Entered at the Post Office, Cedarville, Ohio, October ” 1,1887, as second class matter. * Friday, July 19, 1949 THE ANTIOCH CONTROVERSY It is to be regretted that famous old Antioch College at Yellow Springs has become involved in arguments and charges relative to the activities on its campus o f Communist groups. Greene County Common Pleas Judge Frank L. Johnson began the controversy when he charged recently that the school's attitude toward, communism “ *ended to undermine American government.” ' To this, the college president, A, D. Henderson, makes a replv that l1- open to some criticism, for he says: "The way To debunk the Earl Browders is to point out the fallacies of their arguments. Steel is not tempered by keeping it carefully away from the furnace; neither are college students . . . for leadership hi democracy.” . ' The comparison is not quite Suited to the occasion. A critic might answer that to expose the human body to smallpox is not the way* to immunize it, and that the mind in its formative Stage can all too easily be swayed and misled by subtle propa­ ganda such as the Browders put out. Certainly, it would be just as wise if the youthful mind were not placed in contact with foreign, tinriejmimtic ideals and ideas unless it can at the same time lie proved beyond doubt that these are false. Since the world has not been entirely convinced that com­ munism is not desirable, as indicated by the millions who fol­ low this, to us, false doctrine, it would Beemthe better part of wisdom in this country if our youth were kept in contact with things more American, if they were grounded more firmly in our own ideals a r i not given too much encouragement in chas­ ing the rainbow gods of the Stalins et al.—Ohio State Journal. THE FIBER OF STRENGTH Whether by revolution, resolution or by conquest there is not one single important Democracy left in Europe today. Hit- lerisn’t the First Cause. He is the Result. The real disaster came with the breakdown of national character. Politicians anxious to feather their own nests, to perpetuate themselves in office, or to replace those already in office, played class against class, and sold favors for votes. Pap for this group, a handout for that one, taxes and borrowings, so the coffers might be emptied where the votes looked sweetest and the time ripest. France built herself*a Maginot Line to repel what she call­ ed the enemies of tier Democracy. Rut behind that Line the things that had made France great were forgotten. Forgotten was production. Forgotten the fact that Labor, . Capital, Farmer and Trade were merely names, that all who bore those labels were just plain Frenchmen. France got Social Security, public works, short hours and high wages, subsidies for her pressure groups, and a Maginot Line. But with all her armed might, she lost the Country. . Americans must pull government out of the Auctioneer’s chair and stop the Public Auction Sale. A Frenchman (De Tocqueville in 1831) did us the honor to give our moral and intellectual fiber'as his first reason for believing that we could preserve the United States as a representative republic. That, implies individual vigor. It implies in all pur our customs, habits, opinions and social intercourse, in all of the details of our daily lives, that we think and live as free in­ dividuals—not as members of classes, groups, organizations or parties. . - ■ It implies that when any considerable number of us are in trouble,, the rest of us will help but not that the PubliC'Purse is the-Public Trough. It implies work, the creation of wealth, the spread of trade, the full employment of capital, unity of purpose—but for no particular group, nor at the expense of any particular group, It implies that a new Administration js needed in Washington, for The one now there stands for everything that has caused the self-defeat of Democracy in Europe. Let us not believe that armed strength is all We need for protection Strength from within is the indispensable basis of defense. In our mad haste to build mechanical defense, let us recover the pioneer spirit that prepared us for Freedom. A re­ turn to the moral convictions that inspired those men who plan­ ned our Democracy .165' years ago is the most important step to' take in safeguarding that Democracy. With that, the army and navy.—Farm Journal. r ' - t i COMMUNISM EXEMPLIFIED IN XENIA With the Communistic element in control of the' Demo­ cratic national convention in Chicago this week, boasting of What the New Deal has done, the followers of the radicals in Xenia using the tools of the -Roosavelt-Lowis union known as the* CIO was challenging the Tghtful ownership of property as well as law and order. . The CIO strike at the Hooven & Allison Company plant In Xenia, Monday, should be an object lesson to home and farm owners as to what industry faces under the New Deal, the Roosevelt name for Hitlerism in this country. Strikers.took charge of the plant gates and refused to permit employees, union or non-union, to enter. Threats were made to all who would challenge the strikers. The action of the Communistic' CIO against the H.