have the little brown men" of the Phi lippines on our side, and proud We are 10 call them brothers, for they have shown their love for freedom in the ultimate way-by fighting for it.
 The racial theories of Hitler and Musso- lini are proved false and ridiculous by their own standards when they unite as partners with race they have always called inferior. It is not the color of a mans skin but the color of his royalties that counts The self-proclaimed pure Aryan" Nazis have bowed down to the false gods of tyranny and oppression, while races and peoples which they have chosen to call unenlightened and inferior stand head and shoulders above them, fighting for fredom. There are vicious, mean, and evil men and groups of men in all races. And so there are in all races men and groups of men capable of standing firm for decency and freedom. It is supreme irony that the arrogant racial theories built up by the Nazis should be so eloquently disproved by the Nazis themselves

Brothers in Blood

As 1941 ended, Manuel L. Quezon took the oath in a secret headquarters of Gen eral MacArthur'S army somewhere m the Philippines, as President of the Philip pine Commonwealth. We have become brothers in bloodshed for the defense of common ideals" So spoke U. s. Con- missioner Francis B. Sayre at this strange ceremony.
 Manuel Quezon is President of the Phi lippine Commonwealth until the end o1 1945. Before the end of that time he will actually be governing in that capac- ity over this liberated people. To this we of the United States have given our word. It is as solemn an obligation as people can assume It is a cause worthy our undertaking it, not only because We go to rescue from oppression a people con- quered by ruthless force despite their dependence on us. It is worthy cause also because the same force which over came them menaceS us, and all the world. There can be no peace until 1t is el1n- mated
 Shoulder to shoulder, American boys and Filipino boys are dying in Luzon They are indeed brothers in blood and so the whole Filipino people and the whole American people become blood brothers also. That blood has plotted out one of the most vicious theories of which the NaZi and Fascist mind stands guilty, and the Pacific war shows once again their utter folly For what do we have there? We have Hitler, the racial maniac, clasp ing firmly the "yellow fist" be not so long ago professed to despise. And We have China, another "yelloW race" as an an chor of resistance to oppression. We

The Congressional Election

Whether he wins or loses in the spec ial congressional election next Tuesday, Edward J. Ryan of ThOmaston, American Progressive candidate for Congress, will come out of the campaign much better known man than when he entered it. Thus far the campaign has been without issues or without any fire and fanfare whatsoever, save for the stand of MT. Ryan who has injected all these and more besides into an otherwise colOrIess cam- paign.
 Furthermore in the campaign MT. Ryan has handled himself true to form. He has told the people where he stands and what he proposes to do if elected Even his political enemies admit that he is fearless, that he is an intrepid speaker and generally gives a good account of himself when the opportunity presents itself We say this not as an indorsement of MT. Ryan's candidacy, but as just one of the many who admire fight and courage in candidate for public office.
 MT. Monagan and MT. Talbot, his opponents, have been accused by some newspaper writers of "being without issues" They have both been challenged by MT. Ryan to a public debate in order to make known to the public their stands on issues or great importance to the dlS- trict. They have declined. It might have been better for all concerned if they had accepted, because this would have given both major parties an excellent opportun- ity to have put Ryan out of the running long before election, if they have all the requisites they claim However many people will assume they could not best him on the platform, therefore they de- clined. Somebody slipped up there and it wasn't Ryan.

Snow Comes High

People often speak of snow as the poor mans fertilizer. Judging by estimates of what it cost Hartford to rid it's streets of recent snowfall it comes rather high in the Capital City. They were set at Sl5,000. That seems like lot of money to be spent in clearing the streets of snow, but then Hartford is determined this year that it won't be caught mapping by any snowfall and will have it's streets open for all kinds of traffic just as soon as the last flake has settled. If you attempt to do things like this you really have to pay for them.
 It's amazing, though, to examine mu- nicipal budgets of today, particularly in our eastern temperate zone cities, and see what sums are allotted for purposes like snow removal. They constitute quite a considerable amount in the estimates of Street and Public Works Departments, And usually they are practically eX- Eausted when spring arrives. And that means that if in the following fall snow comes early there has to be some penny pinching and perhaps shifting of funds in order to continue efficient work in mak- ing the streets passabe
 Hartford's budget calls for expenditure of S50,00O for snow removal during the current year, which is considerably more than our own. Although last winter probably wouldn't be termed very bad one, still it brought enough storms to exhaust most of the funds during Jan uary, February, and March. We were fortunate last fall in getting no snow and only having couple of sleet storms which demanded any general attention in the way of sanding. However, the main point lies in the fact that all-year motoring is expensive and adds to the cost of good government

