Undoubtedly the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the Dies commit
tee are doing effective service gain
ing information calculated to be OF
use in preparing our defense against
this well-known weapon of the to-
talitarians.
We have repeatedly seen state
ments purporting to come from Hit
ler that the United States was on
the brink of a revolution; that he
was organizing his storm troops
here to go into action at the proper
moment.
Congress has started upon the
delicate task of preserving civil lib
critics and at the same time provid-
ing against the willful destruction
of war material, the sabotaging of
our nationals to revolutionary
theories.
Approximately a month ago the
Summers bill, putting into effect in
peacetime the willful destruction Of
War Materials Act of 1918, became a
law.
Aliens Now Registered.
We have an espionage act intend
ed to protect power plants and lines,
dams and reservoirs, gas works and
pipes and communication facilities
serving the armed forces or defense
plants. We have recently completed
the registration Of aliens, which has
strengthened the country's defenses
against the Trojan horse. Sedition
and the preaching of the overthrow
of the Government by force are
punishable.
The Department of Justice has
asked for legislation to aid it. in the
discovery of evidence anh the FORE
stalling of sabotage. Such legisla-
ton would include the right by the
F. B. l., under direction of the At
torney General, to- tap wires in order
to prevent and ascertain attempts or
plans to interfere with the national
defense by sabotage, treason, sedi-
tious conspiracy, espionage and
| other violations of law affecting our
security. Such legislation will be
necessary in view of the Communi-
cations Act of 1884.
There is another bill, aiming at
registration of firearms, which died
in a committee of the Senate with
the end of the Seventy-sixth
Congress.
An act was recently passed per-
mitting the several States to estab-
lish, by legislative action, home
guards. The organizations created
under this act should be able to give
a large amount of organized protec-
ton to our institutions.
I am confident that the Seventy
seventh Congress will give fifth COL
umn prevention careful considera-
| ton and action.
! But this is not enough! We must
have vigilant public! Every citi-
zen is interested enough and knows
enough about his immediate sur
roundings to be willing and able to
help save this country from this
| great menace
I caution you against any influ-
ence which would tend to weaken
morale in the steadfast purpose to
help Britain to the utmost, and
strengthen our own defense.
Finally, the program already be-
Evening star., 1941-01-07

Europe, the year 1898 was fateful.
Hitler annexed Austria; the democ-
racies attempted appeasement by
permitting the dismemberment of
Czecho-Slovakia. The democracies
of Europe permitted themselves to
be lulled into false sense of Sc
curity by the deceitful assurances
made by the autocrats that their
aims, geographically and otherwise,
were limited. These rulers and their
supporters already were using class
prejudice as weapon, playing up
the proletariat and labor against
capital. Already they had begun to
brand us who warned against the
impending dangers as "warmongers," 4"
'imperialists," international bank
ers." In that year, 1888, the rulers
of the totalitarian governments vio-
lated in every essential respect the
long-accepted principles of peaceful
and orderly international relations.
AS Secretary Hull pointed out:
Meftiless armed attack; unre-
strained terrorization through
slaughter of non-combatant men,
women and children; deceit,
fraud and gile; forced labor; con-
flscation of property; imposed
starvation and deprivations of
every sort-all these are weapons
constantly used by the conquer
ors for the invasion and subju-
CATION of other nations.
Force Supplanted Law.
The integrity of the spoken word
was gone; force supplanted law;
crime destroyed order; civilization
slipped back centuries; the dove of
peace put on a gas mask; the de-
luded democracies began to arm.
The following summer, this Gov
eminent denounced it's commercial
treaty of 1911 with Japan, and Pres
ident Roosevelt called upon Com
greS to repeal the embargo on arms.
Thereupon was given to the dis
tracted world emphatic evidence
that this country was in truth not
neutral; America was definitely en-
listed in the cause of freedom as
represented by the Allies. The de-
cision to repeal the embargo on arms
was of definite aid to the Allies

