Wintered a t the Poet Office, Cedaryille, .Ohio, October SI, 1887, as second clasa matter. Friday, February 14, 1941 ENGLAND PAYS CANADA; WHY NOT THE U. S.? The Chicago Tribune brings out a fact worthy of note to- the American people after an investigation, as to how and under what agreement Canada is aiding England-in the present- war. Canada being a part of the British Empire it is interest­ ing to learn tha t England is paying Canada for all of her war supplies, wheat and pork,” The Canadians are donating nothing but man power, not even uniforms for the soldiers.' Contrast this with the hysteria that exists in the legislative halls in Washington and a t the White House about England be­ ing broke and this nation being asked to finance part of the English war debt. Moreover the Canadians are not concerned, about the Roosevelt scare tha t Hitler is going to bomb that country by air. With Canada under English control it is natural to think tha t Hitler would train his guns there first before at­ tacking the United States. The Canadians do not have that view because they believe Hitler has all he can do, win or lose the war, to control what is already in his grasp. The well planned propaganda program mapped by Wall Street bankers to keep up fever heat iin this country is shown when it was suggested in Washington tha t Churchill address the woiild by radio and this was done last Sunday. The feature of that speech which has been over-played is every war-monger sector, was tha t England does not want our soldiers but our war material, boats, guns and airplanes. The administration is going to face an embarrassing situation for if England does not want our boys the public naturally will ask the. question, “Why then call all these million boys from their homes into camp?” It is fantastic for anyone to believe th a t Hitler or any nation can land a (million soldiers on these shores or by South America. If the Roosevelt good neighbor policy means what is claimed for it these countries would not let Hitler land his men in those countries to the south of us. • As the, days go by the hand of Wall Street bankers, that own millions in bonds and securities in England, are taking over the war movements in this country and the White House is only the filling or pasting station for announcement of orders. The Fifth. Avenue play hoy in the White House is only putty today, in the hands of' the Morgan banking interests, the very interests Roosevelt has branded, in. the past, for public con­ sumption only, as detrimental to the American way of life. ' Congress is spending days hearing arguments for and against the lease-Iehd bill*, all of which is for show only. It is known tha t enough .Democrat votes have been bluffed or com­ pelled to support the measure under threats of loss of pat­ ronage to make the bill a law. The public should keep in mind •it is a so-called Democratic administration that is delivering the vote for looting the American treasury for England’s bene­ fit; The Ohio- Republican—delegation cannot—be—bluffed—or bought and has stood against the treasury raid and by this does not hold back on one .cent of expenditure for our own defense. It was last week the financial pages carried the story of more than one hundred million of stocks and bonds in American banks, railroads, chain stores, manufacturing plants, owned by England were sold in New York -to Wall street investors. England is unloading American investments to keep the govern­ ment from “freezing” investments on war claims, if such.'ever was attempted. By converting these investments now {into cash, England will soon be able:to show, the Roosevelt adminis­ tration th a t she is “broke” and unable to pay for war materials. Roosevelt is permitting the sale of these English investments- daily. He had it within his power to “freeze” English capital here as he has done for Germany, France and a score of other European nations. Roosevelt's sincereness in the war program, will be shown by his future action of “giving England every­ thing” a t the expense^ of American citizens, or compelling a show-down and demand payment for war supplies such as Canada has done. . ■ j \ ' Ninety-five percent of the vote in congress for the lease- lend bill is from the "Democratic south and about two per cent • from votes tha t can be controlled irrespective of party by Wall Street, interests. The South for the first time has the opportu­ nity of making the U. S. pay for aid England offered during the Civil War. The shock tha t former Republicans such as Stimson, Knox, Wiant and others, would be a party to this war hysteria is beyond understanding. The role that Wendell Wilikie is playing is thought to be political. First, he headed off the wild claim that Communist Harry Hopkins might make after his trip at the throne of King George. Second, Wilikie took the ball from Roosevelt’s hands, and tha t Wall Street could get “first hand information”, a Morgan banker had ac­ companied Wilikie, and a Senate Committee that was “bought arid paid for” weeks ago, went through the act of giving both sides a hearing. Canada sits back and gives the laugh to the American people as to how financial interests are directing the war from this side., We have taken one paragraph from, the Churchill Sunday broadcast that should be posted in every American home. It is an expression of gratitude on .the part of England as spoken by the Prime Minister, for what we did for