COMMUNIST PARTY
NOW BANNED FROM
BALLOT in STATES

Chicago (ILNS). - The number of
states which deny place on the ballot
to the Communist party, either by
statute or special ruling, was more
than doubled by legislative action of
1941, survey by the Council of State
Government shows.
Nine of the states considering such
prohibitory legislation this year
enacted the legislation into law. With
this action by Arkansas, Illinois, Kan
sas, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas,
Wisconsin and Wyoming, Is states
now bar the Communist party from
their ballots.
Similar proposals failed to pass in
Colorado, Idaho, Massachusetts, and
Michigan.
The Ohio and Oregon laws forbid
placing candidates of any "un-Ameri-
can" party before voters, while the
other laws refer specifically to the
Communist party. The Texas and Il
linois laws extend the prohibition to
nominees of the Nazi and Fascist
parties.
The first legislation barring Com
munists from the ballot was enacted
by Indiana in 1888. The California
law was adopted in 1910, and attor-
neys-general or secretaries of state
of four other states-Arizona, Geor-
gia, Kentucky, and New Mexico
ruled bans on Communist nominees
last year also.

More than 200 organizers from ev-

At the opening of the two-day ses-

American Federation of Labor that
strikes must be avoided at all costs
Secretary Treasurer George Meany

members discipline and employ ne
gotiation, conciliation and mediation
before talking strike action. He ex-

To defend America we must have

The United States today is full of

Tactics of the administration and

with a score Of nationally known
and influential writer's have led this
country to war ~hysteria.
These men and women have done
everything in their power to con-
vince the public that the United
States must enter the wal with Bril-
tain. They have kept pounding on
the idea until men and women have
become afraid and are now seriously
considering the advisability of their
congress surrendering its power to
the President.
In brief, if this is done, it means
surrendering our representative gov
eminent to a dictatorship for the
expressed purpose of preserving
democracy for people in other parts
of the world. It doesn't make sense.
The first thing these would-be
helpers-of- Britain have done is kill
liberty at home.
Walter Winchell, Walter Lippman,
Dorothy Thompson are only a few Of
she writers who have used the free
dom of the press and radio to abuse
other citizens who do not believe as
they do.
They have s~hamelessly written a.

American citizens whose patriotism
should be hess subject to questioning
than their own.

ed to the weapon of ridicule of con-
gressmen WHO do not believe as the

sident to come before the congress at least
every two years to state his desires and needs
for an army for the ensuing two years.
Briefly it makes provision for the voice
of the people to still be felt in their govern
ment through their elected representatives
on the subject of war and the army. IL Is
a check on power-crazy presidents.
The body or group that controls ap-
preparations also controls the army. AS long
as the president has to secure the approval
of congress for appropriations he alone can.
not plunge us into war. Give him control or
the pursestrings, as the lend-lease bill does,
and he will be a virtual dictator, free and
independent of congress. The people will
not have to be consulted.
We can rest assured that the constltu-
ton was deliberately overlooked when this
lend-lease bill was written. 1t should under
no circumstances be passed until every sec
ton is fully debated and the public has
been made aware of its every provision and
implication.
If Congress does see fit to give FDR
any more power than he already has 1t
should certainly have sense enough to place
a limit on that power. This column would
say limit it not to two years, but one.

SeH-Perpetuoting Arsenal

Section 6 (B) of the Presidents Lend
Lease bill provides for creating permanent
funds for a self-perpetuating arsenal, accord
ing to the Memphis Press-Scimitar which
strike out that section of the bill when the
measure has been fully considered.
Section 6 deals with what happens If or
when foreign governments begin to repay for
the ornaments we let them us. 1t reads
OBJ All money and property which is con-
verted into money received under Section 3 from
any government shall, with the approval Of the
director Of the budget, revert to the respective
Appropriation or appropriations out of which
funds were expended with respect to the defense
article or defense information for which such
consideration is received. and shall be available
for expenditure for the purpose for which such
expended funds were appropriated by law,
during the fiscal year in which such funds are
received and the ensuing fiscal year.
Our constitution enumerates the powers
OF congress Ito raise and support armies, but
no appropriation of money to that use shall
be for a longer term than two years."
The Press Scimitar says: "As we read
the Lend-Lease Bill provision it means this:
If, five or ten years from now, some foreign
nation pays us back in money or property
convertible into money, the funds then OBJ
tanned would return to a big armament pool,
and could be spent that year or the year
following, to buy more ornaments, to be
turned back to the same nation or trans
ferred to some other foreign nation. We say
five or ten years, but as a matter of sact
couldn't it be done 20 or 80 years hence
and done without Congress having anything
whatever to say about it? After making
the original appropriation, Congress would
relinquish all control over what happened
to the money or ornaments thereafter. And
there would be created a self-perpetuating
military machine, under the exclusive control
of the chief executive
That part of the constitution regarding
appropriations for armies and limiting them
to two years was not written without pur-
pose. 1t was placed in there to limit the
powers of presidents who have war-ike as
