trine is born of fear. The fear is not
that Russia will ever attack us, and
not the fear that America, with all
its homes, farms, churches, customs,
Bill of Rights, will ever become a
Communist nation, but the fear that
the American people will notice the
immense profits being squeezed from
labor by the Sixty families, and claim
a decent share for labor
They fear depression-not because
the Sixty families would suffer, but
because men can think better on a
hungry stomach. And foreign gifts do
postpone a depression here. We keep

even before his veto message was
written (. he could have privately
warned the southern bloc that they
had to vote right or else -.
AS it was, Truman was able to
switch only Senators John Sparkman
Cd, Ala.) and Scott Lucas Cd, Ill.) and
Sparkman had publicly announced he
would switch on a veto while Lucas
saw sure defeat in industrial Illinois
| if he again took the side of the Natl.
Assn. of Manufacturers.
Among the votes Truman could
have won over by some political pres
sure are these: Senators Tom Stewart
Cd, Tenn.); Allen Ellender Cd, La.);
Truman's close friend, Carl Hatch Cd,
NMD; Herbert O'Conor Cd, Md, who
needs some help in an election frauds
case; James Eastland Cd. Miss.);
Spessard Holland Cd, Fla.); Richard
Russell Cd, Ga.) and possibly Burnet
Maybank Cd, SCI. He could have
directed Thomas to fly back from
Geneva, where an army plane was
turn to vote.
There are other votes among the 20,
but the names above would have given
Truman a safe margin :. and little
pressure on Senators George Aiken
Or, VT and Charles Tobey OR, NH
would have been effective since both
men were hanging in the balance up
to the final rollcall.
Actually, Truman's performance
on the Taft-HartIey bill is in line
with his actions on the killing of
OPA and on rent controls, and his
failure to make a fight for a real
housing program.
Lacking leadership and the stomach
or ability for political infighting, Tru-

whether such surging political oppon'
qaria, Greece, France, Italy, Spain, or
merely agrarian dissenters, as in
| China, calling themselves Communists.
Returning home, it seems that our
corporation owned press is devoting
more editorial space to hiding the
flaws in this doctrine than to all other
topics combined
The method is now to give good
American dollars to such fascist re-
gimes as that which in Turkey bars
all labor unions, denies all freedom of
speech, or other personal liberty, or
to an unwanted corrupt monarchy in
Greece-finally to bride such pliable
regimes as that of Italy and France to
exclude from cabinets communists,
though there be enough voters of that
faith to insure cabinet representation,
but for fear of losing bread and meat
from America, cabinets are changed.
While this doctrine has gained, by
high pressure craftsmanship of the big
interest Hobbies in Washington, tenn
porary majority, mostly Republicans
in both houses of congress, the deadly
argument of the intelligent students is
wearing it down.
9-to-1 Against Gravy for Turkey
The Gallup polls indicate a nine to
one majority against giving military
aid to Turkey. Most are in favor of
feeding the Greeks, but of demanding
a change to Democracy in Athens AS
to Italy, most of us favor feeding the
country, but letting the majority rule |
them, and as for France, with 5 -
million voters in the Communist party, |
(this is the largest political party in
France) the people | have met from |
the universities, Virginia, Harvard |
Princeton, say the French voter is as ,
well educated, intelligent as the Amer
lean voter. Any attempt by Washing
ton to control French politics by the
Truman plan or any other plan, ex-
cept the example of good living stand
ards under our system, is fool hardy
and useless expenditure of our money
Our intellectuals single out our pol
icy in Turkey for ridicule. They argue
that there are far more Turks in the
Soviet Union than in Turkey. This is
rue. Once Turkey embraced what was
called Turkistan. The Turks are still
here but West Turkistan is now di-
gided into five Soviet Republics,
Usbek, Turkeman, KAYAK, Kirghiz and
Tadzhik. (Ency. Brittanica). These
ar outnumber the Turks in Turkey.
All speak the same language, are
Moslems, are more nearly the same
ace as Turks in Turkey than Cana
lians are the same race that we are.
Our war mongers, ie., big capital
SITS, Big Brass, Press, are trying to

would no sooner join us in event of

fused to stay or go 'behind the fence"
during the Today strike of the Miners
Union, and for this were adjudged
by officials of the ACM Company to
be disloyal to the company.
AS a result, the Miners Union and
many other unions of Butte formed
and financed the Montana Anti-Dis-
elimination League" for the avowed
purpose of redressing the wrongs of
the Disseminated against unorganized
persons and do away with a form of
coercion which has no place in Butte
or any other American community.
1t will be readily apparent to the
unbiased reader that this practice of
enforcing loyalty to the company as
a first and paramount condition to
employment (above all other consider
ations) can and does produce "a large
and subservient class of citizen work
ers. And it is not desirable or good
for any community in the United
States with its concepts of democracy,
to permit the practice of coercion that
the ACM Company has adopted as it's
policy.
HitIer's Helper
The policy of coercion produces
many by-products, all of them bad and
undesirable. AS an example, the case
of the Anaconda Wire and Cable Co.
Ian important subsidiary of the ACM
Co.. can be cited: This subsidiary was
hailed into court and convicted of de-
livering to the United States govern
ment during the war; defective ma
terial which went into such war ma
chimes as airplanes. The company
paid fines totaling $1,626,000
1t is readily and reasonably deducti-
BILE that loyalty, to the company had
been developed to a high degree or
the personnel would have disclosed
the use of faulty material before it
went into airplanes and other war
thus endangering the lives
of the defenders of the United States.
The practice of coercion by the ACM
Co., as instanced in 1916, is repugnant
to all right-thinking people; it is a
degrading influence on the citizenship,
it is not part of the aims and am
billions for which American young men
and women fought in World War III,
and in fact, is a positive negation of
all that is desirable and worthy in
4 free and Independent citizenship.
The discrimination practiced by the
ACM Co. has been and is being fought
Dy the Montana Anti-Discrimination
League through established govern
nent agencies and will be fought to

Irving H. Flamm. president,

sThe passage of this bill would
tend to intimidate many sincere
Americans and thereby deny them
their constitutional right of free
speech.
In that case the legislature
would itself be guilty of I'M
American conduct aimed at SUBJ
verting our free institutions
"As the late Justice Oliver Wen
dell Holmes once indicated, it is
only through the free competition
of new ideas in the market place,
that we can find out which of
them will best serve our common
interests"
Judge Samuel Heller. Municipal
Court:
This is fascism trying to
sneak in under the guise of
democracy. I can't express my
self too strongly against such
legislation which would strip
people of their right to express
their opinions.
'The Spanish Inquisition is his
tory's example of the depth to
which religious fanaticism can

the elimination of a period of

'This is not a way to make
democracy attractive.

fradiction with all our demo-

tor, Illinois chapter, Progressive

"This legislation would tend to
outlaw those groups and parties
not in favor with the political
party now in control. These bills,
while appearing to be directed
only at the Communist Party, are
aimed at American democracy.
THE definition of sun- Amer
lean would include the groups
that stood for Roosevelt's Eco
nonic Bill of Rights and the

Benjamin Weintraub. president of
the Decalogue Society of Lawyers:
Speaking for myself and not
for the Decalogue Society, I'm
convinced that the type Of legis-

the minds of the people of this
city and state whose attention
should be concerned with prob

''The history of all such legis-

indefinite and leave too much

Irene Mccoy Gaines. president,

IT'S just going TO be another

Earl Dickerson. president, Ma

These bills are undemo-
