Another example of Sears bias was
his refusal to give any weight to the
Sworn testimony of James D. O'Neil.
i O'Neils testimony remained complete

than accept O'NeiPs sworn testimony,

Chase was identified in the hearing
as an advocate and speaker for the |

says the fact that Chase acted as
agent for the nazis is completely i'm
material.
Since 1884 no deportation has been
against any alien because
of membership or utilization in the |
Marine Workers Industrial Union, or
any similar labor organization. No |
action ever has been taken against
the tens of thousands of men who
admit such membership or utilization.
Instead they single out Mr.. Bridges

was crowded with one of the largest
groups of the year no one spoke in
favor of a second AE.F. nor voted
against the resolution.
This is evidence of how the veter-

that the national convention was
swayed by hysteria and pressure from
a war-minded administration. In
thoughtful moments the veterans of

gratuitous undertaking, on the pretext
of seeing whether NYA abolished its

young people, and they were abolished

tening off war profits.
Within a short time, and perhaps
it is only a coincidence, Secretary of
the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr.,
suggested to congress that it might
be well to limit all war profits to
Is percent Then Sen. Walter George
of Georgia, chairman of the powerful
finance committee of the senate, de-
nounced Morgenthau's suggestion and
insisted congress would not adopt it,.
George contended the producers and
manufacturers should not be discour-
aged by any such limitation of profits.
George was one of those who helped
defeat an excess profits tax which
would have reached profiteers.
But as the practical politician
warned, the storm is rising. Within
a short time after this is written, it
is understood a number of progress
sives in congress will organize to lay
down a threat of battle to George and
his conservative following. Then the
fight will be on. Consumers and lit
tie business are going to be heard.

ON OUR
DOORSTEP
By PARKER T. ANDERSON

| While it is a tradition that battles
are won on the cricket fields of Eng
land it is equally true all great ma
i tional issues in America are settled
around the cracker barrel. Since we
| are democracy this has more than
the mere flavor of actuality. War
| is a general topic for conversation
from Badgersburgh to Times Square.
What then is the man in the street
saying?
National strains represented on the
Big Flat stem largely from the British
Isles and the Scandinavian countries.
Ninety percent are American born.
They have mistaken confidence in
the leadership of President Roosevelt,
view Senator Wheeler askance and
think Lindbergh a joke. They have
a robust suspicion of Hitler and his
new order and consider Mussolini the
Jackal of the axis powers. If war
actually breaks they believe the navy
will do most of the fighting and hope
their own sons will be needed only
for garrison duty in the western hem
isphere and at strategic points in our
insular possessions. Their thinking
now is more consumed by the eco
nomic consequences of war than by
possible combat.
Let's listen in at the conference of
the high command at the corner
One strategist says Stain
should concentrate an overwhelming
force on a ten-mile front, break
through at all cost and then flank
the nazis north and south. He fig
lres the enemy could not reform his
lines in less than 4S hours and then
t would be too late. Another says
Hitler is saving Sweden and Switzer-
and for neutral sanctuary If and
when he suffers defeat, in the manner

concluded with: ITO begin thinking
and planning now for that goal is
really part of our defense effort. 1t
is the very heart of the dynamic, DEM
ocratic philosophy which is the only
hope of a troubled world"
There you have i'm. W. Thatcher
spokesman for the farmer, asking
What of the night?" for agriculture
and Sen. Robert Wagner repeating
the question as spokesman for labor.
The implication is plain. 1t is up to
the producers of this land to Take

National league.
At second Flash" Gordon of the
Yankees was a big factor in the Yanks
pennant drive. He is a marvellous
fielder and a potent hitter in the
clutch. Billy Herman of the Dodgers
is very close up. He is a brilliant
fielder, and was a major cog in bring
ing the flag to Brooklyn.
Hack of the Cubs is my selection
for third. He is the only 3rd sacker
that finished in the charmed circle of
the Big Ten in the batting race and
a sweet fielder. Although, Tabor, of
the Boston Red Sox is a brilliant
performer.
Travis, short stop for the Senators,
crashed down with 21S hits for the
seasons total in both leagues and
takes the mythical title all by himself.
Jimmy Foxx is my choice for utility
infielder He is still a power hitter,
a good first baseman, can catch, and
plays nice game around third base
Frank Hayes of the Athletics and
the veteran Dickey of the champion
Yanks are tops as backstops.
Whit Wyatt of Brooklyn, Elmer
Riddle of Cincinnati, Robert Teller of
Cleveland mad Thornton Lee of the
Chicago White Sox are all premier
box artists, and to elaborate on their
relative merits is too big a job for
me.
