This summer a labor smear story on
the strikes in the underpaid farm i'm
plement companies was spread far and
wide, characterizing the strikes as a
red" plot to cut down food produc-
ton and starve the world. 1t had no
relation whatsoever to fact and was
obviously thrown out for re-publica-
tion-which is just what is happening
to it.
One farm equipment company, I
hear, had thousands of copies of this
authoritative" story reprinted, I'M
doubtedly to be circulated by farm
machinery dealers all over the coun-
try with the objective of garnering
farm votes for anti-labor congressman
and anti-union legislation.
Not every rural dweller is biting on
this proffered loco, as the following
case attests, related to me by Ole Oh
son of Buxton, N. d., president of the
great Grain marketing co-ops of the
northwest. Ole saw one of these loco
reprints on the counter of an Allis-
Chalmer dealer in his neighborhood.
After his rather positive explanation
to the dealer that the farmers around
there were members of the Farmers
Union and didn't use the weed, the
dealer crumpled up the folder and tos-
sed it away.

trial workers in unions situated in
rural areas should get busy and cam
paign against the dangers of the weed.

PATTON AGAIN ASKS
RESIGNATION OF
SEC'Y ANDERSON

Washington.-"The Department of
Agriculture reorganization now being
pushed by Secretary Anderson will
complete the wreckage of what was
once the most democratic farm pro-
gram in our history" James G. Patton,
president of the National Farmers
Union, declared recently in a public
statement calling on President Tru-
man to force the secretary to resign.
"If this reorganization is permitted
to stand" Patton said, then the name
of the Department of Agriculture
might just as well be changed to De
partment of Agricultural Professors
and Food Trades"
Under the reorganization, he charg-
ed, "the last vestige of genuine farm
er thinking in department programs
will be ground between the upper mill
stone of centralized, business-minded
bureaucracy, and the lower milestone
of emaciated, futile farmer commit
tees. If Anderson persists in his
course, Patton predicted, congress will
reverse him later, but meanwhile he
will have done harm ito farmers, to
farm programs, to political liberalism
and to the administration"

Dishonesty has, for those who EN-
ploy it, an annoying tendency to back
fire. Truth can be depended upon tt
stand up under whatever cross fires
| it encounters, but the lie, like the
criminal, must out-guess every pos
sible eventuality. The lie, to survive
must abandon sleep, must watch for
that sudden change of weather, that
unexpected draft.
When President Roosevelt took over
the leadership of the people of the
United tSates, he sat back and took a
good, long look at the country. He
saw that $50 of the people were being
vicitimized by the remaining $50 with
the result that the country was on
the rocks. Then he got on the radio
and talked to the people about what
was to be done to remedy this situa-
ton. He told them that one of the
first things to be done was to throw
the money changers out of the temple.
With the peoples consent, he did
just that, and for thirteen years he
kept the temple a clean and whole
some place.
But when F. D. R. died, these money
changers, the monopolists, the interna-
tional bankers and cartels, the power
press and their club, the National AS
sociation of Manufacturers, drew
new breath of life and got down to
work to retrieve their losses.
Now THEY sized up the situation
and saw a country fighting the most
devastating war of all time without
domestic disruption and with the peo-

Officers of board of directors ell

Perry Melton, Kalispel, Chairman;

man; Mrs. E. H. Beller, Columbia

members are Haakon Isakson, Big

While the people interested in the
Flathead County Voters Council are,
for the most part, active in veteran,
farm and labor organizations, there is
no official representation on the
voters council from such organiza-
lions. Those participating are doing
so as individuals, according to Chair
man Melton.
1t is planned to hold several COM
munity meetings about the county be-
fore the general election to discuss
and campaign issues. The
first Of such meetings is scheduled for

day evening, October II at p. m.
The current reorganization of the
Flathead County Voters Council is an

torture and bullying are very admir-

In one of the last speeches F. D. r
made to us, he said:
"These same peace building tasks
were faced nearly a generation ago
They were botched by a republican
administration. We must not let it hap
pen again. We WILL not let it happier
again"
The people will keep faith with
their greatest friend, their greatest
president. The money changers have
failed to realize that people have the
habit of memory. The people of our
country, under the leadership of f. d.
r. learned that they have inalienable
rights and that they must protect
those by exercising vigilance and in
telligence in the employment of that
weapon, the vote.

openly boast in public places that
when the people have "had enough" Of
the squeeze they will obligingly vote
into the power the DULLES who perpe-
trated it, the money changers are put

On November 9Th, the people will
say enough but they will say it by
using their votes to throw out of con-
gress those tools of the monopolists
who have been obstructing the hand
of the president and the working of
our government for the good of all of
us. The answer to Have you had en-
ough?" will be to send to congress
men who will lose no time repairing
the damage done our economy by the
two-year sit-down strike of the reac-
tionaries.
The answer to this soiled slogan of
the money changers is going to be

Albright Charges Groups
With Indifference To Vets
Says Millions Of
Dollars Going
Down The Sewer

ANNAPOLIS, (ANP)- Cali
ing the evidence of apathy towards
veterans welfare among Negro or
ganizatlons as a dangerous racial
sleeping sickness JOS. Albright
liaison officer in Veterans admin
itration, charged that millions OF
dollars rightfully due Negro vet
Grams are going down the sewer
in a recent address here before
the Annapolis forum
The evidence I have gathered
from the mass of letters received
from Negro veteran in all parts OF
the country has thoroughly con-
vinced me that these men and
women are not securing the bene-
fits TO which they are entitled un
der the law because organizations
have failed to provide them With
the encouragement, counsel and
advice enthusiastically being plac-
ed at the disposal of veterans be-
longing to other groups. This is a
sheer tragedy" Albright said
LIFE INSURANCE
Dwelling specifically upon the
national service life insurance the
specker pointed out that If evary
Net toe ii service was encoTa ged
TO apply for and maintain the Inn
it in coverage, we would eventual
ly control almost 10 billion dollars
in hard cash. In 90 years, this
wealth would be available, and
would literally lift us up by our
economic bootstraps."
Stating that practically every Ne
gro organization has contact with
some veterans, Albright said that
it is the solemn duty of thes or
ganizations to become conversant
With veterans laws and their op-
Grafton SO that every Negro vete-
ran will have some place to pro-
vide himself with authentic infor-
nation Through the close co
operation of the Negro press, the
facilities of my office, specifically
created by Gen. Bradley for the
purpose Of advising and counsel
hing Negro organizations on the
operation of Veterans administra-
ton facilities, have been publicized
If these organizations do not avail
themselves of these services, they
have no one to blame but them
selves.
WANT SECURITY
Albright closed his blunt lecture
by saying that veterans do not
want plaudits and ballyhoo. They
want jobs, housing, education and
general security They have every
reason in the world to expect the
help of their own people to secure
these things. And if that assist
ance is not forthcoming, one of
these days there is going to be an
accounting"
The Annapolis forum went on rec
ord to establish itself as an or
ganization for providing all poss-
lble assistance to veterans in the
community