Build That Road

Once again an urgent plea is being made to Congress to authorize sufficient funds to build modernized road from the United States to Alaska through Brit ish Columbia. If it were to be built to- day it would have to be built in a hurry for there is no good sense in authorizing such project unless in the name of de- fense and war. We certainly don't need a U. s. Alaskan highway for pleasure purposes now what with the entire Pacific Coast bristling with American, Canadian, and Mexican guns.
 No, the only reason we'd want the road right now would be to facilitate passage of supplies from this country to Alaska, either for it's own defense or to be used in launching a spirited offensive against the Japs from the northeast Such a highway would be of much practical value in the passage of both troops and supplies, even at this season of the year. But it would have to be a rush job and whether or not rush job would be sui ficient to care for the needs of the heavy traffic that can be imagined is doubt
 However, someone should do some thing for the delegate from Alaska, An thcny J. Diamond He's been fighting a lone battle for some years, 1t would seem, in behalf of the Alaskan highway, not to mention statehood for the terrl- tory. He deserves better treatment than what he has received in nothing done, though much has been promised.

ACROBATIC PARTY IS TERM PINNED ON COMMUNISTS
 BY WAR VETERAN
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
 In answering the letter of the secretary of the most efficient aero batic party in the world, namely, Russo of the Communist party, I want first to thank him for the ad- vertising that he has given Social Justice Magazine as more people will now read it as never before and see for themselves the honest facts that Russo failed to relate.
 l refer to the American Commun- ist party as the Acrobatic party be- cause they arc always ready, willing and capable of changing an alliance over night to fight and kill today those with whom they were com rades yesterday, seeking the aid of Catholics and all Christians now when only few years ago they suppressed Christianity to the point of murdering millions of them by bullet and starvation.
 We remember Russo, when our government financed Finland in it's war against Russia and how you eX- IlitlllCu lIIdU bIlt fLuSSlhI-NICTUldIl treaty was excellent and was nec- cssary to defeat the capitalistic En- pires of England and the United States. You justified the invasion of Finland, Poland, and all countries that were taken over by Russia and Germany combined and at this time your party favors a declaration of war on Finland by the United States a war which if declared by our con- gress, l will support. because l am an American, but in my heart l know that it would be repetition of the story of Cain and Abel. At present as in the past, anyone who told the truth has been smear ed, and diScredited and even killed even the most just person who ever came on earth, Christ himself, became victim after Pontius Pi- late eXonerated himself from any guilt when he said T will not be guilty of the blood of this just man, his blood will be on youP' and the revenge seekers answered, "Yes, his blood will be on our heads and on

They don't do things by halves down in New York City. This business of get ting ready for long war is taken seri- ously and officials lend their hearty CO., operation to each and every little pro- poSal. Take for instance the recent slash of expenses in the Fire Department New York has probably the most heavily man. ned and best-equipped department in the world It has to have it on account of it's density of population, the extent of territory to be covered and the type of buildings that comprise the metropolis. Recently Mayor LaGuardia ordered a strict curtalment in the use of city, owned automobiles He didn't say any thing to the Fire Department heads about this, so they took matters into their own hands As result Fire Commissioner Patrick Walsh has ordered fifteen cars, used by chiefs, deputy chiefs, and dis patchers in the department put in stor- age until such time as conditions permit their use again. In the meantime their former occupants will double up with others in use of cars going to and from fires. It's the little things like these that win wars back home.

