"THE TRUTH VULL/^U-p^\ NET YOU FREE"
BEW ARE SELF SEEKING GROH’S
HIDING BEHIND CLAIMS OF PATRIOTISM’!
The Associated Farmers of California have an­
nounced plans to organize 50.0(H) farmers into an anti­
fifth column vigilante group and promise that “within
three days in every rural county of California farmers,
quiet men doing their bit, will be at work."
On the face of it, that sounds like a timely and pat­
riotic move but, if the Associated Farmers of Cali­
fornia are a behind-the-scenes group with mysterious
financial backing as in Oregon and Washington, then
the harried and exploited migrant worker of the golden
Htate can get set for further imjxisitions and persecu­
tions. Red-baiters, super-patriots and political pres-
surites de luxe, the misnamed “farm groups" have left
odor wherever they have acted.
With the fifth column scare being what it is, such
group activity as that proposed by the Associated
Farmers will bear close watching by state and federal
authorities lest they use the fifth column scare as a
screen to cover strike-breaking, sweatshop working
abuses and other wholly un-American dollar-grabbing
activities.
The day may not be far away when the worker who
refuses to be cajoled or underpaid arbitrarily will be
branded as a “fifth columnist” and driven out of the
community. Some employers may be waiting for war
hysteria to reach the point where they can use mob
psychology to their own profit—at the sacrifice of
American liberties.

YES, IT’S EASY TO CONDEMN SURRENDER
WHEN YOU’VE FLED TO SAFE GROUND!
Although King Leopold of the Belgians has been
scored by many, including his fleeing cabinet members,
time probably will reveal the stout young king used
wisdom and mercy for his people and soldiers in capit­
ulating to the German blitzkrieg.
With his army and countrymen faced with almost
certain annihilation, and with promised help from the
allies inadequate, who can blame Leopold for his de­
cision to save what countrymen he could from the
slaughter? As for the condemnation of his cabinet,
which fled at the start of war to seek refuge in Paris,
that criticism is understandable when one remembers
that cabinet members first saved their own necks—
and the Belgian treasury, with which it absconded—
and then, dependent on safekeeping and hospitality of
the French, proceeded to make “good guys” of them­
selves by throwing mud at their sovereign. Not only
was Leopold’s cabinet selfish enough to run at sound
of the first bomb, but also they further ignobled them­
selves by turning on their ruler—when they reached
a safe distance.
King Ix)opold of the Belgians is deserving of ad­
miration and respect of the world and he should be
given the advantage of any doubts as to his reasons
for surrender.

to serve It all In one lump?

going to ask
“ *1 do not work Tuesdays or Fri­

ball game, but I would be willing to
go to jail Fridays. It rains on a

“ ’Well.’ the judge will say. ‘un­
der this new law I guess Fridays in

you be able to fix it so you could
report at the jail Thursday nights?’
" ’Not very well.’ the prisoner will
reply. ‘My work is rather tiring
and I would rather go to jail early
Friday morning, say around ten
o'clock.'
" 'Couldn't you make it eight

MEMORY
1 remember once, so long ago.
A sweet springtime in the rain
When a boy took me out riding
Whom I never met again.
We drove into the country.
Where the fields with grass were
green.
And saw a weathered apple tree
The first one we’d ever seen
It's boughs were bridal robed in
white.
There in the rain it stood.
The boy stopped near and wondered
If a few stolen blossoms would
Destroy its grace and beauty—
If it still would be the same
1 can smell the rain-washed petals
But I cannot recall his name!
