Investigating Dies
As the president said in reporting on his tour
of the nation, the people of America are united,
i From the youthful private engaged in a battle
of wits with enemy snipers on Guadalcanal to
the retired merchant who can serve only by
buying war bonds' and .avoiding unnecessary
driving', all citizens practically speaking are
In agreement as to the necessity of victory and.
In varying degree depending upontheir indl
. vidua! characters, willing to cooperate; and sac
rifice in order that victory may be achieved. .
There are of course a few crackpots who
think the war is just a foul plot on the part of
actual axis sympathizers: and almost the nor
mal peacetime number of chiselers and buck
passers. War, as Kipling said, doesn't really
transform blackguards Into a "thin red line of
heroes." But there is more unity more agree
ment on first principles, less dissension, than

in world War I, when there were a good many
German sympathizers. This time, their number
is insignificant. :
i For the most part, the ideological arguments
which engaged us in the depression years are
' buried, perhaps for the duration though they
are not dead. Some politicians are trying to

ence. Conservatives have temporarily forgiven
President Roosevelt and he has forgiven them;
and the communists are cooperating in the war
effort because Russia is our ally.
Now comes The Nation, national liberal mag
azine, with an entire issue devoted to an "ex
pose" of Congressman Martin Dies and his com
mittee investigating "un-American" move
ments. Advance notices suggested" that. Freda
Kirchwey and her aides were about to blast
Dies right out of congress and perhaps across
the Atlantic into Germany. , . '
Well, they have made a pretty fair case for
what they did seek to prove: that Martin Dies is
lowlife. his associates on the committee sharn
schemers or deluded dummies, J. B. Matthews
who is the brains of the program a poisonously
vindictive ex-communist or fellow-traveler;
that the committee never has uncovered any
thing congress and better-informed citizens
didn't already know, that it has been surpris
ingly gentle with the silver shirts and other
American fascists, that many of its witnesses
L.... it. A 11 . 1 . mm, a

bargain, and that the committee's "sensa
tional disclosures' have been ludicrous.
All these things may be true; there never has
been a time when this column was disposed
to, waste a single breath defending the Dies
committee.. It has been our attitude that their,
rank and file of American communists were a
muddled. lot. and most of their leaders smart.,
chiselers rather than the crackpots they mayf
have seemedand so what? What could we do
about them? Not much, so far as we could see,

wu iiw, except to puncture tneir ideological
balloons, watch them, and arrest them if they
broke any laws. -
So we're not disposed to argue with The Na
tion on that point. Still, it's our verdict that its
"expose" is largely a dud. And the reason it is
dud aside from the paucity of concrete facts
and the obvious bias of each of , its writers
is that this is what they set out to proye about
the Dies committee:
" Its purpose its specific political purpose ,
is to discredit and if possible destroy the New
' Deal and the progressive elements in the na
tional Administration, especially the" President
of the United States.
If that's all they intend to prove, our reac
tion is a, yawn. For though the accusation in
cludes the language "and if possible destroy,
uiai means actually no more than "discredit.
And to our mind, the new deal was discredited
i years ago. It's all right with us if Dies does
further discredit it, though we can't see that .
he has made any progress That, we think, is
the real, valid criticism to be made of the Dies '
committee: it doesn't aernmnlUh
cept to spend the taxpayers' money and keep
Martin Dies' name in print. , .
As the president said, we are united. Ideolo-
gies are mostly buried for the duration, and

Actually there's nothing invidious about it
Henry Kaiser and the British shipbuilders are
figuratively "in the same boat" and as a matter
of fact, they're building the same boats, the)
Liberty freighter being an English design. But
the British have been the world's greatest boat
builders for many centuries and they're just a
bit red-faced about Kaiser's records. Twice re
cently, at any rate, British Information Service
has been at some pains to tell their side of the
' story. And really there is something to be said
on their side. For one thing, manpower is to
date much scarcer and more precious in Eng
land than here; they don't have the big ship
yard crews Kaiser has. They point out that per
man-day, they get more accomplished. For
another thing, they don't work at night, be
cause shipyards lit up for night operation would
provide an easy target for the enemy. And
in the third place, despite these handicaps they
have turned out Liberty ships in 30 days, which
isn't bad. But we have a notion Kaiser taught
them things about mass production, which help
ed them to do thatwelL
Whoever named it "the axis" played right
into. the hands of the punsters. For no matter
how the war is going otherwise, it is clear that

