THE TRAGEDY AT
MONTGOMERY WARD

1t has been a week since the country
was shocked by news that the govern
ment had used force of arms in the seiz-
ure of the Chicago stores of Montgomery
Ward and Company.
II is safe to say that the rank and file
of people were both shocked and confus-
ed. implications were more felt than
understood Someway, somehow, through
the intricacies of law and federal regula-
ton and the gradual movement toward
leftism throughout the last twelve years
our country had progressed to point
where a distribution concern could be
taken over by soldiers. 1t can easily be
understood why such realization should
stagger the public mind, and why most
of us are still seeking a clear understand
ing of this horrible monstrosity of fact.
Rightly or wrongly, it is a fact that
the whole nightmarish event took place.
1t is not a fact as to whether the gov
ernment had right to do this. 1t is
fact that if there is justification under
our official laws and the new unofficial
laws" (bureau edicts) then those laws
both official and unofficial should be
changed
