forbidden to engage in political enterprises"

AID AND COMFORT TO OUR
ENEMIES

The FBI has again demonstrated
its usefulness and the clever work OF
its members. Eight spies-saboteurs
in two squads: one landed from sub
marine in Florida, one landed from a
submarine on Long Island-with full
equipment for destroying power and
water works, munition plants and
railway bridges were caught before
| they could contact German and Japa-
nese intelligence bureaus or any
America Firsters within our midst.
One of these spies was an American
citizen since 1888; all had lived in this
country. They had $4,000 in our
money. They probably will be, GER
tainly should be, hanged They had
taken regular college courses in espi-
onage and subversive sabotage. The
naturalized citizen had, of course,
taken the usual oath to support and
defend the Constitution of the United
States"
What made these men so bold? The
belief in Germany that we were a
house divided amongst ourselves
What caused that belief? The ac-
tual factsi!
After the Japs sank an American
ship, the Panay, our profiteers kept
sending to Japan munitions of war:
copper, oil, rubber, scrap-iron until
the longshoremen of Seattle refused
to load it. Worse than that even, fool
American investors, encouraged by
New York bankers, were buying
worthless Japanese government bonds
on the stock exchange. We were &C.
tually paying the cost of the present
war against ourselves. Silly holders
of Japanese bonds here in truth paid
for the shrapnel unloaded from the
air on our boys at Pearl Harbor.
In April, five months after Pearl
Harbor, Standard Oil of New Jersey
was shipping gasoline to South
American port for redelivery to the
Axis Powers. The men doing that

Mr.. o. S. Worden
Great Falls, Montana
Dear Mr. Worden:
| Word has come to me that the Fair
| Board has been approached by a med
ical officer of the U. S. Army to take
over the fair ground for a medical
supply depot for the armed forces,
and that your Fair Board discouraged
the idea. This situation, in my mind,
is rotten and wrong because we need
no fair this year; we should be all out
for this war effort and every building
and every available space should be
eminent to complete the job that we
have to do, and that is to win this
war.
We appreciate that fair in normal
times is a great asset to this commun-
ity and puts lot of money into cir
culation for the local merchants and
it is very educational, but at the same
time furnishes an opportunity for a
lot of race horse slickers and gamb-
lers to collect funds from the con-
Stunning public, which should be cut
out and should have been cut out long
ago.
Personally, think if the Fair Board
does its patriotic duty it will imme
diately decide to turn these fair
grounds over to the War department
fo,. any use thew might have for the
same for the duration of the war and
forget about displays, good times and
their profit to be made by other non
essentials at the expense of our war
effort. All fairs should be taboo dur
ing the war effort.
Very sincerely yours,

Shortly before the Declaration of

carried free, under congressional
franks, i.e., envelopes bearing the
name of a senator or congressman
with the lawful demand that the en-
closure go through without postage

penitentiary, was arrested by the FBI,
many sacks of mail were caught. The
mail was in franked envelopes of SEN

Statues and Guns

There will be hearty agreement
with the President on his observation
that certain statues in this country
would look better if turned into guns.
1t would be a more utilitarian
method of disposing of them than to
turn the guns on the statues, a
thought which doubtless has oc-
Cured to some long suffering citizens
in the past.
But before the slaughter of the
statues begins, there are several con-
siderations which may weigh more
heavily with the citizens than the
copper. tin and lead of which the
statues are composed.
The collection of aluminium pots
and pans left memories with patri-
otto housewives that are hard to
efface. Before the collection Of
statues begins, their absolute need
should, of course, be established.
But the intrinsic value of the
statues as metal is a relatively in
consequential matter compared with
the sentiment which so many of
them represent. Even the most crltl-
cized of them are tangible links with
the past and should not be melted
down indiScriminately. We are the
trustees of the gratitude of a pre-
ceding generation, symbolized in
these statues, and the trust is not to
be lightly regarded.
There is another sort of sentiment
associated with the heavy armament
captured by the AEF in the last war
and utilized now to surround scores
of memorials throughout the coun-
try. And this sentiment would be
beautifully fulfilled if the old German
howitzers and field guns were dis
mounted and shipped away for con-
version into ships and tanks, planes
and guns for use against their former
owners 1t is waste to keep them
where thev are.
