 The way Congress feels about these matters is indicated by the decision of the Senate and House to mark time for the next few weeks and to lay aside con- sideration of laws that propose regulation of price fixing, restricted production, and the sale of all goods on the installment buying plan. Washington's disposition is to play ball with young men in the Army and young people, and the small wage earners, and assist them to carry out their budget programs.

that every evil act brings evil upon him who does it.
 One could hardly call this com- forting reality, but a reality it cer- tainly is. It may be hard to face, but facing this truth has deterred some from certain evil courses they were contemplating. If we will look full in the face the consequences Of an evil act before we perpetrate it., we will seldom have the affrontery to go on with 1t. Men can do evil because they see only the temporary satisfaction of such Q course of action. They would turn quickly enough were they but to remind themselves that whether they be detected or not the sin itself will turn upon them to torture them with remorse. to spoil their self-esteeFi, to eat like a ravenous worm at their peace of mind.

The manpower of the United States Army is 1872 1000, plus $40, ,931 men in the Navy and Marine Corps. It is right to stick up for your Government, but that also includes sticking up for the young men who are serving the Government in the Army and who have completed a years training and education that fits them for their scholastic degrees as ef- ficient soldiers entitled to promotions as reserves. This would enable them to re- turn to their homes, subject to call in case they should be needed by their Gov ernment.

Private enterprise is being attacked on many fronts by political factions that are constantly attempting to socialize it. Wages are skyrocketing with no ceiling in sight. Prices and living expenses can not be controlled with wages running wild. The public is indifferent toward debt and preventable waste in public spending. Here is a situation that can lead to most any kind of political upheav- al. In the process, the people can lose liberty itself.

WRITER'S EYES OPENED BY HIS ATTENDANCE OF DEFEND AMERICA TO HELP
 ALLIES RALLY
Waterbury, Conn,
 August 27 1QA1.

WhVefpuIy, NOIAAl,
 August 27, 1941.
 Editor of the Democrat: To you and the Mothers of Amer ica, on Tuesday August 26 I had the extreme pleasure of finding out for myself and have had my suspicious confirmed, that the great majority of the American people are con- vinced that Europe's wars are none of our business. Of course, I realize that Europe's wars are the business of a few of our citizens who have decided to get some of that Fools Gold" that MT. Roosevelt warned us about.
 The few who profit by war should take warning and read the follow ing reference in the Holy Bible if their greed has not blinded them. Book of Josue, Chapter T, Verse l to 26, which shows plainly the lesson to be derived Josue had warned Achan before the battle of Jericho, thab if any man should take gold from the destroyed city, destruction would come to their tribes but Achan disobeyed. Is there a parallel? The occasion leading to the ex- pression of these thoughts was my attenance at Giant Rally of the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies. give all respect to the sponsors of the rally if the real object of the rally was to de- fend America. But having arrived early, so as not to miss anything, l was astourided by the following ob- servationS.
 1st-Being members of the War Party, naturally the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies did not open their meeting with a prayer for peace.
 2nd-Although the American flag of huge size was conspicuouSly dis played the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies (Wins- ton and Joel did not pledge al- legiance to Old Glory, but in one respect, this committee who believe in Union Now and in New Flag, certainly did have an appropriate setting for our American flag as 1t was set up against black shroudS, which was sign of mourning for a noble standard about to lose its identity along with the independ- ence that it represents if we merge interest with the British Empire,
 3rd-The meeting although ad- vertised as supporting the Free French of General DeGaulle was all most devoid of real French people but this Committee being very respectful group of patriotic Anglo philes stood at strict attention when the French National Anthem was played-but could not get en- thusiastic Apough to do that. I stood and sang when the Star Spangled Banner was sung which happened to be the last song rendered.
 The rally was opened with V song for Victory but lately have had an idea based on fact that not fancy that V means Vacate which was vividly demonstrated by some of those glorious retreats.
 There was no reference made to the famous Thumbs Up" which I've always mistaken for a hitch hike sign and wondered if Uncle Sam was being taken for a ride.
 Great stress was voiced on the necessity of Aiding Britain yet greater authorities tell us that Bri- tain Is winning. Also. 1t was pointed out that we are depending on Bri- tain to save America end by such logic it Is we who need help, one of the speakers, after describing the
