lean fascsits. One Indictment against
the secretary of Gerald Winrod, one
of the 28) has already been brought.
| So on the floor of congress, Repre-
sentative Hoffman of Michigan (some-
times considered by people who can't
explain him otherwise to be the Wash
ington representative of Henry Ford,
Of Father Coughlin, of Gerald L. K.
Smith, and of other more or less sin
lister forces) got up to denounce the
assistant attorney general who had
obtained the indictments against the
%, is busy now with the new grand
jury
In long speech, Hoffman attacked
the indictment of the % as an at
tempt to smear members of congressl
Because obviously members of con-
gress were involved in the pro-Axis
activities Of the %. He denounced
everyone who had anything to do with
opposing appeaser candidates for con-
gress. He demanded investigation,
punishment of his political opponents
He was backed up in this speech
by Rep. Frank B. Keefe of Wiscon-
sin; Rankin of Mississippi; Coffee of
Nebraska; Lambertson of Kansas;
Jesse P. Wolcott of Michigan; Alfred
Better of New York; Leland Ford of
California. lowering in the back
ground of this support was Cox of
Georgia and few more poll-taxers;
Fish of New York.

Pennsylvania charged that Hoffman
had provided thousands of copies of a
speech in which he called President
Roosevelt Judas, to and for the use
Of, Gerald B. Winrod, David Baxter,
and Charles B. Hudson (three among
the 28) and others months after the
country was at war, no denial was
forthcoming.
Rep. Rankin and Governor Dixon
Governor Dixon of Alabama recent
ly made speech in New York which
did everything but openly threaten a
new Civil war between the states I'M
less the government stopped every eff
fort to integrate negroes into the war
effort and break down discrimination
in employment. Extracts, with lauda-
tory comment and some additional
choice morsels of his own, were in
serted in the Congressional Record by
Representative Rankin of Mississippi.
That's another straw in the wind, and
it is a very serious wind In congress
and elsewhere during 1913 may be ex-
pected the biggest anti-war drive, the
most open preparation for fascism in
the southern states, that has yet been
seen. This legislative letter will con-
stantly report on these questions, with
as to what should
be done about it in practical way
by our readers and the organizations
and individuals with whom they are

ing its way, and If said community
does not take proper precautions to
meet that cyclone, when said cyclone
finally strikes the community, it
should turn it's back and say, 81 re-
fuse to recognize you" Which would
be a gesture as futile as refusing to
recognize that state of war existed
between the United States and Japan.
Miss Rankin further charges as we
understood 1t, that America had in
vited war with Japan, especially by
imposing economic sanctions against
that country. To begin with, war with
the United States had been in the
consciousness of Japanese militarists
for over SO years, but even aside from
that, such an attack as the one at
Pearl Harbor required many months
of careful planning; our sanctions
against Japan were imposed a COM
paratively short time before Pearl
Harbor. But even assuming, for the
sake of argument, that our belated
sanctions were the direct cause of the
Pearl Harbor attack, would Miss Ran
kin have had the United States go on
indefinitely supplying Japan with the
materials of war? What right, as hui
man beings, did we have to aid and
abet the slaughter of innocent and
peaceloving Chinese human beings?
And for how long could we have con-
tinued to fatten war machine which
might at any time be turned against
ourselves, for the sake Of a tenuous
period Of peace?
Which brings us to Miss Rankins
next point-a direct contradiction of
her foregoing position-for here she
charges that the United States was
guilty of supplying Japan with the
war materials now being used against
us. All, yes, Miss Rankin, this is i'm
portant for you to understand: when
pease them by giving them what they
want for the time being and buy for
yourself dubious and short period
of peace, or you impose economic
sanctions and cut off the supply of
war materials and the appeasement.

because it was good business for GER
ain business interests in the United
states, but because our country was

lction served only to strengthen the
Lggressor against the inevitable day
II reckoning
We have no doubt as to Miss Ran
inns sincere efforts in behalf of
eace, since we too hate war and love
eace and in less spectacular manner
ried to contribute to the cause of
World peace. But when the basis for
peace is shot away, one
annot go on cilnging to a structure
Tithout foundation. Peace cannot be
chieved merely by hating war: The
hinese people did not want war; the
ussian people did not want war; the
zechs and the Poles and all other
uman beings abhor war But at this
eriod of world evolution, the first
ssential for everlasting peace is the
estruction of fascism-abroad and at

MILDRED OLDENBURG.

Over the radio this morning we
heard that, one year later, Jeanette
Rankin has had inserted In the Con-
gressional Record her reasons for vot-

cember Sth. We would like to make
some comments on her statement, as
we understood it from the radio com
mentator.
To begin with, Miss Rankin charges
that the official United States had
been well aware that such an attack
as the Japanese attack on Pearl Har-
Dor was impending and that we were
not taken completely by surprise. In
other words, then, if a community has
been warned that cyclone is head

Stain" but he further declared,
IAN Allied second front will be
opened on the continent OF Europe
only when it promises every chance
Of military success, and unswayed

Churchill said that he didn't blame
Russia for any criticism it has lev
eled at the Allies for not having
launched a new offensive in west
ern Europe. He made it clear, how
ever, that the positive factor OF
military success is paramount.
Urges Meeting

and I will persevere in our efforts
to meet Premier Stain; in the
meantime it seems most necessary
and urgent that a conference OF the
British, United States, and Russian
foreign ministers or their responsible
representatives should be held at

merely to explore the various inn

the future arrangements for world
security, but should carry their dis
