Now Roosevelt Is a Jew!
To the Editor:
I wish to correct some Inaccurate
statements made concerning me In
tne tKtooer 27 issue of your pubilci
tlon.
At the Eagle Point Townscnd meet
ing 01 this week, the president, Mr.
Perry, came to me in the rear of the
nan and asued me If I cared to ad
dress the meeting. I assented and
I he then requested that I refrain from
d, speaKing on my own candidacy.
I considered this a strange request,
but when he later announced me as
a speaker, I compiled with his wish
by keeping to the broader Issues of
the campaign. I stated that the pres
ent aamimstratlon waa supported by
communistic forces and that is even
country where communism came into
power. It was directed and financed
by Jews. At no time did I call Presi
dent Roosevelt a communist or oy
any other name as I make it an iron
clad policy to stick to issues .deeds
and words and avoid personal attacka
I stated that recently the Carnegie
Institute of Washington, D. O.. had
completed a factual document dia
closlng the lineage of the Roosevelt
fimftir tt,h1h I ...,,,,
that the Roosevelt family Inherit
generously from Hebrew racial strains.
At this point tn my address, one
or two pro-Roosevelt members of
Medford Townsend clubs who were
at the meettng. Interrupted my ad
dress. The president sustained their
Interruption and asked ma to dis
continue my discourse.
Out of consideration of Hie club
president and the circumstances
-Vhlch surrounded him, I did not In
sist upon my technical right as a
member of the Townsend National
Legion to finish my address.
After the meeting, lift-, Perry ex
pressed his appreciation toward my
attitude in the matter.

1 wy. is it awo an insult to the par
ents of these youths. Three hours a
week in fostering the Military idea
What might be accomplished is de
moting those three hours to the prob
lem of human relationship. Peace
ha never been fostered by snUilsrtsm
from David's time "after the year was
expired, at the time when king go
rorth to battle." Asoka is the only
military monarch who abandoned
militarism after victory. "More Hy
ing men cherish his memory than
erer heard of Canstantine or Charle
magne." The Quaker's hat waa a better safe
guard, In Colonial times, than a gun.
Militarists argue we cannot support
non-militarism when the world Ib war
mad. This la an ideal time to show
the folly of more armaments to in
sure peace. Our geographical position
and strength fits us ideally to set an
example to the rest of the world.
Ours was the first government of the
people. We were the first to divorce
church and state. Why not be t&e
first to abolish militarism and "make
the world safe for democracy?" Why
are we trying to force military train
ing onto our youth in the tmme of
patriotism and peace? As Smedley
Butler aaid "If you are not training
them for war, what are you training
them for "tap dancers'?"
We are weary of hearing of our tax
supported institutions! Our ancestors
have been paying taxes in this coun
try for nearly two hundred years, and
when we think something is being
fostered that is detrimental to youth
and all civilization, we know It Is our
right, and our duty, to protest. Mili
tarism haa been the folly and curse
of the world for thousands of years.
If civilization is to survive we have
to Improve on our father's w&ys.
"Youth can honor his mother by
learning more than she Knew. He
can honor his father by correcting
the old man's mistakes."

A Platform for 1S.0
To the Editor:
Here is my 1940 platform:
4 Planks.
1. A 50-cent minimum wae
common labor. Full employment ot
labor in public works until absorbed
in prfvat industry. Stabilization of
rate of wages and rate of profit. In
crease of wage Income by increase of
hours of work per week. A court to
arbitrate labor disputes.
a. 25 per week old age pension and
pensions for unemployable
3. Refinancing outstanding debts,
both public and private, at per
cent rate of Interest by the federal
government through a central hank.
4. Exemptjon of shelter value in
homes from state, county and school
taxes. Deficit to be made up by loans
from the central bank. New homo
construction financed by central bank
at 14 per cent rat of interest.
Machinery Provided.
1. Organization of a supreme
monetary court of nine members in
the same manner the supreme court
of the United State Is organised.
Monetary court to have control of the
central bank. This bank to control
the Issuance of currency to the end
that purchasing power will be built
goods and services. (Ftvct finding com-;
goods nd service. Fslt finding com
mittees estimate this capacity to pro
duce to be 2 billion dollars per week.
That la purchasing power would have
to be built up so that each of the 32
million family units In the United
States would have an average of S0
per week to spend.) Thia spending
power would be built up by the Issu
ance of currency in making effective
te four planks of this platform.
Mablllration.
When, through the Issuance of cur
rency by th central hank, purchasing
power is built up to match capacity
to produce, the budget would, be bal
anced
1 By abandonment of all but nec
essary public works.
3. By levying a tax on surplus
earnings to balance old age pensions.
3. By the collection of payments on
the principal of sums loaned by the
government, Collections on the prin
cipal not to exceed 6 per cent In asy
one year.
4. By levying a tax on all incomes
to the extent necessaTy to complete
the stabilization of spending power at
2 billion a, week. From these taxes
revenue would be derived to tak
care of shelter tar exemptions.
Recommendation.
To those who believe in an economy
of abundance as opposed to an econ
omy of scarcity I recommend that
you vote for the candidate for presi
dent you believe most likely to pro
mote the proposals outlined is this
platform.

