(It wouldn't be such a bad I'm going to either have to give up my morning paper or my breakfast.

And when each newspaper brings more stupid stories and cheaper evidences of low-down propaganda, it is very bad. And really quite unfair to first rate bacon and eggs.

Or ville Campbell wrote the follow-up story on the Student-Faculty day fes- the Young Democrats, Miss Barnes, was cordially received, but her declaration of pride in President Roosevelt's leadership of the Democratic party received a stony reception. "In contrast, the audience cheered when John Lewis of the housing commission of the con gress advised young people 'to talk regardless of which persons in high places tell us what we say is 'twaddle'.' Whether or not the American Youth congress wishes to con demn Russia or not is relatively unimportant. It all gets around to the old point: what the con gress thinks regarding foreign relations and diplomacy, in spite j of the reputed membership of 4,500,000, means little.

Ever since Stalin invaded Finland, America has been blithely skipping to ward war. We pointed out the danger some weeks ago. In an "open letter" to Herbert Hoover who has spoiled many of our breakfasts in his day. Breakfasts, I might say, without even one chicken in our pot. And at that time we mentioned the obvious fact that the Finnish invasion would be the I a won3erf u screen for anyone wanting to ride some political wave on top of a Red-hunt crusade. And we hinted that these stupid emotional bom basts have a neat habit of getting out of hand. It was even suggested at that time that too much outraged support of Finland would lead America into war.

American automobiles, farm machinery, industrial machinery, and other manufacturers have found new and profitable outlets in foreign markets due chiefly to reciprocal trade agreements. The U. S. has also ly propagandizing in misleading head lines that exaggerate and editorialize at the same time. I am not a commu nist. But it seems to me that even a good substantial American can read about the Russian army workings with in having them referred to as "Red Hordes" v and other such neutral epi thets. It is just too crude and too dan gerous. And when you consider that none of our papers seem to have any program but a "safe" bias for Finland, and remembering what happened the last time we found ourselves a little country to mother, you begin to smell some sort of a skunk. Up in Washington the president him self, whom we have loyally admired through most of his administration, is allowing ridiculous -things to go on Congressional frenzy to lend Finland money remains amazing and unexplain ed. The insult of the Russian Ambas sador is not exactly a peace gesture even in the fumbling manner of our untrained diplomats. An uncensored and gleeful circulation of the story in dicates the position that official Wash ington is taking. Mr. Roosevelt's ex cessive armament demands, his unna tural affection for England, and his general aggressivism are hard to rec oncile with his sincere domestic re forms. It is certainly obvious to all of us that his new activity in European affairs are at least unnecessary if peace be really our intention. The game, grown out of a well-worn political hat, goes on with increasing wildness. No one knows where we are going, as Mr. Norman Thomas said. But we are going there in a terrible hurry. Russia is an idea, however, obnoxious to us it may be, that does not threaten either our government or our ives.
