GARAND RIFLES IN THE ,
ARMY
Some indication of the progress of
rearmament is to be found in the re
port of Robert C. Patterson, Under
Secretary of War, who says that all
front-line combat troops will have
Garand semi-automatic rifles "by
next month."
While there has been some argu
ment about the merits of the Garand
rifle, most expats believe that the
weapon makes the American soldier
worth four soldiers of any other na
tion.
EIGHT POINTS, AND
- OTHERS
There are Americans so busy talk
ing about "communism," a subject
of which they know little or nothing,
that ? they overlook the recent
action of the Soviet government in
adhering "to the eight-point declara
tion of principles recently enunciated
by the President and Mr. Winston
Churchill.
Meeting in London the representa
tives of ten allied nations endorsed
the aims of the Atlantic charter, al
though several of them, notably
Poland, Czechoslovakia and Free
France, asked for "security," sug
gesting that there must be some safe
guard against the resurrection of
German militarism.
It would be natural to assume that,
after the end of the present war, the
victors will take all necessary steps
to clinch their success. The defeat
of Germany will undoubtedly be fol
lowed by stern measures, designed
to prevent the rise of another Hit
ler.
Meanwhile, the people of this coun
try should be prepared to support
whatever measures become necessary
to force the Germans to disgorge the
spoils that they have acquired from
be peoples of other nations by force
erritory bat also to plants,
?d supplies.
FARMERS HAVE MEMORIES 1;
"la the long ran," says Henry Mor- 1
pnthau, Jr., Secretary of the Trees- j
gy, "the worst sufferers from infln- j
We are not expert upon the sub
feet but we have some recollections j
is to what occurred in 1921 and it is s
kit solemn opinion Oat Henry spoke \
ft W'?n*l*fal- ; I
The ptifht of agriculture in the j
United States, after 1921, was de- j
pforable. Farmers of this country (
Ban *^1 to the Kijgfcth?y ^
icourge that bankrupted agriculture
is an indualry. They should he very ,
careful before following the lure of j
sxeeaaive prices. <
We think the farmers should con
centrate their efforts upon the at- ,
tainment of parity. They 'should (
resolutely oppose exorbitant price
levels for other services and supplies.
It is the only Way to a permanent
prosperity on the farm. .11
It is comforting to hear some lead-!
ers talking about new high prices
for agricultural commodities but I
farmers, before joining in the de
mand, should rely upon the sound ad
vice of experts who have studied their
problems. They should pause, just
long enough to hear the voices of
the past wfeich will remind them of
the hard road they travelled after
1921.

PLENTY OF BREAKS
Los Angeles.?There have been
plenty of "Breaks" (of bones) %in the
Keriey recently. Sonny Kerley broke
bis arm, Ida Mae broke her finger,
Mary Ann contributed a broken arm,
Mrs. Frances Keriey a broken collar
bone, and more recent of all, June,
the 15-year-old daughter, suffered a
broken leg when hit by a oar.
The individual who attempts to re
form the entire human race has an
exaggerated opinion of his, or her,
ability.
In addition to the base pay receiv
ed by enlisted men in the U. S. Navy
anl Naval Reserve, men receive addi
tional pay for certain types of work
or honors received. For example, a
seaman awarded the Distinguished
Service Medal, Distinguished Flying
Cross or Navy Cross, receives $2
extra a month; gun captains receive
$2 to $5 a month extra; mail clerks,
$10 to |80 a month extra; expert
riflemen or expert pistol shots, |S
more a month; sharp-shooters, |1
extra per month; divers jflO-to $20
extra each month, et cetera.
