A Shooting War PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S speech was translated into 16 different languages for purposes of world broadcast. This was merely a by-product. His real objective'was revealed in his salutation, "My Fellow Ameri-cans." He was talking directly to the people of the United States and only to the people of the United States, often in the idiomatic language which they alone can understand. Others might listen.

The enemies of Hitlerism might find their morale strengthened by his flaming words and the Axis people might suffer a shattering of theirs. But it seems obvious that Mr, Roosevelt's appeal was directed as intensely and de" liberately at the hearts and minds of the American people as though it were a speech on the eve of an election. His address was his justification of his now thoroughly established foreign policy and also one of his brilliant campaign exhortations. He sought to arouse the people to an understanding of the dangers with which he feels this Nation is confronted.

Roosevelt. No other President has ever received such endorsement. And all the polls of public opinion show that he still retains their faith, despite strongly articulated criticism of his foreign policy and the expressed opposition of the people to actual participation in war. In that faith Mr. Roosevelt was asking the people to see the picture as he sees it.

"We are face to face," he said, "not with abstract theories but with cruel, relentless facts." This course has been obvious ever since the overwhelming passage of the Lend-Lease Bill, by both parties in both branches of the Congress. The Free Press has not deceived itself in this regard nor has it attempted to deceive its readers. The die was cast when that bill was passed and we, said so as bluntly and as frankly as possible. All that has happened since has been inevitable, as inexorable as the denouement of a Greek tragedy. WHETHER the President has exceeded his powers is mere academic argument with no agreement ever to be reached even among authorities on constitutional law.

In his address he pointed out that he has historical precedent. Most certainly the Lend-Lease Bill gave him even further tionists' current efforts to smear the movies with a wholesale charge of "propaganda." So much misinformation, half- truth, and prejudice has come from the Wheeler-Nye-Lindbergh faction i Merry-Go-Round Make Love to Work in their self styled crusade" against so-called war propaganda, that it will take a deal of forthright editorializing to nullify their their time to writing letters to editors. They make it their life work. I have not asked any psychiatrist, but I think an interesting paper could be prepared on the subject. Just why do these people find happiness in bawling out editors? Is it indicative of an inferiority complex, or a disease, or what? It is not an honest, frank, spontaneous letter to the editor the kind he likes to get jumping all over him.

No, it is a studied piece of venom. Such a writer feels that he is ordained by God to keep the newspapers straight. He gratifies this preponderance of ego by writing on every subject under the sun. Very often he sends out dozens of letters a day to newspapers all over the country. It is really a most interesting obsession.

That is the substance of the preliminary report issued Thursday by a Senate committee. The committee finds that "unnecessary alarm" was caused by "over-enthusiasm on the part of those charged with the direction of the petroleum situation." That means on the part of Oil Co-ordinator Harold Ickes.

The Senate committee's exposure of this hoax should be a warning to other agencies in Washington concerned with our defense effort. The people resent being tricked. out in a month or six weeks." This is not a fact. England could Washington when he came along. By Drew Pearson 'and Robert S.

Allen WASHINGTON, Sept. 12 One year ago today this column revealed the strange activity of Senator Ernest Lundeen of Minnesota prior to the still unexplained airplane crash which killed him. Particularly it was revealed how his speeches had been written by George Sylvester Viereck, a registered agent of Nazi Germany. 1 Following publication of that story the United States Senate appropriated $5,000 to investigate the allegations of these columnists. So far that investigation has not taken place.

However, our own investigation of how German agents have used members of Congress has continued and has revealed further startling developments. These are not so important regarding Senator Lundeen as they are regarding the fact that the Nazis have been able to use a highly-placed member of Congress and appear to be using other members of Congress even today. For if the public loses confidence in one of the few remaining legislative systems in the world, then we may be in for what happened after the German people lost confidence in the Reichstag. We have already revealed who wrote Senator Lundeen's speeches. Most important additional development was how his speeches were used after delivery on the floor of the Senate.

Work will with every gain bestow Such favors idlers never know. A reader of your editorial Is given the impression that Amer that a group in this city was trying to sell Ickes on the idea of having the federal government finance subways in our town.

I could not see the logic of burdening Detroit with such costs and had said as much. ica is supplying all or nearly all tne rood, as a matter or fact, Canada, Australia and Argentina furnish most of it Some six weeks ago, it was announced that So when I shook hands with Ickes, I remarked, just to make conversation: "I'm glad you are opposed to that subway system in Uneasy Japan Detroit. He cast a baleful look of hate at me and screamed so that he could be heard across the Potomac. 'I won't stand for it!" he shrieked, "Don't try to argue with me! Is everybody in Detroit crazy? I Just get it into your head that you are NOT going to get any subways." Everyday Religion By Joseph Fort Newton I trying to agree with you," A NEW General Defense Headquarters has been created in Japan under direct command of the Emperor "to complete arrangements for the defense of national territories in view of the growing tension in East Asia." Just what that signifies in terms of Japanese-American relations is not yet clear. The fact that influential Japanese newspapers are now speaking of "the European Axis" and explaining that Japan entered, it under circumstances very different from those presently existing may have a much more important bearing on the situation in the Pacific.

