Flynn Urges Defeat of Obstructionists
Who Place Their Party Above Country

Edward J. Flynn, Chairman of
the Democratic National Commit
tee, denounced leaders, of the
America First Committee and Re-
publican congressman who are
putting party above country -oday.
The National Chairman, address
ing large gathering of Democra-
tic leaders from all over the
HOosier State, meeting in Indiana
polls recently, called upon Ameri-
can citizens in bevery State, coun-
ty and precinct, to concentrate on
the reputation of subtle propagan-
da intended to create disunity
among our people and to elect
members of the Presidents own
party to the legislative branch of
government in the Congressional
elections next year.
Our economic system, our lib
critics. and our democracy are not
perpetual institutions" Mr.. Flynn
said. They are the accumulated
results Of common ideals, common
effort, and common attainment by
millions of individuals over an ex-
tended period of time. If disunity
is created, if neighbor looks upon
neighbor with suspicion, if social
and religious barriers split us into
factions and groups, then our COM
mon bond will be destroyed. Our
economic system, our liberties and
our democracy could not and would
not continue in the face of a state
of disunity"
Assailing the America First or
ganization for promoting disunity
and preaching false doctrines, Mr..
Flynn declared:
1--WE must have a great peoples
movement to place American pur-
poses first, to see to it that no
subtle propaganda and no organic

All Aid for Russia

1t is no time for confused or
quixotic thought. If we help ade-
quately the Russians may hold, If
they hold thousands of American
lives may be saved. Roll out the
tanks, the planes, every material
that will help Russia. Never mind
the Soviet idea. We can deal with
that. Never mind the danger of
Soviet collapse. We must risk
that. Roll out the materials! And
deliver them! That goes for in
dustry. 1t goes for labor. 1t goes
for the thinking and the acting Of
all classes here. Aid to Russia,
now this winter, will guard Ameri-
can lives. Produce the aid and
deliver the aid - Baltimore Sun.

THE REPUBLICANS

If the Republicans in Congress
had started out with the idea of
making for themselves at this ses-
sion as ignoble and unworthy a rec
ord as possible, they already would
have achieved a considerable meas
ure of success. For certainly, it
is true that in matters of strategy
and statemanship they have sunk
to very low level indeed.
In fact, it is not easy to see how
they can go much lower. The stu
pidity Of their attitude on foreign
policy is matched only by their stu
,idity on domestic policies. In
brief, they oppose Mr.. Roosevelt
when he is right and support him
when he is wrong. -. Crank Kent,

A Peace To End War

We tried isolationism in peace

risk Of losing the war The Pres
ident's leadership has skillfully
turned the face of America away

what then? This will be a complex
difficult undertaking, to be sure.
For the U. S. to disclaim RESPONSE
bility nthis task would be to re-
peat the folly of the past, to pave
the way to new Armistice Days to
be observed in the midst TO new

ed group ever can destroy our kim
dred purposes. Sincere Ameri-
cans who may have felt that an
isolationist policy could guarantee
our future security and freedom,
now should realize that the con-
tinuance of this belief only breaks
down the common the common
purposes upon which our freedom,
security and strength as a nation
are founded"
Attacking congressional and SEN
atorial members of the Republican
party who, by their votes, have in
jected partisan note into the
most important and vital problem
confronting the American people,
Mr.. Flynn said:
I'm the face of such an attitude
politics cannot be adjourned until
sucn time as the Republican party
goes on record as favoring those
policies which safeguard our ma
tional independence. There is no
alternative except to believe that
the Democratic party is the only
major political organization giving
unqualified support to our Presi-
dent
I'VE must draw into our party
those liberal thinking men and
women whose strength will be
greater because of organization
and who in turn will make for
greater organization strength. We
must rekindle the interest of party
members who may have fallen
away because of clashes in person
ality or minor differences in opin-
ion with respect to policies. We
must unite to safeguard principles
and freedom which are greater
than any individual and essential
to ALL"

WHAT EDITORS
ARE SAYING
Advice to Democrats

The Democrats now must get or
ganized like they never have before
as this is the most crucial time in

must increase the number of con-

Democratic ticket next year by
building organizations in all the

we'll as the industrial centers. -
