Fake “Patriots” Are Nailed HENRY PETERS M. K. DEAN HENRY WIESE HENRY F. ROUSE, America First Association Member Shows Government Not Back of That Organization CCORDING to news re- #| vice president of the & | Northwestern = National 51| bank of Minneapolis, in a speech made at Hough- ton, Mich., before the Upper Peninsula Bankers’ association, declared that the United States government had declined to join in a political move in Minnesota, known as the ‘“America First association,” “to offset the in- jurious effect of the activities of the Nonpartisan league.” Mr. Chapman is a member of the America First association. He de- clared in his speech that the associa- tion was organized to combat the or- ganized farmers, but that the United States government would not lend its ° aid to the America First association. This is an official statement from a member of the America First .asso- ciation and must be taken as true. The organized farmers can be con- gratulated on_having a government that will not lend its aid to political moves against the farmers, under the guise of “loyalty.” Among - other papers which have carried the report of the matter are the McHenry Tribune of North Da- kota and the Plentywood Press of Montana. others- printed the following account of the matter: : “That the federal government ap- preciates the loyal support -of the Nonpartisan league and has mot the slightest doubt about the patriotism of its leaders, has just been inadvert- ently admitted by a bitter opponent of the League, who let the cat out of the bag when he told how the admin- istration refused to lend itself to an attack on' the farmers’ organization planned and directed by certain big business agents and politicians in Minnesota. “Details of the whole conspiracy were revealed by Joseph Chapman, vice president of the Northwestern National bank of Minneapolis, in a speech made at Houghton, Mich., be- ‘fore the Upper Peninsula Bankers’ association. A report of his speech appeared in the Houghton Gazette of January 27.: SRR : : ports, Joseph Chapman, - These two papers and . “Mr, - “According * to - Mr. Cl_n‘lpman‘,"‘ a ... . 7 PAGE NINETEEN prominent member of the America First association, the great loyalty rally held at the Twin Cities on No- vember 16 was organized ‘to offset the' injurious effect of the activities of the Nonpartisan league.” This verifies a statement made at the time by the Duluth News-Tribune that the ‘loy- alty meeting was planned at a con- ference of business men, bankers and newspaper publishers to combat the influence of the Nonpartisan league.’ “In arranging plans for this meet- ing, according to Mr. Chapman, ‘Washington was asked to permit one - representative of the national govern- ment, a member of the cabinet of the president, to attend and lend his pres- ence to the good cause.’ “‘And the reply we got from Wash- ington,’ continued Mr. Chapman, ‘was that this could be done only if Town- ley, the organizer and director of the Nonpartisan league, could have a place on the platform and be allowed to speak.’ “Promoters of the meeting, of course, refused to agree to this ar- rangement. The government’s desire to unite all the forces of the North- west meant nothing to these men. Politics, 'not patriotism, was their chief consideration and they would rather go without the cabinet officer than to give Mr. Townley the place on the program requested by the fed- eral government. . “Mr. Chapman’s admission will be a stumbling block to those who are making false charges of disloyalty against the Nonpartisan league. Al- though there has been no doubt in the minds of fair persons as to the complete loyalty of the League and its leaders ever since President Wil- son consulted with Mr. Townley about the needs of the farmers, this state- ment of Mr. Chapman furnishes ad- ditional evidence and has all the more weight in that it comes from an enemy of the League. ~ Chapman’s statement . also shows that those who accuse the League of disloyalty know that their charges are false and simply make them for political effect, although they must ‘realize that this stirs up strife and has an embarrassing effect on public opinion’ at ‘home as well as abroad.” -~ - $ rolling wealth. } I ADVERTISEMENTS HOOVER-IZE : Your Threshing By HE national food dictatorhas exactly the plan you want in threshing.
