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.

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

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

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!

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. .
