Taft 5tA°T©R TAYT has accused Secretaries Knox and. Stimson of supporting a unform federal ballot for :service personnel because they tare "running" for another term. Senator Taft seems to be of the impression that if we dlid have this uniform ballot for service personnel, then the present admininstra- jon would be assured of reelection We find in the remark made bySenator Taft the ,first traces of-the mud-slinging which pre- cedes every political campaign. .The attack made by Senator Taft might be construed as an indirect attack on the Presi- dent, whom Taft would say is urging the uni- form federal ballot in order to win the votes of tie ;servicemen. if the servicemien, who, are fighting this war, approve of the way it is beig andled, that is a Very ood argument for keepig the present ad- ministration in power.

The scae is not comnplicated: $100 for those who ,serve less than 60 days of service, $200 for those who serve more than .b0 days service in this country, and $300 for those who serve over- seas or in laska. Sen. Johnson estimates the plan will cost $i,000,60006600, which is much lower than the estin ted cost of either the House or the Sen te, proposals. It's a reasonable measure. We hope our law Makers will pass it quickly and hurry on to other d FAHNGS have been piling up since Christmas, things which demand investigation and ex- planation, here in this State of Michigan where the Ford -Motor Company is the bigges. empire and Henry fiord thec biggest indtsrialist. First, "lTrIder Cover," by .Jon Roy (aiSo, published fat Jurte, and now in its 800,00th copy, spends ten pages proving the fascist tendencies, connections, and actions of this Ford Empire No denial of these charges has been made, and no suit has been instituted to prove the statements false. So this six-months best seller continues to show that Ford and fascism are akin. Then "New Currentis" ihi it Deebr iss w ran an article byAlbert FE. Kahn of Detroit, son of the famned architect who designed Ford build- ings, includingkthe Bomber plant, Kahn calls to attorney Gen. fiddle's attention the fact that in ca~se after case Ford has hired German Nazis in his plant, printed anti-semitic literature, aided financially groups with known fascist prin ciples. Now John... Ltugas, for th , past five years bead of the .etroit branch of the Federal Bu rerlli of Invstigation, quits his ho, after con Suilng his boss, Jr. Edlgar Hoover IHis new joi-assistat to Harry l civiltt of the Per- sonnel Department of thle Ford Motor Con- pany. Needless to say, during the past five years, despite the many rumors and occasional out and out charges brought against the Ford Company, no investigation has been forth- comning. And finally, the Countess, Grace Buchanan- Dineen, said, under oath in the Federal Court in Detroit, that she was given the names of high officials in war plants, including the Ford Motor Company as "potential sources of espionage in- formation." Facts, you say,fBut what are the facts y These are the facts: BE'TWEEN 1920 and 1927 Ford published a weekly newspaper, "the Dearborn Independ- ent," edited by. William J Cameron (who later became "the voice of the Ford Sunday Evening Hour)." Hsere tile known forgeries, the "Proto- cols of Zion," were first published in America ..one of the most vicious attacks ever made on th1e Jewish people. When the paper was sus- pended, Cameron set up and became president ofthe Anglo-Saxon Federation of America, whose magazine "Destiny," continued to print the Pro- tocols. In the early 1920's Ford was named at at government trial in Bavaria as being one of the leading financial supporters o' the infant Nazi movemnt. When in 1923, Adolph hiter (then a small fry) learned _that Ford might run for resident, he said, accordin~g to a "Chicago Tribune" dis- patch: "I wish that I could send some of my shock troops to . . . big American cities to help in the elections . . . We look to Heinrich Ford as the leader of the growing Fascist movement in America . . . We have just had his anti-Jewish articles translated and published . . . and widely circulated _in Germany." On Monday, March 7, 1932, the Ford Service Department 'turned machine gun fire on 5,000 men, women and boys who marched on a hunger strilke to the gates of the Dearborn Ford plant. Four of the marchers were killed; 22 collapsed under the fire. W RING the 'thrties, many known German Nazi agents came to this country; the first person contacted, who usually gave them jobs: Henry Ford. The iren: -Fritz Kuhn, jailed in 1939 as head of Nazi-American Bund; Nazi agent Heinz Spanknoebel, who camne to ti, country to set up the Friends of New Germany (shortly after Hitler's rise to power) ; John T. Wiandt, tool and die maker at .Ford's, while not from Germany, is an influential member of the National Workers League, whose leaders are now under indictment for espionage, A friend of Ford, Rtumeley, was found guilty of being an agent of Imperial Germany in the last war. Peley, Joe -McWilliains, Laura Ingalls, Eliz- abeth Dilling and Co., all either under i- dictment for seditious activities, or dire to be, think Ford. is the..best man in Aierica. -Quoting from "Under Cover": "Mein Rampf refers favorab)ly to only one American-Henry Ford>,'The original programi of, the Nazi Party cited the finest and most universally known example of this kind of manufacturer'-henry Ford. The first American to be honored with .the Grand Cross of the fernman Eagle was Henry FOrd.(Auguskt, 1038.) (.It was.later given to Cir le, AA, Lindberil,4 employe of _Ford now.) For years a large picture hung beside Hitler's desk in theBrown House; --tLhat of Henry Ford. In his biograp~hy of Ht3itler, Konrad Heiden as- serted: 'That H.enry Ford gave money to the National-Socialists , directly or idirectly, has neVer been disputed.'

In the end, we always do it. We are now giving arms to Tito and his Yugoslav Partis- ans; but the very same quantum of arms~ given earlier in the game, could have made us general instead 'of limited partners in Tito's enterprise. The offer to ride in the driving seat is usuall a brief offer, but we nearly always manage t overlook it. Then we scramble belatedly forth tailboard of the bandwagon, where we ride with out much dignity, our toes dragging in the ds: WE'RE FOREVER CATCHING UP It is especially in handling the undergroun movements of Europe that we do not mak policy, but have to be nudged into policy, shoud ered into policy, shamed and scared into polic and finally we join with all the awful majest of one falling down a flight of stairs. When the underground tunes iri ont ou radio beams, it hears, all too often, that the great need in Europe is to maintain order and firm controls, while winning. We do no realize, in our massive official illiteracy--on the subject of popular movements, that this is an insult to the underground; that, and also an expression of distrust. The underground does not like to hear itse regarded as a :problem, line flood and malaria It does not enjoy discussions over what to b done with it, as if it were a case for a reform school. SOMETIMES A SMILE So we do not make policy for the Europea underground; we sit on our velveteen sette primly and let ourselves be wooed. Sometime we reward the underground with a dim smile because, after all, we do not want it to sto calling, and we are uncomfortably aware tha there are other girls around, especially towar theeast. And it is usually after the underground ha made an eastward gesture, toward Russia, tha we brighten up and allow as how it's a prett good old underground, after all, anid Ierha9p deserving of lemonade and cookies. WE MADE HIMT WAT TOO LONG It is a policy of drift; we don't do, we are donm to. When we finally give arms to the people o France, as we certainly shall, it will be becaus we could no longer avoid doing so, The Frenel people will have their arms, butt on such term as to feel that they won themr from us by fight - ing for them, and owe us nothing. It will hayf been an arm's length transaction, between strangers. The arming of France will then ic a. triute to the underground. It could have been a tribute to urs. The new =Fratnce could have been our idea as well as merely our ally, and we could have helped shape it, instead of lrere- ly making th~e best of it.