- & A. was in a manner an attack against several hundred stockhold­ ers, educational institutions, cemetery associations, as well as Trust funds that belong to widows and orphans. The owner ship of the company is largely held in this county and those who have money invested in common or preferred stock have had an example of a New Deal fostered attack against their financial holdings. . With Democrats in county, state and nation expected to endorse the action of the Communistic controlled Democratic convention in Chicago that is on record as approving CIO methods, we take it local Democratic candidates will have no objection to# public expression as to how they stand on the H. & A. strike this week. It must be assumed that a Greene County nominee for a legislative position could not vote for any bill in the Ohio legislature that would conflict with a New Deal CIO mandate; in as much as a prosecutor must protect both public and private property, how could a Democratic prosecutor come to the defense of those who own either in­ dustry or farm land in this county if the CIO should take the same position as-waif taken Monday? If in the absence of a Common Pleas judge how could any property owner expect To have his say in <?ourt in defense of his own property if a Democratic Probate Judge was asked for an injunction against those who would seize that which did not belong to them be­ cause a New Deal promised protection and gives support to a Communistic labor union known as the CIO? The attack against the Hooven & Allison Company Monday was not against a corporate body but against Greene county citizens that have lifetime savings invested in this company. To permit the CIO or any other organization to dictate what should be done with that which did not belong to them, all'be­ cause a Communistic administration in Washington was the god-father of the mob idea of rule or ruin was more than the company management would permit and protection was sought in the courts. Regardless of "what has been or has not been promised by a convention in Chicago, controlled this week by known Com­ munists, Hopkins, Ickes, Cohen, Arnold, Jackson, Lewis, I)ub- , insky, Hillman, Browder and Bridges, the American people must give up private property rights if,the New Deal is to be permitted to be fastened on any kind o f ‘property in the future. As we have pointed out before, Roosevelt is Hitler, Mus­ solini, and Stalin, all three in one known as the New Deal. With Roosevelt in control o f the government four more years the CIO will dictate every hour of farm labor that must be paid* Ex­ empt for house labor a New Deal union controls all other labor except that of the farm and that comes next. 59 ! .m.wmn'um'nHmnwmiwmm'unnm•j , * developing in C«J*d* tJl*t | the H , 8 . is not doing- whet she Ijw cm fad I* o f England.

The result was 141 convictions fines aggregating $3,035 and costs amounting to $088.75. Thursday went on record calling for peace and condemning military train­ ing as proposed. The ministers in the resolution claim that auch a move aa contemplated' by the administration would be contrary to the best interests o f our democracy, and a direct viola-* tion pf the-fundamental bill o f rights ond a moat dangerous step. Each city that bids for a con­ vention must put up a lot o f money, for instance Chicago hotels and tav­ erns put up $150,000. The hotel men are not all Democrats and member# o f that party, Operating* a hotel is a business and- the hotel puts up so much per room to guarantee funds, The hotel expects to get .ull this back and some more and up goes the room rate and you now have the reason for paying for a room five days when you register, The contract be­ tween the convention management and hotels is that the gabfest must last five days. Opening on Monday noon most delegates must be on hand some time Sunday. The. convention will be strung along with a little fire­ works each day to help soak UP the beer placed on sale from which the. Democratic management gets a big profit. Thursday the nomination for president will be made and the vice president on Friday, is the usual rule, This keeps most o f the party delegate's over the five days and the hotels get their money back with good interest. The Democrats will have no mer­ chant make use of the cost o f goods to a consumer by reference to any or all federal taxes, which are more to­ day than any time in the history and more will follow after the November election. The Internal Revenue Bureau has issued a warning to merchants that a fine is possible o f not more than $1,000 and imprisonment riot ex­ ceeding a year can be levied upon any one or all persons who represent that the price of goods o f any kind is un­ justified will be prosecuted. So far as* known neither Hitler or Mussolini haVe adopted no such means to silence anyone who has a right to inform a customer where some o f the cost of the goods might properly be placed. Some months ago an economist point­ ed out that every five cent bar o f soap represented 314 cents in taxes, federal and state, and the real fcosfc was 1% cents a bar including the profit. We suppose it is unlawful to point out that gasoline that costs 17c a gallon carries with it 6 cents tax, federal and state, depending on the state where the purchase is made. No wonder the Democratic-Communidtic administra­ tion wants to scare merchants against "giving facts as to the cost o f goods if the purchaser asks for it. sbo Some o f the Democratic speakers at the Chicugo. conclave this week boldly attempted defense o f the Roosevelt position in entering the European war. It was done by openly stating the administration had no in­ tention o f taking this step. The radio the same day told o f a Democratic congressman intending introducing a resolution for investigation o f the) order given Ambassador Bullitt, to France by both Roosevelt and Hull that this country Would send both ships rind men to aid France and England. France has openly charged unfaithfulness on the part o f both the U. S. and England. Bullitt visited this country some months ago when the news o f his instruction leaked out and he refused at that time to stand ’for an interview. Suddenly he left these shores by the Clipper to escape news' men. All this is not in harmony with speeches made in Chicago this week. good hit promise to King George. You may see in the next year or so certain nations, probably England, Germany and Italy, with Russia, all united in a. war against the United States. The Hon. Charles Sawyer, prom inent Democratic lre.dir in rn o.