THE NEW PARTY PLATFORM
By ''BILL-"

through a course of sanity and understanding
and cooperation, can we, and all peoples of
the earth hope to avoid another and even
more catastrophe war of humiliation? How
else can we hope to save our civilization and
ourselves? Surely by now it must be appar-
ent to all thinking people that no nation can
irresponsibly wave big stick at all other ma
tions, without soon discovering that one or
more of the other nations are capable of way
ing just as big stick. The history of the
world shows that big stick waving has newt
ably resulted in death and desolation-that
teamwork and the conference table are the
only sensible alternatives as long as the peo-
pie of the world insist on maintaining indie
pendent national states.
1t is my considered opinion that this plat
form may we'll offer a ray of hope to all who
desire to bring about greater economic and
social justice, and yet have hearty distaste
for substituting one form of tyranny for an
other. In essence it proposes, BY WAY OF
THE BALLOT, to bring about many long over
due advances that our democracy may be-
come all that the word implies. It's adoption
might we'll prove the middle way" whereby
we can not only retain our cherished political
freedoms, but may also achieve the economic
and social security and the peace that is fore
most in the hearts of all of us.

plethoric Golfers.
AS has been said, there is an ''iron cur
tain" surrounding the inside" of the NTEA.
Those out in front, represent powerful, spe-
cial interests who really object to the ''inva-
sion" of the farmer who through his co-opera-
tives cutting into their former free ex-
ploitation of him. The conduct of the
NTEA's campaign against the interests of the
farmers co-operatives shows clearly that
these special interests have pushed in their
stacks of blue chips to get the farmer back
In his former state of complete dependence
on their dubious grace in the marketing of
his commodities and the purchase of his
necessities.
The same effort made in the Republican
National Convention by the NTEA will un-
doubtedly be made in the Democratic con-
vention. The same little business men sold
the idea by the NTEA that they are "bg
shots" will probably be there with liberal
expense accounts provided by the NTEA to
urge it's mission of destruction on the poll
ticians.
Whether or not the NTEA is successful
in both conventions the evidence is clear that
this issue of double taxation of the savings
made by the farmers through their co-opera-
tives will be an outstanding issue in the next
congress- The Co-ops cannot afford to just
hope for the best They have to take off
their gloves and come in fighting
And the time to start fighting is before the
election-NOW. Start a drive to find out
how each candidate for office stands on this
issue and vote accordingly.-H S. BRUCE.

guide to the voter in evaluating the merits of
the various candidates on either party ticket
1t is conservative statement in the true
sense of the word in that it places the empha-
sis on preserving our cherished freedoms our
resources, while at the same time removing
the economic and social abuses which are
slowly but in a deadly manner destroying
both.
This statement is not one to lend comfort
to those who believe that monopoly control of
industry and finance, and yes, government,
are one and the same as ''our American way.
To the point and without word of hedging
or compromise, it insists not on futile regula-
ton but on the elimination by democratic pro-
cesses of these octopusian evils which are de-
stroying American democracy. However to
the small businessman, the farmer the work
er, it gives definite promise of returning to
the American scene a truly free. enterprise

vent of the industrial revolution Realistic

tent in view of their previous personal exper-
fences in fighting to survive against the in
roads of monopoly, whether it be the chain
grocery on the corner, or discriminatory ship
ping rates of the railroad trust.

Likewise, the bigots, the racists and all

talents, regardless of the color of their skin.
or their choice of the God they worship. In
brief, it calls for the application to all, the
first amendment to our constitution.
In the field of foreign affairs its call for
sanity and understanding may strike a
strange note in the minds of many who, al
though ferventy desiring peace, have had
their thinking gradually conditioned into a
war-fear psychosis. And yet, how else, but

Nearly 500 persons last night were
forced to leave the Central Theater,
425 Ninth street NV, when a fire
in the insulation around the air.
conditioning unit filled the amuse-
ment hall with smoke.
-Four engine companies, two truck
companies and a rescue squad an
swered a box alarm, pulled by
Walter T. Cannon, manager of the
theater, at $50 pm. Fire equip
ment and hordes of spectators cut
off traffic between E and D streets
on Ninth street NV. for nearly an
hour.
Mr.. Cannon said he was standing
near his second-floor Office when
Vincent Portale, 16, of 427 Fourth
street NV, an usher, told him "the
theater was getting smoky"
The manager said he asked the
patrons to leave, but they were re-
luctant to go. After the arrival of
flremen, however, the smoke be-
came dense, and all spectators filed
out in an orderly fashion. The
flremen located the fire and put it
out within few minutes.
In clearing the theater, Mr.. Can
non spoke over a loud speaker sys-
tenn, asking the audience to leave
quietly. Just at that moment, Mel
vyn Douglas, appearing on the
screen, said: you're not going to
leave tonight, are you?"
