CINCE the Pearl Harbor disas-
~ ter there has been no doubt
that the year 1912 would be one
of the darkest in our history. 1t
could not be otherwise. But
what will determine the eventual
outcome will be the internal
situation in this country.
If in loyalty and unity, with
complete courage and determina-
ton we pursue our course, aus
terely and dauntlessly, nothing
can defeat this nation.
If, then, 1 continue to warn
of the enemy inside America, l
do so in no hysteria whatsoever,
but only to make clear the thesis
that our procedure in dealing
with this internal enemy is as
outmoded as cavalry against a
blitz.
This war has gone on for two
years and half. In every new
area it follows consistent pat
tern. Tat pattern is: attack
from without with inside col
laborators. The collaborators
within are organized. They are
organized in a mass espionage
and propaganda system. 1t is
this element of mass that dis
tinguishes the m cd rn fifth
column.
IN THE last war there were
l. spies and Saboteurs. In this
war there are vast pro-Fascist
organizations that have been
openly and secretly organized
under the protection of constitu-
tional liberties.
They are exactly similar to
the movements organized in
Austria, Czecho-Slovakia. Po-
land, Holland. Norway and AL
SAGE. Citizenship is no criterion.
Seyss- Inquart, Henlein. Quis-
ling, Van Tonningen were citi-
Zens of the countries they con-
spired against.
This Fascio-Nazi organization
network is in collaboration on
the West Coast with the Japs.
Though crippled by the closing
of the consulates and the va
rious libraries of information"
it was prepared for both events.
On the German side, it follows
the pattern of the Nazi organi-
cation from the cell 10 the troop,
TO the group, to the region, with
a whole network of leaders. And
our native F'ascistS play their
game even without collabora-
ton.
Now we arc seeking to deal
with these organizations by try
ing TO pick up here and there
leaders against whom on one
charge or another case can be
made in law.
This will not meet the prob
lem. The problem is the de-
struction of the whole organiza-
ton. Every member in it is
open TO suspicion.
Their leaders, from the lowest
10 the highest instance, should
be locked up, for the defense of
the land. Their members should
be blackliSted. And all their
FaScistS associates should be
kept under observation.
WHAT do we actually find?

who is a raving pro-FaScist, his
activities thoroughly well-known

Herbert F. Oettgen is the

He has boosted Of friendship

still. as I write these lines,
speaking over the German-lan-
guage hour WBNX, sponsored by
German furniture stores.
THERE are only a few isolated
Il instances that happen to
have come to my attention. But
since 1910 and preceding the
Normandie there were a whole
series of explosions and fires in
armament plants and inevitably
as accidents
One can only ask whether II
was also an accident" that
among the employees of the Her
cules powder plant, that ex-
ploded in September. 1910, in
New Jersey, we're three men
who only a short time before
had taken part in the drills OF
the German American Bund in
dover. New Jersey: or
whether il was also lust an
accident that five other men
who participated in these drills
were employed in the Great
Picatinny Arsenal, which suf-
fered a blast about the same
time.
THE Axis has always said that
Il America would be IAN inside
job" Holland, Belgium, France
and Norway were also all, to a
great extent, "inside jobs" Cecil
Brown has reported from Ma
lava what an inside job was
done there; and we all know Of
the INSIDE jobs" in Hawaii.
And so one asks: When will
this country wake up and make
war on its enemies right here?
Intelligence is the capacity TO
learn from experience. If there
are no adequate statutes to deal
with a reality. then the statutes
should be made. Civilian defense
means protecting civilianS-from
the enemies who may come and
the cncn1ieS organized TO assist
and welcome them.

Letters TO
The Editor

TO THE EDITOR:
WE HAVE a little bulldog with
w a tan harness. 1t was ap-
parently abandoned near Red
ford High School.
This little dog had an in
jured leg which was bleeding
profusely. He was taken TO a
veterinarian in Grand River
avenue, and after his leg had
been sewed up he was brought
back to school and the Anti
Cruelty Society notified.
He was taken to the shelter
at 1858 Joseph Campau and an
ad put in a BEDFORD paper in the
hope of locating his owner.
Nobody called in about him,
however, so he appears to be
one of the dozens Of dogs
dropped off in the course of a
month around the school.
He is still waiting and still
grieving for his home.
There should be some kind
person in Detroit who would
want such a desirable little dog
for pet.
InaSmuch as the two societies
in the city, the Anti-Cruelty AS
ISOLATION and the Michigan HUI
name Society, call for and re-
ceive unwanted animals, it is
difficult to see why people drop
them off in the suburbs.
The little dog whose story is
here told is only one of many
who needs a home with the right
kind of people.

