WASHINGTON. Feb. S.--Alf
NJ. Landon. 1886 COP presidential
nominee, today called upon the
administration to advise both the
and British people
the United States intends
to enter the war.
'If the Yanks are not COM
ing" Landon told the Senate
foreign relations committee,
"the British are entitled to
know il.
'If IL is necessary-if IL ID
essential to our security that
England wins this war-then
let's stop fooling around with
this lease-lend bill.
MUST KNOW NOW
"If we intend to tell England
. fhe Yanks are coming, tn
sooner we let England know Il,
the better we can coordinate
our activities with theirs.
"If an English victory is not
essential to our security, then
the only fair and decent thing
to do Is to say to Britain: We
will help you with money and
materials only, and 1t Is your
job to come and get them"
Landon, one of the most ardent
of President Roose-
velt's conduct of foreign affairs
until the advent of the lease-lend
bill. flayed the measure unmerci-
fully as war bill and as dam
gerous grant of power to one man.
Appearing before the committee
as the final opposition witness.
Landon pleaded with Congress not
10 surrender the control over the
aid program to Mr.. Roosevelt.
LANDON's WARNING
The man who rose overnight a
decade ago from the comparative
obscurity of an independent oil
man to become twice governor OF
Kansas and then a presidential
candidate. gave this warning:
Remember, once that ono
man has set In motion the forces
that inevitably lead to war, Con-
gress has no choice but to sup
port the program; the nation
will be committed TO carry on
until the bitter end.
II have heard IL stated that IL
Is preposterous to suggest tho
President would use these pow
ers. Then j suggest IL Is equally
preposterous that the Congress
grant these powers"
Going beyond the bill. London
scored Mr.. Roosevelt on two other
counts: FIRST, that the President Is
not keeping his campaign promises
OF a few months ago: second, that
Mr.. Roosevelt himself. is violating
his defense of freedom of speech
by his repeated attacks on Senator

LONDON, Feb. 8.-The British government gave me
warrant to deliver certain documents in London when
got off the American bomber after my transatlantic
fight.

tons Walter Winchel asked run down:
why doesn't the Royal Air Force bomb the day
lights out of Berlin and out of Hters Berchesgaden?
We cornered Basil Cardew, aviation expert Of the
London Daily Express the paper which has climbed to
the worlds largest circulation under direction of Lord
Beaverbrook who minister for aircraft production
Cardew's answer for Mr. Winchel was convincing:
Dear Walt suppose that is the fly way of address
ing HIM. Yours is a grand plan. It's spectacular
devastating and to the 0srman peeple-send
ing all bombers to Germany In sins day night
to blast Berchtesgaden HsrS mountain sknR hole, or
Berlin. which is single military objective.
Yet doubt that Berckfesgaden Is a military OBJ
jective since he is unlikely to be there he he'd
be nicely tucked away in a rock bound shelter.
II said it seems grand plan on the surface.

There is reason to believe the

done in an informal manner rather
than through any official diplo-
matte note.

As ONE of Americas great
"A newspaper publishers this let
ter Is written In hope you may be
able to shed some light on a situa-
ton, which Is confusing and highly
puzzling to many Americans today.
1t Is regarding Russia.
What mysterious and highly In
nuential element Is always on
hand at Washington to safeguard
the murderous Russian bear.
For years this element has
worked In behalf of the Russian
program of ti-Christ.
When some courageous soul
made the attempt TO reveal the
Vaccinations of Russian commun-
ism, q smear campaign followed,
and character assassination was
visited upon the persons involved.
While all guns are trained on
Germany and Italy, the Russian
c0mmunistic program has been
soft pedaIed.
The Russian program calls fer
the destruction of all democratic
governments and a substitution
therefor of a communistic rule.
In Chicago We have watched
and studied the development Of
communism as fostered BY Russian
agents.
We saw william u. Foster. one
OF the orginators Of the 1919 steel
strike, go TO Russia and return as
the chief Red apostle In America.
We saw formation of the Red
forces under the guise OF legiti-
mate trade unions. the spread Of
ultra radicalism In fields OF allen
minded people, who come to
America, as a haven from perse-
cution, TO enjoy liberty purchased
with blood and sacrifice by our
forebears.
We saw legitimate labor Tester
ing under tho onslaught 81 the
Red sgitators.
And then as a measure OF self
protection and survival turn back
the crews OF com m site
wreckcrs.
Theirs Was a program of de-
struction: nothing constructive.
Russian orders seem to be:
DESTROY the American
tr0dc uiioH Increment as
prclude 10 WeGkeHing the
foundation Of our American
Institutions"
Those associated with labor
matters saw some Of our liberal
friends bitten with the Russian
communistic program.
These professed TO see in this
Goddess teaching a vista of new
fr eedom and life for the masses
OF workers.
Some of them hied to Russia
for first hand peep.
They came back disillusioned.
But still the Russian program
of agitation goes on In this
country.
In the Spanish civil war the
anti-Christian program OF the
bloody and ruthless Russian bear
was In evidence on all sides.
Catholic prelates. priests and
nuns, whose only offense was in
service of Almighty God. were
tortured and cruelty murdered.
Their churches and converts
and monasteries Ieveled.
We saw the communistic i'm
bued elements In America rally 20
the defense of these murdero $
anti-Christ revoiutionists In Spain.
So today, we wonder why
Russia stands freed of the shame
full rapIne of little Finland and OF
Poland, the courageous.
We are COMPOUNDED by the in
fiuence that Is being welded In
America TO aid Russia In Its GRIM

