wonder whether the Wright

dreamed of the part it was des-

and 1941.
Are we not all mixed up in
our thinking? Are we not fac

Announcements JeOpardized.
Editor ASkov American:


During times of stress and war
many of the advancements of the
common people are jeopardized, often
by their own negligence and lack of
judgment. For instance the malicious
acts of many planted false labor
leaders may seriously jeopardize the
labor movement.
The plan of those who are against
the improvements of the past eight
years is to try and divide the people
in three groups, organized labor, the
farmers and the veterans. If they can
get these three groups fighting each
other-they have won the war.
The logical group to tackle at the
present time is labor, as they are the
most prosperous in comparison-due
to increased employment and good
wages in the defense industry. This
prosperity will end as soon as the
emergency is over. Then the farmers
will be next-low prices will ruin
them again unless drastic steps are
taken to prevent it. The veterans
as such will come last but they will
not be entirely exempt from those
who sling mud, judging by exper-
fences.
Now of course the laborers, farmers
and veterans are all one, coming from
the same families and classes and
their interests are identical, but, still
through constant and clever propa-
ganda, they can be divided and
through envy and malice they will
fight each other so that the economic
royalists can keep all three in desti-
tuition or on the verge of restitution
no matter how much is produced.
1t is most unfortunate at the present
time that the liberals throughout the
country generally have lost face and
power. The liberal movement which
sprang up in the early thirties has
generally been replaced by the con-
servatives. The conservatives general
ly are more interested in the here
after than the present. Soldiers and
others when told about the wonder
full gifted future sometimes are in
clined to ask-"When do de eat?"

GPU or Gestapo. Do the letters alone
make him see Hitler behind the mask?
The bill creating this body is sweetly
phrased, as most New Deal measures
have been. It also is somewhat silly
in its statements of purposes.
One is to keep the President cur
rently informed of the opinions, de-
sires, and complaints of citizens. The
administration in Washington is pay
ing as little attention now as posi-
BILE to the opinions and desires of
the American people. A central clear
ing house is not needed nor it is in
tended to transmit complaints and re-
ceive advice or information. Advice
information and complaints are un-
wanted and unheeded.
Nothing in the stated purpose of
the bill would justify its being con-
sidered in congress, and yet Mr.. Nor
riS is right when he sees the germ that
will blossom out into an ugly and
dangerous department of government,
But that germ has been in the very
essence of the form of government
he has supported. It has been carried
through all the radical legislation
to which Congress has submitted. This
new agency can be made into an in
strument of dictatorial power when
ever Mr.. Roosevelt declares an en-
Urgency to exist, and if it were not
the intent thus to use it, there would
MT have been any purpose in Great
ing the nicely dressed up servant of
executive authority.
OGR probably will start out as a
high pressure salesman of war propa-
ganda seeking to promote the idea
that differences of opinion on do
nestle and international policy are
seditious and that any opposition to
Mr.. Roosevelt at any turn of the road,
wherever he is going, is un-American

THE FARMER AND THE DRAFT


It becomes increasingly plain that
there is much more to the efficient
administration of the selective SER
vice law than drawing registration
numbers out of a fish bowl The
aquarium episode had it's elements of
human interest, but it did not con-
tribute great deal to a solution of
such problems as that presented by
occupational deferments.
One facet of that problem is farm
labor. There is a growing chorus of
complaints from many agricultural
areas that the farm worker is being
drafted into the army at time when
he is badly needed at home. On one
hand the government presses its
food for defense" program and on
the other it conscripts the worker
who is engaged in producing food
for defense.
If this is a fair statement of what
is happening, then in justice to every
one concerned, some modification of
policy is dictated. The farmer is a
patriot but he is not a magician, and
we can hardly expect him to plant
and harvest crops with workers who
are presenting arms at Camp Clai-
borne or peeling spuds in California

THE GERM OF UGLY
GOVERNMENT.
Chicago Daily Tribune)

Senator George Norris of Nebraska
said of the bill establishing the Of
flee of Government Reports that its
Hitlerian potentialities made him
shudder. ct has inside of it, in its
very makeup, the germ that will bios
som out into an ugly and dangerous
department of government. It will
grow in magnitude and evil as time
goes on"
Mr.. Norris is doing his shudder-
ing too late. If his tremors had come
over him five or six years ago, he
would not have been a partici-
pant in everything leading up to what
he says contains the image of Herr
Hitler. He and the other legislators
who have absconded from the prici-
piles of the American republic and
adopted the subversive New Deal as
the ideal for the makeover of the
American form of government are not
the ones to look with horror on a
natural creature of their own system.
The Office of Government Reports
will be known in our national al
phabetical nightmare as OGR. Possib-
ly Mr.. Norris is startled by something
that happens to sound and look like
