BIGGEST JOKES OF THE WEEK
The Washington Merry-Go-Round says the
friends of Senator Burton K. Wheeler have
started beating: the drums for him as an anti
fourth term candidate for President.
The sense of humor in Montana is almost equal
to that in North Carolina where the electorate is
supposed to send Robert R. Reynolds back to the
Senate.
Not everyone knows it, but it is a fact that j
the bases of Wheeler's unreasonable and mali
cious hate for President Roosevelt is that the i
popular Roosevelt swamped the Montanan's am
bition to be President, himself. His defeated
ambition took refuge in a ceaseless and sense- j
! less hostility to the successful Roosevelt,
j Why this jack rabbit politician with his med
iocre ability and his sinister un-American
ism should presume so far upon the good sense
of the American people as to believe he could be
President of the greatest nation in the world, we
don't know, except on the hypot'i osis f i.is >u;-
pendous egotism which led him to inicxo oti;c>
minds were smaller' than his own.
By the way, as there is a yearning in the hearts
of many people for peace, some o i whom have
openly acknowledged tnat they had as lief liv •
under Hitler as Roosevelt, wouldn't it be fine t«j
'elect Wheeler President and Reynolds vice
1 president.
The election of this sweet-scented pair of ap
peasers and isolationists —Burt and Bob —would
send a wave a delight through the Axis regions
of Europe, and immediately no doubt Hitler's
suggestion for a negotiated peace would fall on
highly productive ground.
We could soon have a Hitler peace, with a pup
pet government at Washington—a la Norway,
France, Italy.
Of course in justice to the Montana-Carolina
''statesmen", it may be said that since Pearl Har
bor they have become very patriotic in the sense
that "when the devil got sick, the devil a saint
would be."
But how long would we have to wait (under
Hitler) before: "when the devil got well the dev
il a saint was he."
The record of the Senator from Montana is
quite well known, and now as the campaign for
the Senate gradually expands the people of
North Carolina will be duly apprised of the rec
ord of their western Senator.
Along this line we notice the following edi
torial in "The International Teamster," a labor
magazine published at Indianapolis, Indiana:
The editor was speaking about the congres
sional committee on foreign relations He said:
"Anyone would think that (such a proposition)
would receive the immediate and unanimous in
dorsement of the committee on foreign relations,
to which it was referred.
"But there is something queer about that com
mittee.
"It contains two men who permitted Nazi prop
aganda to be broadcast across the country FREE
BY THE USE OF THEIR SPECIAL SENATO
RIAL PRIVILEGES. Thus German propaganda
aimed at the destruction of America was circu
lated as semi-official documents bearing the
names of United States senators.
"Those two men are Senator Gerald P. Nye of
North Dakota and Senator Robert R. Reynolds
of North Carolina. Nye was one of the raucous
vocal chords of the America First Committee.
He madie an America First speech AFTER Pearl
