be shouldn't sign his name to 50 many lies that can be proved false. And furthermore, it can be proved in spades-that he knows they are lies. Maybe few of the let- ters will get into the court records. Then a Western State will have a new boy in Washington.
 Some of you defendants who run stink sheets will scream about .the freedom of the press-claim the Constitution and the Bill of Rights protect you. The indictment ac- cuSes you of plot to "cauSe ir- subordination, nutiny and refusad of duty" among the soldiers and sailors. That freedom of the press" plea against such charges is going to make a great hit with 8 jury that considers the charges. Free dom of the press Is one of the best things we have, but 1t was never granted so 1t could be turned into 8 weapon to wreck the other free- doms. The majority of the papers, which don't owe you 28 a thing, will hardly go to bat for you on that plea.
 Let's have a peek at one of your editors, William Dudley Policy, bet ter known as Smelly Pelley. He built mob through the power of his rags, until Uncle Samson pushed them out of his post offices. Who is Pelley? He was a flop writer in Hollywood. His stuff was third rate, and the studios fired him. He blamed the Jews in the movie indus try for his own incompetence. He tried to get even by organizing anti SenNtes. You can always find a mob of whacks willing to blame their failure on somebody besides themselves. Hitler made it work in Germany. Pelley copied the stunt, and pretty soon he had himself a mob of Nazis.
 Another one of you 2S, Col. E. N. Sanctuary, rabble-rouSed against the Catholics. He was a reserve of- ficer in the United States army, which must make HIM a beau in the eyes of the men now in uniform Mrs. Elizabeth Dilling, who sued this reporter for accusing her of the same things the indictment charges, has supplied one of the feircest Ad- ministration- hating sheets with her data. That paper Is such 8 push over for taunts by this time, it's no longer any fun to kid 1t. Mrs. Dill- ing wrote book called "The Red Network" naming practically every body she didn't like a Commy. The late Heywood Broun once gagged that the people in Lizzie's volume might some day make up an Ameri- can roll of honor.
 Some of you defendants must feel pretty down in the mouth to notice the company you're in, all in the same jam. Some of you tonier propagandists probably can't bear the sight of those lunatic small fry specimens that turned up in the U. s. Marshal's net But that's the way It goes. 1uey were SeI4ulS Iuc same kind of snake oil.
 The list of publications which aren't charged with anythnig-mere- ly mentioned as outlets for the mysteries of some of the defendants -tickles this reporter to pieces. He has been blasted repeatedly in mos of them. Everything we've said about you 28-beginning back in 1883 when the first of Hitler's hire lings arrived here-is what you have to answer in court. It wouldn't be hard to get swelled head over the raps about us some of you babies have authored in those periodicals, and which are in the Congressional Record. We are pretty proud of the way you never liked us. But what a dirty trick you've pulled on those opposition columnists who used your handouts against us. They are still wearing the lipstick your kisses left, and do they look sus- picious! See you all in court.
