concomitant failure to recognize
Americas danger
This is not "just another war"
and the raging confligration will not

the governor commended.
O'Conor raped, too, the argument
that America is fully protected by
the Atlantic ocean," declaring that
modern science and inventions "have
so bridged the ocean that any war on
large scale such as this is actually
only next door"
"The time has come" said the chief
executive, "for every American man

Enemies Within Our Gates
"The time for plain speaking has
also come. We have reached a point
in such crisis that the friends of our
nation are entitled to call the atten-
ton of our people to the fact that
every American who is not against
Hitler is for Hitler-say what he
will
There are already enemies within
our gates-and a great many of them

us to remember that Quislings are

various types of dangers that will
threaten if, unfortunately, our state
is subjected to a hostile attack" he
said, adding that organization of sew
eral of these services already has be-
gun under the direction of the Mary
land Council of Defense.
In matters of civilian defense, the
20 tetI IlllllU VI Tic OGleCIlNG 1 IL ll-

the governor noted, pointing out that
"as we have seen from pictures and
accounts of civilian defense in Brit

youngest and most active of the
civilian population"
"The very fact that, here in Amer

now raging in Europe, we should
have to organize such defense plan

Of troops provided in such a

Moreover, the system under
