WHAT PRICE PATRIOTISM?
Take the front page of any
daily newspaper and let your eyes
form a triangle of the news yov
will find there. At the apex is
the most important news of all;
important to those who have lov
ed ones on the fighting front. For
there you will find the casualty
list: Tragedy in all its accoutere
ments! Then let your eyes slide down
to the lower right, hand point of
the triangle: you will suddenly
feel a tightening of anger in your
throat and a feeling of nausea
that will encompass your soul.
You wonder, deep in your heart,
if some men can really under
stand what war and its horrors
tan mean. For at that right hand
corner you will find this startling
information staring you in the
face: "34,000 Men Out Of De
fense Plants On Strike." Then

WHAT SORT OF MEN ARE
THESE?
Their bank accounts are rising
to unheard of heights and, in
wardly, secretly, they are pro
moting1 the war just as much as
though it were possible for them
to grind out the orders to fight
on and on. Yet they are the very
men who condemn the Govern
ment for any expense that does
not enter into their narrow and
bigoted vision. They are the ones
that criticize the President, Con
gress, and others in power, then
go ahead and pat their respective
Congressmen on the backe because
these men happen to pass laws
that will benefit their individual
incomes. The men who profit in
politics are doing their level best
to pollute politics so that decent
men will hesitate to become a
candidate for any political job.
There are crooks, of course, in
every walk of life but none of j
them can compare with the men
who sit in exalted positions an
direct war fare so that it wHl
ring up on their individual cash
registers.
How can these gluttons of A-
nance face these returning men
who will come back maimed, sick
eneel and too, too often jobless
But how in all decency can they
face the widows and children of
those men wfio will never come
back to their families? Those
men who have written the word
PATRIOTISM with their life's
blood, not with a fountain pen

ALL America was thrilled when
l General Douglas MacArthur
first set foot on Philippine soil. We
now know from the long and des
perate enemy resistance on Leyte
and Mindoro that victory is still
far away.
It is a long, hard road that leads
to fokyo. That is why re-conver-
sion plans have been put back on
the shelf and war production sched

PULPWOOD SHORTAGE ACUTE
One of the most needed materials
right now is pulpwood. Vast con
voys loaded with all kinds of
supplies must go quickly to Mac
Arthur's men. All of this material
calls for double packaging to pro
tect it during the long ocean voyage
and under tropical jungle condi
tions. Military demands for pulp
wood are higher than ever before.
1ACK MocARTHUR
- While MacArthur and his men are,
fighting their way foot by foot
through the Philippines, you can
help them by cutting every cord of
pulpwood you possibly can. Don't
let their task be harder because
they lack ammunition, food or
medical supplies.

Evidence preaanted to the commlUea Indicates
that the clgaret ahottage probably will grow worse
instead of better until after Germany is defeated.
The situation Is this: The demand is rising rapidly. Production
Is sliding backward. The armed forcea which use about 30 per cent
of the production are boosting their buying In 1945. Civilians with
Inflated wartime Income are smoking more.
Clgaret production cannot go any higher because of a shortage

the problem of government control of tobacco acreage will have to
be tackled.

A CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE has just disclosed how Nazi
prisoners at Camp Grant. Dl., were frustrated In an attempt to burn
to death 42 anti-Nazis as they slept. Investigators for the House
Military Affairs committee said the Nazi prisoners intended to start

the camp canteen.
Their Intended victims Included Germans, Poles, Norwegians,
Danes and Czechs.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS join with the Amer
lean Bankers association in lauding the new "cash on the spot" re
demption plan for War Bonds.
In the Old days it took a month or so to cash ln a government
War Bond. Today you can take your E bond to a bank window ,
and in a few minutes walk out with the money the security is worth.
Although fears were expressed that the easy-cash-
in plan would result in wholesale redemption, the
ABA and the treasury big-wigs report that actually
it does not.
Instead, there Is evidence that bond owners are
content with the knowledge they can get their
money whenever they want it and are therefore more encouraged to
buy bonds with "emergency" funds they otherwise would keep In
savings or checking accounts.
W. Randolph Burgess, president of ABA, points out that bank
savings and checking accounts have worked for many years on the
principle of money available on demand and that there have been
few -examples of wholesale rushes for withdrawals.

A FEMINE CONGRESSWOMAN, Rep. Mary T. Norton (D) of

fore they will ever be taken' seriously."

We're staking this claim all over the U S.
"Look ahead . . . look South!"
For more than two years, we've said this on
millions of pages of advertising in magazines with
national circulation . . . and we're still at it.
We've; mad the suggestion to investors and
home-seekers . f '. to businessmen and captains of
industry., ito students, workers, housewives, tech
nicians. Especially, we've addressed our adver
tisements to those 'men and women who are today
thinking ahead and planning for tomorrow. To all
of them we've said: "The South is a great place
in which to work, to live, to build. Look ahead...
look South!"
Why do we do it? Because, it's another way in
which "the Southern Serves the South". .. helping
it to grow and prosper and march ahead to brighter
and better days for all.
