It is an apparent fact that many who have
enjoyed their food stuffs delivered to them at a
price below cost of production to the farmer
are now trying to belittle the Agricultural Ad
?juiitin cut?Adnnnisti at inn's efforts LU pushing
farm commodity prices almost to hut not to
parity levels The man who has received good
pay for his acts and labors is now pointing out
that Leon Henderson is oil one side of the fence
trying to hokl down prices to the consumer
while the AAA is on the other side of the fence
trying to increase prices for the farmer
It would seem that some .people in this world
would rceognke the glaring fact that the two
agencies might be trying to balance an econom
ic system that has made the funnel and most
working men the goats in this good country of
ours. It is reasonable to believe that Mr. Hen
derson is well aware that many prices received
by the farmyj;, are below parity levels, that in
such cases he will consider it expedient for
those prices to be increased. After all the con
sumer can't expect the farmer to grow the na
tion's food at a price below cost of production
plus a sacrifice Ami it is little more than short
sightedness on the part of a few wise fellows
m the swivel chairs who have never tasted the
sweat as it trickled down the face in a hot field
and who declare that something will have to be
done about the policies of the AAA and Mr
Henderson and his pnt-e fixers- Mr. Henderson
may step in when tomatoes start selling for $2.40
a pound as they are selling 111 England today,
but it is not likely that Mr. Henderson w.ill in
tervene in behalf of the consumer as long as
Hie farmer is selling his produce below the cost
of production. And no self-centered individual
01 group of individuals Waxing fat either di
rectly or indirectly off rich defense contracts
can expect to go on living off the farmer as a
dead beat or as an human leecln

march to world domination, the situation as it
exists today while offering some hope for Eng
land and America at the same time is offering
a greater threat to the civilized world If Russia
' checks or even slows down Hitler, she even
though frowned upon by our goodie-good citi
zens as an heathen country, wilj have rendered
democracy meaningful-aid in a critical time. If
Germany chokes the Russian_Bear, grabs what
he wants and apparently needs and arranges
another "protective" peace, England, America
and the rest of the civilized world are in line
for a long war. a marked expansion of great
sacrifice and untold suffering not only for those
victims witltin the war arena today, but also
for many millions at the present removed from
the scene of conflict.
The implications following Germany's unan
nounced invasion of Russia are many and only
time will reveal them in their true light. At the
present the cold facts as they are broadly seen
call foi immediate action. England and the
United States cannot afford to rest upon their
oars now that Russia is engaging a world en
emy. The war should be prpsecuted even more
vigorously than before by Hitler's hx-s in uni
wjii. ? ~?
Russia may not be our ideal when it comes
to government. We may not understand all the
facts underlying the almost unbelievable
changes in that great country during the past
quarter of a century, but one thing is certain
and that is when the final showdown present
et^iself, the Russia people offered their lives
in defense of their country. And now it be
hooves us to remember that we are bordering
on paganism ourselves, that Russia wasn't real
ly as bad as many would have had us to believe,
and that now it is time for us to join in the bat
tle against a common foe. Mr. Churchill, in one
of the 'greatest and most stirring speeches of
the yean., pledged Russia every aid possible,
declaring that every people who joined Hitler
was England's enemy.
The fight is on and a new and greater oppor
tunity is outs. Will we falter and fail or will
we as a option clinging to Christian-like ideals
arid valuing that which is right in the sight of
man. share its part of the burden in a tasR~to
liberate suffering peoples everywhere and make
sure our own freedom?

"Out fathers looked to God for their direction.
-WoTe; looked about every place else.'' And see
what a mess it's got us into.
The above is taken from the pamphlet, "You
Can Defend America," which offers some time
ly advice in the present emergency, as follows:
Musket and powder-horn once hung over the
door of every American home Our fathers were
not afraid to use them. The Minute Men at Lex
ington and Concord seized them and ran to de
fend their country. Not a man in America
would hesitate to do it again if invaders threat
ened his humeJjud.?-??
Hut America has already been invaded, bike
paiachute troops in the night, fear, bate and
greed have slipped into our homes, our-indus
tiies our communities. Like termites they are
eating away .our national character.
The fight is on. The fight against our softness,

tcrialism allies of the Fifth Column. The bat
tle line runs through every home, every office,
every factory, every farm. It is a daily battle.
It takes courage
You and 1 .'50 million other Americans can en
list today in this light. You don't have to wait
to be put into uniform. You're in the army now.
First lick the enemy inside yourself. Then
get the next fellow to join you m the battle, for
a new America. Fight to make your home and
community a pattern . . . Fight to bring tetim
work in industry . Fight to unite the nation
Then America will have what ancient Chi
na lacked. What modern France lacked. She
will have TOTAL defense
William I'enn said, "Men must be governed
by God, or they will be ruled by tyrants''
What are you governed by? Your wife? Your
husband" Your desires? Your packet book'.' Tear
of losing your job? Personal ambition?
Only God can change human nature. When
you decide to be governed by God. then the
change comes.
The first step is to face the facts. The facts
about yourself. Honest? Unselfish? Neighbor
ly? Clean? Puu?"At home? In industry? In poF
itics?
Our fathers looked to God for their direction.
.We've looked about every place else.

Associated Shipbuilders of Seattle haw just

turning 50 per cent of their estimated profits
on a $1,17!),000 contract because later awards of
contracts totaling $17,000,000 have increased
the volume of work and reduced overhead
charges to a point where costs on the original

Navy nor the taxpayer might otherwise have
learned is a praiseworthy example of corpor
ate patriotism.
Are other 'defense contractors whose plants
are being expanded at Government expense
-equally alert to the opportunity for making de
fense funds go farther? The effectiveness of
appeals for labor to put national defense work
above wage increases depends somewhat on
the extent to which the same spirit of patriot
ism is evidenced by tlios'e who voice the appeal.
Kvorv practical sign of industry's willingness
to put national defense before excessive prof
its such as that just given by the Seattle ship
builders is certain to strengthen the morale of
workers, and make them more willing to hold
up their end of the job confronting a united
America.
Be as careful of the books as of the
company you keep; for your habits and charac
ter will be as much influenced by the former as
by tho latler, TaxtorTTJood.
