things that agriculture seeks.
Here is the kind of a believer in
democracy that Joseph Pew Jr is, ac-
cording to Senator Guffy of Pennsyl

Pew with blocking the soldiers vote

In 1896 the same Pews withdrew
$4,000 worth of advertising from the
New York Times because it would
not support Landon for president.
Arthur Hays Sulzberger, who is
halloween and publisher of the New

important papers, made the following
statement in the same year:
1.-THE New York Times this year
1880 has unquestionably lost large
amount of advertising-and we wish
we had it-because of the support of
President Roosevelt during the cam
paign. We were accused of being
traitors and communists. Some adj
vertisers were frank enough to tell
us that they would not spend a dollar
with a newspaper that represented
such subversive interest Such pres

mately be classified as an effort to

Repairing and replacing this neces-
sary winter equipment now, Chief
Sheridan said, will make sure essen
tial vehicles will get through safely
and on time when snow and ice arrive.
Winter accidents in the SO snow
belt states last winter caused the
mileage death rate to increase SO per
cent over the summer rate in these
states, Sheridan said, while more than
usual snow and ice south of the Ma
son Dixon line caused a jump of "a
per cent in the other IL states This
he said, was tremendous falling off
in safety from the winter of 1942-43
Then the winter increase in the death
rate was "a per cent in the snow belt
states, and per cent in the south,
Sheridan said, and even that record
was not good one, for winter acct
dents are preventable.
In war as in peace, the supervisor
declared, inadequate traction and re-
duced visibility are the primary rea-
sons for winter traffic accidents, ac-
cording to the research by the Ma
tional Safety Councils committee on
Winter Driving Hazards.
Detailed studies of accidents during
the month of December, conducted in
two snow belt states, showed one-fifth
of al TRAFFIC accidents in one state
were caused by skidding, and two
thirds of all accidents in another, in
volving personal injury or property
damage, occurred on icy highways.
The answer is plain, Chief Sheridan !

In 1885 the Pews bought the Farm
Journal, an old farm paper. In 1913,
the Pews bought the Pathfinder, a
weekly newspaper. The Pews also
own other publications Their names
do not appear on any of them
When papers go regularly to 4,000,-
900 farm families, then they start in
fluencing public opinion. Ever since
the day the Pews took over, their
farm papers have been spreading a
philosophy of despair and reaction
and fear of agricultural democracy.
They have attacked farm groups and
organizations which really help the
farmers They have brought up red
herrings to drag across the scene.
The purpose of the Farm Journal
and Pathfinder is simply to put over
propaganda of the Big Business in
terest To cover up this propaganda
the major part of each issue is de-
voted to farm topics. But the polit-
ical section, and that is where the in
terest of politicians lies, puts over a
more reactionary propaganda, as news
of course, than the most conservative
Wall Street papers.
