WIENER GOES. MAY HIS
BRETHEREN FOLLOW

If you have not yet read Congressman
John Phillips column on this page to-
day, stop here and do so before continu-
ing.
Mr.. Phillips deals with the persons of
Joseph l.. Weiner, Maurice Parmelee
and raft of other questionable types of
individuals who unhappily are to be
found among the personnel of our admin
istration.
Mr.. Weiner symbolizes this element
which has wreaked such havoc upon the
confidence of the people. 1t is astonish-
ing that such persons are permitted to
exist in public office and Mr.. Phillips
is performing public service in advis
ing us of their presence.
This man Weiner (born in RuSSia) we
understand is now ousted from the civil
ian supply division of WPB. We trust
all the rest of his ilk follow his trail
out. But they won't, not until the peo-
pie demand it by vote.
Mr.. Weiner, you See is the man who
authorized an 80 per cent reduction in
the manufacture of farm machinery
though critical food shortages already
were on the way. Hence, every house
wife, farmer and breadwinner should be
especially interested in his political de
cease.
Weiner is a ymbol. He stands for bum
governmental planning. He stands for
the existence of the wrong kind of men
in important office He is the personifi-
cation of a theoriSt trying to do practical
planning. A lawyer with no knowledge
of agriculture, he was given control of
the farmers. Nothing could be sillier, not
even a farmer being given the job OF
judging legal case.
Administrative hackers of the New
Deal will excuse such blunders on
grounds that there must be many errors
in the vast program of meeting huge
war problems of unprecedented dimen-
sions. But while we agree there must be
mistakes and we are perfectly willing to
condone them most literally, we submit
that this kind of blundering is ineXcuS-
able and absolutely unnecessary.
1t is purpOseful laundering. 1t is poll
tical blundering. 1t is not even honest
and sincere blundering. It is unneces-
sary insertion of square pegs into round
holes and vice versa.
Secondly, we would say to these pro-
Imperial Valley press., 1943-06-17
Editorials and Comment

New Dealers. that these men are known
for what they are Parmelee the Nudist,
Lever the Communist, Tippett the profit
motive-hater, Karr of the foreign lam
guage division who knows no foreign
tongue . whoever put them into office
was guilty up to the arm pits =. guilty
of gross ignorance, or guilty of knowing
lv sneaking communists of undemocratic
principles into high public office.
That this should happen and be per
mitted to happen in the ranks of great
American political party with the know /
edge and coincidence Of every Democratic
central committee in the land (including
Imperial county's) is beyond comprehen-
sion.
Thirdly. we say these men should be
rooted from office for the good OF the
war effort. How in thunderation the
president or other high political officers
can have the affrontery to begsfor unity,
can urge that political differences be
forgot while this sort of thing goes on
with their connivance and suspected par
ticpation. we fail to see.
Right thinking anti-NeW Dealers don't
WANT to faultfind. They don't WANT
differences of opinion. But they would
be blamed fools indeed not to fight back
against such nefarious things as this.
Let no one say that it is the non-NeW
Dealers who create political disunlty.
1t is the New Deal administration itself
