' WORLD’S FIRST CHIEF OF F01JC 1 * idMD# have to listen longlo the Roosevelt world-wide ’t^f}j0L Saturday night to know his future aspirations. o'wtBrWsr teik pure and simple in which h# is fppe$d ly or somethin? just as ho advocated during the i^n&raer President Woodrow Wilson, wh$n the then yofmg AaMstait Secretary of the Havy was “put hack in Ms cpmer" and told to keep quiet, Meet ^ho World's first Chief of PeJfc&. • * The speech ’was typical Rooseveltian but we notice he made pd mention' of another promsie not to send American boys to fight ia Europe. Neither did he tell the World that two more sons had been placed in bomb proof jobs to joia James and Elliott "while thousands of hoys are forced tp:“Toue:h it" in army camps while the Roosevelt slackers, are housed in modem homes with’a retinue, of servants. One other feature npt*Mentioned was the reported 200 million dollar British campaign fund for selling the war to the American people. The public would appreciate it if Roosevelt would order the names of persons and organizations that have shared in the,fund, given publicity through the press. If all reports, are true more than one radio has been on the English payroll as well as a number of -daily papers and a horde of politicians, ministers, lecturers, congressmen and senators. The Ohio State.Journal reviews the Rooaevejt speech as follows: . . - “First it was cash and carry;. Then it became aid short of war. Next, lend-l^ase-give. Now it is “total effort" to. achieve "total victory". * : . .“Step by step, after the artful technique of the Npw>Deal, •, the United States has been thrust into another gigantic world war to restore the boundaries not only of .Europe but also of Asia. In his speech'Saturday night President Roosevelt finally admitted^veryfhing except the ultimate and last word namely, that eventually the young manhood of America is to be hurled against the battalions of der fuehrer, and the mikado. ’ "That is yet being kept a secret until our draft machinery ■gets into fuller swing, until our trailing camps can be built to capacity, until millions have been trained for the all-out stroke. It would be too much of a shojtk to take the American people'into that confidence at this time. The’war fever, as yet limited to Washington officialdom and New York's interna­ tional money interests, has not yet become nationally epidemic, and soldiers cannot fight well until the national heart and soul are behind them, as Mussolini has discovered. ” "OU r war itt Europe is tg be waged on the pretext of forc­ ing people to throw off dictatorships and govern themselves, though the continentals have historically proven themselves in­ capable of managing their own governmental affairs. In China this -pretext wOuld-not hold-because-Chiang-KahShekJs a_guth=. less'dictator?, and the Chinese people wouldn't know how to govern themsleves anyhow. So the reason for our war against Japan is to "resist the dismemberment” of China, as the Presi­ dent expressed it. ; “President Roosevelt spoke for the-first' time in his new role of world ,generalissimo, over a World-wide network, the , speech being translated into 14 languages. If is the role to >Vhich a majority of -the people of the' United States elected him. In'another few years .the United States will be an armed camp from which soldiers will be Shipped in all directions. The end cannot be foreseen. But we must all submit and do our part." - - '. - ' " F, TV SAYS FARMERS MUST WORK MORE; SACRIFICE Farmers on.the farm and laborers in the factory were told by Franklin D. Roosevelt last Saturday night in a broadcast they would have to work longer hours and make more sacri­ fices than in the past, that England.can win her war. There must not be profiteering and progress must not be held up by strikes nor obstruction by management. In general the public was told it must soon learn to do without some of the pleasures and so-called necessities of life. The tenor of the speech was more, on the. line of dictatorship, as from one who held! a club behind his back. .Business Was warnedrit must learn to do with less profits and take higher taxes, now and still higher taxes' later, all of which comes, in the end,, out of the consumer pocket. Congress is now working on the new tax measures to pay for pur part in England’s war. Some of the proposals under consideration is doubling present liquor and'tobacco taxes. A manufacturer's tax of five per cent on all goods manufactured, tax to be paid at the source arid collected by the retailer in sale price, • Increase of income taxes, normal, from four to eight per cent, arid exemptions to be reduced to $400 for single persons and $1;600 for married persons, all persons paying as much as $400. a year to any one for any purpose to be reported to the internal revenue department as is now required where the minimum is $800. 