WASHINGTON, Oct 13 Hot-and-cold-blowing
patriots have been buying government bonds in
public, then sneaking to the postoffices and banks
to redeem them for cash.
The number of these Chameleon heroes Is grow
ing, not much,' but too much.
The last treasury figures show
$25,000,000, of war bonds were
redeemed in July, $32,000,000
in August, and $34,000,000 in
September, for a total of $91,
000,000 redeemed of all bonds
sold since May.
How many stamp chiselers
have tiptoes in for redemption,
nobody knows. The amount In
volved in dollars cannot be
large, yet it seems almost in
' credible that any American, at
a time like this, would ' cash
in either his bond or his stamp.

-in victory.. v'j :- ? ' .
v Not much is said publicly about these people.
From the purely financial standpoint, the treasury
is -not alarmed,' inasmuch as the September re
demptions amounted to only .027 per cent of the
bonds, sold that month.
But everyone knows it costs the treasury money
to sell bonds (administration, . advertising, etc.,)
and every bond or stamp redeemed must be sold
over again at added expense. -There
are few more effective ways you can
aid the enemies of this country than by bravely
pretending to buy what you do not propose to
hold and defend. .
The government is not fooling now in its promise
to provide tires for all, to keep this motorized na
tion going on wheels. The promise of Mr. Jeffers
can and will be fulfilled. ,
The government already has practically doubled
the recapped tire quotas for public disposition this
.month of October, from 425,000 to 925,000.
As tires wear out, B, Cand S card-holders will
go before an inspector every 60 days. (A card hold
ers every four months) and from them may secure
certifications with which to appeal to the ration
ing boards for reclaimed rubber, tires. No one
here suggests the program will not work. -

column, ever asked. ,

to develop 20,000,000 victory tires from reclaimed

Some editors and readers have written me asking
about the lack of comment in this column on the
censorship dispute of the press with the White
House, and requesting my personal views.
It seems to be the discussion went astray some
how. The debated questions have been whether the
president's life was really endangered, whether
news of the trip should have been kept from the
people so long, and such technical matters.
The president should have the right of war
time censorship, if he thinks his safety is involved,
whether or not anyone else believes it was. But
he should take the responsibility of this cen
sorship entirely from the press.
The way the White House handled the affair
may leave suspicions In the minds of some people
that they are not getting all the news they are
entitled to, through their press. In any similar fu
ture censorship, the government should go far
enough in handling the matter to prevent any such
suspicion from arising.
So also with the president's criticism of "certain
publishers, columnists and radio commentators"
for breaking down public morale. His blanket
castigation. tends to tear down public confidence
in general
He has had specified those whom he believed
guilty, and what they have said or done to pro
voke his charge, they would have been exposed
and tried before the f bar of public opinion. A
blanket cloud would then not remain over all.

