NOT RECENT JUST A NEW

NOT RECENT JUST A NEW
LOw-Editor
In that connection I was somewhat
surprised mot critical however) at
the recent Voice Editorial CAN YOU
BEAT TIP" protesting the propaganda
activities of our government While
I heartily agree with the editorial my
surprise was occasioned by the fact
that this government "propagandizing'
seemed (from the tone of the editori-
AID to be looked upon as something
recent, whereas most of us have long
realized that we have for years been
under a system of Government by
propaganda" For an outstanding ex-
ample in recent months see the Nc
Carran- Wood Act. This is pure and I'M
adulterated propaganda INDUCED in by
CONGRESS-, not simply by a branch
of the armed service In that connec-
ton too President Harry nearly "Iet
the cat out of the bag" when in mo-
ment of temper he referred to the prop
uganda machine of another branch of
the service.
For the last year our national gov
eminent has been trying its "dernd-
est" to propagandiZe us into war with
Russia, which Russia is quite evident
ly trying to avoid and may success
fully continue to avoid unless Joe
Stain in some thoughtless moment
let's slip some derogatory remark
about Margaret's singing, in which
case we can look for total mobiliza-
ton overnight.
What "irks" me most just at pres
ent is the fact that the public general
~ does not seem to perceive the con-
certed attempt being made to establish
a reactionary dictatorship in this ma
ton by the Missouri gang, legitimate
successor to the ohio Gang" of the
early twenties, and about which I
hone TO n al 10
if time and space permits. It's incep-
tion goes back to the time in 1886
when an attempt was made to induce
General Smedley -. Butler to run for
national commander of the Legion and
lead a fascist "putsch"on Washington
BY the way one of the Directors of
our Anaconda Copper Mining Co had
a large finger in that pie, I'll fur
nish names and data in later com
munications at time and space be-
comes available.
VETO, THE BEST FEATURE OF
1851 LEGISLATURE
Now just a few nasty remarks"
anent our recent legislative fiasco IT
seems that Governor Bonner did much |
better job with his veto than either
or both houses did with their enact
ments. My only criticism of the Gov
ernor is that he didn't use the veto |
long or hard enough, there were still !
several bills that he permitted to slip |
by" although / wouldn't go so far as
to endorse the sentiments of one friend |
who said, using the vernacular, TT !
would have been a good thing if he'd /
vetoed the whole dam works" That |
sentiment however, seems quite pre-
valent among rank and file citizens, /
which may create grounds for consid-
cradle activity on the part of the in
term committee" otherwise known as !
the little Dies committee" Creation
of that committee is also one step in
the well conceived plan to "Hitlerize"
America and which, if between the
FBI and the interim committee I am
not kept too busy with minor details
L intend to expose
Enactment of HB 1888 into law is
another part of the plan but this law
will ! presume be "honored more in
the breach than in the observance"
Doesn't it seem that America and
Montana are both getting pretty well
'Hitlerized' when we set up commit
tees to investigate all our citizens who
dare to express an opinion of their
own 1t looks like all that is needed
now is an official Gestapo.
