Thus Hitler came to power—to be
"Europe's guardian."
lefutl to embargo American war
aid to Japan.
On March 12, 1938, Adolf Hitler
delivered an ultimatum to Chancel-
lor Schuschnlgg of Austria. Afraid
of his own people, the distracted
Schuschnlgg called Paris and Lon-
don on the telephone. All night the
phones rang In the musty private
offices of the Quay D'Orsay and
No. 10 Downing Street, but Schu-
schnlgg's call went unanswered. By
morning Hitler's planes were over
Vienna.
Chamberlain, and his partner
Lord Halifax, nodded their heads In
smug satisfaction. Tile almost ter-
rifying power that Britain Is build-
ing up," said Chamberlain brightly,
"lias a sobering effect on the opin-
ion of the world."
Six months later came what
seemed then to be the last word In
betrayal: Munich. On September
28. 1838, Chamberlain, finishing a
speech to a tense House of Com-
mons, told his listeners that catas-
trophe was at hand. Then a mes-
senger arrived, handed Chamber-
lain a slip of paper. The scrawny
merchant of Birmingham read It,
and then announced:
"I have something further to tell
the House. I have now been In-
formed by Herr Hitler that he In-
vites me to meet him in Munich
tomorrow morning. He has also In-
vited Slgnor Mussolini and M. Da-
ladier. Slgnor Mussolini has accept-
ed and I have no doubt that M.
Daladier will also accept. The House
will not need to ask what my an-
swer will be."
The Munich conference was held
on September 29, 1938. "To this
conference which was to decide the
fate of Czechoslovakia," says G. E.
R. Gedye, correspondent for the
New York Times, "Czechoslovakia
was not admitted. While the four
Premiers drew up their final maps,
cut up Czechoslovakia's territory,
destroyed her fortifications, seized
her industries, retired her unde
feated army, M. Mastny and the
other Czech delegates were allowed
to sit cutside in the hall. . . ."
In his official report, Sir Hu
bert Masarik wrote: "At 1:30 A. M.
we were taken into the hall where
the conference had been held. There
were present Mr. Neville Chamber
lain, M. Daladier, Sir Horace Wil-
son, M. Leger, Mr. Ashton Gwatkin.
Dr. Mastny and myself. The atmos-
phere was oppressive; sentence was
abcut to be passed. . . . Mr. Cham-
berlain was yawning continuously."
The atmosphere was indeed be-
coming dangerous. Less than a year
later their "atmosphere" blew up
by oar own how (town hypocrites.
Hitler hu never won a battle a-
galnst Democracy because Demo-
cracy has not yet been given a
chance to fight.
Facts are something hard to face.
The fact Is, however, that Hitler
can be beaten—but only in one way.
And that way Is not the way I
have Just finished describing. We
cannot follow the road from Man-
churia to Munich and from Dun-
kirk to Greece, any longer.
The hypocrites and the betrayers
must go. It is about time Demo-
cracy began to strike a blow on its
own behalf.
President Roosevelt says he wants
to beat Hitler. No man alive Is In
a better position to do it than the
President of the United States. The
people of Europe are listening to
him; the people of Britain depend
on him. O. K., Mr. President. It's
about time we got started. It's a-
bout time we did a little looking
at the map ourselves.
Look at it. There are 219,000,000
people over there under Hitler's
rule waiting for a word from you.

In 1936, the second World War

and Fascist guns and troops Dicta-
I lor Franco marched on Madrid to
| make his "practical contribution" to

I its of the Democracies got busy.
And there are 63,500,000 more under
Churchill. And 200,000,000 Russians.
(Not on the map are 130.000,000
Americans, 400,000,000 Chinese, and
400,000,000 Indians,) What are you
going to say to these millions, Mr.
president? Why not say—
"My friends, there Is only one
way to beat Hitler. And that's with
Democracy. In order to prove to
you that I really mean to beat Hit-
ler, I have requested Lord Halifax
to leave for England Immediately,
bearing an urgent request to Prime
Minister Churchill that he com-
municate to me at once, and in de-
tail, the alms for which Britain is
fighting this war.
"I have also asked Mr. Churchill,
as proof that we are fighting for
and with Democracy, to at once:
1)—grant independence to India.
2)—turn over Northern Ireland
to Eire
3)—dismiss all Appeascrs and Im-
perialists from the Cabinet.
41—end war profiteering
"As for us, we offer immediately
the hospitality of the United States
to any man or woman who has
previously fought Hitler in the
Spanish civil war. I am stopping
all aid to Japan. Moreover, in order
to encourage Americans to see that
Democracy is really worth fighting,
for, I am proposing new legislation
extending Social Security and tile
Wagner Act to cover all wage-ear-
ners in the United States.
"I have also been looking at the
map. I can only draw one conclu-
of these sion from it. In order to beat Hitler
America must ally herself with Rus-
sia, because Russia is the only re-
maining major power which borders
on Nazi-occupied territory.
"To the German people let me
say especially: America has always
regarded you as a great people op-
pressed by a tyrant. To them I
say: Amerca wants peace, not war;
security, not victory."
The President could say that, if
he really wanted to. And he could
make it stick. Millions In Europe,

