BY UNANIMOUS vote the House ways and
committee has decided to take further action the

This bill would empower the executive to suspend

Almost at the same time the powerful House appro-

This is getting SOMEWHERE, and those who have

Ricardo in Principles Of Politi-

The United States Of America
and England have been looked
on as the two great capitalistic
countries.
1t Is at the United States par
ticularly that the plotting of
the Communists and their lib
eral' fellow-travelers has been
aimed for years.
1t is the "capItaliStic' system

Yet il is on this very "capi-

MarNiStS and the Americans as

those very materials which VIII

L America that the enSIaved
Chinese, French, Dutch, Nor

even Soviet Russia turn implor-

The Communists in France,
Germany, Italy and China, by a
curious and ironiCal paradox,
now depend almost entirely on
the country they have hated
most-the l.. S. A.-to rescue
them from the concentration
camps of Hirohito and Hitler.
The so-called "capitalistic"

This means that one pint Of
notatin would destroy germs

The substance is a sort OF en-