Ouch, Roses Hare Thorns!
To the Editor:
Allow me to commend you on your
able and skillful pen. I agree with
Lytton that it "Is more powerful that
the sword," Since the day you left to
cover the "conventions," your edito
rials and editorial correspondence
have carried a preponderance of con
viction. You have, converted me. I
feel that you will be justly proud to
know that this coming election, No
vember 3, I will cast my ballot tor
the union party's candidate, Wllllam
Lemke. Thanking you again for
service well rendered, I remain

Have Faith In Roosevelt.
To the Editor:
Did you over follow an experienced
woodsman through the forest for
miles, especially at night while search
Ing for someone who was lost or go
ing to a forest fire?
Those who have, or those who have
led men on such occasions have heard
forebodings among the men. Some
slipped and fell on rocks, tripped os
creeping vines, were scratched by
thorns; all were tired and lame. Some
of the men threatened to quit and
go back, or go some other wsy . be
eause they were so sure the leader
was lost or didn't know where he
was doing. Those men lacked wood
experience, but enougn of them had
faith that they would be taken safely
through, ao encouraged the rest U
stay and follow on. The way was
made successfully.
President Roosevelt la an "experi
enced woodsman He has & ob
jective ahead. He la leading us
through an economic and social for
est of Despair. Wo have crossed some
of the worst boggy sinkholes, but our
way is still bewt with many dangers.
There bto patches of jagged rocks
across which we must yet travel,
where our feet may be sore unto
bleeding, but wo cannot avoid every
discomfort. Wo know that he is go
ing in the right direction, but some
want to co this way. some that any-
other way than fohuw an "experienced
woodsman."
But no one has pointed to a bet
ter way nf one haa ever biased a
trail through this untrod forest. We
know that our leader has led us thus
far safely out of those dark night
and that we can now see the rising
sun ahead. Many did not like part
of the places through which we have
gone. Yet, as we look back we can
jee many of the narrow escapes we
had bluffs of failing banks over
which we came so near falling to
destruction; bottomless crevasses of
wrecked public schools we almost
slipped Into; quagmires of lost homes

Watch West Virginia. Most ot the
indices have pointed to a Roosevelt
victory there on the assumption thai
John L. Lewis, the United Mine Work
ers chief, could certainly deliver that
state, if co other. He may, but a
fairly trustworthy auxvey reeerrtty In
dicated Land on would carry the state
by a very smalt margin. Safe wager
em will place tt as doubtful.
While most politicians classify
Ohio as the most doubtful state, an
Impartial survey there Indicated the
incredible possibility of a 300.000 ma
jority for Landan. The trouble with,
the survey was that It probably rep
resented too small a percentage of
the city vote.
It is not often that opposing politi
cians can get exactly what they want
to prove out of the same set of fig
ures, but this Is what Is being done
with the Uterary Digest poll.
fresh republican money appeared In
the unofficial betting mart here whets
one statistician proved Governor
linden's election with a majority of
287 electorial votes by merely adding
30 per cent to Roosevelt's state totals
shown by the Dlegat. That Is, he
accepted the fact that the Digest
has received returns from more
1932 republicans than democrat and
gave Roosevelt nearly a third more
than the Digest did, but left Latidon
stm winning by one electoral vote.
Democrats, with equal conviction,
figure that the Digest shows Roose
velt winning if you apply his indi
cated net low, and Landons net gain,
over the Hoover vote, to the figures
polled by Roosevelt and Hoover Xw
each state. This shows Roosevelt
winning with 335 electoral votes.
Some tnrth -seeking congressmen
wtttita both parties are complaining
of the Inadequacy of the campaign
expenditures law. They are threat-
enmg to propose a new law at the
nest session of congress. After the
election their indignation probably
win subside. Campaign indignation
usually does. t
However, the experience with the
law during tills campaign hom It la
mostly loop-holes. No one yet has
been able to furnish an accurate esti
mate of how or how much money was
raised or spent. Published account
are Inadequate.
For example, the democratic na
tional committee seems to have de
veloped merely Into a holding com
pany for campaign purposes. The
committee swaps expenses and con
tributions back and forth with such
subsidiaries having interlocking di
rector a tcM as labor's non-partisan
league, the all -party agricultural
league for Roosevelt, the good neigh
bor league, the committee of one and
many others. Other Roosevelt or
ganisations raise money separately,
sweh as the national progressive
league, the American labor party and
a few others.
The republican national committee
helps and Is helped by such organiza
tion ai tho coalition of American
women, the volunteers, the national
clvte federation and many others.
The financing of these various or
ganizations ia often as mixed as that
of the average public utility holding
oompa,ny and Ita subsidiaries, about
which some Now Dealers complain so
much.
The only purpose served by the law
Ut to accumulate an intricate mass of
records in which the truth lurks;
somewhere unrepealed.
and farms stretching from coast to
coast through which we are beginning
to emerge; poisoned winds ot discos
tent which nearly swept us off our
feet; surging times of idle men ebb

bread line, and too often to where
there waa neither, which nearly en
gulfed us; hot and cold desert of
starving people all about us which
we Just avoided; and often almost
over the very brink Into molten lava
flows of revolution. Vet, President
Roosevelt led us, with tout tew thorns
to pluck from our now healthy hides,
out of that dark forest. Let us still
have faith and follow him, for he Is
