Entered at the Foot Office, Cedarville, Ohio, October 81 ,1$8T, as second class matter^ Ftfday, February 21, 1941 SUBJECT FOR CONSERVAT ION ISTS When Senator Wheeler made his famous statement in con­ nection with the lease-lend bill that it would lead directly to war and result in “ plowing under every fourth American boy , his statement-brought out the wrath of the Roosevelt tribe with a line o f vindictive? such as never'had originated from the White House, at least publicly, A few days ago the Springfield News-Sun carried an article as to how concerned Clark county farmers were over prospect o f farm labor during the summer. In fact many farmers have already lost their farm hands by the draft or where needed soiis have been drafted in the Roosevelt army. Hundreds and hundreds o f laborers in the rural sections have taken jobs with Springfield manufacturers that have government contracts for war supplies of one kind or another, j The subject for the conservationists to consider first is to what extent the war hysteria is going to harm the American farmer. The question of truth or veracity of pre - campaign speeches has already been proven in as much as both o fDthe candidates o f the major political parties have taken a positidir today that brands their campaign utterances as lies, pure and simple and the public is about convinced the nation is being sold down the river for the benefit of big business that will take a few billions in profit that a Fifth Avenue play-boy can puddle in the blood of American youth. Senator Wheeler’s statement about plowing the boys under is on par with the Wil­ son campaign for re-election “ He kept us out of war” and in four months we were shipping boys to England a?nd France as so many cattle, thousands that could never.return, ' The war campaign is a gradual build-up of war profiteers to influence the Americn people that their pocketbooks can be plundered as was done twenty .years ago, and sorry to say even the farm interests are evidently being misrepresented, as ' we understand sentiment on this question. When the head of the American Farm Bureau Federation, an Alabama Democrat, turned New Dealer, openly espouses the lease-lend*bill as neces­ sary for national defense and gives his approval to the Com­ mander in Chief of the American Army, he is indirectly placing the farm interests behind the war movement. It is just another index that points to the war that Senator Wheeler was right in his statement other than he did not say where the boys would be plowed under. It he were to revise his statement he could truthfully say now that these American boys will be plowed under in the chalk hills around Dover; on the banks of the Thames River around London; in the wooded swamps of France and the desert sands of Africa. ___ _ What-we desirermost_to see and especially to hear about is some public statement from the paid iist_OfrNew Dealers in every county in the nation. The public has a perfect right to know how its paid agents in any or all departments of the Netv Deal administration stand on this issue. We know we cannot have war without great loss of life and property, whether it be at home or on England’s shores. . You farmers that have already given up your" sons and those who will do so later, if of draft age, certainly have a right to know whether your neighbors have a hand in the Wall Street, movement to place your sons in line that they may be one of the “ four-group” that will be plowed under in a -foreign J arir! for a war that only has one. purpose—profits to those who buy and sell war supplies ~fo~your rovermhent^at- the expense o f every American citizen. r . Senator. Wheeler and Charles Lindbergh spoke in behalf of the,American homes from whence must come the “ gun-fod­ der.” Both have been ridiculed and charged with being dis­ loyal but this comes only from the RooSevelt war mongers. .- ., . • „ • - .. ••-.«► • John T. Flynn, noted newspaper economist, who heads the “ America First Committee,” stated over the air a few nights a g o during a forum discussion, that England had a two hundred million dollar propaganda fund to sell her war to the American people. Hoiw much o f.this boodle money do you as a Greene county farmer, merchant or laborer expect to get? We have seen the New Deal plowing under crops, killing little pigs and slaughtering cattle, but neither of these can bring home the seriousness of the situation due wholly to the attitude of the* New Deal that is leading us purposely into the Eu­ ropean war. . ’ “ Plowing under sons in war only has its real meaning when it actually happens, and then when, whose son has been plowr ed under? An economist for the War Depart j»ent makes a- report that may settle.; the International Harvester strike- on j short notice with the government tak­ ing over the plant or if not the strik­ ers being given a vacation -without pay. The economist reports, there is nothing in the makeup o f farm mach-. inery but what is much needed in the making o f different war materiels. 