FAITH WITHOUT
REASON
By BEN BUCKLEY


This whole silly show of defense
and aid to England Is a death deal
ing blow to the freedom and progress
of mankind If it succeeds in its ulti-
mate purpose The purpose OF pro
lmoting a war land there Is no ques-
ton but what there is a war being
promoted in this country is to retain
the status quo of the big interests
or the ruling class.
The old Capitalist System has so
many props and stulls to try and hold
1t from caving In that 1t looks worse
than the inside of the Butte mines.
The government has been showing H.
nance timber under this system in
order to keep it from caving in. Out
of each load the big interests have
taken their profits, big and generous
ones, while the people, the foundation
of any government, have had 10 fight
each other for what dribbled past and
content themselves with what they
have been abel to get So naturally
the structure keeps on getting weaker
as there is no balance to the whole
affair, or will there ever be.
People must produce and also they
must consume what they produce in
order to produce again. Under a
Profit System this is impossible as
this system is built on debt owed
to the ruling class by the people. A
debt that goes on and on from one
generation to another. You and l to-
day paying a debt to the ruling class
of today and our children and their
children paying the debt to the ruling
classes children and their children
tomorrow And this goes on indefi
nitely, always the debt getting bigger.
And the bigger it gets the more i'm
possible it is to pay. So eventually |
no consumption, then no production. |
must be done.
A true prosperity for all the people |
wouldn't work because In a case of |
that kind there wouldn't be any prof
its for Capital. So it must be false
with big profits and there
is only one way-a nice, bloody, gooey
war that answers several purposes.
l. Big, fat profits for Capital to
reap.
2. Thinning the ranks of the COM
mon people.
8. Destroying the bodies and minds
of some of the choice material of
the time.
A. To control the people as a whole
in thought and action by mass
hysteria and fascist laws en-
forced with military power
| think we can all agree on Capitals
demand for profits. We can recall .
he World war of 1917 and look over
he grating profiteers. We can look
Up the profits today of those pro-
lucing war materials and see that
llready in some instances they run
IS high as 1600%. We can look and !
lee the big profits that have been
made by selling raw materials in the
asst few months to some of the very
lations we are talking of warning
With. :
The Lease-Loan Bill H. r. 1776 r
Further To Promote the Defense of .
he United States and for Other Pur- :
oses." The title of the bill should =
yarn anyone without reading any a
lrther. The bill would give the Z
resident dictatorial powers that II
-ould make Fuehrer Hitler green a
yed with jealousy. 1t gives the presi-
ent not only the control Of the Treas n
ry to do as he sees fit, but he will n
ave the right at any time to con- =
,ript labor, at any price he sees fit,
manufacture defense material. De- y
nse materials means everything y
ON the raw metals to the finished
'oduct be it machine gun or houses, U
Ie grains from the field to the bread, u
neither it feeds the soldier or the "
orker at home, it is all for defense. :"
Then there is Senate Bill 80 of %
ontana that is companion bill to VI
r. 1776 of Washington, d. c., a o.
plica of Senate bill 80 is to go to u
cry state in the union to become "
ate law. A bill THAT is as vicious VI
d as dangerous to the people as ~

and streets and anyone tres
ssing is subject to arrest without
