Waste Paper Salvage

our soldiers and sailors is packed in
specially treated paper containers.
Many auxiliary gas tanks for our
airplanes are of an especially con-

And all of the tons upon tons of
paper thus sent abroad are irrevo-

None of it is salvageable.
That is why it is so frightfully
important here at home for us to
hoard the paper that comes into our
homes and to return it to the Wayne

Unless we get greater paper pro-
duction soon, the flow of vital sup

We in Detroit can help stave off
that dread contingency by saving
every bit of our waste paper-wrap-

cartons, bags-and turning it back.

upstate Republican New York

additional Republican district
was created along the New York
state boundary, giving that area
three representatives instead of
two.
In Philadelphia one Demo-
cratic district was abolished, re-
duciug from eight TO seven, and
the county was rearranged de-
slgnedly TO permit the Repub-
licanS to capture the two re-
naming Democratic seats. This
would make Philadelphia Solidly
Republican. Under Roosevelt it
has been strongly Democratic.

has been rearranged TO give
the Republicans a h n q TO
capture two seats now held by
very slender Democratic mar

With the Republicans possibly
gaining two in Philadelphia, two
in Pittsburgh. and two in the

THE strategy Of communlstle and
L subversive infiltration in any field
of American life that is economically
or socially unsettled was familiar to
the American people in our prewar
period Of depression and unemploy-
ment.
Wherever there is an opportunity
to capitalize upon poverty or other
temporary distress, in order to de-
stroy the faith of the people in their
democratic American government
and way of life, the Communists have
never neglected the opportunity.
According to Director J. Edgar
Hoover of the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation, they have now found and
are now exploiting a new source of
American economic and social dis
tress.
TN AN address delivered at the com
L mencement program of Holy Gross
College in Worcester, Mass, Mr..
Hoover made the startling revelation
that Communist elements IN the
country are brazenly and vigorously
using our grave problem of juvenile
delinquency for their own sinister
purposes.
Warning that one Communist
front" organization is actively en-
gagged in fostering youth recreation
centers which might impress un
thinking Americans as laudable
project if the sinister purposes that
motivate it are not exposed, Mr..
Hoover said
"OUer the years the American
Communists haze developed a propa-
ganda machine and a nefdrious and
elaborate school system OF their oUn
and eUen in the chameleon cloak
uith which they haze noU en-
shrouded Themselves, the American
Communists still PRO C l. A M
THEIR LOYALTY TO MARXISM,
the ontithesis of American democ-
rdcy.

AND COMPLICATE the solution OF

len, of juvenile delinquency is knouOn
to all informed persons.
"The Communists also recognize
this and see in IL an opportunity for
FURTHER INFILTRATION.
"The mere association of the
names American and democracy
Nth the Communist youth movement
DOES NOT MAKE THE ORGANI-
EATON EITHER AMERICAN OR
DEMOCRATTC.
THE Communist detectives in
i America are not to make our
American institutions and ideals en-
dure, but to DESTROY them.
Communism is not an American
philosophy, but an ALIEN phi
losophy.
Communists do not teach loyal
and strong Americanism, but. de-
spairing and defeatist Americanism.
Most certainly the solution and
cure of juvenile delinquency is not
in teaching our children less of our
true American philosophy, but in
teaching them MORE of it.
Consequently, we will not solve
or cure Juvenile delinquency but will
encourage and foment it by allowing
Communists to apply their ideo-
logical poisons to it.
American children must be taught
the WHOLESOME way of life of
their American fathers.
American children must be taught
the free and LOYAL way of life their
fathers established for them.
American children must be taught
to understand and appreciate the his
tory and traditions of their country,
and to LOVE their country, and to
train themselves for constructive and
faithful careers in it's service.
These are the duties of American
democracy.
They are surely not the duties, as
Mr.. Hoover says, of an alien philoso-
ply that is the ANTITHESIS of
American democracy.
Let AMERICANS instruct our
American children.
Let them have AMERICAN IN
SPIRATION and they will surely
and always BE AMERICAN.