The reconciliation was to have

Legion Barbecue
To the Editor:

10 the Editor:
What promises to be the largest
and finest party of it's kind ever
held in this section of Maryland
will be held on Saturday after
noon September 20. This big
affair will start at 5 o'clock in the
afternoon and upwards of 500
people are expected to be present.
This affair is the annual Bar-B-Q
and Dance.
Have you ever been to such a
feast as this? Well to give you all
slight idea of what you do-you
come over and get your ticket for
$1.00 if you haven't already got
ten it and then you start eating
hot Bar BIO pork and beef and
of course other refreshments that
go along with it. You eat little
and then perhaps get into a game
of horse shoes or dominoes,
rummy or most any other parlor
game which so many of us seem
to know. Then you eat a little
more and so on into the night.
Then you dance on the Legion's
recently completed newly sanded
dance floor and boy do we have
fun.
You no doubt wonder who will
be there. Well you will probably
rub shoulders with your big boss
from one department or another.
Maybe your Congressman will be
there. In fact you are liable to
see most anyone there. No one
should miss this party of parties
being given Saturday afternoon,
September 20, starting at 5
o'colck. Tickets can be gotten
from any Legionnaire or at the
gate on Saturday. Comm. Craig,
recently elected, really has a gang
of regular hustlers working night
and day getting ready for The
party. A new ~ by 6 brick and
concrete pit has been completed
under the direction of Harry
Stewart and all in all swell time
is in store for anyone who comes.
Fellows, you can bring your wife
along if you care to. Plenty of
parking space for all. Come early
and stay late. Eat, drink and be
merry.

Polio Protest
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
On September 7, case in
Greenbelt was diagnosed as sus-
pected case of polio.
The Department of Public
Health was consulted and on the
9Th of September the public health
officer examined the child and
subsequently issued two state
ments that there was no polio.
Meantime the mother and sister of
the sick child were in daily con-
tact with people in Greenbelt.
We worried mothers made
every endeavor to make absolute
ly certain that the child was not
afflicted, even going so far as con-
sulting the town manager and the
County Department of Public
Health.
On September IL, the mother of
the i'll child, since two physicians
had diagnosed the case as polio,
insisted that the county public
health officer determine for him
self the condition of the child.
DR.. Byers accompanied by an
orthopedic surgeon and his assist
ant visited the child and the
mother was told that the child
definitely had had infantile par
alysis. Consequently his limb will
have to be placed in a cast for at
least two weeks.
We feel that the Department of
Public Health should be condemn
ed for not having exercised the
utmost precaution in determining
whether the case we mentioned
was actually infantile paralysis
before the letter was issued.
We cannot risk the spread of
the disease in Greenbelt. We insist
that an investigation be made of
this case and that immediate
action be taken by at least two
competent physicians to ascertain
whether there are any other cases
and that every means possible be
used to assure us that our children
are protected against this plague.

Defense Council
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
On Saturday, September 10,
letter was received by all local
citizens which bore my name as a
member of the Greenbelt Defense
Council. Although l knew nothing
of the letter until / received my
copy, / feel that I owe the Co
operator an apology as a member
of the group which issued the
letter.
Following the meeting of the
Defense Council on Wednesday, l
visited the offices Of the Coopera-
tor with Mr.. Walther, chairman
of the council, to see if an account
of the meeting could be published
in the Cooperator. Since we found
the paper was aready pasted up,
and because there appeared to be
nothing urgent about the item we
had, l presumed it would appear
in the next issue of the Coopera-
tor. / was therefore surprised to
see mention made of the Coop
orator in the aforementioned
letter.
l realize the statement that
"the Cooperator was unable to
give US publicity this week., al
though it was made without intent
to reflect on your newspaper, is
apt to and did create the impress
ion that news concerning the De-
Tense Council was purposely
omitted. regret that such an in
ference resulted from the letter.
therefore this apology.

All five points given IN my letter

Delay had followed delay.
Finally, however, Circuit Court Judge
Arthur Gomez had signed an order approx

the supreme court hurdle was left. Ac-
tually it wasn't much Of hurdle, because
the court action was understood TO be more
or less a formality. but Il was enough of a
hurdle to arouse a doubt as to whether there
might not be another setback.
