young people
read the Daily Worker assiduously and
regard it almost as their Bible. They
did not believe the New York Times
because "it is owned by capitalists
and prints only lies" "The Daily
Worker tells the absolute truth" l
found few who read even magazines
like The Nation, The New Republic,
etc. "The press in this country is pref
udiced because it is owned by capital
lists"
They defend the invasion of Fin
land in saying that Finland is a capt.
talistic country supported by Great
Britain and France who want to "form
a ring of capitalistic countries around
Russia" and "that ring must be broken
once and for ALL" They told me "Rus-
STA is not dictatorship but a true de-
mocracy." A number of them boosted
that they attended workers schools
and when asked them if they thought
Communism would work in this coun-
try now they said, mot now but give
US time and it will come later" They
are convinced that the people of Great
Britain and France are starving and
that only in Russia do the workers
have sufficient food. Also Gin Russia
there is no unemployment problem, u
everyone has a job and everyone is
happy"
The representative at the Congress

that he did not promise them both

Nor was this all. A short while later,
the President, at press conference,
used Justice Blacks opinion in the
case of the four Florida Negroes as a
reason for declaring that the news
papers ought now to apologize" to
Mr.. Black. This was an attempt to
make it appear that the newspapers
had been unjust and untruthful about
Mr.. Black and that this opinion free
ing these Negroes proved it. The Pres
ident chose completely to ignore the
facts upon which the press criticism
of MIR. Blacks appointment was based
-to-wit, first, that he was a fourth
rate Senator with nothing in his rec
ord to suggest fitness to sit on the Su-
preme Court; second, that he was
named in a fit of Presidential pique
due to the failure of the court-pack-
ing bill; third, that Mr. Black DELHI
erately concealed his membership in
the Khan and only admitted it after the
covers had been pulled off him by
newspaper.
1t was typical that after lodging re-
porters here and abroad for weeks,
when he finally replied over the radio,
the bulk of his reply was denuncia-
ton of the press. The press owes Mr..
Black no apology, and no one knows
that better than Mr.. Roosevelt-and
Mr.. Black. This game of berating the
newspapers has been practiced by pol
iticians since there was a press to be-
rate. But this is the first time it has
ever been major Administration pol
icy. 1t is tribute to the strength of
the American press that seven years
of such policy should be so COM
pletely negligible.

All this plays the game of those who
believe the system has failed and want
to substitute another which cannot be
told from a dictatorship. And, OF
course, it plays the Communist game,
too. The "capitalistic press" is the
stock Communist target. That il
should become also the fayorite target
of a President of the United States.

Mr.. Roosevelt personally leads the
way in this. A short time ago, after
the figures on public debt he gave out
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1940-02-29

The chief reason seems to be the
way in which newspapers, which, for
eight years, have consistently support
ed both the President and the New
Deal, now warn that twelve years is
more than the American people want
any President to serve and that a
third-term attempt will end in disas-
ter. There have been so many of these
as to make it clear that practically a
solid press will be against another
term. To the ardent third-termers
around Mr.. Roosevelt this seems over
whelming justification for a blanket
indictment.

1t may be shocking but should not
be surprising that there are in the
United States Government, as now ad
ministered, individuals who believe
that the economic system under which
we live has failed and that the peo-
ple will be better off if it should be
scrapped and another devised fol

Employees Leave
Now Figured to
| Third of Minute

The Federal Works Agency ap-
parently is figuring leave with q
stop-watch now, employees being
clocked down to one-third of min
ute on their absences from duty.
The super-scrutiny was barred yes
tefday when Acting ControHer Gen.
eral Elliott ruled that cash reim-
bursement to the Goyernmentswould
be required from an employe who,
the F. w. A. said. was charged with
unliquidated advanced leave of four
days, three hours, 48 1-3 minutes on
last December 81.
The regulations provide that en-
ployes who get annual leave in ad-
vance of earning it must make it
up in the same calendar year by
working time sufficient to cover the
advance or, failing to do this, must
pay for the holiday in cash, as an
nual leave in one year may not h,e
charged against that due the next.
The question arose when the en-
ploye was furloughed after receiving
advanced leave, and the F. w. A.
asked If under such circumstances
a leave offset could be allowed this
year.
The regulations promulgated by
the President permit of no excep-
tons, Mr.. Elliott said.

Susan B. Anthony's IdeoIism
To Guide New York Congress
One Of the Trinity Of
U. S. Liberotors Urged
Political Equality
By ANNE E. HENDLEY.

1t is not detracting from the men,
ory of the Father of His Country, or
of the immortal Lincoln, to name
Susan B. Anthony as one of the
trinity of American liberators. She
fought for recognition Of women, it
is true, but she battled also for the
rights of mankind
Susan B. Anthony with dauntless
courage and indomitable Will, with
vision and practical leadership,
wrung from the forces of might for
the members of her sex a place in
our Constitution as a protective
heritage of freedom and oppor-
tunity. In doing so, she likewise
bequeathed to womanhood a great
responsibility. The final decision
may ultimately rest in women's
hands as to whether this civiliza-
ton of ours will move to higher
levels or plunge into the abyss of
ruin. If the latter takes place, hu-
manity will have to start the long
march upward all over again as it
has apparently done countless times
in history.
If the men and women of America
live up to the spirit of Susan B.
Anthony we need have no fear for
the future Of our Nation. The three
celebrated patriots, whose birthdays
we are commemorating this month
were something more than mere
emancipators. They constituted a
great moral force and were veritable
dynamos of spiritual energy. The
driving power of their lives is felt
and drawn upon even to our day for
this generation is using their re-
corded beliefs to strengthen our
faith in certain fundamentals that
form the basis of our national insti-
tutions The voice of a seer was
heard when our first President said:
mo people is more bound to &C
knowledge the Invisible Hand that
shapes the affairs of men than those
of these United States"
Each Step Appears Guided.
Every step by which we have ad-
vanced to our present status of world
independence has been distinguished
by some providential token or
agency. It was this spiritual insight
that gave elevation to the feeling,
thinking and planning of Washing-
ton, Lincoln and Susan B. Anthony.
Therefore, I hold up these three
leaders, not as idols to be worshipped,
but as ideals for the imitation of
aspiring souls in this crucial hour
in our. local crusade for righteous
ness in the District of Columbia
The sardonic mockery of "Voteless
League of Women Voters" here will
not be perpetuated. The women's
organizations of America who are
f1ghtlng for political equity, have
made it clear that they will never
rest until this inconsistency is re-
moved. When that day of victory
arrives, our tribute of honor to Susan
B. Anthony will be crowned and
perfected. Let US battle with ali our
might to hasten the day!
