YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE RICH to help American Defense. That's the theme of the above poster,
one of the newest of the Defense Savings promotional pieces now going up in streetcars, on bulletin'
boards and at other public places. This poster emphasizes the point advanced by the Treas iry Depart

tools necessary to protect her freedom.
WE MAY LOSE
THIS WAR YET
(Owen Johnson, noted author, in a
letter to the New York Times.)
It cannot be brought home too
soon or repeated too often that
this is not a war th.t is like any
other war, even the last world
war. It is not the beginning of a
progression of wars. It is the cli
max in a series of wars both in the
west and in the east that has been
waged for 50 years with a single
objective: the destruction of ex
isting civilization and tne suusu
tution of new barbarc empires.
The wars of Bismarck, the wars
of the Hohenzollerns and the suc
cessive hammer blows of Hitler
are all preliminary battles in the
grandiose conception of a new
German day German civilization
triumphant over a supine world.
So in the east, the first Chinese
war, the Russian war, the presen1.
conquest of Asia have all been
conceived and undertaken with
the final objective of establishing
a great military Japanese empire,
absorbing all Asia and Australasia
and dominating not only the Pa
cific but the shores of South and
Central America,
There has never been any con
cealment either in Germany or
Japan of the destiny they sought.
This is the final struggle. They
themselves admit the character of
this war. It is the struggle for
survival. One ideology or the oth
er must go. Hitler himself has said
it.
Awakening Needed
In order to wake up America it
is time to stop discussing the pe
riod needed for vitcory and to
place before a still utterly confi
dent, utterly complacent nation
not only the possibility of defeat
but exactly what that defeat would
mean. The American public does
not and cannot yet conceive of de
feat. That is the real, present dan
ger. It has been hurt in its pride.
It is disillusioned as to the suppos
ed weakness of the Japanese mili
tai'y machine. It is now preparing
for the worst, but a "temporary"
worst, in the Pacific. Singapore,
the Dutch East Indies, ma yfollow
Hong Kong and the Philippines.
Australia is a question mark.
But there is Imagination stops.
Bi-yond that it sees only a long de
fensive stalemate until the mo
ment whan Hitler crashes. Then
against the combined of the United
States, England and Russia, a year
or two more and Japan definitely
crushed, not to threaten again for
a hundred years. A humiliating
shock to be endured with grim pa
tience, but in the end the inevit-
Hardihips Involved
This, I submit, is a fair picture
of the public's present conception
of the course of the war. It will in
volve hardship. It will necessitate
!rreat sacrifice in human lives
but the integrity and safety of
American soil cannot conceivably
be involved. The public believe
this because this is what it is be
ing told a long war perhaps, but
victory inevitable. It should be in
evitable and it can be inevitable,
but only if the stark, naked truth
can be made to sink into the pub
lic consciousness that this war is a
war for our own survival. Not pri
marily to rescue civilization, but
first and above all for our own
survival.
What is really happening in the
west and in the east? In a war for
survival we must envisage every
possibility and particularly the
worst that can happen. In Libya
the allies have scored a brilliant
defensive victory, but unless Trip
oli is taken within a reasonaoie
time no conclusion will have been
attained. If Tripoli is not taken
it is still within the bounds of pos
sibility that the French fleet and
ports may be surrendered or taker,
by a coup de main, that Spain may
be overrun and Gibraltar captur
ed, closing the Mediterranean; that
a great German army with a vast
armada will sweep down from
Tunisia and reconquer again what
has been won. Then a new threat
to the Suez Canal and the allied
front with Russia. Casablanca and
Dakar nests of German submarin
es and bombers.
Hitler's Blunder
In Russia, Hitler, in his arrogant
mpatience, has committed a great
tactical blunder. He is paying for!
it heavily in casualties and mater
ial. It may become a military dis
aster of critical effect on the dura
tion of the war. But there is yet
no evidence that this is happening
or about to happen. The Germans
are retreating, even retreating be
yond lines which they had intend
ed to hold, retreating at fearful
sacrifices, but there is no rout and
no panic. Only when the war bul
letins tell us of hundreds of thou
sands of German prisoners taken
will we have the right to say that
a major victory has been scored
and that the crippled German mil
itary machine will have had to re
linquish the offensive.
In the east in four weeks Japan
has taken Hong Kong, Manila,
Guam and Wake, forcing us to op
erate from distant Hawaii; invad
ed Burma and Malaya, and is a
bout to invest Signapore, using
new air bases and new naval ba3C3
as close strategic points from
which to attack. What can happen
if Singapore falls? The loss of the
Dutch East Indies, with enormous
supplies of tin, rubber and gaso
line in the possession of the enemy
and directly withdrawn from the
allies.
But the situation is even more
omnous. If the German armies
have not been routed with crippling
losses not merely forced back
All this may not happen, but it
might well happen if we have
overestimated the ultimate Rus
sian strength and underestimated
the strength of Japan. We are
geared to thinking in terms of
1943, but all this might happen in
1942 before the full force of our
military potentialities could be set
in motion.
Public Ignorant
The authorities in Washington
are fu'ly aware of the danger. But
the general public has still no con
ception of our critical situation. It
is still hugging the illusion oi an
internal crack-up in Germany and
an exhausted Japan unable indus
trially to last more than a year.
Neither Germany nor Japan is
under any illusions. They know
they must rise or utterly perish by
the terms which they themselves
have imposed on this conflict. It
is a war for their survival now
and they must fight ruthlessly, des
perately, without thought of sac
rifice or consequence if they are
to escape the obliteration they
have prepared for us.
We, too, must face the truth
that we are in one of the epic mo
ments of history which decide the
course of centuries, such as when
Grecian civilization held off the
Persians, or when Carthage was
stamped out by Rome, or again
when Charles Martel's heroic
fighters died to save western civ
ilization from the Saracen. Our
people, too, must be brought to
this realization if they are to be
morally prepared for whatever
1942 will bring to try the souls of
men.
If we go into this war in the
spirit of grim reality, prepared for
the worst that can happen, but
knowing, too, that to survive there
must be no gambling with the fu
ture, no half-way preparation, that
nothing but all-out mobilization,
all-out sacrifices, all-out effort
from every man, every woman,
young and old then only have we
a right to look into the future with
grim and dogged resolution and
say the end will be victory.
Truth Important
It is the responsibility of the
great free press of America to tejl
the people the truth. Don't with
hold from them the terrifying con
sequence of defeat. Be tough with
them. Tell them again and again
and again that the stake is our
own survival. Prepare them now
for any disasters that may come.
Stiffen their Mcks, toughen them,
steel their courage to fight it out,
no matter what the odds, or the
errors, or the disasters, or the de
feats, whether it takes two years
or ten. Believe me, the truth will
double their strength and will
twaken the moral grandeur of a
free people.
Thus intelligent and resolved,
no disaster can weaken them, no
sacrifices can be too great to be
borne and no compromises will be
tolerated. The issue will be clear.
One world or the other is to sur
vive. Which? Not the mechaniz
ed barbarism of cruel and treach
erous ideologies, but our own civ
ilization, free men, proud of our
liberties, undaunted and resolved
to, go to the bitter end, admitting
no final defeat, refusing stead
fastly to postpone the issue when
the issue is our ow nsurvival.

