Says New Deal
FlatterS DictatOrS.

Flatters Dictators.
TO the Editor Of The Star:
To dictators, things are as they say
they are-not what they seem to be or
always have been.
Some of our politicians, who evidently
believed in flattery, learned quickly TO
twist the meaning of words to cover up
their actions. New Dealers called them
selves Democrats. w. P. A, making
buns out of good American citizens, was
called social reform. Choking business
(both big and little) is still called redis-
tribution of wealth in the true demo-
cratic way. Packing the Supreme Court
was called speeding up justice for the
poor and downtrodden. The present
Neutrality Act was called keeping Amer
lea out of war. The third term Is even
spoken of as true democracy. Even
real American, whose parents happened
not to be born in this country, was
dastardly referred to as an appeaser to
the relationships, simply because he Is
American enough to call spade SPADE.
And last but not least certain OF our
political spakers, as well as some MEM
bers of our supposedly freely elected
Congress, choose to say their speeches
are non-political. Also, the speeches
made by our very loyal American Presl-
dent in the past few months, we are
told and forced to believe, are nom
political, even though in every one he
has referred to something of national
importance and our danger due to con-
ditions in Europe, and what he had
done and was doing to counteract this.
Of course, this kind Of speech Is non
political, especially in an election
year. =
Political writings and pamphlets were
next used by dictators; so, in due course
our Federal works administrator has
Just assumed full responsibility for
publication of a Government document.
Millions for Defense" saying that 1t
had no political purpose whatever and
that the sole purpose of its preparation
and publication was to give true pic
ture of the use and expenditures of re-
lief money made available to his agency
F. w. A. for the purpose of national
defense. So this was definitely nom
political, because it did not actually
come out for the preservation Of democ-
racy, or didn't even mention the third
term. This pamphlet naturally is not
charged up to any campaign fund, but
it does have to come out of the taxpay-
ers' pockets.
Unless we, by our own precious vote
fortunately we still possess that right
in November, can stop once and for all
our leaders from initiating even in the
smallest way those things every true
American should know in his heart are
against the first principle Of true democ-
racy, we cannot survive, regardless Of
present world conditions and dictators.
Stick by the spirit as well as the letter OF
the Constitution Of the United States
and democracy will still surmount all
obstacles. The quicker we clean our own
slate the safer democSecy will be for the

Calls Attention to Hitler's
Terrorism Policy.

To the Editor of The Star:
AS new to our earth as this machine
age itself is the present towering menace
of u-Nazi-Fascism, with its rule
by force and terrorism. Force and
terrorism there have been before, but
this highly organized, scientific apph-
cation of terrorism has a soulless, ma
chine-like quality about it which makes
1t q strange and fathomleSs menace.
In past ages of rule by force, all the
worlds peoples were far more rigidly
held by custom and tradition than today,
and since custom and tradition bear
within themselves certain degree of
humaneness, not even the mightiest
ruler dared practice terrorism beyond
a certain point Superstitious fear OF
vengeance from the souls Of those tor
tured has by itself tended to hold cruel
rulers back from fully inflicting all the
cruelty that was in their hearts.
Not that the Commu- Nazi-
combine has come yet to the all-time
record for cruelty. Not yet. One OF
Hitler's ruling principles is that pressure
must be applied upon subjugated peoples
by slow, steady degrees. To treat con-
quered France with barbaric. blood
thirsty cruelty right now could only
incite the British and the rest Of the
world to the most desperate resistance
to Commu- Nazi-Fascism.
The first Job for that combine is to
conquer all the earth. Then there will
be abundant time in which to tighten
the screws Of terrorism, slowly and re-
lentlessly, upon every people.
