STOKES MEN
AT EAST RADFORD
EXODUS OF LABOR TO THE I
OBEAT POWDEB PLANT OF
VDTGINIA PBIOES ABE
' HIGH FOB SKILLED WOBK
' MEN TOBACCO CERTAIN
TO BE HIGH THIS FALL.
I
Ernest Beasley, formerly em
ployed at the Stokes highway 1
camp, now Working at East Rad
ford, spent the week-end in
Stokes.
Ernest says from 75 to 100
Stokes county men, laborers, car
penters, truck drivers, all-round:
men, are new working at the (
great $50,000,000 powder plant;
being erected for government de
fense by the Hercules Powdei (
corporation.
Ernest says skilled artisans arr
making big wages, some as high
as $75.00 per week. The
wage scale runs from 40 cents up J
for 8 hours. There are 3 shifta,
using the whole 24 hours.
The government is losing no I
time. Ace men who are able to
work are given employment at
big wages. The result of the at
traction at Radford, Martinsville,
Fort Bragg, Wilmington, j
lotte, Panama, etc., is draining j
the country of labor, so that it i* |
generally conceded that tobacco
will sell at unheard of prices thr
fall as there will be such a sea:
city of hands with which to make
a crop.

(An Editorial.)
IS LINDBERGH A TRAITOR ?
When Chas. A. Lindbergh testified before the
congressional committee that America needed
only 10,000 planes, and that America is in no
danger of being* attacked by the axis powers, he
[exhibited himself before the intelligent and pa
triotic people of the United States to be either a
fool or a traitor.
With Lindbergh's intelligence, information
and experience ro one will accuse him of being a
fool.
It can only follow that if we read aright the re
actions of the people, that he is believed to be
perverting his influence and knowledge to the
interest of the enemies of this nation.
And then listen to this: "It would not be best
to see Germany defeated. I should prefer to see
neither side win." ; •!
Going on the "Colonel" said: "The United
States is pursuing a very foolish course in help
ing Britain. England can't win this war even
with 'all out' American help."
Even the schoolboys know that Germany's air
power overwhelmingly outmatches that of Eng-|
land. Germany vastly out-matched England in j
air power before she annexed the industries of j
Czechoslovakia, Belgium and France. Walter;
Winchell. probably the best informed and cer
tainly the most American of the radio commenta
tors, stated Sunday night over the air that Hit
her is now making 3,500 planes per month, while
William S. Knudson, our production chief, said'
! America is producing only 800, half of these for
Britain and half for us. Mr. Knudson added
;that it would be July, 1942, before cur factories
coukl fill an order of 14,000 for the Briti-h and
19,000 for America.
Gevmanv nwsiblv now has 80,000 nlanes to
England's 12.000. Pv July, 1042, Hitler can hav
a force of 9'»,000 planes.
Thus we may easUy vi-ua-ize the tragic potrn
; hi lilies of the months to conic, if and when Ger
many crushes England and England tr rcivo he
women and children, gives up the fleet.
If the efforts of Lindbergh, Wheeler. Nye, YT.I
denburgh, Holt, Brow.ler, etc.. amount to les.-
than traitorism to the American nation, thl
: newspaper must be shown.
j More than a year ago the Reporter advocated
.the building of 100,000 planes for the defense of
America, and urged that those industries who
would not be willing to devote their facilities to
| this end, should be commandeered by the govern-
I ment.
The President himself has suggested a pro
gram of 50,000 planes.
It will, we fear, be a sad reflection in the mind 3
of the people when in the not distant future they
realize that the program for their protection
should have been so inadequate.
Now the shibboleth is "All Out for England",
and congress fumes and argues and protests,
while the precious days go by.
If and when the war-cry becomes "All Ou 1 : for
America," shall we still with our lenient laws
suffer the presence in our midst of those copper
heads who today are doing their utt3rniost with
the pay of Hitler in their pockets, to destroy the
ireedom and democracy of this nation?
