Of course it was, in great measure, a prearranged affair; but even
so it set. a good example for the
Democrats to follow when they in
turn convene in the windy city with
their prearranged program. The late
convention lacked much of the sound
and tury of former like occasions;
there was some whoop-la, but not of
the utterly unrestrained type and in
the main, the proceedings were orderly, serious and uncommonly courteous.
We heard many stock phrases;
‘put we shall hear as many. of them

new ones as well. Humor was conspiculously absent from all deliberations; but there was a rare spirit
of good sportsmanship which it is
to be hoped may be carried into and

ENGLE ENTERS —
THREE BILLS TO
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 3—
Three bills to assist mine operators
with operating financial’ problems
have been introduced by Representative Clair Engle of the second congressional district.
One bill provides for-the suspension of enforcement on obligations,
previously incurred by operators, for
a period of one year beyond the. termination of the war. The measure
will apply to operators who were
forced to cease operations because:of
war time restrictions. Under the
terms of the bill, an operator would
be permitted to apply to a court for
a suspension of obligations.
“As the situation now stands,”
Engle said, “if the gold closing order were suddenly ‘repealed :creditors could in effect put an.operator
out of ‘business before he had a
chance to resume production simply
‘because the operator might not have,
sufficient funds to pay his creditors
and ‘carry the expense of reopening
his mines at the same: time.’
A second measure authorizes the
RFC to make loans for the relief of
mine operators whose properties,
closed by. war time ‘restrictions, are
being deteriorated. Applications for
loans could be made from the time
the bill becomes law until one year
after the expiration of the national
emergency.

A third bill authorizes the RMAC to

warfare conducted by Frenchmen
against the Nazi usurpers with detailed ‘accounting of damage done to

supply. dumps and German garrisons
on French -soil.
‘Meticulous instructions in conduct
are outlined for the safety or underground members, with warnings to
trust nobody without propér introduction or in possession of proper
passwords; to be armed always with
provable alibis for presence wherever
the underground operator needs to
be; to carry no lists, make no telewhere except are necessity requires;
to change meeting places often, and
to act unafraid when questioned,
searched or jailed.
Similar publications, pocket size
for safety, and Produced by . any
means at hand—miméograph, press
or typewriter—appear regularly in
the undergrounds of other occupied
conntries. The Norwegian Friheten
recently editorialized: .
; “Previously people in this land reacted rather strongly against murder. We remember still how we felt
when the first death sentences were
made known. Today it is different.
Now we receive the death sentences
with bitter hatred. They only sharp_]en our will to fight and to win, Our
organization is now so. large and
strong that we can reach the executioner—and we know how to strike
them.”
History of an intensely dramatic
new order is being written in those
. bloodstained little underground
sheets that collectively find their way
to milloins every week of the war.
It is history which must. prove to the
world for all time to come that a
free press—which men may seem to
regard casually enough in rormal
times—is in actuality no -casual
thing at all, but a matter more important than life itself to men who
love freedom and wish beyond all
things to maintain it.

“The latter bill provides that operators may make -application at

possible so that when restrictions are
lifted, loans can be made to qualified
‘applicants with a minimum of delay,” Engle said.
