The majority of the American Press
have joined together to prepare the
mind of America" for conveys is the
charge made In the current issue OF
In Fact.
"'Convoys mean shooting and shoot
ing means war; President Roosevelt
is reported as telling his press con-
ference washington correspondent
Arthur Krock, N. Y. Times, April 60
"a clamor' for conveys is reported
by newspapers and radio commenta'
tors.
Readers must bear in mind the fact
(proved by the CONSUMPTION campaign,
the Lease-Lend campaign, etc. that
an atmosphere is created and public
opinion is made largely by the press
Headlines, slanted stories, editorials
cartoons, even letters to the editor,
are used to prepare the American
people for certain actions, just as they
are in countries which have official
censorships and official control of the
press. The majority of U. S. newspa-
pers favored CONSUMPTION and the
ILend-Lease Bill. Interventionist news
papers are now clamoring for con-
voys."
when William Allen White retired
from the Committee to Defend Amer
lea by Aiding the Allies he said that
conveys would mean the beginning OF
bloodshed The President OF the
United States confirms it. Neverthe-
less the Committee announces rally
May to help prepare the mind of
America for the conveying of goods
across the Atlantic"
In Fact claims, "Isolationists, inter-
ventionists, pacifists, neutrals agree
that the most important facts about
World War III today, so far as Amer
lea is concerned, are:
/. The sinking of merchantmen
bound for Britain is the most vital
problem Of the present war, much
more vital than the Balkans or Egypt.

At an organization meeting held at

time of proclaimed full emergency
or war.
One statute authorizes the Presl
dent to instruct the Tariff Commls-
sion to make a study of the costs OF
production Another, part of the draf'
act, provides for the placing OF COM
pulsory orders and the taking over OF
plants in the event of failure or re
fusal to comply with such orders.
The third non-wartime statute au
thorizes the President to requisition
materials denied export.
OF the wartime statutes, one is
similar to the draft act provision
while the other gives the President
power to establish preferences IN
transportation. Under the latter stat
ute the government, in time OF war or
threatened war could deny transpor-
tation facilities to the steel companies
refusing to obey the price order.
A recent study prepared for the
Temporary Natl. Economic Commit
tee showed that steel companies gen.
orally give substantial price con-
cession to large purchasers with the
exception of the federal government
which is the largest purchaser.
1t limited that ownership of steel
producing facilities by the government
in even small degree would be an
effective weapon to keep steel prices

Homes renting for less than $40 in
creased in rent 14.7%o in Bridgeport,
1870 in Corpus Christi, 1880 in Gads-
den, 21.8%6 in San Diego, and 21.1%
in South Bend.
1.-THE statistics of rent changes do
not tell the story of doubling up, liv-
ing in temporary barracks, and taking
long and inconvenient trips to nearby
towns for overnight lodging" the BIS
report said.
prices of many of the foods most
important in wage earners' budgets
were higher in January, 1871 than
they were in October, 1889 at the time
these special studies were initiated
the bureau said.
Meat and dairy products were
higher in each of the five cities The
increase in average meat costs ranged
from 3.3, 3.8, and 1870 in Corpus
Christi, Gadsden and South Bend to
1870 in Bridgeport and 14.7% in San
Diego.
Higher prices for dairy products,
particularly butter, brought costs for
this group up by as much as 40 in
Gadsden."
Price increases in the clothing field,
it was stated were similar to price
increases in other large cities.
The average price of overalls and
other cotton work clothes were more
than $50 higher in Gadsden and Cor
pus Christi. Work shirts were go
to sec higher and the prices of per-
Gale, used in making womens dresses
and mems pajamas and shirts, also
went up in Bridgeport, Corpus Christi
and South Bend.
Housefurnishings, particularly inn
portant to workers moving to new
cities, also advanced. Blanket prices
increased in all cities except San
Diego. Furniture prices rose and
stove prices rose.
From other sources it was indicated
that still further price increases are
on the way.
The index of prices for the 28 basic
commodities used by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics as indicators of the
price trend showed a 36.5% increase
between August, 1899 and April, 1871.
Some of the commodities, burlap,
for example, rose as much as 1870
in price.
These price increases, it was stated,
will be reflected in retail prices this
summer and fall although perhaps not
as drastically.
The general wholesale price index
rose over go between the start of the
war in Europe nd April IA, 1941.