gun for training a substantial class
each year for military service re-
quires the cooperation of States,
municipalities and inhabitants.
There is much for all of us to do.
Outside of the technical education
involved, We have the great prob
lens of dislocation of industry and
employment, of our general educa-
tional system and of the moral
habits of citizens and trainees where
great numbers of men are suddenly
brought together to live in a re-
stricted area.
The generosity of the people of
this country is challenged by the
need which the young men will have
for wholesome social relations and
beneficial activities for their spare
moments.
We are determined to make our
defense invulnerable. Perfection
alone is invulnerable. This is a high
objective. Nevertheless, we must
strive for 1t. This calls for united,
unselflsh and vigorous effort of the
Government ana ltS natlOnS. 1t
means disregard of causes of petty
dissensions and the subordination of
personal ambition, comfort and
profit; it means the exercise of the
best that is in each one of us to
qualify our Government, our great
national workshop, our financial sys-
tenn, and, above all, our spiritual
fortress to resist the great peril to
everything that we cherish. We
shall triumph!
Thus, will our aid to Britain,
Greece and China, be effectual with
out single American soldier en-
gaging in combat. Thus, will we be
able to lay the foundation for a
world not ruled by force.
Thus, there will survive that world
of spiritual values which transcends
any totalitarian world.

To Tell of Norwuy's Invasion

1t. Col. DR.. Karl Evang, director
general of public health of Norway,
now IN this country lecturing in tha
interest of Norwegian relief, will
speak in the Hamline Methodist
Church Thursday at 8:15 pm. His
subject will be, What Happened in
Norway During the German In
vasion."
Evening star., 1941-01-07

then; whereas, the former retention
of it was a definite aid to Germany
The people of this country then
supported this Government because
they knew of the colossal forces of
evil threatening way of life which
had cost mankind great sacrifice and
effort to establish. The people of
this country uneqWvocally aligned
themselves on the side of interna-
tional morality, orderly processes
and respect for the rights OF others;
they gave the lie to Hitler's charge
of degenerate Yankeedom";; they
asserted their ability to carry on
the age-old struggle for better
way of life.
Britain's Cause Is Theirs.
On one side barbarism; on the
other, civilization. They chose civili-
zation. No delusions Of safety, no
attempts to create class prejudice
confused their decision. The cause
that Britain was fighting was their
cause; the peril that Britain was
experiencing was their peril.
Americans will not be forced into
the mold cast for them by Hitler:
an armed and cultured master class
at the top and illiterate, obedient
slaves below.
Then followed the unprecedented
legislation designed to make the
United States of America invincible:
Provision for two-ocean
navy;
Development Of another inter-
oceanic canal;
Adoption Of a construction
program for air and naval bases
strategically located so as to pro-
tect every part of this country,
and SO as to aid in the protection
of the Western Hemisphere:
Authority to order out the Ma
tional Guard in time of peace :
to serve in a Federal capacity;
Adoption of a Selective Train
ing and Service Act, providing for
the rapid mobilization of we'll
qualified military, naval and
aeronautical militia:
A trade Of ships for naval and
air bases on British soil was
made.
Warning to AggressOrs.
These acts have great significance
beyond their probative force in
closing the argument about where
we stand, as a country, and as a
great people. They. serve to notify
the brutal aggressors that the day
of reckoning is ultimately coming
for them.
If we assume that the axis powers
could defeat Britain, the prepara-
ton now being made by the United
States of America informs the auto
Gratis that they will not be able to
dictate to the people of the Western
Hemisphere the religion, political
philosophy, and the economic sys-
tenn of the totalitarianS, and GER
tainly that the slavery which they
have already imposed upon the
conquered republics of Europe can
never be imposed upon the republics
of the Western Hemisphere.
The swift preparation already
started in the United States assures
England, Greece and China, who
are the victims of aggression, that
