Pan-American Ideals

ONE of the most curious anomalies of history is that
~ North and South America, intimately related geo.
graphically, politically and economically, much more
concerned with Europe than with each other.

Against

COME believe that the President and Con-
y gress ought not be hampered or criticized
for what they are doing or trying to do,
because they are doing what they feel is right.
Hitler, Goering, Mussolini and all the high
and low Nazi and Fascist leaders believe they
are doing what is right for their nations also
1t is noticeable, is it not, that no UNI
American writer's were ever heard to advocate
that we finance and help fight Germanys war
against Britain.
To do so most certainly would be mon
strous crime in the eyes of those who now,
for the second time in quarter century,
advocate that the people of this nation give
blood and wealth to rescue the British
imperialists in another world war
Tell Britain to grant independence to
India to British South Africa
Tell her to get out of Hongkong, China
and the British East Indies.
Tell her to abandon the idea that Britain
must rule the waves-the seas should be free
for all nations to use.
Fefi Japan to get out Of ManChuria.
Tell Germany to get out of France and
the other European countries she now holds
by force.
Tell Italy to give up Albania and Ethiopia,
and send her sons back home to make music
and love.
Tell France to abdicate her imperial
throne in Africa and Indo-China give up the
idea she should be the dominant nation on
the continent.
If Britain, who now wants our help, will
agree to free her colonial slaves as suggested
above and Germany, France and Italy and
Japan will not agree to iiberate their con-
quered peoples, then l would favor going to
war on the side of England to make them do so.

"A being threatened by this so-called dicta-
torship.
Let me say, why don't Americans be
Americans and preserve Our democracy? Give
us unity spirit and the courage to cooperate
with the President.
Disregard the extravagant, false accusa-
tions made by some American foreigners, or
shall l say pro-Nazi sympathizers. Secret
agencies of the Axis powers are now at work
attempting to demoralize, misguide and pro-
mote confusion among our American people.
Should we let words divide us and make a
revolution and finally destroy great nation
for Hitler's cause, or shall we stand with
F. d. r. and be Americans for America.

I REGARD the suggestion of ]. c. Stubs in
i Tuesdays Times, that "the people vote on
war to aid Britain" and "those voting yes. if
they win, be indicted into the armed forces
at once and the negative voters be conscripted
for the munition works" as well as the addi-
tional suggestions regarding currency and
services without pay, as the best have seen.
Cannot something be done about them
1t is true. as he says that some who pirate
patriotism so loudly" are not really patriotic,
but have other interests at heart. To carry
out Mr. Strubbs' suggestions would be an
effective means of smoking out the phoney

I WANT to endorse every word said by ~ W.
Bradd, and to add that those who are SO
.unpatriotic as to make so many false state
ments about our noble and loyal President
should be very much ashamed.
We surely owe him our loyal allegiance
and deepest sympathy in these trying days.
We know he doesn't want our peaceful country
in war any more than we do.
He is certainly doing everything that can
be done to protect our country and to keep
us out of war, and l have the utmost faith in
him to protect our homes and nation.
If we are crowded into war it won't be our
Presidents fault.

OF THE
Better Election Laws

THANKS TO Secretary of State Harry F. Kelly the
fight for better election laws is to be kept alive this
year until the Legislature is prodded into action
He is heading committee that has taken steps to
simplify the election procedure and discard the many
cumbersome requirements which open the way TO fraud
and abuse
Chief aide 10 Kelly is Detroit Election Supervisor
Oakley Dstin whose years of experience qualities him
expert Disn's advanced ideas not theories;
they the results of many distressing experiences
the Detroit election commission Offices
Kelly also has enlisted Senator Carl +. Delano and
Harry j. Vandenberg both of Kalamazoo who have been
studying the subject for years.
1T Is happy circumstance that the members of the
election commissions of the House and Senate have
welcomed the aid of this group and have promised to
operate in bringing about the necessary reforms
At the first conference this week IT agreed that
the state should have election commission of five
bers with broad powers. The secretary of state
chief election official would be chairman and the others
would be appointed BY the governor and with
out pay.
The commission would guard against frauds result
ing from questionable petitions and would make rules for
orderly conduct of elections in every county.
The proposed law would allow printing of constitu-
tional amendments condensed form of 100 words
less instead of requiring them to be printed in full
IELLY'S committee has made good start
IL The members should turn to the Detroit prob
lem resulting from anquated primary system They
should make clear to the oustae legislators that Detroit
cannot have representation until the is divided
into legislative districts.
resolution to accomplish this necessary reform by
constitutional amendment is to be introduced next week
1t should be passed at that the question
be submitted to the voters at the April election