divide up the location where 1t will do the most good.
 TINY or ESTION
 For Instance, the United States needs the output of Chilean mines, way up in the Andes but all the food for the miners must go to these bleak regions in tins. Ergo, Chile should have enough tinplate for enough tin cans to hold enough food to keep the miners going. And Chile would also like to know why, if it furnishes the United States with thousands of tons of copper, 1t can't have few hundred tons back in the form of copper wire to carry more power to work more mines to the United States more ore. Brazil sells us raw rubber, and can't un- derstand why 1t gets no tires.
 Main trouble with this is that Supply, Priorities and Allocations Board still doesn't know how much of each it's going to take to arm the United States. The armament program has been no sooner settled upon than the sights have been raised for a bigger program, up- settling all previous calculations.
 It may be little tough convinc- ing the 20 sister republics on that point, so look for little sharp bar gaining at Rio.

His committee has been making sweeping inquiry of Jap fifth-col- umning on the West Coast, in- cluding subyersive teaching in Jap aneSe language schools located all over Southern California. Inves- tigators found that from the pri- mary grades up students in these school are indoctrinated with mili- tarism and the theology of their Japanese ancestors.
 Primer books, for instance, are filled with pictures of the Jap anese flag and soldiers, accounts of the greatness of the Jap navy and stories with titles like My Brother Enlisted in the Army"
 However, the thing that stunned Dies was q portion of story titled "Submarines". Although written several years ago, it was a perfect description of the sneak Jap attack at Pearl Harbor.
 Printed in both Japanese and English, 1t read: "It is our duty to go underwater when the en- emy's battleships draw near and sink them by shooting torpedoes, and at times to go secretly to the enemy's harbor and attack his battleships without warning"
 MURRAY'S PLAN
 Latest to trot out plan for reorganization of the spraWling, headleSs war production set-up is CIO President Phil Murray.
 He has proposed to President Roosevelt the following: That OPM and it's top controlling SPAB board be abolished lock, stock and barrel. That, in their place be appointed 8 three man board to have complete authority over the ordering and procuring of all war supplies.
 Chairman Of the board to be Harry Hopkins, intimate adviser of the President and all-poWer- full behind-the-scenes figure in matters affecting the war. Execu- tive director of the board and it's driving force and expeditor to be Charles F.. Sorensen, general sup erintendent and industrial genius of the Ford organization. {

 Charles Lindbergh was smeared in 1886 when he warned his coun- try of German strength. Billy Nit chel of the United States air force was discredited and broken because he was brainy and forsighted enough to predict the catastrophy of lack of aviation preparedness. Ma ior SeVersky was laughed at when he flew to the Philippine Island and then tried to interest the Govern ment in planes that would do the same.
 Now Russo, why don't you be hon. est and explain to your dear public why Russia did not declare war on Japan, and why she never will, dur ing this war, you can, but you won't.

The answer is found in article of the tri-partite agreement September 27, 194O signed by Germany, Italy and Japan partly i'll an unpublished agreement arrived at between the Japanese and Joe Stalin the latest saint to be unofficially canonized. Article 5 of the tri-partite agree ment reads as follows: Germany, Italy and Japan, affirm that the aforesaid terms do not in any way affect the political status which ex- ists at present as between each of the three contracting powers in So- viet Russia" If the wording of this article does not indicate an agree ment between Soviet Russia and Japan, then I must have lost my powers of observation and analysis

Possibly it was part of the strategy of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor to intimidate and terrOrize the American people. If so it had some interesting by product proofs of our terror. One Of these is that it frightened 10000 young Americans right into the Navy, 6O,OO0 into the Army, and thousands more into the Marine Corps during the remainder of the month of December, an all-time high record If the Japanese can 1righten us enough more, they are going to irighten us right into winning the war, It's funny how foreign psychology works with respect to Americans We are probably credited with being an excitable and emotional peo- pie. We are all that, but how Americans love to put such feelings to work in such crisis as the present one.
