The Birth Of True
Democracy
BY NATALIE MATTHEW'S

BY NATALIE MATTHEW'S
Where is the man that knows the
answer.
And will he dare reply?
Will he not rise and face the grow
ing multitude,
And tell US all he knows OF racial
pride. OF racial hatred
That runs so riotiously thru-out
the land
Destroying all that stands for JUS
tice, right?
Is that man here? then let him
speak!
Perchance he can turn light upon
this darken Trims
That say TO one, thou art supreme,
And to another thou art scuml
II matters not who that man be
His color matters not one whit:
II he be man; black, white or
oriental.
Pray let him speak!
Is there not one, not one who knows
the answer
Just what is meant by true Democ-
racy?
Does 1t mean freedom for a favor
ed few,
And serfdom for the ones OF dark
err hue?
Speak man: II you be gentle, Jew,
Fear not to speak or even die.
'Tis better that you die
Than take part In this sham and
mockeryi
Who built these walls OF bitter hat
red?
Who built them?! answer guilty
one.
Did you not know that walls OF
hate inclose the builder
And make OF him a jailer of him
self?
He may succeed in locking out the
undesired
But he himself securely locks
within,
And thus impedes his very own
progress.
Destroying the things he tries in
vain TO save.
Thou art a foolish man and can
not, will not see
Thou art myself menace to true
Democracy.
Would you inflict upon your very
own a cruel fate
Just for the Joy OF wallowing in
this hate?
You'd you stop production and
lose the chance to win
In this conflict that is now world
wide,
Because you will not work beside
The man that must too fight along
with you?
Again. are you a fool
Or just another Nazi tool?
VIII no one speak?
Is fear too mingled in your heart!
A coward will traitor be:
A Nolan and an Arnold he.
Whore Ia she who holds so high
the torch.
she who gave hirth 10 true De-
mocracy,

Where IL the squalllng Eagle.

Whore n the He'll that rang ont

Speak. every symbol OF true De-
mocracy,
For no man dares 10 speak.

let your laundering voice be heard

brotherhood unfurl,
And cover all who heht. and cover

And pray that God will save a. by

Pointing The Way
By WILLIAM HENRY HUFF
For ANP)

The thing that makes me overflow
With gladness and with Joy
Is when along the path go
And meet a girl or boy
Who needs a friend to point the
way
That leads toward the goal.
And TO her or him can cay
From deep within my soul:
This Is the straight and narrow
road.
Stay in 1t to the end
And thus remove your heavy load
This Is the way, my friend

 Halsey said, I'm beginning to have an idea what that was. I re- call that at the time I thought 1t was rather strange Struhers should order 800 barrels of oil before he'd even SC foot on the island" Exactly. The plan was to make Abas Island base. Acting as con- servator of the cornpany's assets, Struthers could carry on the busi- nes saS. usual. He could order double the amount of oil and food he need- ed and have Jackson tranship the surplus to raiders lying of the coast.
 Their biggest trouble was that they overdid 1t. Instead of making up some kind of a report which might have worried me plenty, he was so damned sure that Halsey would deliver the report straight to Winters secretary he just filled the envelope with plans of defense works that had been traced in in- visible ink by Martha Swenson = Swantzig. She didn't dare bring them into New York for fear of dis covery, and Baron von Stampf could never be sure how long his disguise as Constantine would serve him. So Halsey was made. the goat, and when I broke into his cabin and stole the report from him, they hit their second snag.
 Prom then on von Stampf had to get me, but he had to keep me alive until the plans were delivered. His other accomplice, the steward, was in irons and he needed help so he made his greatest mistake by putting the finger on Martha 6wen- son. Even his reappearance at the door as Constantine and his heroic disarming of her were unconvinc- ing. She could have shot me a dozen times if she'd wanted to-" June Paterson rnurmured.

 Utterly powerless, the man who had offered June Paterson's life In exchange for paper, followed. His wig was gone. His eyes were dis tended in terror and great bubbles arose from his mouth. And as they went ever deeper, the intellectual struggles ceased.
 And then Talcott turned. The red bottom of the launch was gone: the white of the Mfeboat had taken its place. Grinning. he grasped the baron's chin and pulled him to the surface.
 When Bill Taleott came up in dry clothing, she was waiting. And so was her cousin. Her cousin said something that sounded like Beau. tiful offensive. Couldn't have done better myself"
 But that didn't matter much. What did matter was that she sighed and said, You are wonder full" as though she'd lost an argu- ment with herself.
 And although Captain Prtnele and Leonard Halsey too had come up by that time, 1t was mainly to her that he said, T suspected Con- stantine and Webber of being the same person when I realized that I had never seen the two of them at the same time.
