the most dangerous proposal
ever presented TO Congress and
urged all Americans TO join him in
protest against its enactment.
Landon said he spoke not as
head Of the Republican Party but
as "a plain plug and somewhat
plodding American" in urging the
people to wire their senators 10

United States from war.
Contending that the measure
can still be defeated, he said:

spares you the embarrassment of
asking outsiders to act as en-
dorsers. We help you keep your
money affairs private by not ask
ing friends or relatives about your
credit. Our service is planned so
that you may borrow conveniently
and simply-and repay in INSTALL
ments which fit your own income.
Borrow for less
Payments in the table include all
charges at Households rate of
215% per month on that part of a
balance not exceeding 500, and
-2% per month on that part of a
balance in excess of 500. This
rate is less than the maximum
prescribed by the Small Loan
Law. Every customer gets the
benefit of this rate-whether new
customer or former borrower.
Foir Treatment
If you should get sick or lose your
job while paying on your loan, we
will show you every considera-
ton. Last year we foreclosed on
only one chattel mortgage for
each 10000 loans an action
taken then only as protection
against fraud.
Please feel free to phone or visit
us at any time. You will be under
no obligation to borrow.

American people do not under
stand the war issues and the old
idea OF the League of Nations
involved in II. X. 1776.
THE debate In Congress Is at
last pulling the war issue out in
sight. This Is not simply a bill
TO aid Great Britain short of
war. This Is a war bill. IL en-
powers the President of the
United States to engage the
United States In a foreign war.
81 quote now from Senator
Barkley OF Kentucky. the admin
istrati0n floor leader In the
Senate.
Under the present bill, this
country Is enabled to furnish
war materials of every kind to
any country whose defense the
President considers to be vital to
the defense Of the United
States
THAT is a blanket power to
roam the world, giving away
defense articles. And this bill
defines defense articles so broad
that they include everything
from oattleships and airplanes
10 potatoes and clothespins.
POWER FOR ONE MAN
THAT is the reason 1 say this
Is a dictatorship bill. 1t gives
one man, the President, the
authority TO conduct the foreign
affairs OF the nation entirely by
himself, on his own. without the
advice and consent of the
Senate.
"NO wonder Jesse Jones.
member of the Presidents cabi-
net, told a House committee a
week ago:

presidential policies by passing
the lease and lend bill. we are

lection from any fleet, or any
army, or any nation.
i-Invasion: Practically every
+ witness, who pretended TO
he expert at all, In the hearings
OF the foreign relations commit
tee, held that invasion of our
country was impossible; that no
country could maintain Its line
of supplies TO reach us; and that
TO argue otherwise was simply
TO create among our own fright
and fear that would cause us 10
pass this bill.
S-Under this bill no living
- soul can tell for what pur-
pose. nor when, nor how the
money of America will be
poured out; whether II will ne
used for the punishment of ma
lions that are aggressors now,
or those who may hereafter be-
come aggressors.
CT don't care what the British
" premier says about not
wanting our men. II does not
lie In human nature to lure Us
into war, and then make no
demands for our manpOwer.
What do you suppose the enor-
nous army Is being made for
this country? At first they
wished an army of some 100000
men. They are now building an
army of over 100000 men.
The very fact that the repre-
sentatipes- az the administration
defeated an amendment to this
bill to prohibit men being sent
to fight abroad shows whittier
the wind Is trending.

man ChristiansOn Is
All Right!

Editor: This letter VIII no doubt
be of interest to you and the read
ers of your paper.
In the issue of May 2 of Min
neapolis local weekly an article
written by some man that they call
B. F. Peery 60 was called to my
attention. The writer of the article
in question used the authors name
without his knowledge or consent.
This in itself might have been all
right, but in the sense and manner
in which my name was used I un-
qualifedly resent it.
In the first place when he made
accusation against Aldermen Chris
tianson and Murphy of the 9Th
Ward as regarding their attitude
and stand in the matter of this
writer erecting a gasoline station
at 11O1 Second Ave. s., it is my
duty to speak and speak freely.
During 80 odd years as a citizen
of Minnesota and a resident of
Minneapolis and during the Is odd
years that l have known this Mr..
Peery (?) I have only known him
to be right on two issues and that
was by accident and not by his
judgment. This man reminds me
of one other scatterbrain who
lives in his community.
Or to come strictly to the point,
I frankly and openly state as for
Mr.. Christianson 18th Ward Alder
man) there is no finer and upright,
straight thinking man and no truer
friend Of the colored people in the
whole State of Minnesota. Mr..
Christianson made a gallant and
victorious stand when other fac
tions attempted to stop the author
from building his station at the
above mentioned address. I feel
that not only l myself but every
educated and respectful citizen of
the city of Minneapolis owe to Mr..
Christensen their profound thanks
and gratitude in the stand that he
took in the filling station contro-
versy.
And please permit me to say that
Mr.. Christianson did not take this
stand to defend Brown but he took
his stand as a matter of right and
fair play, tolerance and forbearance
which he firmly advocates for all
men regardless of color or creed.
The author bids him Godspeed
and may the people have pity and
sympathy for Mr.. Peery (?) fol
having made such a stupid and
childish accusation upon one of the
best friends that the colored people
have in this city. u

Can't hold their leaders very
long,
They're SO good other fields are
sought,
Soon we hear their swan song.
Their fame goes out far and wide.
Immediately they are thus re-

A better position with security as
sured,
Their salary automatically has
scared.
The Twin Cities affords an ideal
proving place
For workers with progressive
ideas,
Who can do the unusual and ignore
routine
Hard work overcomes idle
dreams.
Many workers think this IL the
last place
They would ever want to come,
So far away from large Negro
centers,
They wouldn't come for any sum.
If accept-they stay here for ex-
perience,
Have their ears sttuned for other
places,
Still command a good salary
But think we're lacking in Ger.

Unusual if one stays ten years or
Like they do in other commune

Their program is never complete
Before they're called by several

It's q known fact far and wide,
They can go most anywhere
And get what they thinks been