‘t, the air speech from Chicago repeated some American history in reference to a third term for the presidency, Saw­ yer quoted Thomas Jefferson as being the first to express himself on tha. suggestion. We believe Mr. Sawyei will find on closer reading that Georg* Washington was the first president tt take a position against a third term fo r president o f any political party Both Washington and Jefferson wer« in accord against the third term hut Democratic leaders have been trying to read a new definition to suit the oc­ casion that Roosevelt could accept an­ other term without violating a tradi­ tion. With some 800 Democratic dele­ gates as office holders and drawing state or federal salaries they had a perfect right to insist that Roosevelt should have another term—to continue the Hyde Park Squire on the pay roll another four years. Here is how Ohio's first seven cities stack- up in population according to the new census figures; 1940 Cleveland _878,385 Cincinnati _______ -.452,852 Columbus — — 1-304,972 T o le d o ....................... 281,096 Akron _____________243,130 Dayton ----------— ..211,456 Youngstown — ^.167,426 1930 '900,4291 451,160 290,564 290,718 255,040 200,982 169,912 The speeches on the war issue are not in accord with the real facts but a means o f side-tracking public sent! ment Until after the November elec­ tion when Democrats intended enter­ ing the War just as Woodrow Wilson after his second election. Again the mail of congressmen and senators is heavy with protests of the draft. To get around this Roosevelt suggests using the state militia from each state and that certain married men can resign if they care to, but single men must serve and will be called first. After the November election then will follow the draft for all boys between the ages of 18 and 23. Next veek Congress will be asked to pro­ vide money for guns and. uniforms. In many respects all national con­ ventions are the same especially the contracts with the city that sponsors such conventions. As a rule hotels and taverns put up most of the money which convention committees demand. Delegates reserve hotel rooms in ad­ vance and find out they must pay for five days whether they use the room op not. The contract also specifies that the convention must continue five days, With the Democrats this year the convention could have opened and closed Monday in view of the fact that Roosevelt had n majority of the dele­ gates. The only contest was for ;vice president. The situation in the Far East where England and Japan plan a joint agree­ ment, which, meaft the U. S. must stop giving aid to helpless China, in the four year war that has beett waged For the 18 months from January 1, 1939, the collections made by Attorney General Thomas J, Herbert totalled $1,875,435, or an increase o f $320,104 over collections during the similar | period under the previous administra­ tion, according to an official statement I given out July 1, .Collections for June | of this year totalled $161,901, as com­ pared to $26,747 colected by the form­ er Attorney General in June, 1938. Governor Bricker has disclosed that he will invite Wendell L. Willkie, Re­ publican candidate fo r President, to make his first appearance in Ohio at the State Fair on Governor’s Day, | August 29. State Treasurer Don H. Ebright re­ ports un increase o f 10.4 per cent in I sales tax income for the first six months o f this year as compared to the same period last year. The state income from this source was $24,472,- 873.70 this year and $22,170,162.28 for the similar period last year. The state treasury balance as o f July 1, 1940, was $38,206,820.38 this figure being increased to $42,407,915.36 at the close | o f business on July 5. Army recruiting stations in Ohio will be called upon to enlist about 7>- 200 men as their quota under the ex­ pansion program which will lift the army's enlisted strength to 375,000. An additional 1,200 or 1,500 men arc! expected to be sought in Ohio as soon | as funds arc available for the propos­ ed increase to 400,000.

There are i no. restrictions about citizens o f the U. S. A. entering Canada, except, if | you are driving, you must present your auto license registration certi-1 ficate. According to the Canadian [ Travel Bureau,.•a dominion govern­ ment organization, there are no new I restrictions regarding entry into Canada. Americans may take into Canada cameras, golf clubs, camp equipment, fishing tackle, automobiles and personal effects without payment of either duty or deposit. They may ] take out o f Canada merchandise ag­ gregating iip-to $100, free o f duty pro-1 vided they remain in-Canada not less i than 48 hours, But here is the catch. The United States wants p ro o f o f citi­ zenship o f all who enter this country. In other words, you can go to Canada I on your vacation without credentials but you can’t come home again with­ out them, so as a safety first measure, if you are going to Canada, better take along your birth certificate which can .be secured from the Probate Judge in the county where you were horn.. If you write him, enclose 50 cents. If a birth certificate is not available, (December 20, 1908 is the date when Ohio compulsory birth reg­ istration law becarite effective) get an affidavit signed by your parents, if] living, or a close relative, stating the1 exact date and place o f ypur birth, and your parents' names including your mother's maiden name. A let­ ter o f personal identification fpom one o f your county or city officials might] expedite matters.
