Heavily Debated, Near Finish

does not exist An individuals life
means little. It is full of duties and
obligations to the state.
Leisure Supervised.
3. Religion is attacked If it sug-
gests obedience to any one else be-
fore the state, or If it emphasizes
the importance and dignity of the
individual.
4. An individuals leisure time is
carefully supervised because the
state wants to control his waking
thoughts and actions.
S. Education and thinking are
controlled to make the masses think
and do what the dictator wants.
6. Foreign policies are aggressive,
or warlike. Fascism. looking for
more living room for its people, seeks
to build an empire.
7. To suit its own purposes, the
dictatorship directs banking and
private investment.
. 8. The dictatorship controls for
eign trade OF its people to suit its
own ends.
8. Labor is so controlled that free
collective bargaining and self-gov-
ernment by labor organizations are
abolished. In short: Free unions
are smashed.
Farming Intensified.
10. Farming Is developed inten-
sively SO the population can be fed
with It's own products. It's purpose is
to be self sufficient.
II. Transportation. beside carry
Ing goods and passengers, is built
up to ease unemployment and as a
preparation for war.
II. Fascism goes in for big arms
programs. This tends to raise living
standards. But no one knows how

A,soeioted Press StoH Writer

Very shortly the Government will
publish, for sale to the public, a
booklet called "Fascism in Action. "
This study in dictatorship-how
it works and how it gets that way
was prepared by a special stan Of
the Library Of Congress.
Representative Patman, Democrat,
Of Texas asked that 1t be done
Before it could be printed for the
public the House had to approve.
This it finally did after much
delay and fiery debate because some
members Of Congress said 1t was q
waste OF money.
The Government Printing ONCE
will announce the price OF It, which
won't be much, when it's printed.
This writer has gone through
original copies. 1t is worth the time
of any one who wants to under
stand fascism in action.
Based on Foreign Studies.
Mr.. Patman wanted 1t made public
as a companion piece to Com
munism in Action" another booklet
which the House ordered printed
last year.
This, too, was prepared by the
special Library Of Congress staff.
So far more than 100000 copies Of
it have been sold.
Neither booklet deals with any
evidences of communism or fascism
which have appeared in this country.
One sticks to Communism in Rus
sia. The other concentrates on
Fascism in Germany, Japan, Italy
and Spain.
The conclusion Of the long study
on Fascism Is. roughly, that Fascism
means these things:
/. A dictator runs q Fascist gov
ernment. He's supported by single
political party and special class.
The state, for its own so-called good
keeps every one under Its thumb.
2. Freedom, in the democratic
sense understood in this country.

! long that could last since no big
Fascist state has lasted long enough
to show it.
13. Big business and big indus
trialists are favored and strength
ened. Enough private profit is per-
mitted to let the special ruling class
get rich.
Tariffs are raised. Huge sums are
spent for military purposes. Not
only is freedom Of the individual
disregarded, so are freedom in busi-
ness dealings and investments, and
even freedom in changing jobs.

WORK OF CLUB WOMEN
IN ALASKA IS REVIEWED

Club women in Alaska undertake
and accomplish many outstanding
projects for their home communities
and the Territory, and their inter
ests and ideals are nearly identi-
cal with those of women living in
the States. The Alaska federation
has never had a convention because
of the distances involved and lack
of al elaborate transportation sys-
tenn. The first club activity by
women in Alaska was at Nome dur
ing the gold rush at the turn of
the century when they established a
center of social activity for men who
did not care to seek their recrea-
ton in saloons and dance halls.
These yer some of the points made
Monday at a meeting of the Laurel
Woman's club when Mrs. o. A.
spoke on Alaska.
The meeting was at the home
of Mrs. C. l.. Morris. "Your Geo
graphical Place Of Interest" was
the topic for roll call.
The women who organized the
social center for men were few in
number, yet the club rooms became
a community center in Nome and
carried on a definite program not
unlike that provided today by USO
units for men in the armed forces.
It was a powerful force toward
combating loneliness for men away
rom home.
There are 16 clubs in Alaska
oday and two others are being or
at Flat and Fairbanks.