that country, in the first World War and for which we have not to this day been paid in gold or even thanks. This statement is an insult to the American people and to the hundreds of thousands of boys that sleep “over there,” or have suffered from their efforts on their return after giving of their service to “save Democracy”. It should be kept in mind that Churchill is the Norman ThOJnhs, Socialist, in England. I We quote Mr. Churchill as follows: ' "America’s entrance into the l a s t^ o r ld War was disastrous, not only for your country, but for the Allies as well. Because, had • you stayed a t home and minded your own business, we would have made peace with the Central Powers in 1917, and then there would 'hale been no collapse in, Russia followed by Communism; no break­ down in Italy,'followed by Fascism; the Nazis would not be entron- ed in Germany. If America had stayed out of the war and minded her own business none of these isms would today bo sweeping the continent ox Europe and breaking down parliraentary government”. . Xenia lost one of b o l d e s t struc­ tures when the Detroit Street depot along the Pennsylvania Lines - was leveled to make way fop a modern business store, reported a grocery op­ erated by a Cincinnati company that baa been opening stores all over this part of the state. We doubt if there is a citizen in the county that can re- ‘call the erection of this depot,'the site being donated by the Gowdy’s but for depot purposes only. The railroad company had no use for the depot and with the building in a worthless state found it unprofitable to pay taxes on something that could not be used for any other purpose or even sold. One of Xenia’s most successful bus­ inessmen in the retail trade remarked to the writer several years ago that eventually the retail business in that city would be done by outside in­ terests. Being an extensive owner of business property yre asked what of the future of property as an invest­ ment under such circumstances? His reply was: “These companies will and can pay a higher rent than the inde­ pendent merchant”. To protect the in­ vestment get as high rent as possible and the original purchase,price will be returned in this manner, after that you cannot lose.” Continuing he said: “You can look for a battle royal be­ tween the big companies, which may or may not be a good thing for any town for the little fellows will fall by the wayside while that fight is on.” With three great grocery companies competing for the < business of one small city everyone is watching what will be the outcome. We are told the same company reported to open the Xenia store has a store in Springfield that holds the state record for sales in any one week or a single day. It is reported some months ago this com­ pany sold groceries to the amount of $15,000 in one week with a high single day of $5,500. Another factor with this company is that^it holds another record of having moremen customers- than women, a record which i f ' true has upset common belief that women do most of the shopping. With a reneweal of mild winter with snow last week we have gone so far in this section without a temperature drop to zero. We have never known of a winter when snow has stayed on the ground as long with the tempera­ ture around 32 as during late January and the first-week-in-February—All reports indicate the wheat crop has come through the winter in fine con­ dition, yet March frequently is a month when the' real damage takes place. ' One of the Washington events of the week in the New Deal and Demo­ cratic scrap over King George’s war is the charge of Sen, .Wheeler, who opposes the lease-lend bill, that the army department has let a contract for several thousand coffins. The customary use of such an article is for burial purposes for bodies of hu­ man beings. In as milch as the army only deals with soldiers, the New Deal is evidently taking time by the fore­ lock, Sec. Stimson of the army denies the Wheeler charge. He admits cer­ tain contracts 'with undertakers have been made but says nothing, as to what the undertaker will use to bury the body. S t i m s o n ’ s clever eva­ sion of the Wheeler charge is not con­ vincing to the public. Both Sen. Taft and Sen. Wheeler have made "the charge that only four bombing planes were delivered to the government in one month and there has never been a denial from any quarter. Some of these days the public will awake to find out that Stimson, Knox, Wiant and a lot of other Republicans that could not get promotion at the polls are nothing but window dressing for the greatest crop of political liars that every were connected with any gov­ ernment, not even excepting Hitler’s outfit, t ”V ... ............ . ....... ..... - .