WMauirtor f WrcapondMi Money Fw Fighting Men Provides Superior Weapon WU1 Aloo Shorten War The Secretary of War, Henry L. Stimson, says that the home front is "on the point of goto sour" just at ter the President warns the nation that "our most difficult military op erations are ahead of us." Mr. Stimson finds industrial unrest and a lack of a sense of patriotic responsibility which might "prolong the war and endanger our ultimate success." He, too, stresses that we are approaching the most critical and difficult period of the war. Yve do not believe that Mr. Stimson seeks to mislead or scare the people of the country. He probably has con fidence in the success of approach ing military efforts but, like intelli gent men, he is aware of the possi bility of surprises and setbacks. He hints of the likelihood of new enemy weapons which will change the method of combat and "require new weapons for ourselves." To insure prompt response to any appeal that comes from General Eisenhower it is essential that industry be on the ball, rearing to produce whatever S needed. The people of the nation should understand the serious nature of the proposed invasion of western Europe, which, despite the best planning and preparation, may turn out to be harder job than we think. There is wisdom in urging civilians to exert themselves to support fighting forces which are about to grapple the enemy at close and deadly range. We are inclined to beieve that the Germans will be unable to resist the full pressure of the United Nations. With the Russians waging courageous warfare, the battle in Italy under way, the Balkans threatened and the invasion coming, the Germans have enough ahead of them to engage everything they possess. This is a tremendous threat to the Nazis. Nobody knows how well they are prepared for the supreme test but the best way to make it im possible for them to withstand our blows is to be certain that they get the hardest licks we can hit. This is no time for a let-up in the prosecu tion of the war and anything like a rest will be of great value to the enemy. As President Roosevelt pointed out in his War Loan statement, the quickest way to victory, at the least cost in human life, requires that our troops have "overpowering superior ity in every kind of weapon and fighting equipment in t the air, on the sea, under the sea and on land." This, as everybody knows, requires money and much of it The task of the home front is to provide the casn. The present War Loan cam-H paign must be oversubscribed prompt ly, even if individuals have to strain their resources to make sure that cans have a sure fight ahead between the nation stands back of its fighting vigorous factions that cannot get to men. tether on any phase of foreign Of course, it is true, as some hard boiled brothers assert that, regard less of the outcome of the loan, our men will be supplied for the present campaign. Nevertheless, the time may come when financial stress will affect the promptness with which in dustry supplies the stuff of war. This possibility can be denied only so . long as the people support their government. Trouble In South America Is Likely To Continue Refusal of the United States to recognize the revolutionary govern ment of Bolivia, on the ground that it is linked with an effort to under mine the Allied war effort, indicates that the situation in South America bears watching. Once again there is a difference made between the "revolutionary junta" and the "freedom-loving peo ple" but this should not blind us to the fact that there is practically no democratic government in South America, and hence little or no effec tive rule of the people. ine importance ol our action is that it serves notice upon various factions, which exist in nearly all South American, countries, that they must be prepared to "play ball" with the United States, or else. This is justified by the exigencies of the present world situation and, in peace years, by the importance of promot ing the orderly development of self government. Despite the effort of our govern ment to treat all South. American nations as equals, andl democratic States, it is obvious that this prem ise is not supported by actual fact Consequently, it may become neces sary for the United States, in future years, to resort to pressure to main lain order and peace in the Western Hemisphere. This will be one of the duties that devolve upon this nation if we assert the right to control affairs on this side of the Atlantic. While it is a distasteful responsibility, there is no reason why it should not be accepted in common with other South Ameri can nations, under the authority of the Pan-American union. Violators Of Ceneorship Deserve Stinging Rebgk There is every : military reason to support the request of the Office of Censorship that the press and radio eliminate "backstairs gossip and hair line authenticity" in connection with the cominr assault upon western Europe. Admitting that the enemy knows the attack is coming from bases in the British Isles, Mr Byron Price, censorshin director, says we must keep the Germans from knowing the time and place of attack, the strength of the attacking force and its make up and equipment. This is a reasonable request from the government and military leaders. It is right