We Helped FDR

Similarly. who ran say that
labor's fight for effective price con-
troll and democratic rationing has
hampered FDR's anti-infiation pro-
gram? Or that we should leave
the victory tax program 10 the
tender mercies of Congressional
tax experts" whose only concern
is 10 soak the poor?
Where would we stand now on
all these vital issues Of the war IL
labor had failed to realize that they
were POLITICAL issues for ALL
THE PEOPLE-nOt just economic
issues for few "experts:"
Today, we are confronted with
the key issue of the war: the open
ing of an immediate Second Front
against Hitler in Europe. An in
VaSion of the continent has become
the declared policy of our govern
ment. as first expressed in the
Molotov Roosevelt agreement of
last June and since then reiterated
by the President in his speeches
10 the nation.
More than ever before FDR needs
our support, because on this issue
the appeasers have concentrated
all their strength.
The way TO embarrass the Presi-
dent is TO keep silent and permit
the Fifth Columnists and the
phonies TO set up new obstacles in
the way of an immediate invasion
of the lIitler-held continent.
BY actively campaigning for 9
Second Front now we strengthen
his hand and hasten the day Of
victory for the United Nations.

They Want Us Silent

Nor is that all. They have
adopted a new technique for gag
ging those who realize that an inn
mediate offensive in Europe would
spell victory for our side. Their
handy slogan is Leave il TO the
experts"
That's what they say every time
the people ask. Why don't we use
the millions of troops in the British
Isles TO attack Hitler now. while
most of his forces are occupied on
the Russian 'front.'"
Let the experts worry about it..
they sheer when the people ask.
Wont it cost less in American
blood if we invade now than if we
wait till Hitler has consolidated his
Russian front and shifted his armies
10 the West ,"
These fifth coiumnists want us to
stop shouting FOR a Second Front
SO that their propaganda AGAINST
a Second Front will he more effec-
tive.

Is II Our Problem?

But these people honestly believe
that a layman has no business talk
ing about military affairs. They
say:
Our Commander in Chief and
General Staff know the Importance
of a Second Front as much as we
do. They must have sound reasons
for not invading the continent yet.
Surely, they want TO win the war?
Why embarrass them by insisting
we attack before we are ready
But are we embarrassing our
leaders by urging invasion now:
On the contrary, are we not
strengthening FDR's hand and re-
inforcing his win-the-war policies:
Let's look at the record:
We fought for the conversion OF
peace-time industries TO war pro-
duction. though KnudSen and other
big shot induStrialiStS told us IT
was none of our business. Had we
left it 10 the experts" we would
still be producing cars instead Of
planes and tanks. Did we embar-
raSs the President by this fight or
strengthen his hand?
We called for the setting up
of labor management committee
while experts" scoffed. Today,
they are the settled policy of our
government. having proven their
worth in increased production.

Plains Indian
Museum To Open
To Public April |
Last Seasons $4,000 Visitor!
To Be Exceeded, Believes
Ewers, Curator; New Diorama
Dramatizes Disposal of Dead

That the Plains Indian
Museum record of Is. 900 regis
tered visitors during its initial
season last year will be surpassed
this season is the opinion of j.
&. Ewers, curator, who an
nounces that the institution will
be open to the visiting public
April l.
Mr.. Ewers anticipates a heavy
increase of visitors from western
states. especially from Pacific
seaboard cities. an impetus to
travel from the latter. points
growing out of people s desire to
minimize risk of their chilGren's
lives liz the event ess bom5;ugs by
the Japanese.
The Museums first season be-
gan at the time Of dedication on
June 20 last year and closed Jan
uary 10. During the closed period
considerable Improvements have
been made, including an addi-
tional exhibition room. which
will be open to visitors later in
the season. and hall devoted to
explanations of the Plains Indian
religion.
Called Hall OF the Plains
Indian Religion, it contains
three dioramas and a case exhib-
iting objects used in the Sacred
Sun Dance. These include the
Sun Dance bundle, elk skin robe.
beaded elk skin dress, head dress
and the sacred digging stick.
Displayed for the first time
this season is the diorama drama
tizing the Plains Indian disposal
of the dead. 1t is strikingly
beautiful piece of work. a crea.
ton of the Western Museum lab
orstory of the National Park Ser
vice at Berkeley. California.
In the forks of tree is tied
the buffalo hided casket of
dead Indian warrior and below
is the Borrowing widow in
kneeling posture.
The theme is explained in the
following:
The Blackfeet dressed the
body of dead warrior in his
finest clothes. wrapped it in
large buffalo robe and tied
it securely in the forks of tree.
The ghost of the departed was
believed to travel to the Sand
Hills. peaceful place where he
would be reunited with friends
and relatives who preceded him
in death. The widow mourned
her husbands death for many
days. She cut off her long hair
just below the ears, put on her
oldest and plainest clothes and
wore no ornaments or face paint.
In their extreme grief widows
might cash their legs with
sharp stone or cut off a finger.
The new exhibition room will
contain animal and plant life Oh.
