WiIIkie Confusions

A S WENDELL L. WILLKIE gets and more
a steamed up on war he to become more and
befudded in his statements.
Going completely over the side of the Soviets, he
made this extraordinary statement few days ago:
THE only thing we had 10 fear from commu-
nism was the possible triumph Of theology. Now
even the idea (of communsm) il no longer real men,
democracy Its appeal rapidly dying. its propa
ganda confused and futile. II is dream that didn't
true"
He further topped this with the astonishing and
totally false assertion that Russian communism has
never been military menace
Communism is, in fact, greater menace to our
democracy than il has been this administration
and Mr. Willke gave the green light TO Stain and his
brutal totalarian and their open and hidden fol-
lowers in the United States.
The appeal" of communism is not only NOT dying
but it has been given lease of life by Mr. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Wikie themselves.
And when Mr.. Willkie has the effrontery to assert
that Soviet Russia has been military menace ne
would in infantie ignorance of modern history
Soviet Russia has taken either by actual military
force by military menace whole province in China,
Outer Mongolia Estona, Latvia, Lithuana, half of
Poland Bessarabia and part Of Finland.
u UT this eft-handed defense Of communism by Mr..
- Wilkie will not surprise to those who have
followed his writings this subject

Browder leader Of the Communists of America, for

that all Communists and their felowtraveers use-that

"civi liberties"
This article-which also calls the Imprisonment of

nique of radcalism which he will throw sharp light
Mr. Wilkes latest attempt to minimize the dangers to
this country of the administrations tieup with Stains
slave state
Mr.. Willkie is longer member of either of the
old line political parties He is certainly not Republican
He has definitely joined up with the radical left wing
Of the New Deal partya party that has always looked on
the Russian experiment noble"
His latest statement about Russia and communism
makes somewhat puzzlng to why he not sent to
Moscow with Harry Hopkins.
What welcome he would get there where all opposi-
ton to communism in the United States is denounced as
political prosecution

Uniform Traffic Laws

DDITIONAL evidence Of the need for uniformity
"A in traffic laws comes from Ferndale justice
court.
In the heavy afternoon traffic drove his motor
cycle 90 miles an hour in Woodward through
Ferndae Highland Park and into Detroit with police
chasing.
Captured inside Detroit city limits he returned
to Ferndale and fined $40.
This penalty is little than that imposed
innocent motorist who drives without tail light.
Lives of hundreds of citizens endangered in this
mad chase And it not the fault of the speeder that
killed
1t is sad commentary on the inconsistency of penal
ties for traffic violations that this dangerous speeder
let off with SO fine in Ferndae while others jailed
in Detroit for far lesser violations