Weaver Again Urges
Ordering of Parts
RALEIGH, Jan. 21. Despite
scattered reports to the contrary,
there is every need for farmers to
order repair parts for their farm
machinery immediately, says Da
vid S. Weaver, agricultural engi
neer of N. C. State College.
In a few counties, he said, local
implement dealers have question
ed the necessity of ordering
promptly because they felt repair
parts would be available in suffi
cient amounts at any time this
year.
While it is true that the produc
tion of these parts will be about
five percent greater than in 1941,
it must be realized, Weaver said,
that new machinery will be scarce.
Therefore, many farmers will have
to patch up old machines they had
intended to discard this year.
At the same time, the State Col
lege man explained, the Nation
has been called upon and w:'' de
liver on all-time record of farm
production in 1942. This must be
done with less labor than was a
vailable in 1941. Consequently,
more machines will be required to
do the job. More machines in op
eration mean more repairs than
ever before.
Even though implement dealers
may nave a large amount oi iepau
material in sight, Weaver pointed
out, it may not be enough to han
dle the extreme needs which in all
probability they will i'ace as farm
ers visualize the necessity lor re
pairing their machinery in the
coming crop year.
A State-wide campaign design
ed to call the farmer's full atten
tion to the importance of putting
his machinery in good shape has
been launched and is getting a
good response, the State College
engineer said.
Highway Department
To Consider Rations
For Tires and Cars
RALEIGH, Jan. 21. Numerous
problems that have arisen as a re
sult of the tire, automobile and
truck rationing programs as they
relate to the revenue of the High
way Department, as well as the
affect of priorities on material and
equipment will be considered by
the State Highway and Public
Works Commission at its i'orth
coming meeting this week, L. B.
Prince, chairman, said today.
This meeting, originally sched
uled for January 9th, was post
poned until Friday, January 23rd,
at which time it will be held in Ra
leigh. It is expected that the Com
mission will discuss policies af
fecting its course during the. na
tional emergency.
"In order to present accurate
information to the Commission
for its decision in determining the
course to be followed, a study is
being made of these problems,"
Prince said today.
He added that use of unallocat
ed revenues for major construc
tion projects in improving the pri
mary road system will be largely
eliminated as a result of priorities
on materials and equipment. Also,
slated for consideration Friday,
Prince said, is the possibility of
enlarging the secondary road pro
gram to some extent.
W. H. Sutton of the Lake Toxa
way community has captured the
Transylvania County record for
growing Irish potatoes, producing
429 bushels on 1 1-4 acres, or an
average of 343.2 bushels per acre.

Leaf Growers Face
Shortage of Canvas
RALEIGH, Jan. 21. Faced
with a general shoi-tage of plant
bed canvas, tobacco farmers are
being urged to use every method
possible for the more efficient
production of plants.
Realizing the seriousness of the
present plight of leaf growers, a
committee of N. C. State College
specialists has formulated a list of
practices which will help to some
extent in relieving the emergency.
First, the group recommended
that the plant bed be located un
der the most favorable conditions
available. A southeastern exposure
in a well-drained soil is preferable,
as is the selection of a site as free
of weeds and stumps as possible.
The use of one pound of a 6-9-3
or 1 1-2 to 2 pounds of a 4-9-3
fertilizer per square yard of plant
bed is recommended.
Because of the shortage of new
canvas, some farmers will be forc
ed to use old plant bed covers. In
certain instances, these old covers
may not be strong enough 'to use
on the usual type of board side-
wall plant bed.
While not a good practice from
an insect control standpoint, the
most efficient use of old weak can
vas can be had in combination
with the straw method. An even
distribution of not in excess of 20
to 25 pounds of well-threshed
wheat, oat, or rye straw should be
used per 100 square yards of plant
bed area. The covers should be
placed directly on the straw and
anchored to the ground by means
of pegs, not using poles or boards
as side walls.
Since such beds are susceptible
to attack by insects, especially flea
beetles, a close watch should be
kept and proper control measures
taken at the first signs of infesta
tion. Measures should also be em
ployed to control any outbreaks of
blue mold.
