But the greatest monument of all is the Horauo

thousands of men, advanced the motor industry made
Detroit bigger and prosperous, and set before
America high ideal of good craftsmanship and honesty

Re-Americanize Now

WYE HAVE spent 80 years Americanzng ourselves
w We have spent eight years DEAMERlCANll-
ING ourselves.
AMERICANIzING ourselves meant that we had
learned more and more apply to ourselves the con-
sttutiona principles of INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY and the
expanding of our system of FREE ENTERPRISE
The processes of DE-AMERICANlzING ourselves
has gone on rapidly by adopting colectivist-allen-
minded-principles by creating vast army OF pubic
parasites by continuous extension of executive power
and by hamstrngng the necessary freedom OF business
transactions.
This DE-AMERICANIzATION has eliminated in
the European-spawned property seizure BILL sometimes
known as the brass knuckles BILL bill that If passed.
would give the President the conscatory powers OF
Hitler Stain.
THE measure is now before the Senate military affairs
/ committee
Before this committee the other day appeared Miss
Cahrne Curtis national director Of Women Investors III
America who laid before the committee these 10 cogent
AMERICAN reasons why this bill should be killed
1T is essential to national defense program
"C- takes people the basic and constitutional
Il rights of private property ownership.
"CIt completes the Presidents power to take all or any
j part of any manufacturing plant.
At permits the President to take the entire
4 stock of any corporation
1T completely changes industrial economy to
military economy.
ct hits hardest the small manufacturers.
att gives the President power to deprive investors in
all private enterprise of any assurance OF security
"o-I suppants individual initiative private enterprise
O and the profit system
"n-t makes all labor subser,ient to and dependent
upon government.
"10-The bill provides the President with grant of
III power to set aside constitutional rights
In word this brass knucke' bill would, if enacted
completely DE-AMERICANIZE whole way of life
1t is DESTRUCTIVE OF THE BILL OF RIGHTS
in that it rescinds the guarantees of civil liberties.
THERE are only two systems of government on earth
/ today: A CENTRALIZED DICTATORSHIP and
the AMERICAN SYSTEM-at least that American
system that prevailed previously to 1888
Since then have gone backward-toward those
ideas that have ALWAYS destroyed free peoples.
The Seizure" bi--WHICH NO AMERICAN UP
TO DATE HAS DARED TO SPONSOR OPENLY-is, as
Miss Curtis has succncty pointed out measure
virtually to ENSLAVE us
This bill should be buried deeply in the committee
archives that it will be heard of again.
No measure to further enslave the people of the
United States should moments favorable con-
sderation in Congress.
We Americans have tremendous task ahead OF
us 1t is this: To RE-AMERICANlZE ourselves.

WE HAVE met few penolo-
giStS, or men experienced
in the handling Of criminals,
who believed in capital punish
ment as crime deterrent ON
the contrary, most OF them cN-
pressed themselves rs definitely,
opposed to the system, 4 notable
example being Lewis +. LaWcS..
for many years warden of New
York States famous Sing Sing,
who has just retired and whose
successor. Robert John Kirby
holds a similar view OF the death
penalty.
The warden of Sing Sing,
where all executions IN New
York State take place, IS re
uuired to witness these Crue-
some spectacleS, and during
Lawes' long regime many took
place there He was always
present IN the death house when
the executioner turned on what
tho reporters used 10 call the
lethal Juice. so 10 that extent he
fulfilled the requirement
But it is doubtful if Lawcs
ever actually beheld an eXecu-
tion-that is to say, if he ever
saw the sudden surge of the
body in the chair as the first
Jolt of electricity struck through
il. the tightening and whitening
of the hands under the straps,
and the other horrid details of
the destruction of human life by
law. We have covered executions
at Sing Sing and it seemed to
be Lawes' practice 10 stand well
back in the crowd OF witnesses
and TO drop his eyes just before
the fatal thrust OF man-made
lightning.
THUS he spared himself most
i of the distressing scene that
reported in the interests of
accuracy could not well avoid.
II was not that LaWcS was
faint-hearted. He simply alb
horred this phase Of his duty.
and we have found his attitude
common among officials who are
required 10 function az Su n
ghastly proceedings including
actual executions. And we might
add the reporters
Most ncwSpapermen " b n
cover an execution cen the
veterans, arc generally more or
less shaken for some time after
wards. II is our guess that a poll
OF the experienced ScriheS would
disclose pronounced opposition
10 capital punishment, If only
on the grounds of its barbara
nature. OF course. that is not the
chief reason why so many ex'
pert penologistS like Lawes OPP
pose IT. They hold that IT doe:
not fulfil It's supposed purpose
of lettering others from com
hitting capital crimes.
Their argument Is supported
1 by statistics. In no state where
capital punishment exists has
there been a sustained decrease