changes the map. He doesn't have
to. His army of lusty young "guar-
dians" of Europe has spread its
tentacles out until now it has driven
England off of her last foothold on
the continent of Europe.
Yes, Hitler Is looking at his maps,
and he's probably pretty damned
-atlsfied. But he has no right to be
then. And. tell me, when did the
need cease?
It is just this fact that starts men
to becoming Christians. But so
long as it is not apparent to a soul
that the need is so great that he
cannot get along without Christ,
just so long will that soul fall for
the delusion that he can succeed
without Christ.
It is the sense of need that stands
at the door of real prayer. Self-
satisfied people dream that they
can succeed on their own. So long
as that false idea prevails in a
church or a family or an individual,
so long the marvels of answered
prayer from God cannot be known.
"Ask and it shall be given you"
must mean that there is need of
something to be given.
Man may imagine to present to
God a thousand plans and deeds,
and suppose that all that shbuld
meet a response of approval, but
really he Is presenting an offense
until he awakens to say,
"I need Thee, O I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee."

sections of the country to the ex-
tent that he would be justified in
taking drastic action. No one can
dispute the fact that drastic action
taken by the President must be suf-
ficiently supported by local public
sentiment to make it successful, 01
our country will face a much graver
danger than we are facing now from
the International desperadoes a-
broad. I am one among those who
cannot understand why sentiment
would not support action at once,
and vigorous action, to stop every
strike in a defense industry. How-
ever a careful survey of the situa-
tion has disclosed that the Admin-
istration must move cautiously and
not make the mistake that was
made in France, which caused the
breakdown, entire breakdown, of
France's preparedness program, that
finally resulted in her downfall.
Chairman Ilatton W. Stunners of
the Judiciary Committee oi the
House many months ago inquired
of the Attorney General of the
United States, who lias charge of
the legal division of our Govern-
ment, if new laws were needed to
deal with the strike situation. At-
torney General Jackson replied that
110 new law was needed, that the
President had sufficient power uii-
der existing laws to deal with the
strikes.
The Honorable Lindley Beckworth
who represents the Third District
of Texas, several months ago made
inquiry of Secretary of Labor, Mrs
Perkins, if she had sufficient power
to deal with the strike situation.
Mrs. Perkins replied by enclosing
the letter of the General Counsel
of the Department of Labor, in
which the General Counsel stated
that the President of the United
States had sufficient power to deal
with strikes, and therefore no new
laws were needed.
Notwithstanding the assurance
from the two great Departments of
our Government. Labor and Justice,
that no new laws are needed to
deal with and effectively stop strikes
In defense industries, Members ol
Congress are daily becoming more
disappointed in the failure of the
Administration to properly stop these
strikes, which are slowing down out-
preparedness program.
Chairman Stunners takes the posi-
tion that if the Executive Depart-
ment will not enforce existing laws,
which are admittedly sufficient to
stop these strikes, that the Execu-
tive Department would not enforce
any new laws that were passed.
The fact remains that Congress
is impatient and almost disgusted;
the people are likewise disgusted
with strikes In defense industries
and something must bo done in the
very near future, and I predict that
it will be done.
Profitable Farming
For the first time In many years,
farming Is being placed more upon
a profitable basis than at any time
in recent years. Although our Com-
mittee on Banking and Currency
did not endorse the Amendment of-
fered to guarantee each farm family
a minimum annual income of $1,000
if sufficient commodities were pro-
duced at reasonable prices to earn
that amount, the Committee did at-
tach a rider to the Commodity Cre-
dit Corporation Bill which will re-
quire the expenditure of all money

Packaged Electric Power
Instead cf using high-lines In
in a way that will give at least a'tliinly populated farm sections, the
possibility of using "packaged pow-
er" is being explored. By "packaged
power" Is meant Individual farm
light and power plants, driven by-
wind, water, gas or any other prac-
tical and economic force. These
plants would be financed and op-
erated through Cooperatives the
same as high-lines and over a ten-
year period, the guaranteed life or
the battery. Tile cost is no mare
and in many cases less than that
of the high-line product. #