for the American people to expect both press and radio to re frain from endangering the success of the offensive and the safety of our men. There will be newspapers and radio stations to disregard the request. Unfortunately, there are some men, both on the air and in the columns i of the press, ready to publish any thing for the sake of notoriety. They deserve the stinging rebuke of every loyal cftizen. Warns Of Idle Plants Warning the mayors of American cities that there will be some idle manufacturing plants in the near fu ture, Mr. Donald M. Nelson, chair man of the War Production Board, says that this will not mean that there can be any immediate relaxa tion of restrictions. Mr. Nelson knows that just as soon as a lactory Becomes iaie ror a day or so there will arise a demand for its facilities to be utilized to produce civilian goods. He also knows that the layoff may be tem porary and that the plant should be in reserve available for renewed war production at a moment's notice. To permit the reconversion of plants as quickly as they become idle will be a risk which the nation can not afford. Nobody knows when hos tilities will end and until they do, the full resources of the nation must be mobilized for war service. Both Parties Divided As 1944 Race Begins The Republican Party, is all set for a dog fight between the supporters of the Hon. Wendell L. Willkie and those who heartily detest him and strive with energy to pump up the candidacy of anybody to beat him. Just at the present time the stop Willkie brigade is whooping it up for Governor Dewey, of New York, with a company or two on the side shout ing loudly for General MacArthur. The bitterness between the party leaders and the Willkie contingent is pleasing to the Democrats who have something to worry about as they take note of dissatisfaction within their ranks. The political truth is that both of the major parties have serious inter nal divisions. It is hard to estimate which is the more disturbed. Be sides the Willkie fracas the Republi policy. The Democrats are divided, with ardent New Dealers finding them selves a bit shadowed, at present, by the conservative brotherhood. There is the undoubted drift toward inde pendent political action in the South and the sad fact that labor, farmers and minorities show signs of the wander-lust. Unfortunate Complaint Reported From Overseas Every once in a while somebody visits the war fronts and sends back the information that our soldiers are worried lest they return and discover that the home has been ruthlessly sabotaged during their absence. Recently, Rabbi Barnett R. Brick ner, of Cleveland, observed after a visit to the front in Italy, that "the men who are fighting our battles re sent the moral relaxation at home" and "are particularly upset by re ports of sex immorality." This may be true in isolated in stances but wa Tiavp tin iHpn. that niw' j appreciable percentage oi our sol- diers have such fears or worries. In fact, we have been impressed by re ports from various fighting zones, telling of the loyalty and faithfulness of American men to their families at home, especially in matter of morals. It may be assumed, we think, that there has been, and will be, some instances supporting the observation of Rabbi Brickner. Such exceptions are seen in years of peace as well as in times of war. Generally speaking, however, we feel sure that the over whelming majority of American wom en will be faithful and true to their fighting husbands. Certainly, it will be unfortunate if the public generally irets the idea. from front line reports, that men in: the service have lost faith in the women they left at home. It is not the truth, regardless of the undoubt ed existence of some men wlim tnr various reasons, have had such an experience.

MEMORIES Today brings back memories, Of two weeks ago and three, Of one so near and dear to us, God took him back from me. He was stitting with me by the fire- side, As we looked out at the snow, Remarks were exchanged between us, Of the present and the long ago. He often spoke of passing the road, That leads up to our door, With a load to keep him up all night, And maybe even more. But when he left that morning, The thought never entered our head, That the next message we'd get of him, Would tell us that he was dead. When the message came to, me, It almost took my breath. But we all have a game to play, j We musj play the game of death, But he's under the snow this morning, Covered up from head to toe, Under a Pall of Carnations, Which is under a blanket of snow. From my window I can see where he's lyjng, He's so near, and yet so far, He's been out there two weeks today, Nothing that memory can mar. When they committed his body to the earth, The words had an awful sound, I knew the next move to be made, Was placing it into the ground. When next I returned, to the grave side, To view the flowers galore, They had placed him . under the offerings, Of a score of friends or more. But he's under the snow this morning, How long to wait I do not know, Til I'll be out there beside him, Under a blanket of snow. Mrs. Charles Hurd. Flavor Important Safety, good keeping qualities, cleanliness, proper food value, and good flavor are most desirable in high, quality milk and milk products, says W.
