.ment about a neWSpaperman, he knows Democracy Is working at its very best. Your newSboy is not alarmed about being called an alarmist. But he is alarmed that you may lose the right to call him anything you please. This reporter will continue to warn you that not every voice raised in warning be- longs to an hysteric. At midnight Paul Revere. was a wild alarmist disturbing a peaceful New England countryside. At daybreak he was the. American who made his beloved country's resistance possible.
 No nation ever lost its life by false alarm of attack, but Europe, in our time, lost its liberty by the false alarm of security. The fateS of the lost nations prove that those who won't face the facts at first, will never be able to face the enemy at the last. The first military asset of 8 criminal ruler, who wants war, is the knowledge that all good men want peace. The dictators have pro- claimed anew-the jungle law of old that those who prowl by night are the natural masters of those who must work by day.
 The Western Hemisphere is tn- cluded in their plans for world en- slavement. We Americans must be the most alert because we Ameri- cans have the most to lose And so this AlarmiSt warns you again that because every treaty they make is a lie-every threat that they make is not an idle boast In the meantime, this reporter well comes the continued venomouS at- tack of the Nazi press. It proves again that it is the strategy of a dictator to fight those Who Sound the Alarm-until the people are too alarmed to fight.