What Is communism? 10-14-42
Russia is in the family
of nations, presumably to .'
remain throughout the ages:
(Continuing from yesterday.)
' Quoting the McGroarty article's
concluding words: "It would
aeem .to be an extremely diffi
; cult thing to convince a man
used to possession of property
that it is his duty to surrender
that possession to the state in
order that it' might become the
common property of all. Even
though -he owns no more than
,;the pipe he smokes, he wants it
for himself. And, though he be as
poor as a church mouse he Is
not likely to want to hand 'over
his children to the state. It may
have been possible to stuff those
doctrines down the throats , of
Russians, but we do not believe'
it will ever be possible to make
Americans swallow them.
Tor a man to keep what is
his is a furtdamefttal as old as
man himself. And to force him
to hand over his offspring to
commissars is .a job likely to
prove tough .for anyone who at
tempts it in this country..
V
"After we had listened to an
advocate of Communism on the
radio, our memory recalled a
man we knew in the days of our
boyhood, away back yonder
among the old- blue hills of .
Perm's Woods.
"He was a man poor enough
in this world's goods: About all
he had that he could call his
own was an old shack on a
craggy piece of ground by the
side of a road. People better off
. used to make sport of the hum
ble rooftree. And at last their
Jibes came to irk the man.
.. '?V:e "
"One day In hot and very
natural resentment, he scrawled
a legend with charcoal on an
old slab, which he placed above
his door where an who ran
toisht read. The legend said:
"It ain't much, but it's
aain.tn -?
1.
; "The people who went by nev
er. laughed after that It was as
though the shack had been
changed into a castle.
"Prowling among old dusty
tomes one oufet nisjht when the
were deet above our hills
and the world was asleep. we
came again noon the story of
Prter John, who was the talk
of Europe some seven centuries
ago. The story had become vague
in our own mind with the pass
ing of years. We 'were glad to
have found it again by this hap
py chance.
Trester John was a king
whose realm was somewhere in
Africa, the story said. He was
indeed a king over many kings.
His empire was vast, 'extending
over the three Indies, including
Further India and back again
down the slope to the ruins of
Babylon -and the Tower of Ba
beL He was waited on by seven
kings at a time, by 60 dukes and
865 counts. Twelve archbishops
sat on his right hand and 20
'bishops on his left
"Such was his court in his
main palace, but he had another
palace in which the Prester's
man who did the sewing was a
primate and a king, his butler.an
archbishop and king, his cham
berlain a bishop, his master of.
the horse an archimandrite and
king, his chief cook an abbot and '
king. ( . '
.
"Yes, wonderful as was all
that it was as nothing compared
to the statement that in the em
pire there were no poor, no thief
or robber, no flatterer or miser,
no dissensions, no lies and no
vices.' The dominion wallowed
in gold and silver. And there was
a river flowinsj through it with
ucacne or. precious stones in
stead of sands.' '
"There is much more to the
story to the, end of which we
came at last only ! to find that
the empire was wholly mythical
and Prester John himself a mere
Phantom. It was a cruel disillu
sionment Jhat fen upon us, and
we went off to bed on no good
terms with the ancient joke
smiths who had made us victim
of their sorry hoax.
"Of all the wise sayings cred
ited to Diogenes the wisest was
what he said to the pirates who
caDtured him and lugged him
off to be sold into slavery.
" 'Sell me to some man' who
needs a master,' said Diogenes
to his ' captors.-'; :
"That mieht have

Today's Garden
. By LILLXE L. MADSEN ?
- Mrs. xi. K. asks for Informa
. tion on how to care for tuberous .
begonias for the winter. She
writes that she still has many
' beautiful flowers on her begon
ias which she hates to disturb."
Answer: Don't disturb them as
. long as they bloom well. After r
the first light frost when the
flowers and foliage have been
killed, lift the-tubers,, break off
the entire stem and foliage, i
about three Inches . above the
soil. , Leave all the soil which
will adhere to the roots, and
place in a cool, dry room, allow
ing them to remain there until '
the soil is perfectly dry. The
fleshy roots f the tubers should; j
also have dried . by this time
Usually this takes about two V1
- months. - i ir-. 7 "s '....-
t After the soil and dead roots '
have been 'removed, clean $he
tubers and place them in dry "
peat or "sand until they show,
signs of life In spring. "1 :3 f
. We are" being advised to fumi-' :
gate i the .? tubers : now, ' using a " "
common washboiler. Place the '
tubers In the boiler, put small :
boards over the top to hold the1
tubers In and turn the boilers "
upsided own on a dry floor, slip- V
ping four tablespoons of cynao
gas under the boiler. Pack suf- !
fident soil -around the "boileJ to :
make it airtight ; so . that i the
gas will not escape. Leave the
tubers under fumigation for 24 '
hours. Fumigation Is best done
out of doors on a quiet sunny
day.
