Fact is that the anti-labor bloc on

tie things up in order to arouse the

HAFFNER'S BOOK
SHOWS INSIDE
OF GERMANY
BY SCOTT NEARING

The author of Germany: Jekyll &

Hafner is described by the publishers
as man still under 4O-a youngstel
during World War |. Consequently
he writes for the generation that grew
to adulthood in the twenties ant
crashed, head first, into the nazi
dominated thirties.
Haffner evidently is a liberal ir
politics. His book lifts him and his
readers far above partisanship, how
ever. He analyses with the skill of a
competent anatomist and protests in
justice with the fiery Indignation of a
crusader.
He is as unsparing of the German
liberals as he is of the social demo
Gratis and the communists. All three
groups seem to him to have been
that made Hitler chancellor in jan
uary 1888.
Political failure in Germany, the
author argues, is merely an index of
social impotence. The nazis strobe
to power through a people inexperi-
enced in democratic procedures, ac-
customed to discipline and follower

a strong leader who would relieve
them of the responsibility for making
economic and political decisions The

German states of mind, viewpoints
and political activities. If the author
is correct in his estimates, the or

destroyed, but at least a
third of the Germans are sullenly,
hostile to the Hitler re-
gime and are raedy to express their
hostility at the first opportunity.
But the overthrow of Hitlerism,
Haffner contends, must come from
and it must come in the form

BIG BUSINESS
NEEDS 100000
YOUNGSTERS
BY SCOTT NEARING

| The Natl. Assn. of Manufacturers
has sponsored report on 500 social
science textbooks now used by U. S
students. The report was written by
DR.. Ralph W. Robey, assistant profess
sor of banking at Columbia Univer-
sity. The NJ A. NJ authorized the
study and report in an attempt to dis
cover whether subversive and un-
American influences are at work in
the high schools of the country.
While only few of the books are
openly subversive, their general tend
ency, Robey reported, is to disregard
American accomplishments and mag
nifty defects. Consequently, the books
create unrest and discomfort with
American institutions and the Amer
lean way of life. Incidentally, Robey
found that the books are poorly writ
ten, show lack of scholarship, and
are on a very low level"
The N. A. M. is an influential group
of American big businesses. The
members of the association buy raw
materials, use transport and banking
facilities, advertise and sell their prod
ucts not only in the U. S. but in all
Of the important markets of the world.
The organized manufacturers are
chiefly interested in pushing the pro-
duction and sale of those commodities
that will yield them the largest profit.
At the moment, three problems are
bedeviling American businessmen: %
how to take the fullest advantage of
the wars goods market, without run
ming the risks of actual warfare; (2)
how to get control Of the Latin Amer
lean and other peacetime markets
formerly held by the nations of Eu-
rope; and 90 how to avoid economic
and political shipwreck during the
postwar depressions and revolutions.
Until recently American manufac
turers sold more than nine-tenths OF
their products in the home market.
With the home market glutted, future
must lie in foreign markets
and in the production of war goods.
Both foreign markets and military
take the masters of
America away from the democratic
and republican past along the thorny
road to empire. To win world power
they will need the help of the 7,000,-
300 boys and girls now in high school.

supervision of H. d. Rolph, static
supervision of Fl. d. Rolph, state
president of the Montana Farmers

The school started at a. M, daily
and the sessions lasted until 1870
each afternoon. Local problems, farm
Legislation. organization work discus
sion technique, cooperative credit
unions, Rochdale principles and sub
jects of various ideas.
Through the classes, it was found
that many people in all classes of
society are taking advantage of the
opportunities for saving and borrow
ing offered them through the Federal
credit unions. Much interest was
shown in this subject and further
study was planned for the local COM
munities. The Farmers Union wheat
income certificate plan and the debt
adjustment bill were thoroughly ex-
planned as part of the class on farm
legislation.
Following this class a lengthy dis
cussion ensued covering the many
phases of our Farmers Union organ
ization and the many interlocking pro-
grams which must be studied Direct
ly in connection with that idea was
fitted the plans and organization of
co-operatives. This subject covered a
variety Of angles dealing with the |
patronage and organiza-
ton of the co-operatives.
Those in attendance were managers |
Of co-operatiyes, board Of directors of |

Labor Protests Award;
Contract Reported Rescinded
Labor here Is aroused over the
awarding on March l of a contract
to the A. G. Walton Shoe Company,
Boston, for $4,000 pairs of army shoes,
the award coming just two days after
the company was found guilty in fed
eral district court of violation of labor
laws on "a separate counts and fined
$9,475.
Sidney HilIman, co-director of the
Office of Production Management, is
known to have made strenuous objec-
ton to the awarding of the contract,
and to have presented a scorching
memorandum. Labor also took up
the cudgels, and it has been stated,
uncomfortable at this writing, that the
contract has been rescinded. A labor
representative who entered vigorous
protest was told that he didn't display
proper patriotism" Some peoples
ideas on what constitutes patriotism
are somewhat distorted
Labor men insist that there was no
reason whatever for this company be-
ing awarded the contract, except the
desire on the part of somebody to aid
a VIGOROUSLY anti-labor concern. This
was part Of an award for 100000
pairs Of shoes spread out to several
concerns, the lowest bidder receiving
a contract for $3.05. The Walton
company's bid Of s3.46 was one of

pear before the committee as
it closed it's public sessions
Final hearings by the commit
tee were devoted to hearing
recommendations based on the
testimony taken during the
more than two years that the
committee has been investigat-
ing concentration of wealth.
O'Mahoney had a four-ply program
to suggest 1t was:
/. National charters for national cor
porations.
q. Thorough and effective enforce
ment of the antitrust laws.
8. The encouragement of new bust
ness and small enterprise by revision
of the tax laws.
a. A national conference to concen-
trate public thought and action on
the detectives on which there is gen
eral agreement.
For two generations" OMahoney
said, "the concentration of economic
power and wealth has proceeded at
such a pace that the welfare Of the
masses in agriculture and industry
has been seriously jeopardized.
Small business has been swallowed
up by big business and big business
is now confronted with the danger of
being swallowed up by government.
The way to reverse this trend is not
to be found in further expanding the
powers of government nor in releasing
big business from so-called govern
ment interference.
1.-The only remedy to save a demo
cratic economy is to be found in max
ing the economy democratic. -.
I'm defense of democracy we must
find the way to maintain and defend
economic freedom for all"
OMahoney began his statement
with a declaration of faith in free
enterprise" and the statement that

may enable the people to increase
production and to distribute goods and |
services more equitably and effective
ly than before"

speech and we oppose such control
whether it is exercised by public or

He said that "the danger to democ-
racy does not proceed from the prop
uganda of those who believe in the
authoritarian state but from our own
failure to comprehend the causes of
economic instability and to proceed
to democratic remedies"

FSA DENIES LOANS
TO ALABAMA tenant
FARMERS, REPORT

With the termination of the gov
ernment's disaster loan" program
some 300 tenant families in ITALIA
poosa county, Alabama, who have ex-
perienced three years of short crops
and low prices, state that they face
migration unless they can get credit
for food and other crops.
In an appeal to the secretary of
agriculture, Claude Wickard, for re-
medal action, they report that APP
plications to local officials of the FSA
have been rejected. The reason given
by FSA officials is that the tenants
still owe payments on their disaster
loans.
The tenants, however, assert that
large landlords DESTROYS of maintain
ing a supply of cheap wage labor in
the neighborhood are debating local
policy. They state that their seed
loan applications are rejected because
landlords refuse to waive priority on
claims for rent and that tenants owing
only $40 or less on disaster loans have
been refused credit by the FSA.