'He says even materials fo r tractors is needed, for tanks and at this ,time there is a great shortage o f such metals for war materials. He says every plant manufacturing farm machinery could close down for a year or fee taken over by the government for war work. The government has al­ ready taken over one o f the .plants of the Mergenthaler Linotype Co,, Brook­ lyn, said to be one o f the finest pre­ cision plants in the world. All manu­ facture o f linotype parts have been re­ stricted and printing offices so noti­ fied. ■ / The manager o f a Columbus hotel is authority fo r the statement that the number o f traveling men on the, road was greatly reduced the first, o f the year. He holds the war has put many o f the road boys out for the present .especially concerns that handle goods of metal and steel. Most every concern using steel is behind oh both domestic and war orders due to two things, strikes and. the inability of steel mills to meet the demand for metals. The steel trade, looks for a government order soon.ordering a re­ striction on the manufacture o f non- essential metal goods that war orders can be filled. A concern making link woven wire fence is reported to Ije seven months behind schedule on gov­ ernment orders alone, and. has never had a strike. The plant is working seven days and seven nights a week. Most of the fence for government camp use is nine foot high .. A local subscriber drops_ us_a note calling attention that we- should emphasize the relative positions of both of the major political parties on this war Snd past wars. He says the Democrats are now joined to enter a war in behalf o f England when our ancestors had to fight and did win victory over the red-coated Tories. It was Southern Democracy that tried to follow English advice and divide the nation over the slavery question and Tagain: the-Democrata-were defeated. The Democrats next sold us the World War to save Democracy at a cost o f millions and thousands o f lives with & war debt unpaid. Now the. Demo- answer England’s call once more and every Democrat that can be hired is campaigning for a Second World War. The note calls, attention to the speeches over the radio and in con­ gress in behalf of the War Lords as being made by Democratic leaders oth­ er than a few Republicans that will draw down war profits or think they can fool the American people. This column might add 'from observation that Republican, supporters ' in the main were former Democrats or Re­ publican-Socialists like John Wiant who will be at home in England under Churchill, England’s Socialist leader. said so. To offspfc th« Chicago educa­ tor's speech Roosevelt appoints Presi­ dent Conant o f Harvard, the birth­ place o f American Communism, as/a special representative o f this country to visit England and make a scientific study o f war needs. Just why this "is necessary following th&.conversion o f Wendell Willkie to this cause and the report of Communist Hopkins, the public is at a loss to understand. « Farmers who are not acquainted with the new provisions in the income tax law hafi better investigate, and not wait until the deadline on March 15th, The changes in the law will require thousands of farmers to make out returns that, have never had .to do so before. We arfe now approaching the day.- when the general topic will be income taxes and returns. Changes in the law brought school teachers and public of­ ficials within the revenue producing group last year. The last changes in the law fix an extra tax on the tax you must pay. which is knofan as “ de­ fense ta i,” Labor will pay this year as never b.efore both married and single. ■ The Roosevelt!Economy League, a New Deal organization to, study the income tax situation as a basis for in­ creasing all income taxes next year to pay at least part o f the'Roosevelt- King George war debt. The league-- advocates dropping $2,500,000,000 that j is now spent on relief- and WPA.' It is considering with favor a special in- j come tax o f at least ten per cent with | no exemptions and this tax to be collected at the source, This means / all labor would have-a part o f its wages deducted by the employer each week as is done now under social se­ curity. The Economy League seeking fields for war revenue has canvassed fin­ ancial institutions,, and a suggestion • that each be forced to purchase gov­ ernment bonds. This would be reach­ ing indirectly into the pocket o f every depositor regardless of the kind of financial institution it majr be. This would lead to certain inflation but to J ffset“that the- League would have a— .commission to set the price of all com­ modities from the farm: as well as manufacturer. Price control leads also to wage control and rationing o f cer- ain staple food products as was done taring the war, with sugar, flour and mat. Adoption o f any or all of these proposals would be something new, •ven to those who give approval of Roosevelt spending our money to pay for Engine's war against Germany, MANY THANKS » Dear Editor:— • Let me congratulate- you on your editorial “ England Pays Canada” , It is hard to sift truth-from chaff in most daily papers. My greatest mis­ take since women voted, was when I first voted for Mr. Roosevelt, Ex­ tremely sorry ever since. The radip is for England’s war. We should not be, fo r jig business is for war, Hope you continue to stand for true American fathers and mothers. — A Mother. Wanted—Custom balling o f hay and straw.

