The Communist movement can not be combatted
by any community, municipality or state. It requires
the united action of the majority of the whole people
of the nation. It can be wiped out only by direct Fed
eral action. A person who betrays his government is
classed as a traitor and due and just punishment is
meted out. Why is not the person who works in behalf of
the red cause and for complete overthrow ol our system
of government exactly the same thing, and why cannot
he be handled in the same manner? The Communists
are direct actionists. We in this country can do well
[ to adopt the same method. Reports from throughout
■ the world clearly indicate the action can not be taken
| too soon.

Postponing Bonus Cash.
(New York World Telegram)
The Veterans Administration reports that approxi
mately 3.500.000 veterans are now alive, eligible for a
cut of the $2,000,000,000 added to the budget by the
bonus bill. It is predicted that some 2.700.000 of these
veterans will stampede to cash their bonus bonds “as
soon as they can find a post office."
Many thousands of veterans don't want a bonus;
never did believe in it; were disgusted at the vociferous
outcries of the organized bonusites and feel themselves
somewhat in a' quandry today as the baby bonds are
to be passed out. In the most patriotic sense they are
conscientious objectors.
