styled democrats refused to effectively
remedy in the last congress. Their
idea is to leave housing just as it has
always been left to real estate boards
and contractors associations free en-
terprise) whose selfishness and greed
are responsible for the fact that more
than II million families, including
hundreds of thousands of war veter.
ans, are either without homes, or liv.
ing in slums and shacks, many of
which are in such poor condition that
neither D'Ewart nor Ecton would
house their cattle in them.
Today, millions of Americans are
without medical and hospital care; yet
every effort to obtain government aid
for these people is labelled "socialis-
tic" by the bigwigs of the republican
party.
Millions of Americans are working
for sweatshop wages, but an effort to
remedy that condition by the enact
ment of fair minimum wage law, was
choked to death in the 10Th congress
by coalition of republicans and poll
tax congressman from the South.
A bill to continue the Fair Employ
ment Practices Commission, an act to
prevent discrimination against persons
because of race, religious belief or
place of birth, and one to abolish the
poll tax as a requisite for voting in
seven Southern states, were both de-
feated by the same coalition of reac-
tionaries.
D'Ewart Would Give Away
Nations Oil Reserves
An overwhelming majority of the
republicans in congress including d.
Ewart voted to give away the tide
lands, the nations last oil reservoir.
However, bills introduced to ham,
string labor by repeating the Norris
LaGuardia anti-injunction law, and by
emasculating labor's Magma Carta, the
Wagner labor relations act, has the
almost unanimous support of the re-
publican membership.
The republican party continues to
maintain its record of standpatism and
reaction. It's leaders think and live in
the past, and for many years no pro-
gressive thought has entered the
armor plated brain pans Of these poll
teal cliff-dwellers.
AS to plans for securing future
world peace by cooperation with
other nations, the policy of the repub-
lican party is nebulous. It's past rec
ord in that matter is very poor and the
efforts of its chief propagandists to
create hostility toward Russia, with
the apparent intention to forcibly iso-
late that country from the rest of the
world, as was done after World war l, |
does not augur we'll for future world |
peace.
With its past record of reactionism,
it is not strange that eyerv greedy,
self-seeking group, including the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers,
the U. S. Chamber of Commerce and
Gannett's so-called Committee for
Constitutions Government, are sup
porting republican candidates for con-
gress The Gannett outfit has been de-
nounced on the floor Of congress as
Americas No. 1 Fascist organization"
and reading of its literature and full
page advertisements, indicates that is
the correct name for it.
Better Stop and Think!
Montana voters, ON Nov. 5, will
elect three members of the next con-
gress-one senator and two repres-
entatives. 1t is up to those same voters
whether three men with the moral
support, if not indeed, the financial
aid of the above named powerful or
CARNATIONS shall be elected or three
who have no obligations except to the
plain people of our state, and who can
be depended upon to concern them
selves with the welfare of the people
by supporting measurs designed to
secure equal justice for all. Better
stop and think before you votei