Michael Strauss Jacobs,
known far and wide as Mike"
a promoter Of prizefights, says
or, rather, seq he:
"ThIs would be a hell OF a
country II we had to have fights
and ball games and races to get
us all worked up about winning
n war. Now, wouldn't it,"
This doesn't quite make sense,
although 1 dislike crossing
swords with such a great cpl
grammatist as mike" Jacobs.
We do not want fights, ball
games and races to work us up
to the fighting stage. We need
these, and all other forms of
recreation, TO take our minds
occasionally off OF the war.
All war and no pray, Mr..
Mike" would make bum
fighter. Now wouldn't il?

7 WISH some one would tell us
Il what is the matter with all
of us.
I see ads for acetylene weld
ers. The government needs
welders. Schools are asking for
men to take courses in welding.
1 enlisted in the United States
army during the last war, was
sent to the Davis Bowmanville
Welding Institute at Jersey City.
Completed an eight weeks course
at the school and then was as
signed to the 211th Aero Squad
ron and sent overseas.
At the end of the war was
discharged and /, like thousands
of others, could not get our jobs
back, or for that matter, any
job. 1 re-enlisted in the army,
served on the Mexican border
in the Twelfth United States
Cavalry.
After being discharged I got
a job welding, worked at it for
two years, then took a job metal
polishing. Both of these jobs
are vital to national defense,
yet / am not working.
Why? It is not on account
of my ability, because 1 have
polished every known metal.
Polishers are in demand at
several large plants in the city.
When L tell them 1 worked for
Chrysler they say. Sorry, we
can't use you"-although they
need men.

THE people want the FACTS.

i Vii. people want the FAILS.
l They are NOT getting them.
They want the FULL facts on Pearl Harbor.
They want the FULL facts on the Normandle.
They want the FULL facts on national defense.
They want the FULL facts on sixth column DOOM
doggling and non-defense political pie-counters
Walter D. Fuller, publishing executive and chairman
Of the National Manufacturers Association, told an
Indianapolis audience the other day in regard to the with
holding of facts:
Facts i'm the hands of paid prOpagandists in Wash
ington are one thing Facts in the hands of sincere,
6nr breeds tfistrust; the other breeds confidence
People who treated children may be expected
to act children Either the American people are full
grown and women who can face facts squarely-or
they are not mature enough for the blessings OF
democracy"
THAT'S it-straight from the shoulder!
There is in Washington, distrust of the press as
we'll a dstrust of the people.
Facts" handed out by New Deal propagandsts and
Librarians in Washington not facts at all, in the
newspaper sense
They are merely porridge and molasses for the
people which this administration has never trusted and
which the great founder of the Democratic Party Thomas
Jefferson, relied on entirely.
The American people have profound faith in the
American press.
They have very little faith in paid political propa-
gandsts offices of facts and figures and predecessors
If the administration wants the full confidence of
the people it must give the people, in exchange, just
THAT-ITS FULL CONFIDENCE.

