NO TIME FOR NAME CALLING

Name calling is out of place in the present emergency.
The dsgraceful antics of some labor, business and government
officials at a time when practically every institution of Amer
lean life is in danger, is inexcusable. The recent exchange of
epithets between the head of the National Association OF Man.
ufacturers and a United States senator, is typical. Each con-
demned the motives of the other in regard to price control
The public gained nothing from the exchange and the press
wasted tons of valuable news print.
There are sincere, intelligent, patriotic people on both sides
of the price control controversy who are struggling with a stag
gering economic probem-the sudden appearance of a back
breaking public debt. That a large part of the debt was I'M
avoidable due to war, is water over the dam, and so is the
profligate spending of the federal government for the past
decade, and it's failure to collect taxes to meet ordinary eX-
penses.
The problem now, other than attainment Of a balanced fed
eral budget, is how to prevent our representative form OF gov
eminent, together with the economic and political liberties Of
the people, from being crushed in the struggle of various
groups to escape the hardships of postwar turmoil. No mat
ter what happens, the laws of the land and the safeguards
against oppression, born of the wisdom of the ages and written
into the United States constitution, must be preserved. They
cannot be preserved if they are ignored in attempts to con-
troll initiation, strikes, or any other economic disturbance. Nor
can they be preserved if the government bows to the unreason-
BILE demands of any group.

Der should be at least one inch thick
and the corners well-braced.
In installing the frame, dig a hole
about a foot deep. The sides of the
frame should extend about six
inches into the ground. This will pre-
vent drafts from entering. The extra
soil should then be banked against

Windows should be on hinges so
that they may be raised and secure

sunny days, the windows should be

Use Cold Frames Continually
BY W. ]. DRYDEN, WNU Farm Editor.

Cold frames serve as bulwarks
against frost and provide means by
which the gardener can be assured
of ar early start with his plants.
They also provide space for him in
which he can properly raise plants
throughout the season until they are
ready for transplanting. After the
garden season is over, cold frames

tected as much as possible from the
full force of winds and driving rain,
is the best location for the cold
frame.
The lumber used should be mois-
ture-resistant. The construction
must be solid. It should be made
with as much care as the hot bed.

where and believe 1t Is hlgn
time that William Green be
informed of the truth about
Burton X. Wheeler and that it be
made known to all the members OF
our organization in Montana. The sim
pie and ugly truth is that Wheeler
is one of Americas leading fascists.
1t was not always so. But il is today.
Wheeler was branded Il leading fas-
cist in open convention by one OF
Americas leading unions. This union
lost more men killed proportionately
than any branch of our armed services
in the war-whose purpose was 10
wipe iascism from the face OF the
earth. 1t is the union of the men who
sailed our merchant fleet. the Mari
time Union. and it should know where
of il speaks.
However. it IS out of Wheeler's own
mouth, from his own acts that the
truth is most clearly revealed. His
every act and work during the last
six years cry aloud his guilt.
Throughout the entire war, by
speeches on the floor OF congress. by
secret Vaccinations behind the scenes.
by spreading vicious rumors in pub
lie and in private talks from II end
Of the country to the other. Wheel
er undermined public morale. stirred
up suspicion and hatred for our prin-
cIpal military allies and actually at
tempted sabotage OF the plans of our
high command.
If Wheeler had not been in the Unit
ed States senate and il the laws Of
the nation had been fully enforced he
could and should have been tried as
a traitor to his country in time OF
war.
Spoke Goebbeis Language
Throughout the war, Wheeler was
quoted %approvingly by the nazi press
and radio, This was natural as he
spoke llitler's nazi language. spread
Hitler's propaganda in "A ann Goeb-
bles could hardly have improved upon.
Throughout the war Wheeler main
tanned that Hitler meant us no harm
that our real enemies were Great Brit
ain and Russia-he still says so. In
the midst of war Wheeler went from
town to town in his home state lwhere
he has no home) and spread a series
of downright lies, predicting deals be-
tween Japan and Russia. Niliiying
Britain and American high commands
and tearing down virtually all efforts
by President Roosevelt to bring about
a speedy victory.
We are now asked to believe that
this same Wheeler is the friend of
labor. This is a monstrous assertion
Wheeler is the worst entmy of
every laboring man, farmer or every
businessman who loves his America
and the freedom and democracy for
which it stands. We are asked to he
lievc that Whecler's voting record on
domestic issues shows him on the
side Of the common people. This is
NOT what it shows-it shows the dia-

he was for the common man, he was
