The AFL went so far as TO con-

Service Clubs
Hear Philip Adler

Members Of the Kiwanis and
Rotary. Clubs today have a
much better picture of Russia
as the resultof an address by
Philip Adler, newspaper col
umnist delivered before a joint
luncheon meeting in the Medea
Hotel ball room, yesterday.
Next to victory itself, there
is nothing more certain than
that Russia S2i3Temerge from
this war as a great power" stat
ed the Detroit News foreign ex-
pert, himself a native of Russia.
Going into what he termed
ancient history, Adler traced
Russias war pattern from the
days before the outbreak when
he saw Russian peasants getting
ready for hardships by blowing
their fields on 24-hur shifts and
taking military training an hour
a day before taking up their
regular labors.
Everyone, including Ameri-
can experts in Washington, ex-
pcCted the Nazi armies to go
through Russia like a knife
through butter" within six
weeks and the Allies were re-
Iuctant to send them supplies
for fear that Hitler would be
there to meet the boats, Adler
said.
The speaker the went on to
point out how the turning
point of the war came in No
vember of 194l when it became
obvious that Russia would be
able to hold and aid was rushed
to them by re-routing materials
then in England.
The speaker heaped praises
upon Russia pointing out that
nowhere are the national minor
tiles treated better, that they
have not tried TO convert any of
their conquered enemies to
Communism, that they did not
! stop fighting at the border of
Poland and Romania as some
people predicted and that Fin
land, Bulgaria and Romania are
now all fighting on the Allied
nations side after Russian di-
plomacy made it possible.
President Otto Nickel, of the
/ Kiwanis Club, presided and the
speaker was introduced by
Chris Konstanzer, who arranged
the meeting.

watch sadly as their party was taken

p. S.).-John f. Regain, Democratic
nominee for Governor of Minnesota in
1892 and 1884 and for the United
States Senate in 1910, announced at
his home here today he proposes to
aid the Republican campaign this fall
by organizing Dewey Bricker all
party committees in every county of
the state.
"Regan said last weeks Democratic
National Convention in Chicago,
which he attended as spectator, con-
WINGED him the Democratic Party is
under the control of Communists and
that its only hope of salvation as a
party lies in such humping defeat
this fall that the present set-up will
be destroyed.
My fight in Minnesota is for the
purpose of preserving the Democratic
Party he said we shall expose Sid
ney Hillman. Earl Browdcr, David

with Communists which it is the duty
of every right-minded Democrat to re-
move from control of the party
AS long as this communistc
group is in the saddle, there will be
no Democratic Party he asserted.
This means the end of the two
party system of government in the
United States. In order to preserve
the party and the two-party system,
Democrats must first get rid of the
Communists.
"'Before they can do this and re-
capture control of their party, how
ever, the gang now running things
