We Will Not Forget
If Americans want to demonstrate
their heart-felt jubilation over the end
i of the war in Europe, they will observe
this day - V-E Day in a manner
; befitting the great victory and the
great sacrifices made to achieve it.
They will not forget that a gracious
and kind Providence has given direc
j _:_u? ui:_?
complish when we dedicated our armed
might to the struggle in which we
are engaged.
We will not forget that the task of
building a secure peace is greater than
the task of winning a total victory, and
that to the extent that we as world j
nations learn to live together in peace
and brotherhood, to that extent we
will have built a better world.
We will not forget even those who j
yesterday were our enemies, who today
faced the dark hour of total defeat, and
jwho now must be made to pay the price
/ for the grievous wrongs they have inflicted
upon all mankind.
These things we will remember as
we today observe Victory in Europe
Day, and pray God that we may be
granted the grace and wisdom to fashion
the kind of world for ourselves, for
our children, and for our children's'
children where,
"The war drums throb no longer
and the battle flags are furled,
"In the parliament of man, the federation
of the world".
Due For A Surprise
Folks who thought it hard to get
some of the foodstuff they wanted this
year are due to get a real surprise,
perhaps a resounding shock, at being
confronted with the real thing in the
way of need before another twelve
months roll by.
Don't get the idea that the clearing
up of things in Europe will relieve the
domestic food situation. It won't. If
anything, matters will become worse.
For the next vear or twn at the vorv
least there is nothing but sheer starvation
awaiting millions of people in
practically every country where the
ravages of war have been felt during
the past five years.
For a lot of those people food will
have to be produced from somewhere,
. (ion IO our armeu uugm m tnawnu6 I
. us to arrive at this great moment of
; triumph, and for that they will return I
soul-searching gratitude.
They will not forget that for hun- j
dreds of thousands the hour of triumph
came too late, and that tor millions j
of comrades in arms who plodded the
weary road toward victory, there will
be no home-coming ever.
They will not forget that for many
more thousands, the war has brought
broken bodies and broken minds, and |
that during the years that lie ahead, j
they will carry with them the physical I
and mental scars of war.
They will not forget that victory in
Europe has left millions without home,
without food, without clothing, without
health, and without anything but
hope.
They will not forget that for millions
of homes in America, indeed,
among all the nations, victory is accompanied
by the poignant remembrance
that there is a voice forever stilled,
that the lad who went marching
forth to war will not be coming back.
They will not forget that while victory
jubilations are being held upon
one side of the world, on the other
side are men still neck-deep in war.
They will not forget that victory in
Europe is but the completion of one
great stage of this war, that many of
the same men who achieved this day
of triumph in Europe will yet die along
the road to complete victory against I
the enemy in the Far East.
They will not forget that the road '
to total victory against Japan will be
fraught with exceedingly great difficulties
requiring exceedingly great
sacrifices.
They will not forget that this victory
celebration is but a momentary pause
in the task which we set out to ac- ;
ican people would oe so sick and tired
of war and so impoverished they would
lack both the strength and will to carry
on with the fight in the Pacific.
It is now probably their idea that
with Germany gone under, it is their
time to show what they have often
claimed, that they are the superior
race. They may be counted on to fight
all the harder from now on, inspired
by the hope that in our jubilation at
beating Germany we will call things
off in the Pacific, especially if they
show themselves determined to fight.
Right now is the time, more than
any other time, for the American people
to come forward and show Japan
that for her there is nothing but unconditional
surrender. Any failure to meet
the 7th War Bond Drive, which begins
next Monday, will show the treacherous
Nips that our hearts are not in the
fight against them.
The putting across of the 7th War
Bond Drive is a job for the American
people here on the home front and the
quicker we buy the bonds and thus put
up the money that the government
needs to finish the war with Japan,
the quicker will Japan be defeated.
Next Monday should mark the beginning
of the greatest bond drive the
United States has ever had. We should
makn ihp wppk a hunnpr wppV in cnn.
port of the United States armed forces.
The Germans, now a beaten people, 1
were adept at lying in their propagan- j
da concerning the war in all of its
stages. If we have nothing better than
their word for it, we would choose to
believe that Hitler has not been in
Berlin for weeks. The whole story of
his being there, fighting heroically
with his troops, was cocked up in order
to inspire fanatical resistance among
the troops and civilian population of
Berlin.
Hitler may be dead. If he is we very
much doubt that he died in Berlin. I

upon the . people of the United
States, untouched by wat, wiii fail the
burden of producing most of what is
needed. The American people can
grow food, but it looks as if they will
not.he able'to buy it. At least not just /
1 what they want and when they want
it for several years to come.
The answer to the food shortage, if
we have such, is in gardens and gen- i
era! farm foodstuffs. It is not too late
to plant and grow either, or to raise
meats. If you have felt the pinch of j
war-time food shortage it is up to you ,
to set about now seeing that this pinch 1
does not grow into something really
terrible for the first few post-war
years.
A good way to avoid surprise and
possible future pain is to plant gardens
now and keep on planting them. Raise
all of the farm foodstuffs that you can
possibly raise. Certainly you should !
raise all for your own needs.
Crop Calls For Work
The world-wide shortage of cigarettes
during the past year, combined
with the admitted low level of the raw
tobacco poundage, has apparently
calsed tobacco growers everywhere to 'i
set out to produce the limit of a tobacco
crop this year.
Apparently all growers who have
had ah allotment of a little more ac
reage than thejr cared to handle in the \
crop during past years are planting all
they are allowed to this season. In addition
to the great number of growers
who are going the limit with their allotments,
this year finds a great many
farmers producing tobacco for the first
time in several years. They had allotments
and never used them until inspired
by prospects of high prices.
It seems well to bear in mind at this
stage of the game that a great tobacco
crop is not produced by merely planting
all of the acreage that can be plan- I
ted. The growing season has much to j
do with the yield, and no man can ad- I
just the weather to his own needs. The j
most that a tobacco grower can do is j
to prepare his ground as well as pos- !
sible, fertilize the weed, and work like
the devil to see that the crop gets
every care and attention from the time |
it is planted until it is placed on the
warehouse sales floors. The tobacco
crop is a crop that calls for work. But,
there is no need of telling that to a tobacco
grower. He knows it, or else he
is not a tobacco grower.
A Job For Us
If Japan ever imagined that Germany
would be beaten, which is unlikely,
it is fairly safe to believe that they
thought when that happened the Amer

Ey investing in the 7th War
Loan the patriotic American is
safe-guarding his own future, his
country's future.
By putting every dollar over
rock-bottom expenses into the
purchase of War Bonds, he is delivering
a body blow to wartime
inflation?thus putting a lid on
the cost of living and maintaining
intact the purchasing power
of the dollar. At the same time
too, he is insuring the country and
himself against the catastrophe
of a possible post-war deflation
?with its depression, unemployment,
misery, and heartache.
So save for your country?save
for yourself. In helping your country,
you are also helping yourself.
Comes peace, we'll all need money
for education, .replacements,
retirement, new homes, a new
start?and we'll need a lot of it.
There isn't a better or safer highroad
to your goal than United
