Centinuation of Government as a Republic on democratic prin civles. All are welcome to copy any article in this paper, if they give credit to Women's Voice, Chicago. Many of these woren who came did so because they had.a vision of the greatness of our country and of the attacks made against it. They came together, and the work which they will go out and accomplish will be done by them in their home towns. Women comfort themselves that war is the will of God. Now we know differently. We are the first generation of women who dare to say it out loud. We prepared the feast. We in- vited the guests. We gave the so called women leaders their chance, -but with one consent “thep began to make excuse.” Those came who could partake. They were the most intelligent, most courageous, most sincere women ever congregated, Those whose courage overrode their slight misgivings, were hearten- ed and strengthened. Now they're gone back to their homes, apostles ef Truth to their neighbor. They bear in their hearts the great theme of the convention—we are from the North, East, South and West, yet above all, we are Americans. “God will not permit His work to . 4 af 2 Bi 2. ed MH de Made Manlecsl by COUWUrUSs. WE LOST BUT FIGHT For a long time we have been sing-songing: “The International Bankers have controlled the National Convention for 70 years"-—-but it took the G.O.P. of 1944 to demon- strate it to us. The people thought they had a chance but they found out better. They wanted the American, Mr. Bricker, but a few experts, skilled in generations of exploitation of the people, corralled the delegates; the people's Voice carried no weight, Only at the last, the Bank Con- trallers of Dewey became -a little alarmed at our insistence for we WOMEN'S VOICE fought on, even after we knew we had no chance, and they conceded to ua Mr. Bricker as vice-presi- dent, 4 Now the fight before us is very plain—not only to put these men in, but Congressmen as well, with back- bone ,who will hold Mr. Dewey to his oath to support our Constitution, Congressmen who will uphold their own oath by a return to Constitu- tional money. Without this, a change of label meana nothing. Mr Bricker, backed by public opinion, and an American Congress can reduce the bloated presidency to its original Constitutional size. RED RACKET The seething caulron of administra- tion spleen has finally boiled over, —in an effusion entitled “The Mother Racket,” in the July issue of the Woman's Home Companion. The use of the term, “racket,” is significant To theae administration Bolsheviks everything good is s racket that should be ‘liquidated, along with those responsible for it,—the home, the family, morality, marital fidelity and religion—all to be replaced by one huge racket from which they can take a cut,—The Red Racket of totalitarianism. The purported author of the ar- ticle, Patricia Lochridge, “protests too much” when she says that this “wag no undercover job.” The article follows closely the style of “Under- cover,” in which Rex Stout and Leon Birkhead bolster up their master- piece of mis-information with smear clippings from the files of the Office of Mis-Information. Apparently, Miss Lochridge’s sole contributions are “descriptions” of personal appearance and “weaknesses” of mothers’ or- ganization leaders. Her chief distinc- tion while interviewing the writer seemad to consist in an entire lack of familiarity with ber job, as she pored over her type-written list of questions, and sucked her pencil, like any fourth-grader on ‘xamination day. Investigations of the leaders of our organizations have apparently not only revealed the “straight, black hair” of one of them, but also the extremely straight records of all of them, which have prevented a shake- down in the good old Commie style. . Failing in this, the writers ‘were com- pelled to use a method of the hated Mr. Goebbels: “Smear, smear, smear! Something will stick.” What their hmited mental capscity | June 29, 1944 at prevents them from realizing is the*- — fact that thousands of mothers all over the country willy resent thié unjustified smear of women, whom this very article acknowledges are mothers of men in the armed forces, To all of our friends and members, we say: Don't obey that impulse to write a protest to the Woman's Companion,—there is no decency in - any magazine which will print such an article. Ome of its purposes is to find out how much strength we have and where it is. The writers admit that they were wrong in sup- posing that they “would find only a few members and these lukewarm, misguided women who have no real influence in their communities.” Lf your anger gets too high,—“Don’t write,—telephone!” In the meantime, be tranquil. The heads of the organizations which have been libeled by this article, have already adopted a plan of action, which will be announced scon, In the meantime, don’t give out any siatements to press or anyone else, of whose identity and purpose you are not sure. Keep away from these Wood Pussies of Journalism, who live on smear, Starve them ont,—it won't take long! L. E. Benge, ae ps esentatives Los Angeles, Calif. Mrs. Van Hyning: Enclosed find some clippings Mrs. K. asked me to send (too busy). We enjoy your little paper. Keep up the splendid work, We are doing our very best here. Fighting for our country on the Home Front which is being com- pletely lost, unless some way is found te win it back, as Washington - did through the path of Valley Forge, and my great gran-pere General Sterk did at Rennington, Vermont: then this land that has shown the way to the greatest vision of ail the ages, will fade into history to- gether ‘with the vanished grandeur of Egypt, of Greece, of Persia, and all the rest of those civilizations that rose in the past and then carelessly permitted a° atrange alien race of traders to enter, to undermine and to finally destroy them utterly — only to move on to other prosperous people and repeat the story in an unending patern of ruin and wreck- age. Yours for our country—Long may it atand. . Geo. C. Tyler. “Land tax; the sheet-anchor of finence?” . rw *
