From HFriday", Nay H.:

The United States paid $1l ,ooo, 900 for war in
1917. Today it is estimated that American entry in
to the would cost the people twenty billion
dollars year. The total cost of the Last European
War "to make the world safe for democracy"was
nearly $50 billion dollars. The Foreign Policy
Association has estimated that the used in the
last could have done all these things had it
been used for peaceful purposes:
Five acres Of Land and 80, 800 house for every
family in the United States, Great Britain France,
Germany, Russia and Australia.
SO, oOo, 900 university in every city in all
these countries with population of 100000

5000. 900 scientific laboratory for the same
cities.
lifelong salary of 1880 year for 50, 900
teachers.
lifelong salary of 800 for $4,000 nurses.

Letters to editor
ROOSEVELT CRITICISM

TO the Editor:
If government would take as much interest in
people as it does in European quarre1s, it
would be taking the surest course to keep America
out of As it is, vast army of unemployed
youth future ahead of them, and even war to
fight attractive to them than the deca-
dent, useless Lives they now lead.
And it quite obvious to me that Roosevelt
certainly does not have the peoples interest at
heart when he asks for such tremendous armament
preparation. He is only working hand in hand with
Dponts, stettiniuses and Hoovers for whom Americas
participation wi IL huge profits. And with men
of this sort in positions to dictate to our President
and Congress, it readily be seen that labor's
rights and civil liberties can be easily stif1ed.
say again, devote our money and energy to So
cial legislation and people in need. No
has anything to gain from except munttion lords
and those with interests to be protected in Europe
The people have everything to lose.

Using Same StiIetto,
Senator johnson
Replies 10 Roosevelt
Not Yes Man, California
Republican Declares;
Will Stand on Record
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Senator johnson of California, a
Republican, asserted today that
President Roosevelt had used ''the
same old stiletto" in declaring yes
terday that Senator johnson could
not be considered Liberal or Pro-
gressive Democrat.
"a reporter at the Presidents
press conference yesterday said
that Senator johnson, who sup
ported Mr.. Roosevelt in 1882. was
a candidate for denomination on
the Republican, Democratic and
Progressive tickets. He asked the
President for comment. Mr..
Roosevelt replied that he did not
think any one could consider
Senator johnson a Liberal or
Progressive Democrat in l940.)
Others on Both Tickets.
Senator johnson made this formal
comment:
Mr.. Roosevelt's carefully planned
and affectionate CD attack is no
surprise, but in fairness he should
have stated that all the candidates
for United States Senator, and there
are five of them, under the Cali
fornia law, as they have the right
to do, are running on both the
Republican and Democratic tickets
My real acquaintance with Mr..
Roosevelt began when I fought for
him In 1882. Had l followed him
in his attempted packing of the Su-
preme Court and his veiled and un-
American deeds leading us down the
road to war and dictatorship l
would have been a perfect liberal
and progressive, and what glory
would be mine!
Not a "Yes" Man.
MY record of 80 years Is open for
every one to read 1t is my treas
ure. No man, however exalted his
position, shall. with impunity, at
tack it.
The people of the State of Cali
fornia would not highly regard me.
and would be without self respect
were 1 mere Yes man. 1 never
nave been and I never will be.
/ make no issue with the Presi-
dent upon matters of opinion, but ]
insist on matters of fact that the
record shall be kept straight.
This is just the same old purge :
the same old sham expressions of
regard and affection, the same old
stiletto."

u. S. Officials Mourn
For Former Associate

ing terms his work in developing

Fred Howe was grand human
being, fearless fighter and a very
dear friend. AS a successor of his
in this Office, have always had the
encouragement of his advice and
support. His going is a very real
loss to all of us here who worked
with him"
John R. Fleming of the Bureau

personal associate of Mr.. Howe for
several years, praised Mr.. Howe's
efforts as consumer counsel as a
brilliant job" despite almost un-
surmountable odds" accompanying
one of the most difficult tasks ever
undertaken in the department.
Referring to the Office of con-
sumner counsel as a radical idea"
to begin with due to its afflliation
with an agency normally producer
minded only" Mr.. Fleming said the
former counsel fought well, at
times alone. to coordinate a con-
f1ict of interests and was extremely
successful in his endeavors."
Secretary Wallace, personal
friends of Mr.. Howe, was out of the
