Dies Scores Aqain

CHAIRMAN MARTIN DIES of the committee nvesti-
- eating un-American activities, did more than merely
reveal the leftwng makeup of the Board of Economic
Warfare, of which Vice President Wallace is the chair
by divugng the and past affiliations of
of its experts"
He made the public acutely conscious for the first
time Of the stranges kind of board with the stranges
kind of that have had even under the multi
pcty Of strangely named boards and commissions under
the New Deal
That is the Board of Economic WARFARE
WARFARE against whom?
WARFARE against what?
WARFARE against which form of Economy"
Is 1T WARFARE against the traditional 15O-vear-old
American economic way?
When did this economic WARFARE begin in this
country?
And when did CONGRESS or THE PEOPLE author
lie such a WARFARE?
A CCORDING to Chairman Dies this Board of Economic
n Warfare-in which the vice president of the United
States is the directive minds HONEYCOMBED with
men WHOSE IDEAS ARE AT WAR WITH OUR TRADI-
TIONAL FORMS OF ECONOMIC ORGANIZATION
Does that that these planners" will foment
and inaugurae warfare" of ideooges on our soil?
Has this WARFARE board been filled with radical
leftwngers that super-congressional COUP can be
executed by along state socastc communistic
lines after the war-or during the war?
Is THIS WAR or A REVOLUTION that is going on
i in the United States?
Chairman Dies has unveiled large question mark
What is the Board Of Economic WARFARE?
And why is it manned by radicals, many of whom
affiliated with the lately dissolved Communist dom
mated League for Peace and Democracy?

Keep Rubber Quiz Fair

THE investigation being conducted by committee OF
the United States Senate into international COM
mercia relationships involving synthetic rubber is highly
proper ><#E
The government has charged, through Assistant
Attorney General Thurman Arnold that agreements be-
tween American and German corporations were detri-
mental to American interests.
The defense is made that these agreements
distinct advantage United States and that the Ger
processes would not have been available to the United
States without these agreements.
THE essential duty of the Senate of course is to esab
lish the facts about this whatever they and who
ever they affect
1t is to be presumed the Senate will do this and it
would assist the matter proper conclusion if the gov
eminent would conne itself to comprehensive expora-
ton of the facts and not resort to tactics susceptible to
Smear Interpretation.
Assistant Attorney General Arnold conducted him
self if there only side to the sory-HIS side.
He not only prosecuted the defendants but went as
far toward convctng them violent presentation CO.
Obviously there is another side to the story. 1t may
may not be a good side. But American procedure
requires hearing and reservation of judgment until
it is heard
MR.. ARNoLDs tactics savored of political persecution
IdtHer IMAM leSdi prosecution. III the event he
establishes his the full extent of his claims the
impression he has sought to give that damaging and
disloya oense against national interest has been
committed will stand
But in the event his does not stand up and an
injustice has been DONE the original injury done the de-
PENDANTS will only in part be repaired.
This is always the great objection to purely political
prosecution particularly when strict adherence to orderly
legal would establish truth better quickly
and with less violence to democratic principles which
exist for the purpose of preventing prosecution from being
persecution
IT is common political practice-entrely TOO common
for prosecution which is weak in to be strong in
smear"
The American public is familiar with many instances
in which the henous onses have been charged and
the most eprehensbe motives suggested in the nroduc
tory phases of governmental prosecution with subsequent
inability to support either charge motive.
Mr. Arnold has certainly done all in his power to get
convicton-at least in the public mindin advance of
total hearing; process that called smear" in politics.
and is no advantage to just determination of facts.
The United States Senate will surely reserve, its
judgment until everything bearing this serious matter
is presented.
And in the meantime, the American people should
hold judgment in allegiance and not risk being party to
injustice and injuries difficult of repair.
