TO THE EDITOR:

TO THE EDITOR:
I EFT me say to those who are trying in every
II way to turn the people against our Presi.
dent and who are trying to slow down the
defense program:
You are doing just what Hitler the traitor
wants you to do. You are showing that you
are not for the American form of government
and democracy, and if the time ever comes
that we lose our liberty and freedom it will
be on account of the un-American editorials
published in some of our papers and the
un-American letters allowed to be published
in some of our papers. which letters are
disgrace to the editorial page of any news
paper.
- And to those who criticzing our Presl-
dent in a destructive manner, let me say
Franklin Delano Roosevelt is one of the great
est presidents that has ever sat in the presi-
Dental chair since the days Of Lincoln, and
he has more brains stored in one corner of
his head and more true Americanism in the
tip of his little finger than all his critics have
in their heads put together
No one can sympathize with Hitler and
his allies and be true Americans.

sional helmsmen who are trying
to ride out the storm over the
blank check leaSe-lend bill seem
less excited than any one else.
One or two have been found
indulging themselves in smiles
on the side.
The official inside story is
that Mr.. Roosevelt was not very
anxious to seek all this power
and draw down the old suS-
picions on his head again just at
this time.
But Speaker Rayburn, Senator
Pat Harrison and some OF the
other congressional leaders adj

that the measure be loaded up
with every conceivable authority.
The idea was TO draw the attack
in upon that side issue and save
the real queStion-the validity
of unlimited aid--from bitter
controversy.
IN one semifinal draft of the
bill there was even included
authority for American battle
ships to convoy merchantmen to
England. This seemed a little
too much. however. and was
stricken out before the bill was
presented.
The trick of asking for more
than you expect to get has been
worked before on Congress by
the New Deal manipulators. It
means now that they are pre-
pairing gladly for several reStric-
tive amendments certainly in

including a requirement that the
British display some convincing
evidence of their promise to