- long ago one of the Rockefeller boy# joined hi# draftee oemrad# in camp and is taking hi# medicine without a whimper. With the New Dealer# try-, ing to put Ford out of business be­ cause he will not let the labor unions run his ’plant# and two grandsons not wishing to be branded’in the future, as slackers, take their places in the ranks, white we find two Roosevelt boys, by dad’s orders, have been placed in bomb-proof job# a t high salaries. Congress should place the following sign over the entrance to the White House grounds: “Home of Two Slack­ ers by Order of the President pf the United States’’. Mayor Floyd Green, R., Columbus, is having his trouble with the Minis­ terial Union in that city. Previous to the primary, Green appeared before the body to explain his position on gambling as well as other immoral practices. Green had charged his op­ ponent as being supported by the gambling interests. The ministers en­ dorsed the Green platform and he was nominated and elected, Green evident­ ly tore a sheet out of the Democratic New Deal platform of “All things to All Men," this being a Roosevelt trait of playing both 'ends against 'the mid­ dle and when in close quarters shouts “Stop Thief” to distract attentio^. Now the ministers are after Mayor Green on the charge that- the city is wide open not only fo r gambling but all sorts of places where immoral acts operate without molestation. The Mayor says the increase is due to the thousands of soldier boys that are sta­ tioned at Fort Hayes. The ministers say girls and women are not safe on the streets after nightfall. The Co­ lumbus Chief Executive might just as well go back to his original promise to the ministers. No Republican offi­ cial can get by without criticism try­ ing to operate on a Democratic plat-' form. Educator Frank D. Slutz,. Dayton, noted lecturer and after-dinner speak­ er writes interestingly to the Chicago Tribune on the lease-lend bill under the title ‘(1776' A. D, vs. H. R. 1776”. The letter follows: In 1776 A. D. the divine right of kings was denied: in H. R. 1776 the 'divine right of the national “executive' is recognized, encouraged, and restor­ ed. In 1776 A, D. taxation without representation was denounced; in H. R. 1776 the renunciation of the peo­ ple’s financial power and of their fi­ nancial responsibility is accepted. In 1776 A. D. the freedom of the people ;o make the major decisions affecting cheir welfare was demanded; in H. R. 1776, abject and servile civic slavery is planned and advised; in 1776 A. D. government was. honored as~a noble tool for the service of the people; in H. R. 1776 government, is made a dictator unrestricted. Totalitarian and dictatorship are wrong, false and deceptive ways of do­ ing, because no one man knows enough to determine and to order what is wise and right; the combined judg­ ment of the citizens is more capable of discovering what is right and wise, if there must be outright war jt should be undertaken only when the majority of the people order it, At this moment 85 per cent of the Ameri­ can people are positively opposed to our entering this war and do not be­ lieve it necessary that we should enter il. Must we se t up, even temporarily, a totalitarian state in order to elim­ inate totalitarianism from the world, or do we believe that democracy in its own right and by its own methods is stronger than any dictatorship? In the name of 1776 A. D. we ought to, add we must demand that H. R. 1776 be not amended by sugar coated camouflage,—but killed!------ — Where was Cong.-at-large Young, Dcm>, Cleveland, whch the congres­ sional roll was called Saturday on the lease-lend bill? It was not so long ago that Young issued a press state­ ment that he was for Roosevelt, right or wrong, because the people voted for him with such instructions.. It was Young’s^nswer to his critics over his position onthe Roosevelt-King George givc-your-shirt-bill. Every Ohio con- gresman voted one way or another on the bill but Young's name was not in the .list nqr jvas he credited with be­ ing “paireH’f'With an opponent, It is worthy of note that the majority of the Ohio vote was against the bill, Only nine Democrats voted for the measure, Twelve Republicans and two Democrats voted against the bill be­ cause it leads the way for the Now Deal to plunge directly in the war, Ninety-nine per cent of the support of the bill in either business or political circles was due to the desire to' share in the great war profits. It has been. found also that ninety-five per cent of the support of the-, bill was frolm sources that would have no boys In the army. Henry Ford's two grandsons, one married, the othelr.single, are enrolled in tho draft and will take their train- Whjlc Wendell L. Wilikie was on his return from England where he in­ spected war damage and conditions in company with a Wall Strcot banker and a newspaper publisher, Charles A. Halleck, Rep., Indiana, announced that he would vigorously oppose the lease- lend hill and did. vote against it. The fact Wilikie favored the bill with some limitations was in contrast with the opposition of Hallack, the congress­ man that nominated Wilikie a t the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia. Wilikie stole the whole show in London leaving Harry Hop­ kins, who had prCceeded Wilikie as Roosevelt's personal representative, in the “black-out”. Many have speculat­ ed as to why Wilikie took it upon him­ self to go to London. In business circles it is said he was urged to make the trip as few had any confidence in What Communist Hopkips would re­ port to Roosevelt, New Dealers on the inner Washington circle arc said to express their feeling that Roose­ velt feared Wilikie and for this rea­ son gave him passports with a letter of introduction, all of which was slighting Hopkins, who had always been a Roosevelt supporter. Wisconsin ministers have taken up the charge and'Bee. Stimson is now the target but will not become interested. No sympathetic ear can bo expected a t the White House.

Banks, insurance companies, and other public and quasi-public institutions of the United States, hold the great pro­ portion of government bonds already issued.
