The Sunday evening "chfettar-ehatter” fell flat, even the Hew Deal newspaper# gave it trait editorial support or comment The "Fifth Column” Is a new dag to wave before the people right at a time when the whole nation has in mind the observance o f Memorial Day in honor o f the boys o f the C io l War as well as those o f the World War. The nation has not forgotten "He Kept .Da Out o f War” and no " fifth Column” movement will march the populace to the enlistment headquarters iu great numbers. What is the "Fifth Column” and wh b class constitutes it? There is"such a class but how come it to be so dangerous at this time? We have had it more or less for years, but not until the New Deal was in charge was it ever in control o f any branch o f the government. Communists and those who sympathize with their doctrine constitute the "Fifth Column” in this country and abroad in nations that have fallen victim fo Hitler’s big drive,, ft was only a few years ago that the Communists were the "Fifth Column” o f the Democratic party backing Roosevelt. The Dies committee exposed .it and the startling statement that 500 government appointments were to be at their disposal in government departments, including the cabinet, this being the price fo r support o f this element at the polls election day- , ; , . , . Harry Bridges, Western labor leader, alien Communist, is *at large in this country at the grace o f secretary o f Labor Perkins, a Roosevelt appointee. Seventeen Communists were indicted by a ^Federal Grand Jury in Detroit but later these charges were nolled by Attorney General Douglass), Red .sym- ' pathizer, appointed by Roosevelt. John Lv Lewis, originator of the sit-down-strike, who heads a coal miner union that con- , tributed $100,000 to the Roosevelt campaign fund has an or­ ganization o f Communists in control. Frank Murphy, former Michigan Governor, defended,sit-down strikers in auto plants. Elevated to Supreme Court by Roosevelt and this body..this week gave a divided opinion in Court that a manufacturer could not collect damages from labor unions authorizing sit- down Strikes. Every. Roosevelt appointee on the Supreme Court joined In the majority decision which brought joy into the hearts o f all "Fifth Columnists” . Even Eleanor Roosevelt . ’ joined with her husband in the early movement, o f the "Youth Conference” , and' openly supported Communist organizations. Being "Fifth Columnists” and not understanding the art of clever deception, the young folks demanded, outright support o f their cause from the White House. Only getting a half­ hearted support the young folks being grounded in their theory o f government had no cause, to ride double on the issue and quickly turned against their hosts at the White House. Just recently two N ew York Communists who,had the support o f the New Deal cabinet' labor leader were sent to prison. ’ And with great gusto King Franklin goes eh the air to warn the people o f this nation to be on guard o f what he terns the "Fifth Column” , a clique ,o f undesirables o f his owu choosing for political purposes, many o f whom he has named to places o f importance in government departments. , THE CALM THAT FOLLOWS THE STORM? The latest, greatest and foremost o f the recurrent mental blitzkriegs o f the Roosevelt administration has missed fire, and is in retreat. The people o f the United States have refused to surrender their independence o f thought and speech even when Nazi . seizure of, Kansas C ityjs pointed out to them as a possibility. Aweek ago the New Dealers hoped and believed’ they had public opinion on the run even to the extent of being able to set aside the Republican presidential nominating.convention, so there,might be, devised a coalition government or defense, Headed o f course by the present Occupant o f the White House. But the country has been shocked too often'by the neVer- ending emergencies o f the brain trusters, by the blue eagle o f NBA, by the hysterical emergency o f handing the Supreme Court arid the entire'independent judiciary o f the nation over to presidential dictation <"Now, now, now,” as Mr. Roosevelt Shouted ih a fireside chat)—not to mention other ,instances;— and as a result the public has become almost immune to White House hysteria. 1 Among the first to speak up in righteous defiance o f the defense hysteria, in addition, to the free newspapers o f the middle west hinterland, was Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, who Had heen trying fo r several years to impress the federal gov­ ernment with the necessity for improved air defense, citing the Nazi example as evidence. . * • Despite the administration effort' to "smear” him into alienee, calling him "the on.ee Shy and reticent Mr. Lindbergh” , one public figure after another stepped up to speak his mind, including America’s No. 1 World War ace, Capt. EJV. BicRen- bacher, all substantiating the contention that we have no busi­ ness rushing into the European war to save Poland; that we are not In danger o f ’'invasion day after tomorrow or next week? that we should proceed coolly and methodically to build a well- rounded national defense, instead o f devoting all our efforts to* Mr, Roosevelt’s personal hobby, the navy, or now suddenly grind out 50,000 nondescript war planes. Yes, the war hysteria blitzkrieg has failed to overwhelm the thinking public. "Der Tag” o f the New Dealers hasn’ t ar­ rived yet. They will still have Congress, the Republican party and fearless, free-spoken citizens to contend with.' Soon to be heard will be official words o f sweet appeasement—words of alibi and explanation—saying they were misunderstood. „ — Ohio State Journal L » * ■ t r m . * . . h ME JM aribi i V iiiijiji . itM/U/S jvnm « f /M b tm o « t «rw «r “ The K*v.

He" proposesJan increase of ten percent on normal tax­ es, this extra tax to be called a “De­ fense Tax”.-'Every owner’ of an auto­ mobile will throw hi# hat into the air when he learns that he also will be called upoti to pay an additional one and one half cent per gallon extra .federal tax on all gasoline purchased and this to be known as an extra “De­ fense Tax”. Gasoline selling now at 16%c -a gallon-would.cost 18p under the Rooseyelt plan. ( ' CongrCsman-at-large George Bend­ er, Republican, Cleveland, according to the Congressional Record, blistered the seat of the Roosevelt trousers if we read the Record correctly and we measure up the Roosevelt “Fireside Chat” of Sunday night. Bender wants to khowwhat Roosevelt has done with the seven billon dollars congress has voted his administration the past eight year* for preparedness? Last week Rooseyelt asked for two billion more for defense in-this country. The pub­ lic generally does not know that Roosevelt will not stand for directed appropriations by congress. It must be in lump sums of sort, or you sign che check and I will dll in the amount. Bender asks what this seven billion has bought, who has spent it and who’ has got it? Commenting he says “We .iannot find defense behind bales piled lpon bales o f dollar bills as Gen. Jackson fortified himself behind bales i t cotton,at New Orleans/ Ifife cannot nake a fort out' of “pork barrels”. We cannot be content with airplanes that float only in oratorical hot air. Who got the motley that Senator Clark truthfully -says was poured down a rat hole, and who were the rats at the other end of the hole? » Bender continuing says we appro­ priated the money more than a year igo, we now find we have only 58 airships which arc not obsolete. We should find out where the responsi­ bility lies. We are supposed to have a standing army o f 235,000 men accord-* ing to the money authorised. George C. Marshall, chief of- staff says we only have an army of 75,000 men and some- o f these need more equipment. “ T o r r i d Z o n e ” •XNtl* to AM g at tit* lUffMtt Theater, Apring. r ajttflAyaMilkluAakMW iu A.