Rail Shippers Warned
To Help Speed Up
Freight Cars
No Serious Shortage
Seen if Equipment
Is Kept Moving
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA. April 9.-War-
rem c. Kendall, chairman of the
car service division of the Asso-
citation of American Railroads, said
today he anticipates no serious car
shortage in 1912 despite the war
programs heavily increased de-
mands upon rail transportation.
He asserted. however, in an ad-
dress prepared for a meeting of the
Atlantic States Shippers Advisory
Board that the railroads. shippers
and receivers must do their part"
and that materials for new rail
equipment and repairs must be
forthcoming.
THE railroads must do their job
promptly and thoroughly, keep cars
moving and not permit them to
remain on track after release, -
he said. The shippers must load
cars promptly and heavily. The
peak load should be leveled to the
extent possible by using transporta-
tion facilities when available for
building up MISUNDERSTANDING of
coal, for example. The receivers
must order loads which will test
the capacity of the cars and unload
it promptly upon receipt"
Receivers who hold cars for ey.
cessive lengths of time, Kendall said,
may expect an embargo from the
railroads making it impossible for
them to receive other shipments
until the detained cars are released.
The car service division predicts
freight shipments in the Atlantic
States during April, May and June
will total 730,l45 cars, compared
with 666,179 cars in the like period
of 1941. an increase of 9.6 per cent.
r w. Brown, president of the Le-
high Valley Railroad, said in radio
broadcast in connection with the
meeting last night that 500, 1000
troops were moved by American rail-
roads during the seven weeks follow
ing Pearl Harbor.
Brown said the full story cannot
be told for military reasons, but
called the movement great
achievement.
Robert S. Henry, assistant to the
president of the railroads associa-
ton, said that for the week ended
March % the railroads moved a
daily average of more than 100000
barrels of petroleum products to the
East Coast-two-and-one-half times
more than it was expected the rail-
roads could accomplish. These ship
ments, he said, represented more
than one third of the Oil consumed
on the Atlantic seaboard.

Stock Market Down
Fractions 10 More
Than 81 a Share
War Reports Depress
Prices; Volume at
325,000 Mark
By VICTOR EUBANK,
Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, April 9-Stocks con-
tinued to limp in today's market as
the war news took on a somewhat
more bearish appearance.
Fractions were shaved of leaders
at the start and losses were extended
eventually to as much as 2 or more
points for scattered blue chips. Lit
tie comeback was in evidence at the
close.
Withdrawal of buyers, rather than
pressure of offerings, turned trends
downward. While there were brief
lively intervals in the forenoon,
dealings eventually reverted to slug
gishness. Transfers for the full pro-
ceedings were around 325,0OO shares,
Speculative and investment senti-
ment seemed chilled mainly by dis
patches indicating the virtual fall
OF Bataan to the japanese. A bit
dlSheartening also was the sinking
OF two British cruisers in the Indian
Ocean and further threats to United
Nations strongholds in that part of
the world. Tax clouds, the move
toward profits limitations and
spreading Federal controls over in
dustry remained as handicaps for
potential bidders. The likelihood Of
many corporations trimming or
eliminating dividends served as
cloudy factor.
Neither Western Union nor Postal
Telegraph stocks rallied on the in
PRODUCTION of bill in the Senate to
permit consolidation of domestic
telegraph companies.
New lows for one to four years
were posted for Westinghouse, Cen
eral Foods. Anaconda, United States
Steel and Bethlehem. Backward
were General Motors, Chrysler,
American Smelling, SearS-Roebuck,
Douglas Aircraft, Du Pont. Johns
Manville. United States Gypsum,
Zenith Radio and International
Harvester.
Bond Market Lower.
Adverse war developments were
blamed by brokers for a general de-
cline Of fractions to more than a
point in the bond market.
Going into the final hour only a
handful Of issues escaped the minus
column, but trading remained COM
paratively light.

Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 9.-The grain
market was depressed today by war
news from the Pacific, the favorable
crop outlook, tagging flour demand
and concern about availability of
storage space later in the year.
This kept wheat and rye weak
most of the session, although these
cereals rallied at times in sympathy
with small gains in the corn and
oats pits, where prices reflected rec
ord-breaking demand for livestock
feed and reports of some damage
to oats in the Southwest. Wheat

Another major war job on which
the company now Is In full swing Is
production Of engines for planes.
The engine contract involved the
erection of an entirely new plant
with radically different machinery.
This was done at the company's ex-
pense in anticipation Of receiving
contracts, but with no certainty OF
them. II the engine-making job
had not come through this plant
could have been fitted into an ex-
pansion of the regular company ac-
tivities.
At present it houses. besides the
manufacturing equipment, the third
largest school in Michigan, where
Ford experts are training soldiers
and sailors assigned to it. At its
own expense-well over 81 900 900
the company has provided barracks,
hospital and other essentials for
these men.
The changeover from auto produc-
ton will result In a lot OF temporary
unemployment, but Mr.. Sorensen
believes when full war production
program is under way the job will
be to find men and women to tend
the machines. He anticipates a total
pay roll Of several hundred Thousand
at least several thousand more
than ever has been engaged in
