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."

Yet let a parade pass by tnd they will be the first to wave a flag and hide behind its irlorious folds. 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?

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 ules speeded up. 4 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 of Jeaf tobacco. And, anally. In order to produce more leaf tobacco, the problem of government control of tobacco acreage will have to be tackled. a A CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE has just disclosed how Nazi prisoners at Camp Grant.

Investigators for the House Military Affairs committee said the Nazi prisoners intended to start the are with the aid of clgaret lighter fluid they liad procured at 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. i A FEMINE CONGRESSWOMAN, Rep. Mary T. Norton (D) of New Jersey, advocates that American women go on the war path until it Is agreed that a feminine representative will sit at the peace-table.
