peacetime and wartime. Oil concerns
in Britain and the u S. supplied Italy,
Germany and Japan with oil. Air

makers supplied them with military
equipment. This is all profitable
business. British boys in the armed

AN OPEN
LETTER

April 4, 194i
Honorable Francis Biddle,
Attorney General of the q. 8.
Washington, D. G.
Dear Sir:
It has come over the radio thai
since war has been declared between
the United States and the Axis Pow
ers, the Standard Oil Company has
been shipping gasoline to station OF
the Axis Powers at some point in
South America for use by the Axis
Powers. 1t was said that this dis
closure was made by an officer Of the
Standard Oil Company.
1t has been said recently in an in
vestigation, that the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey supplied to
large mercantile house in Japan and
a large manufa curing house in Ger
many, a true formula for making a
rather good, synthetic rubber by a
fairly cheap process, and at the same
time denied the use of this process
in America where Is was perfected.
Our press here publishes that Parish,
the president of the Standard OIL
Company of New Jersey, said that to
a representative of the Navy they dis
closed formula which was not the
true formula; that is to say, that If
the representative of the Navy was
imprudent enough to accept 1t, the
Navy would be swindled, and if he
was learned man and careful, 1t
would not be accepted.
Mr.. Attorney General, why are not
the personal actors in the first con-
duct herein set forth charged with
treason to the United States for Civ
ing aid and comfort to our enemies
in time of war?
Mr.. Attorney General, why is not all
of the property of that corporation
taken over at once by the govern
ment under the orders of our Com
mander-in-C Chief?
Respectfully yours,
H. L. MAURY,

Mansfield

CONTINUED from Page One)
In 1929 he served as sampler at the
Anselmo, West Colusa, and Tramway,
and shortly after became an assistant
mining engineer at the Steward.
Mansfield's education was acquired
over long period of years. The war
interfering with his high school train
ing, he took and passed the regular
entrance examinations in order to get
into the university as student. In
the school year 1928-29 he attended
the School of Mines at Butte. In
1881 he enrolled at Montana State
university where he obtained Bach
elor of Arts degree in 1888 and a
Master of Arts degree in history and
political science in 1884 During the
latter year he had a part-time teach
ing position, and since that time he
has been regular member of the
faculty. During his residence In Mis-
soula he has taken an active part in
civic affairs, serving on the Missoula
County Defense Commission and as
member of the Enemy Alien Hear
ing Board for Montana.
In his platform, Professor Mansfield
stated that first and foremost all our
energy must be used to bring this
war to victorious conclusion as
quickly as possible. Business, labor
and farm groups must continue to
work shoulder to shoulder in this eff
fort. We must also consider and de-
velop means to alleviate the condition
of our workers in Montana who are
becoming unemployed because of pri-
critics and lack Of defense orders in
this area. The small businessman
must be considered and help must be
given to him 80 that his business and
those dependent on 1t can survive. In
security among the aged and the
young must be obliterated, he con-
cluded.

can hang his hat, which lend some
plausibility to his smear of great
number of persons.
His invariable comeback to his col
leagues when they call his attention
to innocent persons being accused is:
well, that is just too bad, but you
can't deny that 1 have the goods in
this case-and it's worth It,"
In his latest attack Dies charged
that some 35 employees of BEW were
either communists or members of
"front-organizations. He named only
eight, so it remains to be seen wheth-
er all IS will be named. But the
large number made the story better
and gave him larger display type.
Possessing a flare for publicity,
Dies laid chief emphasis on the case
of Maurice Parmalee, an EWB en-
ploye who decade ago wrote a book
on nudism, which, incidentally, has
to do with his qualifications
for his present work. 1t so happens
that Parmalee is not much more to
the left in his views than Dies him
self-except on the subject Of nudism.
Dies also mentioned David Vaughn,
another EWB employee, as having been
a member of the defunct League for
Peace and Democracy. Here Dies
pulled a boner, since Vaughn has
never been a member of the league,

THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE RACKET

THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE RACKET
Have you ever been born? Well, If
you have you will have to prove 1t.
Uncle Sam will not accept your I'M
supported word for it nor will he per-
NIT his agents to accept the evidence
of their own eyes, or such other of
their five senses as they may happen
to possess. Having had some expert
ence with the Judgment OF some OF
Uncle Sans agents we can't blame
Uncle for that reluctance, but the fact
remains that If you want to be OF as
sistance to Uncle in prosecuting the
war against Hitler and the little
brown (aryan) brother" you must pre-
sent evidence to prove that you did
not sneak into this old world on false
forged passports but that you made
your entrance in the approved and
orthodox manner, and If it so hap
pened that you thoughtlessly chose
for your debut a state which kept no
record of vital statistics, as the regis
tration of this type of immigration Is
called, then it may be difficult, and
slightly expensive, to thoroughly con-
vince Uncle Sam that you really have
been born.
We should not blame Uncle Sam
for wanting absolute proof, or at least
some fairly convincing evidence that
his nephews and nieces have actually
been born, for in these trying times
when millions of humans are being
killed every day, the administration
cannot afford to give out misleading
by listing as killed some
one who had never been born in the
first place. 1t is permissible In cleo
ton years of course to record votes
of people who have been dead for
Is or 20 years, but to list as killed
people who were never really born is
that just shouldn't be done
in the best governmental procedure.
And then too we must think of the

The Grattan Case
Here Dies has his strongest case.
1t has merit-and he is keeping it up
his sleeve.
If we were department head, we
would let c. Hartley Grattan, an en-
ploye in the British Empire section
of EWB, go In hurry. And it is
our opinion that Wallace will let him
go-as soon as the FBI, which has
been asked by Wallace to investigate
this and other cases, submits the facts
to him. 1t is likely that Grattan, who
writes for both left-wing and right
wing publications, will have had his
walking papers by the time this
reaches print.
We would go further, If we were
Wallace, and find out how Grattan
got his job in the first place. Some
DOuy puiiCu ldoI OuO ou w ouoSO'
We know that Wallace doesn't want
such persons around.
That Grattan collaborated with the
Nazis in their attempt to undermine
the Administration is shown In the
German White Paper" published in
1910 by Howell, Soskin & Company,
New York City. The Forward" to
the White Paper is written by Graf
tam Manfred Zapp, of Transocean
News Service fame, against whom the
of Justice obtained an in
dictment, looked after its distribution.
1t purported to be the full text of
the Polish documents and the report
of American Ambassador Bullitt's war
as issued by the Berlin
foreign office.
Grattan in the Forward" said: at
is likely that they are authentic docu-
ments When they are placed in the
picture we have of President Roose-
velt's foreign policy, they are not false
notes."
Can there be any doubt that Wal
lace would have acted, had Dies given
him the facts on Grattan? Dies would
prefer that Grattan remain an EWB
employ so he would have something
