LIVE AND LET LIVE
For A Better Understanding Among All Of Us
A WARNING
By RUTH TAYLOR
For the past two months I have spent the greater part of my
time travelling—and listening. I’ve heard such incredible tommyrot
talked in club car after club car, that I’ve risen in rebellion at last!
It is time that some of the stuff and nonsense put forth by unwitting
Nazi agents be debunked, and brought out in the open, so here are
some of the stories I have heard.
“Labor is blackmailing industry for higher wages, and sabotaging
the war effort for its personal gain, caring nothing about our soldiers
being without weapons.” Who are these soldiers but the sons and
brothers of men who work? Where are our younger labor leaders
but on the firing line? What has been the official record of Labor
on production?
“Capital is storing away great profits from war contracts won at
the expense of the workers.” Our tax laws are no respecters of indus
try—and the Treasury agents, like the Royal Mounted Police, get
their lawbreakers. The sons of the rich fight shoulder to shoulder with
the sons of the poor in this war.
“The Irish are so busy fighting England, they won’t fight Ger
many.” Have you read the list of heroes recently? (I did hear one
complaint. An Irish friend of mine said they didn’t have a good choir
any more—for five hundred boys from his small parish had gone to
war.)
“The Jews are dodging army duty.” How the Selective Service
could effect this, they neglect to say—but the real answer to this lie
ran be read in any casualty list. (Remember when you read one that
only 4% of all Americans are Jews.)
“The Negroes are putting pressure on the government for social
equality.” What the Negroes want is the right to fight and die as
Americans for the country that is theirs, too.
‘“The (fill in any group that disagrees with you) won’t co-operate
in the war effort.” Disagreement is not disunity. You can’t force
a free people to think alike, but they are all ready to fight alike for
freedom.
“Our government is bureaucratic, its officials parasites.” Would
you rather have an autocratic government? As for the parasite charge,
if you have been in Washington recently, you won’t be able to imagine
anyone without a keen desire to serve living there on government pay?
These are only a few of the things I heard. You can add to the list.
Stop them dead with the truth when you hear them—and let them stop
with you. They are enemy sabotage on the home front—and we can
all fight there.