from persons who had no objection
at all to the appointment of William
S. Knudsen as director general of the
| OPM, John ID. Biggers as the head
of the OPM production division, and
various other dollar-a-year men.
The second appointment to stir up
the animals was that of Leon Hender-
son as administrator of the Office of
Price Administration and Civilian
Supply.
Henderson has long been part of
the New Deal team" of which Hop
kins spoke so glowingly in his appear
ance before the senate commerce com
mittee. AT one time Henderson was
Hopkins chief economist.
At the beginning of the defense
program Henderson drew frowns and
growls from his teammates for his
part in the drafting of extremely lib
eral (for business) amortization pro-
visions in the tax laws at the time
business was ON a sitdown strike.
His cracking down on the steel pro-
ducers following the wage increases,
however, restored him to favor and
place of esteem among those to whom
the dismantling of the New Deal was
an unpleasant sight.
Between them, Henderson and Hop
kins have the opportunity of throw
ing a considerable amount of weight
around in the defense program and
both of them are capable of doing it.
Dollar-a-year moguls in the OPM, as
a matter of fact, view the appoint
ment of the two as an encircling
movement of the type made feared in
recent months.
To what extent, actually, the nam
ing of the two represents return
to the 1897 outlook on the part of the
administration will not be known for
some time. The Outlook, however, is
fair to middlin'.
Increased activity ON the part of the
Dies committee can be confidently ex
son: Rep. Martin Dies 3D., Tex,
chairman of the committee, has an
nounced himself a candidate for the
U. S. senate.
Dies will run in the special primary
to be held before July to determine
a successor to Sen. Morris Sheppard
d., Tex who died recently.
AS a matter of fact, Dies broke into
the headlines ON the very day he an
nounced his candidacy.
An Italian editor was killed in Chi
cago and a "Dies committee official"
announced that the edi-
tor was an informant for the Dies
committee. Why couldn't the COM
mittee get protection for its witnesses,
the committee wanted to know.
1t was assumed, of course, that the
Italian editor was telling the Dies
about the activities of the
Italian fascists and that he was, him
self, an anti-fascist. Some papers ran
headlines to that effect.
But it was not too much of sur |
prise when it was discovered that the
Italian was, in truth, more
fascist than the fascists and that his |
quarrel with some of the groups was |
that they were not loyal enough to

keen the markets there from falling
| into other hands.
Another sensational charge has
been made by Frederick M. Myers,
national NMU organizer. Writing in
The Pilot Myers said that while Bri-
tain was asking for US ships, the
British navy was sparing certain Ital-
ian merchant ships insured by Lloyds;
lotherwise mot a single Italian mer-
chant ship could move" in the Medi-
terranean Continues Myers:
IF this war were a total war, or
| if the British were really in earnest
in wishing to destroy fascism, if this
were on the up and up-the Italian
merchant fleet would have been des-
troyed in one week after the war
started.
:" The British fleet is forbidden
to sink Italian ships and cripple
Italy's war effort, simply to save mon
ey for Lloyds, a company in which
many highly placed Englishmen have
financial holdings. Almost all
Italian merchant ships are insured by
Lloyds. . If great losses were in
flicted on Italy, Lloyds would suffer
and many big government officials
in England are connected in one way
or another with Lloyds or with Big
Business. .
1T is real war all right as proved
by the fact men, women and children
are being killed !. But the aims are
phoney The British have no more
intention of destroying fascism than
they have of committing suicide"

idealism has been used to delude the
minds of the people since ancient
times and has been one of the most
effective devices of reaction. Always
the advocates of this philosophy have
been the most bloodthirsty warmon-
gers and have used their influence
to keep the common herd" in check.
They have always been staunch sup
porters of the status quo and have
been tools of kings and czars even
as they are now.
Let me repeat that l believe many
of the sayings of Christ were very
good. Many of the sayings of all of
the founders of religions were good,
but they were the sayings that had
nothing to do with idealism. | do
not believe the philosophy of ideal
ism has any place in progressive