That Japanese civilians are sick of the whole Axis business seems clear. I said, "I'm not arguing for them." "It won do you any good, or anybody else any good. I'm too Dr. Arthur Holt tells some things he learned during his service on the faculty of Hobo College, Chicago. It is located on W.

Madison and authority as Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy. It would not be surprising if this address of Thursday night will be a prelude to a message to Congress calling for the repeal of the Neutrality Act. If we are to maintain what Mr. Roosevelt holds to be this Nation's historic policy, the freedom of the seas, this would be a logical development. One is inconsistent with the other.

President Roosevelt said he has notified the Navy to shoot on sight any German or Italian submarine or warship entering the United States defense zone and does not clearly define that zone. "No act of violence or intimidation," he said, "will keep us from maintaining intact two bulwarks of defense: first, our line of supply of material to the enemies of Hitler; second, the freedom of our shipping on the high seas. No matter what it takes, or what it costs, we will keep open the line of legitimate commerce in these defensive waters." This was his ultimatum after recording the sinking or attacking of five American vessels two of them warships. On this basis he holds that these are not isolated cases of attack but the clear outline of a world pattern on the part of the Nazis, a general plan of campaign. TIE BLUNTLY said that the American A fleet would not be invincible if Britain goes under and pointed to-the efforts of the Nazis in recent months to seize power in South America.

"It is the Nazi design," he said, "to abolish freedom of the seas, acquire absolute control themselves, then dominate the Western Hemisphere. We cannot live in a Nazi dominated world." If this is not in substance a declaration of a state of war existing, whether actually the district is called Hobohemia. Britain had received only worth of products under the Lease-Lend Act during a period of three months. This, of course, included food. This is a fair indication of the scale on which help has been sent.

J. W. McCONNELL. Windsor, Ont. Lord Haw Haw Happy To the Editor: Your editorial, "On Borrowed Time," makes one wonder what is considered loyalty in the office of the Free Press.

Regarding the Greer incident you say: "The question of who fired first, answered by the Administration's flat assertion that the submarine was the aggressor, aetthe Nazi press on a hunt for new ways to scream You then go on to say: "The difficulty, if not Impossibility, of determining this matter is obvious to persons who know anything about modern naval warfare." In other words, in spite of the fact that an American naval ofTicer and his men reported that the German U-boat fired first, you state flatly, without the slightest provocation, that their integrity is no more to be relied on than the screaming Nazi press. Anything you can do to cause uneasiness and raise doubts in the minds of the people about our leaders seems to be your program. Undoubtedly, your editorial will be quoted with great satisfaction by damned busy to be bothered listening to such arguments. I tell you, you can't have any subway system in Detroit Utterly impractical, utterly" "Yeah!" I hollered back, 'That's what I say! That's what I'm try- Actually, he thinks he learned more from his Hobo students than they learned from him. For one thing, the Hobo is very snobbish, and does not Ling to tell you.

They integral part of the Nazi propaganda network in the United States. After being printed in the Congressional Record, they were reprinted and sent out under the Senator's frank to lists of Nazi sympathizers all over the country. Bundles of 500 to 1,000 were made up, unaddressed, sent to German-American organizations in Chicago and New York.

These organizations wrote the addresses on the franked envelopes and mailed them free. Lord Lothian vs. Lord Lothian ONE of the speeches written for Lundeen by Viereck was called "Lord Lothian vs. Lord Lothian." This was printed in the Congressional Record of June 19, 1940. But three months later this same speech showed up in book form, this time written under the name of James Burr Hamilton.

The name of the book is identical with the title of the Senator's speech "Lord Lothian vs. Lord Lothian." And the contents of the book are almost identical. The speech, however, was that of a United States Senator and the book was signed by James Burr Hamilton. Key to this mysterious identity is to be found In the registry of the State Department. The book "Lord Lothian vs.

Lord Lothian" was published by Flanders Hall. State Department records show Flftnders Hall to be subsidized by George Sylvester Viereck. Furthermore James Burr Hamilton is the pen name of George Sylvester Viereck. Thus we have an agent of Germany ghost-writing a speech for a United States Senator, getting copies of it sent free through the mails, then turning round and having it issued in book form by a publishing company registered as a German agent. Furthermore the Flanders Hall publishing company has been active with other Congressmen, namely Rep.

Day, of Illinois, and ex-Senator Holt, of West Virginia, who agreed to write but has not yet written two books for them.

At last the easy chairs were broken up and burned, and replaced by very plain, backless benches, on which only a sober and wide-awake man could sit If a man fell asleep, he automatically fell off.

As Secretary of the Interior, Br'er Ickes was made gasoline czar. The first thing he did was order all the gas stations on the eastern seaboard closed between the hours of 7 p. m. and 7 a.

But. the records show that the ployment agency is the "Slave Market," the square 'Heard in China' TTILLIAM GREEN, AFL president, made a determined declaration this week to the annual convention of the Amalgamated Association of Street, Electric Railway and Motorcoach Employees of America at Atlantic City. He told of the" AFL's post-war plans.