Ohio JUST H O W DEEP IS OUR SYM P A TH Y FOR EUROPE? For months the public has been interested in the appeal o f Herbert Hoover for protectioirforJhe shipment of food sup­ plies to- the unfortunate people in France, Poland,, and a num­ ber of the smaller countries, that have been ravished by Hit­ ler and Stalin. Hoover claims hundreds of thousands of help­ less women and children are near starvation in those countries •according to a recent broadcast. England refuses to permit this food to be shipped to France on the ground Hitler will sieze it for Germany. Hoover replies Germany di4 not seize such food during the World War. The New Dealers in Washington have been only Iuke-warm on the subject and have made no effort to urge England to change its policy. Hoover contends that every pound of corn and wheat pro­ ducts, woolens and meats will be bought and paid for in this country, thus helping reduce what is claimed as a surplus. All he asks for is protection from all countries in shipping and this he has not received as yet. His radio appeal was to the Ameri­ can people to bring pressure on the New Deal for moral support. From every corner of the land and from every air lane comes the appeal for England. You seldom ever hear a public appeal for the millons of women and. children in the other countries in Europe. As far as these small nations are con­ cerned the reason Hitler attacked them was simply because England pushed them out in frpnt for her own protection and then failed to make good a promise. The situation with little Finland is desperate. Hitler had nothing to do with attack on that group o f people. England played the same role in promises and then failed to deliver and Russia ran rampant over the Country but at a terrible cost of life and property. Both England and the New Deal are on economic terms with Russia and just recently Washington threw down the bars to even sell war supplies to Russia. Yet the U. S. and England apparently have no sympathy for the unfortunate people in Fin­ land. The millions England is spending in this country' for pro­ paganda would help her owfl people even though it would be hard on New Deal politicians that are now in the golden har­ vest. Is ohr sympathy measured in dollars and cents? . George Washington’s birthday is ^it hand which finds the nation being forced to swallow the War Monger bill No. 1776 in contrast with the spirit o f 1776. -------- The situation Wendell Willkie finds himself after, his many campaign ut­ terances should make Charles Lind- berg fee1 that he has been vendicatcd following an attack from the Roose- velt-Britain smear-brush. It was point­ ed out following the Lindberg opposi­ tion to H. B, No. 1776 that he was inexperienced to pass on international affairs jregardless o f the fact be had traveled abroad many times and lived for several years' Tn England. Now that Mr, Willkie spent five actual days in England before being called back by Sec. of State Hull to testify be­ fore the Senate Foreign Affairs Com­ mittee, we find the former presidential candidate giving expert testimony and yet he had never before set foot on a foreign shore. It all reminds us of an incident of a local citizen following his first trip to Cincinnati and a walk across the suspension bridge into Ken­ tucky. On his return home he remark­ ed to a group o f friends that "he had “ been out o f the United States for the first time” .

She said we are reaching the time wfeen women must think of con­ serving and buy fewer aluminum pots and pans to save that metal for air­ planes. Also,' there would be fewer hats and clothes in another year. But her boldest stroke was' when she said we must do without the hew auto­ mobile, With two sons In bomb-proof jobs to escape the draft it certainly behooves what Kipling described as women to “ be seen and not heard”.
