WITHOUT THE PLAIN FACTS
THERE is NO DEMOCRACY

AMERICAN DEMOCRACY is be-
ing sabotaged through the feeding
of misinformation, paraded in the
guiSe of facts, to the American
people. That is not the act of any
one political party, or any one group
of political leaders. The policy Of
all parties is to attempt to support
their policies by false interpreta-
tons of the acts of the peoples gov
eminent.
American people do not object to
any expression of political opinion
on the part of political leaders, but
they do object when the men they
have set up as leaders attempt to
support their opinions by false pres
entations.
People are entitled to the bare,
unvarnished facts, and they are moi
getting that kind of information.
Some day the people will discover
they have been hoodwinked and
when they do, the political leaders
who are responsible for the condi-
ton will pay the penalty. Before
that happens, democracy may be so
far gone that it will take generations
for its recovery.
Democracy will function only
when all people who must carry the
responsibility for its functioning are
in full possession of the plain facts.
THE DOLLARS SPENT
AT HOME WORK FOR US
A CLERK in a market of our town
receives dollar as part of his sal
airy. He spends it with the clothier
for a necktie The clothier's clerk
gets it as a part of his salary. He
spends it for food at market. The
owner of the market pays it to a
carpenter for store repairs. The
carpenter pays it to the lumber
dealer. The lumber dealer pays it
to his truck driver and so on and on.
That dollar spent in our town may
pass through many hands, and
each person receiving it derives a
benefit.
Because of the dollars spent in
our town, our merchants and home
owners are able to pay taxes. With
the taxes they pay, we support our
town government, we maintain
schools for our children, we pave
and maintain our streets. It is the
dollars spent at home which make
our town a desirable place in which
to live.
The dollars spent outside our town
do not help in doing any of these
things. They do nothing toward
maintaining our property values.
These are things to think about
when we have dollars to spend.
HOW DICTATORS ARE BORN
ON MARCH %, 1888, the German
Reichstag gave Hitler the privilege
of making the laws of Germany for
four years. That made Hitler die
tator; that marked the real begin
ming of World War No. 2. When the
legislative branch of any country
abdicates and passes its functions
on to the administrative branch, a
dictatorship results. At the end Of
four years the Reichstag could not
take back what it gave away in 1888.
TOO BIG
LOOKING BACK through history
we find that Kaiser Wilhelm, Napo-
leon, Tamerlane, Genghis Khan,
Charlemagne, Attila the Hun,
Caesar, Alexander and perhaps 9TH
ers, have at one time or another
attempted to conquer the world and
make it over to their liking. No one
of them succeeded. Hitler's effort
is destined to meet the same fate.
The world is too big for any one
man to swallow. Even in lesser at
fairs, things can become too UNI
wieldly for successful handling.

Neutrality Act
Sddpping Seen
As In the Bag
BY WILLIAM s. NEAL

Intl News Service Stan Correspondent
y, WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The
epochal Senate battle over re-
peal Of major Neutrality Act re-
strictions on shipping today moved
toward a climax on a crescendo
of war talk, with administration
leaders apparently sure of victory
by a fairly narrow margin.
Senator Connally Cd, Texas,
plain-speaking chairman of the
foreign relations committee, drove
hard for a final vote tomorrow.
Senator Taft (R), Ohio, a foe
Of the bill. agreed that the deci-
sion may come by tomorrow night.
Encouraged by the dramatic
speech of Senator Maloney Cd,
Conn, who broke with adnlinistra-
ton leaders and announced his
opposition 10 repeal of combat
zone provisions of the Neutrality
Act, opposition leaders hoped to
stage an upset by combining the
bill 10 arming OF ships.
FIGHT TN THE BAG
Senate polls, however, supported
Connally's claim that the fight sis
in the bag" A conservative poll
showed so votes for the bill-one
more than a majority-with the
administration total likely to be
slightly larger. The same poll
showed "a definitely against the
bill. with the total opposition vote
likely 10 reach 40 to 43.
Conceding that the Senate
would vote 10 arm merchant ships.
opposition leaders refused TO adj
NIT that the Senate also will
authorize sending merchantmen
into British ports.
II think some doubtful votes
viii swing our way. and YOU
may he surprised at the result"
said Taft.
