CHINA AT THE CROSSROADS

China is the most critical position
today, both as to her internal situa-
ton as well as the Japanese invasion
and it's doubtful if outside help alone
can save her unless she drops her in
ternal strife. With Kai-sheks two
best armies standing guard over, or
fighting, the 4th and Sth Route guer-
rilla armies LED by Chu Teh, the
worlds outstanding guerrilla fighter,
there is not much hope of driving the
Japs out of China. All the Chinese
provinces, with the exception of Sian
kiang, are directly threatened by Nip
ponese troops or bombing planes.
Since the Nazi Soviet invasion, Mos
COW. has not been in a position to
help China much but had the United
States stipulated that some of the

Hon. James E. Murray
United States Senator
Washington, D. c.
Dear Jim:
| noticed by yesterday afternoon
paper that the supreme court had de-
cided that the business of insurance
was interstate commerce. This is one
of the greatest steps forward toward
regulating this racket that has oc-
CURED in the history of the United
States. 1 notice by the morning paper
that these racketeers will make an
effort to have the congress destroy
the effect of this decision, and in the
usual language of racketeers they say
that because they are made to obey
the laws that other men obey, chaos
will result.
There has been chaos in the United
States springing from the insurance
racket, and increasing steadily for the
last fifty years. Judge Brandeis first
called attention to it, and wrote an
essay twenty-five or twenty-eight
years ago, in which he gave the fig
ures, and announced that the life in
surance reserves were the greatest
menace to the people of America. His
words have proved prophetic. This
decision arose from an indictment
against the Southern Board of Fire
Underwriters l think; the exact title
of the case l cannot instantly recall.
The worst bunch of racketeers,
monopolists and concerns which tax
the people without any representation
of the people is the Pacific Board of
Fire Underwriters; they particularly
stress their oppressive taxation
against Montana because they know
that there is such strong alliance
in the government of Montana of the |
great corporations here that the peo- |
pie are powerless to protect them
selves by law against their unjust
rates.
| believe Sen. Joseph c. O'Mahoney
Of Wyoming is leading the same kind
Of fight against the insurance rack
ct. l enclose you copy of this letter,
hoping that you will deliver it to SEN
ator O'Mahoney if he be in Washing
on. He has among his files doubt

annually of the insurance racket in
Montana, showing that for the last
twenty years the insurance companies
have taken in premiums in Montana
more than twice as much as they have
ever paid back in losses to the people
of this state.
Whatever bill is proposed by these
racketeers and their agents in either
house of the congress should be met
by discussion of the people of the
United States for at least six months
before any action be taken on it.
If the Interstate Commerce Com
has not already power to reg
ulate this nationwide racket, the con-
gress should forthwith give that COM
full power to regulate insur-
ance, as well as transportation.

WASHINGTON
LETTER
FEPC SAVED IN HOUSE-FAcES
CRITICAL FIGHT IN SENATE

A brilliant parliamentary and verbal
battle on the floor of the house of
representatives led by Congressman
Vito Marcantonio, president Of the
LID, saved the Presidents Commit
tee on Fair Employment Practice from
the poll takers and their republican
allies last week. Mr.. Marcantonio
took over the leadership after FEPC
had been virtually abandoned by
Chairman Cannon of the appropria-
lions committee, who brought in the
committee report favoring FEPC ap-
preparation of 100000
EARLY in the afternoon, a motion by
Tarver of Georgia to cut out all funds
for FEPC from the War Agencies APP
preparation Bill, was adopted by 141
to 103. There was no rollcall.
BY using parliamentary tactics ig-
nored by the house leadership, Mr..
Marcantonio forced second vote, in
which FEPC funds were restored to
the bill by the narrow margin of 119
to 1873
In the final vote on the entire bill,
-58 die-hard white supremacists actu-
ally voted to defeat appropriations for
eighteen crucial war agencies whose
funds were involved, in protest
against FEPC. However, 247 mem
bers, put on the spot with roll-call,
voted for the bill
In the course of the debate, record
of which covers 81 finely printed
pages of the Congressional Record,
Rep. Marcantonio time after time rose
to attack the defamers of FEPC, to
correct their deliberate misstatements
and Misrepresentation, and to make
the whole issue of FEPC clear. He
was supported in the fight by Con-
gresham Dawson of Chicago and a
handful of northern democrats.
Now the bill goes to the senate,
where it faces bitter-end fight by the
white supremacists.
AT this writing, there is no indica-
ton which senator, If any, will carry
on the floor battle for FEPC. But
the situation there is believed to be
critical. Every senator's vote counts.
For example, New Yorks two sena-
tors represent only one-forty-eighth of
The senate voting strength, whereas
