Communism
AS Viewed by
A Communist
They Are Foes Of b. S.
PeqIer Declares
BY WEsTBROOK PEGLER

BY WESTBROOk PEGLER
THERE are some genuine
Americans who do not realize
that communism actually is an
anti-American force, as hostile
10 this government as nazism
or faSciSm and ask for proof.
How do they know that the
Communist who nowadays so
plauSibly shouts his hatred Of
the war enemies of the United
States is also, himself, an
enemy?
1t seems unthinkable, espe-
Cially in view OF the fact that
Communists and fellow-travel-
ers have been able to worm
their way into many govern
ment bureaus, including lately
the Office Of War Information.
The most effective testimony
comes from baCkSlid Com
muniSts such As Benjamin Git
low. who formerly was so high
in the anti-American conspiracy
that in 1923 he ran for vice
president OF the United States
on the party ticket.
Gitlow, born Of poor Russian
parents in EliZabethport, n. j.,
blamed America for his early
poverty and unlike most young
Americans in similar circum-
stances, became an agitator and
an anti-American, instead of
working out his own prosperity.
IN HIS boyhood he associated
Il not with Americans but with
refugees from Russia who used
the United States only as safe
place of abode in which to hate
czarism and long for the rev.
olution.
Immigrants all, the elders, too.
disliked the United States as
they found it and wanted TO
make II over to their pattern.
Gitlow later fell out with his
comrades in one Of those nu-
merous wrangles that are al
ways splitting the Communists
into factions but not before he
had become one of the leading
conspirators, and, in 1910. he
squealed on his former comrades
in a book called II Confess"
from which the following testi-
mony is taken.
Are the Communists anti
American. then. you ask? Will
you take the word of Gitlow as
10 that?
I'm addition TO being n branch
OF the Com munist Inter
national" he says, "the Com
munist Party acted as an agent
of the Soviet government. He
(the member) is compensated
for his opposition 70 the United
states government nv being i'm
pressed with his Importance to
the government of the Soviet
Union"
MOTE that Gitlow admits that
~ the Communist opposes the
United States government.
1.-THE American Commun
Party has always argued that
10 had no connection with the
Soviet government, hut the
American Communist Party u
f. the same relation to the
Soviet government as the paid
agents of Nazi Germany are in
relation to the Third Reich"
he says.
Gitlow explains how II is that
Communists can cause so much
trouble in proportion to their
numbers. A party man, a men,
Der of a union. buys his Com
munist paper on the way 10
work and may arrive early 10
spread leaflets without being
noticed.

will be engaged In some activity
OF the party Of his Communist
union faction. After work, In
stead of going home. he will go
to party headquarters to attend

feel that I can make some COM
ments regarding the butter
shortage, etc.
l have read where butter has
been selling for such high prices.
Would you believe it if l told
you that one gallon of good
cream makes three to three and
one-half pounds Of butter, and
that l had a terrible time selling
five gallons of cream for SIS.
Who gets the profit?
Surely it isn't the farmer.
/ know of whole dairy herds
being sold around here and the
farmers feel the labor shortage,
combined with take what we
want to give you" at the cream
cry, has caused the farmers TO
sell out or feed the milk to hogs.
Until some interest is taken
in respect to the farmers. out
side industrial areas, conditions
will grow worse, war or no war.
l suppose Michigan has its
aches and pains as well as Min
nesota. but what a laugh to the
informed people who are sup
posed TO be the bread basket
of a nation.
/ was surprised to hear of the
brass of some farmers at the
market to ask SIPS for pound
of butter.
/ wonder II those very people
are not working in a defense

they left higher paying jobs,
shorter hours, or easier work.
In fact, everything they do is
harder than what the civilian
does. Their pay is less, their

They have a job to do. And
so do we! 1t is up to US to see
that those boys of ours come

time complaining.

Wheat Bread
Found TO Aid
Span Of Life
Parents Also Strengthen
Children. Science Says
BY GOBIND BEHARI LAL

International News Service Science Editor
POSSIBILITY that eating Of
certain kinds of bread and
other common foods might
markedly prolong the average
span of human life is suggested
by the results of a biological
discovery.
Prof. J. M. Reynolds of the
department of biology at the
College of Technology in Leices-
ter, England. has reported to
Nature, British scientific pub
LEGATION. that different kinds OF
wheat -four have different eff
fects upon small animals, from
the point of view Of bodily
growth and the span of life
Most startling is the discov-
cry that the effect is observed
in the offspring Of the parents
fed a particular kind Of -four.
One of the flours tested is
known in England as the ma
tional wheat meal" especially
developed 10 meet the needs of
the people during the present
emergency. This flour contains
most of the ingredients of the
whole grain: It is IS per cent
whole wheat
TIVE other kind of -four used
Il is white -four" from which
the outer ,coatings of the grain
have been removed.
Doctor Reynolds found that
the feeding of the "S5 per cent
whole wheat" -four 10 the par
ents markedly prolongedsihe life
span of the offspring, The rate
of body growth of the offspring
was also increased by feeding
parents the national wheat
meal"
On the other hand. feeding
white -four" shortened the
span of life and raised the rate
OF deaths, of the ofsprings.
Not only the animals that
were fed the two kinds of -four,
but even their offspring Jared
differently on whole wheat"
and white -four" meals.
The insects used were "coleop-
terra tenebrionidae," a kind OF
small beetle.
DOCTOR REYNOLDS states
~ the general significance of
his experiment thus:
Our results show that the
rate Of development OF the off,
spring Is influenced by the food
on which their parents are fed.
Thus, whether larvae, the
offspring. are fed on so per cent
(white) -four. or on Is per cent
whole wheat) -four, they de-
velop more rapidly when their
parents have been fed on IS per
cent -four than when their par
ents have been fed on the so per
cent -four.
THE food OF the parents has
q greater effect on the mortality
rate of the larvae than has the
food Of the larvae themselves"
II is not easy TO apply these
results 10 human beings. for no
one can say how much man and
the insect differ in this respect.
But the British scientists dis
covery has opened a new way Of
studying mans own breadstuff
and other common foods.
The main difference between
whole wheat -four and white
-four is that the former contains
more of minerals and vitamins
OF b complex. In the British
experiment the two f1ours were
prepared from the same wheat
grains. In making white -four
the grains vitamin and mineral
containing portions we're dis
carded.