"We will make a demand that labor shall sit in the peace conference. This demand shall be so loud that it will be heard even in China." There couldn't be a more American statement. It's exactly in our national tradition. It ignores the big important job at hand and deals with large generalities. Right now there's a vacant peace con where the soap-box orators hold forth is the "Bug- ttouse and the sleeping place is the "Flop-House." "Panhandling" we know surely we ought to know it; but if one goes to the back door, he is "mooching." A railroad worker is a "rust eater," a sailor is a bcacncombcr' and so it goes.

Hobo philosophy is split into two schools. One holds that the hobo is the architect of his own fate, the other that society is to blame for his plight. The second theory is the most popular. Today until recently, at least the victims of the Dust Bowl tragedy included not only men, but women and children, made hobos against their will; wandering folk seeking work and finding little.

MORNEWECK. Who Knows What? To the Editor: Ray Goodman says, "there are some chaps in Washington who know what it Is all about," but admits that he docs not. In that respect he is in the same boat with me and about a hundred and thirty million other saps who are, to quote Harry Hopkins, "just too dumb to understand." I presume that Harry, just back from Russia, is one of these chaps who know what it is all about. When these super minds get everything fixed up to their satisfaction they will probably tell us dumb bunnies the time has come for us to send our boys across to make Communism safe for Joe Stalin. THEODORE BENGEL.

To the Editor: The question in America today Is whether the people are the masters and their government representatives their servants, or whether the Government is the master and the people the servants. Before we can have unity in America, this question must be settled. Mr. Roosevelt repeatedly stated that he hated war. Now he says that he hates peace and, since he won't think of having anything to do with peace, where are the 85 per cent that want peace coming in? Is Roosevelt the master or the servant G.

A. EDITOR'S NOTE: At no time has President Roosevelt ever said that he hates peace. a bit. You cannot down a man who grows dahlias, collects stamps and writes letters to editors that easily. Harold is locked in his study tearing pages out of the thesaurus In finding new names declared or not, then the English language has lost all meaning.

He said that Nazi Germany planned: "A permanent world system based on force, terror and murder as an "enemy of all law, all liberty, all morality, all religion. We must face the cold inexorable necessity of saying to these inhuman, unrestrained seekers of world conquest and permanent world domination by the sword: 'You seek to throw our children and our children's children into your form of terrorism and slavery. You have now attacked our own safety. You shall go no When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike you do not wait until it has struck before you crush it." With this statement as his justification the President then lays down his final policy. "The time has come," he said, "FOR ACTIVE DEFENSE for prevention of attack." "Active defense" means just one thing in the American language, when coupled with "prevention of attack." It is the old fighting axiom that a good offense is the best defense.

As the Free Press has said before, we now repeat more emphatically: The United States is at war. to call the Senate committee. Enter the 'Natural Woman9 SPEAKING with the authority of a man who has learned about women by making them beautiful, a Hollywood beauty "expert" tells the American Cosmeticians Association, assembled in Chicago convention, that national defense is dooming the American female to rely on the charms Providence gave her. The exigencies of the emergency will mean an end to "fruitless frills, arched eyebrows, pasty-white complexions." Over-all, "tomorrow's beauty will be smart, not cute." She'll be smartly tailored; her eyebrows will be plain, natural-line. That cry of joy you hear is thoroughly male.

Husbands hereafter will know what their wives really look like. Never more will swains be under the handicap of not being sure whether they're pitching woo at their sweeties or at assorted clays and powders from the cosmeticians' pot. Oh, happy day! INTERCEPTED LETTERS pohtik am Nil by Paul Schmltz-kairo. Both books were published by the German Information Bureau, a Nazi propaganda agency. Flanders Hall also publishes "Inhumanity UnlimitedIndia," supposedly translated by a French woman, Jeanne d'Arc Dillon La Touche, but actually a book by Reinhard Frank castigating the British and distributed by the German Information Bureau.

And on the back of many of these books is an open letter addressed "Dear Fellow American," which among other things says: "Ours is a patriotic task for which we freely ask the support of all those who believe with us in AMERICA FIRST AND AMERICA ONLY." Nothing is said in this patriotic appeal about where the money comes from to publish these books, or who wrote the original versions. Yet several Congressmen, either too careless of the distinction they hold of being duly elected representatives of the people, or else deliberately co-operating with Nazi agents, have lont their endorsement to this publishing house. "A maniac is guided by emotion instead of judgment." Psychiatrist. Hello, brother maniac. A "peace offensive" now is natural.

Any gambler would like to quit early if he has most of the chips. 1 If a speaker disunites the people and hinders defense, isn't it reasonable to believe that is his purpose? If you say "no" one time, and the peddr departs, you have a dominating personality or a poison look. If we can fool ourselves by changing the clock, why doesn't somebody give us a thermometer we can set back? The chief fault in these radio forums is that participants watch their grammar so anxiously they neglect their ideas. Even yet there are people so righteous they wouldn't tolerate liquor or horse-racing if it didn't carry so much of the tax load.
