The final sentence in their last

ferring to Rev. Jones. This was
Sa d after lengthy space had been
consumed in attempting to demerit
a man who dared to stand up for
the rights of his people, then to
make this claim to Christianity
we wonder.
We are with you Rev. Jones, we
didn't like the things that were
said against Mound Bayou either
we would have kept quiet and ig-
nosed the ugly things that were
said, but when they attempted to
uphold their accusations at your
expense-our oander is real y up
and we have blood in our eyes. Nor
do we make it known under a dis
gulsed head inc about the fire.
Come on Delta Leader, tell what
your grievance is, you can t kid US,
it wasn't the fire at all. Pull off
your dark, smoked glasses now
Mr.. Delta Leader, the fire is all
gone out and the smoke is clea ed
away and M n d Bayou will

ROME, March 21.-The anti
American campaign in Italy reached
the poster stage yesterday with the
appearance of broadsides on the
walls of Rome which coupled the

Virginio Gayda, who frequently
gets his editorial slants directly from
Premier Mussolini, wrote in II
Giornale dItalia that measures
taken in the United States against
FascistS, Nazis and Communists in
public and private jobs were signs
that President Roosevelts war
march is advancing day by day with
quickened step toward involving the
people and fortune of the United
States ever more irreparably in the
European conflict"
Let it be said here that fasces
CFaSclSt unitS) and, therefore,
Fascists no longer exist in the United
States" Gayda added.
The posters said against the
North American menace, all the
European continent has come to-
gether behind the axis and is Or
ganizing its own economic and COM
mercial life outside the United States,
whose blindness will have to be
atoned for in the future"

'An.0ut Aid Means
i. ). Is All In War;
Wheeler Asserts
Montonon Urges
Continued Fight Against
Steps Toward Involvement

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana last night called on those
who opposed passage of the British
aid bill to give continued support
In a crusade against war"
Continue the fight, not against
the bill-now a law-but against
war and against every step which
gives dictatorial powers to the Pres
ident." he urged in a radio address.
"All-out aid for England, Greece
and China means all-in war for the
United States"
Legislators who stood with Senator
Wheeler in the unsuccessful fight
against the British aid measure
said his speech was a reply to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's address last Sat-
urday in which the Chief Executive
called for total effort" to assure
total defeat" of the axis.
Cites Lack of "Opiate Phrase"
He referred directly to the Presi-
dents address several times, and at
one point said that Ito many of us,
the Presidents recent speech carried
dark foreboding for the future of
the republic
During the 1910 Presidential
campaign he said, 1T was all aid
short of war'-now it is 'all-out
effort'-and the opiate phrase
short of war is conspicuously
lacking"
Senator Wheeler said Congress
could, if it would, still refuse to
appropriate funds for Great Britain
without first obtaining Mr.. Church
ills war aims-without knowing if
the objectives are the determination
of Hitler or the annihilation of
100000 German people"
He added that Americans should
still insist that Congress carefully
scrutinize all appropriations to the
end that no tax dollars are squan-
dered."
Presidents Statement Recalled.
After asserting that most or all
proponents of the British-aid bill
agreed that the President was not
authorized to use conveys and could
not send armed forces into combat
areas, Senator Wheeler cited
statement by the President that
Dollars alone will not win this
war
Does this mean" he asked, that
if supplies are not enough troops
will be dispatched? What is meant
by the Presidents bridge of ships
across the ocean? Does this mean
conveys? Conveys manned by
American sailors who will shoot at
and be shot by German sea raiders?"
Senator Wheeler inquired also
whether Britain's Prime Minister,
Winston Churchill, would be the one
who determines to what extent our
defenses are stripped" and whether
China's Chang Kai-shek would be
given a blank check on our war
and naval supplies" or determine
whether or not we send troops to
keep open the Burma road"
What Do People Want?" He Asks.
"Is this what the American people
want?" he asked. do you want your
foreign policy directly or indirectly
dictated by European imperialist
or an Oriental military dictatOro,
