have any real initiation. If this vast
amount is placed in a reservoir for
the purchase of goods Immediately

at work when peace comes, and we
shall have prosperity not economic
panic-with pecae.

There has been no other organization
in America that has done more to pre-
serve our republican form OF govern
ment than the American Federation OF

the best way TO raise these standards
to an even higher level. Therefore, no
change in policy of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor was required to de-
fend our government from the brutal
attacks of FascSm and NaziSm. There
can be no choice between our free in
stitutionS and the brutal slave condi-
tons that would be forced on us by
Fascist nations like Germany Japan
and Italy. There can be no COM