POLITICAL PARADE

THE prospect Of Republican
Il control of the next House
of Representatives. rests pri-
marily upon the two most pop
ulous states of the union, New
York and Pennsylvania.
A strong possibility exists of
a reversal of 10 Democratic
seats TO the Republicans in
these great eastern common
wealths.
This situation comes about
through the fact that the Legis-
latureS of both states, since the
1912 congressional elections,
have enacted new congressional
redistricting statutes, which on
their face should enhance the
Republican prospects in the
%heXt House.
In both states the redistrict-
ing, made effective by Republic
can-controlled state assemblies,
is heavily in favor of the Re-
publican Party.
In New York the rediStrict-
ing is the first since the state
was rediStricted following the
1910 census, a period of 30
years.
In Pennsylvania the changes
made are a revision of the
changes made following the
1910 census.
IN NEW YORK the two repre-
L Sentatives-at-large, at pres
ent one Democratic and one
Republican. have been abolished
and the number of individual
congressional districts increased
from AZ TO As, so that all repre-
sentation is now by districts.
The changes have been con-
fined primarily to the metro
politan New York City area.
Due 10 the failure to redis-
trIct through three decades and
the shifting of population as
people moved out of congested
Manhattan into the less densely
populated suburban areas. an
abnormal situation had devel-
oped. There was one district in
Manhattan which had dropped
TO a mere 10000 in population,
and others of hut a few thou
sands more than that, while
other districts in the outlying
sections of Queens, Brooklyn
and the Bronx had increased to
more than 100000.

VIGOROUSLY Make PERMANENTLY PROP
America Entitled to Facts
About Pearl Harbor Tragedy
By BENJAMIN De- ASSERES

THE tragedy of Pearl Harbor and
L the mystery and responsibility of
that almost fatal disaster to Amer
lean sea power, air power and pres
tige are a NATIONAL MATTER.
1t would be another national dis
aster if this subject were to become
a political question.
And the only way to prevent
Pearl Harbor from becoming polit-
zeal and taking it out of the danger
Gus whispering stage is an IMMEDI-
ATE, OPEN and FEARLESS trial
of Adm. Kimmel and Gen. Short.
What, in brief, are the facts?
On the morning of Dec. z, 1911,
japanese air fleet sank or put out Of
commission, while we were still at
peace with Japan, five battleships
besides destroYers and other auxil-
larry Ships Three other battleships,
along with other fighting vessels,
were damaged.
The army and navy lost or had
damaged 247 planes. A floating dry
dock was damaged as were army
and navy air bases.
And, most mOnstrous of all, 2,117
officers and enlisted men of the navy
and marine corps were maSsacred,
900 were listed as missing and SIC
were wounded.
The army losses were 226 officers
and men killed or MORALLY wounded
and 1916 wounded less seriously.
THE treacherous Japs were di.
l rectly responsible for this catas-
trophe.
But who was responsible for this
great fleet of ours lying idle in Pearl
Harbor when we were on the brink
of war with Japan?
Who was responsible for the air
planes being grounded when they
should have been on the No. 3 alert?
The country wants these ques-
tons answered.
And it does not want them from
a Republican or Democrat, from
Roosevelt or a Dewey standpoint.
1t wants them answered from a
NATIONAL, AMERICAN STAND
POINT.
The Roberts report is lame and
evaSive.
1t points the finger at Adm. Kim
mel and Gen. Short.
They were heard" but they have
not been tried, as they have de-
manded over and over that they
should be.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-09-08

The nation has no confidence IN
the investigation" that is now 60
ing on.
1t is not trial.
And nothing less than a trial,
which will bring out all the facts
from TOP to bottom, will do.
There are ugly, almost incredible
rumors in Washington that orders
were given from high official
sources that the navy and the air.
planes in Hawaii were tied up and
grounded by Japanese request.
Senator Truman, candidate for
vice president on the Roosevelt
ticket, in a magazine article puts the
blame for Pearl Harbor on Adm.
Kimmel and Gen. Short.
That has the odor of politics all
over it.
In answer to this Adm. Kimmel
says in a dignified and fortnight
manner:
1.-THE real story of the Pearl Har-
Dor attack and the events preceding
it has never been publicly told. This
has not been my decision. For more
than two and half years | have
been anxious to have the American
people know all the facts"
Let us have the ''real story"
Let us know "all the facts"
WYE FREE Americans do not want
w -disgracefuf Dreyfus case to
stain the glorious victory of our
arms in Europe and in the Pacific.
WHO is responsible for our Pa
cific fleet lying idle in an Hawaiian
harbor and our air fleet being
grounded and punched" on Dec. Z,
1911?
Murder, massacre and destruc-
ton on a colossal scale were done.
There are just five men prima-
rily involved in this-Adm. Kimmel,
Gen. Short, the secretaries of war
and navy and the Commander in
Chief of the army and navy.
The disaster is not military
secret.
The responsibility should there
fore no longer be hidden.
1t was army politics that. was in
back of the Dreyfus scandal which
nearly destroyed France.
Let us have none of that dirt in
free America.
Open up wide the Pearl Harbor
mystery.
