NUMBER 31
This and That
Here are concrete proofs that President Roosevelt
intends to force dictatorship on us if he is reelected.
Senator Josh Lee of Oklahoma introduced one bill
last Monday to give the President power to conscript
our money "whenever the president determines an emergency exists which makes it necessary to draft manpower," he shall MAKE A DETERMINATION WITH
RESPECT TO THE ABILITY OF EACH CITIZEN
AND EACH RESIDENT ALIEN TO LEND MONEY
TO THE UNITED STATES." And, "it shall be the
duty of each such citizen and resident alien to purchase
such bonds (payable at the option of the United States,
nontransferrable, bearing- interest at a rate not in excess of 1 per cent and not tax exempt) as the president
may determine that such citizen or alien should purchase/' Should anyone fail to buy these bonds in the
amount the president has decided that you shall buy,
the bill provides for a fine of $10,000 or five years imprisonment or both.
Another bill directed against corporations, equally
stringent provides that "the President shall set up a
plan for drafting the use of money according to each
individual £ n1>ilit\- tr> >ot-<A.
Tt sound's as if'Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini were the
authors of these bills or perhaps Mr. Roosevelt has borrowed a copy from each of them.

New Drup Store
Under Construction
Foundation is being laid for a
new store building at 2830 Colorado Blvd. Rumors have it that
Mr. F. Smith, formerly of the
Big 4 Drug Co. will occupy the
store when completed.
That crater under the Treasury wasn't made by an enemy
bomb.
At best, the presidency of the
United States is one of the}
world's toughest jobs. When a
man takes the oath of office
from the Chief Justice and goes
to live in the White House, he
accepts duties and responsibilities which will be with him every waking minute of his time.
The next president will take
on an even tougher job than the
great majority of his predecessors have faced. He will take
office in a time of world crisis
and national emergency. And as
soon as he sits down at his desk
he will have to grapple With
problems whose solution is known
to no one. He will have to be
prepared to deal with changes
and trends which menace all
that the United States has created since the Revolution, and
which threaten the very foundation of our system of government.
The next president's most immediate problem will be that of
national defense. It is apparent
that we will be ah> to produce
little that is tanen ?*e. so far; a=
It takes time for a great nation
to switch from a peace economy
to a war economy. The groundwork for a workable program is
being laid now, but difficult bottle-necks exist. And we start the |
defense program under the definite handicap of a $45,000,000,-
000 national debt largely built
up during the last eight years.
There is a possibility that the
debt will reach and perhaps pass
the $70,000,000,000 mark before
we are done.
Even so, the defense problem,
vital as it is, is perhaps the simplest of the next president's jobs
—few questions that we will find
some way to produce and pay for
the guns and airplanes and battleships we must have. Before
him will be other problems, far-
reaching and immensely difficult,
which must eventually be solved.
And here are a few of them!
There is the problem of trade.
Today Hitler dominates the continent—tomorrow he may domin.
ate all Europe. And Hitler does
not deal in money, which means
dealing in gold. He deals, instead, in barter. His economy
goes back to the most primitive

The Big I Am
President Roosevelt's message
of July 10 was 1,800 words long
and contained the first person
singular twenty-seven times.
This count excludes all "me's"
and "my's" and is restricted to
the most strikingly vertical letter in the alphabet. Analysts of
Presidential messages, of whom
Poet McLeish must have a dozen in the Library of Congress,
should set out to discover whether in any other Presidential message the number of "I's" has
been more than 1% per cent of
the total wordage. Maybe this
is a record.—New York Sun.
Iowa Picnic
The 99 counties of Iowa will be
represented at the annual picnic
of Iowans in Colorado to be held
Saturday, August 3 at 4 p. m. at
Lakeside Park. Hal Van Gilder,
chairman of the committee has
gle Corps, Sons of the American
Legion, to whoop up the enthusiasm of the Hawkeyes. The corn
growers will listen also to Mrs.
Fred Wright discuss the P.T.O.
of Iowa. The old Iowa songs will
make the heart beat faster when
led by Miss Julia Gurse, dramatic soprano. Hot black coffee will
be dispensed free under the finesse of Paul Coldren.

You know, this idea of doing
something about getting prepared for war is O.K. But the
idea of just doing something,
and having only a hazy idea a-
bout how it is gonna turn out, is
a horse of a different color.
And you take these battleships
costing around 90 million each,
which we think we gotta have,
they will maybe not be what we
want, 3 or 4 years from now,
when they are finished. We need
something now as much as 4
years hence.
For 90 million we could build
25 or 30 welter-weight boats. And
25 or 30 such spitfires circling
one battleship, would make
things pretty lively for the big
boat. The 25 milion dollar Graf
Spee of the Germans, she didn't
last long against 3 small Britishers, down there off South America.
We been rushing around, voting money hap-hazard, and halfway beside ourself. The only

mount, the quicker the vote.
Maybe this old, common-sense
Hoosier boy, Willkie, will kinda
get 'em quieted down and back
on terra firma, there in Old Potomac Town.

"Peculiar to the Nazis is a bu-_
reau of the Gestapo which contains the finest setup for the falsification of documents that has
ever existed. Handwriting wizards and ace chemists are able to
produce, reproduce, or falsify almost any document that Hitler
wants to spread before the world.
For example, a letter is stolen
from an enemy of the regime, the
authenticity of which he cannot
deny. An entire paragraph in
the letter is made to vanish; then
an expert forger writes a fresh
paragraph including statements
necessary to prove the original
author's guilt. The man is presented with the letter, which he

of it he is startled to read lines | and cooperation in his new shop
not there before.
"No doubt exists that letters
from Ambassadors Bullitt and
Kennedy,, supposedly taken from
the Polish archives after the fall
of Warsaw, were thus 'improved.'
These Gestapo operators could
produce a letter in President
Roosevelt's handwriting which
even he would believe to be authentic. The bureau has collected specimen handwriting of every
important person in Europe, Asia
and the Americas; also perfect
imitations of office blanks and
letterheads used in the embassies, consular and government offices of practically all nations.
There is little that these experts
cannot imitate, from state documents to well-nigh perfect coinage of foreign money."—Wythe
