REAPING THE HARVEST

The time when it is still safe for the
New Deal Administration to dodge
realities has long since passed.
For eight long years the Admins
tration has been postponing one diff
ficult domestic situation after an
other. Always the solution" has been
the eXpedient-borrow money and buy
a way out.
The same attempt has been made in
our necessarily gigantic defense eff
fort. Too long the Administration
thinking has. been tinged with the
great New Deal fallacy that huge
money appropriation will do the trick.
No comprehensive plan was made.
The idea seemed to be "spend the
money and let the consequences take
care Of themselves" Now the Admin
istration is reaping the bitter fruit
of its thoughtlessness. Suddenly it
has walked up to the knowledge that
millions of men working in small in
dustries face disaster from a nea and
implanted depression-"priorities I'M
employment"
Hurried attempts are being made to
avoid the calamity, but in the back
ground the whisper ait cannot be
avoided" is always heard. Maybe now
it is true that the pound of cure will
not accomplish what an ounce of real
istic thinking and planning would
have. Maybe the people will accept the
doctrine that the dislocation of small
business, the backbone Of our economy,
was inevitable
But somehow, we think the blame
wAl be placed where it belongs
squarely on the shoulders of the Ad-
ministration which admittedly did not
''plan it that way" but did not plan
at all.

JAMES A. FARLEY SAYS

1t is vital to the democratic form of
government that now, more than ever
before, the established political par
ties should fulfill their obligations, the
formulation of policies and the enlist
ment of public opinion in their support.
If the dominant political parties alb
dictate their functions in a great emer-
gency, the only alternative is the ex-
ercise Of political power by irrespon-
sible groups-and we already have
too much of that.
The genius of our representative
democracy is the two-party system
one party intrusted with power to
carry out the will of the majority; the
other, vigilant in criticism, but always
loyel in opposition, always loyal to the
fundamental principles of the repub-
lie. The alternative to the two-party
system is a tumble of special interest
groups, who even in coalition are in
disagreement, and in crisis are too
disunited to act. To thus weaken our
political system would be to destroy
the very basis of our democratic gov
eminent.

master General and Chairman of
the Democratic National Com
mittee.

LET'S WORK FOR AMERICA!

Without knowing it, countless
Americans are serving the foreign en-
emies Of this country. Every time you
or | raise a hand or speak a word to
turn class against class, every time
we fan a hatred, slow down produc-
ton, waste a penny of materials or
time-every time we do any of these
we are firing a shot into the heart of
America. go.
And let those who think they can
"get theirs" by insisting on their
rights even when that interferes with
the greater rights of the Nation-let
them remember this. Duped by for
eign agents whether they know it or
not, they are softening this country
for conquest-they are selling their
birthright of freedom for the most
miserable mess of pottage and pow
erty anyone can imagine Ask the bel
ligerent workmen, politicians, man
ayers of France who demanded their
"rights" above their country's rights.
Their reward is serfdom, hopeless
despair, and starvation. =.
Let's work for America When and
only when the Nation which gives us
work and liberty is safe, then will be
time to think of ourselves.-From an
advertisement by the Warner &
Swasey Company, Cleveland.

President Thanks
Infantile Paralysis
Chairmen

President Roosevelt, elated over
the new high record achieved in the
1941 Infantile Paralysis campalgn
has sent latter of thanks TO the
nearly $4,000 chairmen who toos
part In the drive.
Just week ago at the
White House, the President received
from Keith Morgan, National Chair
man of the Committee for the Ceie-
bration of the Presidents Birthday,
and Basil O'Conor, President of the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, the campaign report and
audit showing that a net total OF
S2.1O4,46O.53 was Iraised-exceed-
ing all former records by 49.5 per
cent.
The President, in the letter, said
he believed the magnificent results
of the campaign were due to three
things:
1. The "tireless work" of the Ma
tional Foundation for Infantile Pa
ralysis in combating the disease and
in creating Chapters throughout the
country.
2. The enthusiasm and intelli-
gent support" of the thousands OF
state. County and Local Chairmen.
3. The quick, generous support
of all citizens.
The President referred to epidem-
les Of infantile paralysis now raging
in several States in the South and
said
"You may feel somewhat comfort
ed by the fact that through the Ma
tional Foundation, competent ma
chinery is now coping with this
scrouge".
In thanking thousands of cam
paign workers, the President said:
"Truly l am grateful and happy
grateful that your help is carrying
on this fight and happy that you,
your family, and your friends Joined
with the National Foundation In
helping the youngsters around your
own corner in their battle for
health.
"As / said at the start of the
Birthday Celebration activities last
fall nothing is closer to my heart
than the health of our boys and
girls and young men and young
women. To me it is one of the front
lines of our national defense"
The huge mailing, which was
sent from the White House, is being
delivered to every corner OF every
State in the Union. The letters bear
processed signatures of Franklin D..
Roosevelt, since it would be physi-
cally impossible for the President to
personally sign them.

NO MAN ABLE TO JOIN
THE COUNTRIES

1.-THE Bible states clearly in the
book of Daniel that no man will
ever be able to join the countries
of the world into one great nation,
and Hitler will meet his Waterloo as

said Evangelist Robert L. Boothby
last Sunday night in his lectures at

Where Are The Dead? Are They
In Heaven? He'll? Or Purgatory?"
is the lecture topic of Evangelist
Boothby on Sunday night, August
10, at 1880 EST, in the open air
auditorium. In Mr.. Boothby's large
tabernacle in the city of Pittsburgh,
Pa, $500 people crowded the build
ing to hear him speak on this SUBJ
ject of the dead. The crowds are in
creasing at Perryville, and a ca
pacity audienRe is anticipated Sun
day night to hear this question.
Meetings are held every night Of
the week except Saturday. Mr.. Man
