THANKSGIVING, 1941
I ? " *?* \" ' 'I
This year, Lard, I come on bended
knee;
Although I am human and in times
of peace, .
I am liable to forget
To thank Thee.
For the simple things I daily enjoy;
Food, shelter, understanding friends;
The miracle at nature
I am prone to ignore.
But, Lord, I am conscious this year,
Of the many blessings,
Which with each passing moment of
the day,
Seem to me more dear.

ANOTHER "NEW" WEAPON
The British have a new sea wea
pon, according to an Associated Press
Dispatch, recently received from Lon
don, which adds that "most higher
ups" deny knowing about it.
A foreign report asserted that the
British are filling depth charges with
as explosive forty-seven times more
powerful than TNT. This also has
not been confirmed by the British.
We are a bit wary of secret wea
pons fit which there was much talk
in the World War of 1914-1918.
None of them ever came to light on
the battle field. The same result
will be observed, most likely, in re
spect to the presently reported new
weapon.
NO PIKER
The Honorable Joseph Stalin is no
piker!
He says that Russian losses ol
360,000 killed and 1,268,000 wounded
and missing ~ do not compare witl
the German losses, 4,500,000 men,
dead, wounded and captured since
June 22.
The Soviet leader is probably talk
ing for the benefit of his own people,
just as Hitler exaggerates for home
consumption, and for the same rea
sons.
Military experts are almost unani
mous is the belief that Russian losses
have been heavier than those of Ger
many but one thing can be said oi
Stalin, he promises Adolf a fight to
the finish, with some evidence ol
confidence that it will be Germany's
finish.
IN PAYMENT FOR LEND
LEASE
The average American today be
lieves that the billions of dollars that
we are spending for Lend-Lease aid
is being passed out without any
strings attached. But if this is the
case, why have members of the Brit
ish House of Commons called United
States defense officials "hard bar
gainers?" -
It is true that defense officials are
not making the mistake of the last
war; that is, asking thoee nations is
debt to us to repay us in gold. Thai
was an impossible request in the lad
war, and it mould be even more ab
sored now.
Our leaders, however, are compell
ing those receiving Lend
Lease aid to pay as mueh as they
possibly can. For example, fire
sixths of British holdings in thu
country have been sold to pay for
war orders. And the bulk of the re
mainder is pledged aa security for
an HFC loan. *
This is not the only way that Lend
Lease countries are paying us hack.
In fact, the United States is receiv
ing air and naval bases, access to
raw materials, and trade concessions!
that will greatly strengthen her po
sition . and prestige in the postwar
period.
The Lend-Lease Act authorizes the
President of the Uaited States to ar
range for the repayment of Lend
Lease funds in any direct or indirect
way that he thinks is satisfactory.
? Thus, what this country receives in
return for the Lend-Lease billions
depends on our President's bargain
ing power.
, President Roosevelt has billions of
dollars with which to buy concessions
i to gain power and prestige for this
t country in the postwar era. And
power and prestige are two essential
qualities that the United States must
have if she is to be a potent factor in
dictating and consolidating a victori
ous peace.. .

Floyd Spikes Rumor About
Food-Grabbling
Currently making its rounds in
| certain communities is a story that
"the Government is going to take a
' part of all the foods people have
1 canned or stored for winter use."
i E. Y. Floyd, State AAA executive
, assistant, has labeled this rumor as
i "preposterous," saying that evident
ly "some people are attempting to
? misconstrue the aims of the farm
, defense program."
> In one Virginia county, it was re
- ported that an individual has actual
ly appeared at farm homes with a
? truck and represested himself as &
i collector of food for the Government,
? even taking food from some unsu
' specting farm families.
i "It would appear," Floyd said,
"that a few individuals are trying to
t take advantage of the farm defense
program for their own gain by mis
representing the facts to people who
have not been informed.
"Actually," he continued, "one
basic objective of the program is to
. encourage people to produce and pre
; serve food for home use as well as
I certain commodities for countries re
r sisting aggression."
, The AAA executive emphasized:
. "No one is authorized to collect food,
[ and anyone attempting to do so
. should be reported to local law en
forcement authorities at once."
>. North Carolina'farm families have
; given their wholehearted support to
L the Government's request for more
; food in 1942 and are now making
l plans to produce the extra food prod
. nets needed in the food-for-freedom
campaign, Floyd said. x
Lindbergh wonders whether there
' will be any elections in the United
? States in 1942?-he knows there wont
i be any in Germany!