1 . The pay roli <tax is proposed at five per cent on all wages of $80 a week or more, the employer to deduct five percent or $1.50 weekly from the $80 pay as is done now under the social security tax law, this to be in addition to,the income tax for those who have no investments. It has been suggested that all. deductions for support of children or parents be dropped as this is required, by la)w in all,states, especially for children underage. .To help the farmer and laborer get in more hours in the day it is proposed to advance the clock one hour daily for eight months of the year under the daylight saving plan for the entire country: . How blessed were -the days of individual liberty for our forefathers under Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, McKinley? In tb* window* of a IsatHng cloth­ ing ittore in « neighboring city wert targe pine boxes from which were dis­ played a number of overcoat* made in England of the finest Australian wool." The price was In the moderate bracket for good merchandise and not un­ reasonable, This ia nothing ynusuaj for this kind o f merchandise has been iifold over the country for years. The >boxes showed receipts for import as cancelled and of course the importer had to pay. the tariff which by -the way is the same old tariff law that is supposed to have caused the depres­ sion previous to the enthronement of Franklin D. I t was .one of the-Issues of the first Roosevelt campaign. I t is still used to provide government in­ come even by the New Dealers on most everything 'except farm 'pro­ ducts. The "Good Neighbor Policy” is free trade on farm products. Seeing those, large pine shipping boxes were heavier than usual" and. about three by four feet with steel binding nrhde us think that the war in that country evidently had not stop­ ped the manufacture of clothing for export to the U, S. If England can ndnufacture clothing to pb sold here in competition with-American goods ,vhy then-should this country get so excited about the War? The New leal purchased miljions of pounds of English owned Australian wool that' had been stored here for safety rather .han purchase American grown wool 'or . Anu -'iean uniforms. Probably ' ,ome of the AAA salaried list would tike to explain to the American*wool growers, “Kow Come?” v A Cincinnati friend tells us" some ;f the experiences' of tlue Kentucky-, tobacco growers under the AAA and when out. from under the New.Deal ;5goose-step”.

' ' White, we are handing out some government figures on tobacco we have secured official figures as to how the AAA stands oa other farm crops now that farmers a& asked to vote themselves into regimentation on wheat and com. The Commodity Credit Corporation >aHof Jan, 3i* this year, has 286 million bushels of corn under loan and owns 200 million bush­ els; on wheat the ^corporation hai«r loans on 284 million bushels apd own 613,000 bushels; on cotton'tjie New* Dealers had loans on nearly five mil lion bales of cotton or two billion five hundred million pounds and-owns on*, right six million bales or three billici pourfds. Space does not permit re­ viewing the government ownership pf millions of bushels of barley, rye. peanuts, and.huge quantities of butter, prunes, raisins and sorghum. With the.New Deal importing millions o: pounds of meat monthly from South America and a million bushels of wheat monthly from Russia it is going to take more than regimentation of 'armers-ftt home to aid their status. <here is but one answer to insure the Profit side of the farming game ant •hat is rigid enforcement of a.pro- •ective tariff against foreign, imports Jons, Some of the country's younger farmers that haye been won over to the promised utopia might keep in-1 mind that the land they live on was cleared, homes and barns erected and paid fdr during the years the nation enjoyed a protective tariff for almost everything other than a few metals not found in this country..- Another point history proves'that no farmer ever paid for his land during years of a- panic, depression or whatever you.desire •to call it. There can be. little money in the family purse whether op the farm or ip the city when billions must go to your go'vern meant yearly to pay for .war.

We are told this was due to the fact that' England has always been the largest buyer of tobacco, but eqrly last fall England made a contract with Turkey to take her entire crop if she would stand against Hitler. Turkey accepted .the offer and American tobacco gi’owers now face the largest surplus. over known. This friend hands us some government figures on what conditions were nndcr the AAA -for tobacco growers. At the end of the AAA reign of tobacco control here is how Mr, Wallace had operated. Loans were outstanding on 40,557,000 lbs. with the price in the market lower than the per pound price loan. In addition Uncle Sam owned Outright 332,320,00 pounds and has not yet found a buyer. Most of the tobacco markets were closed weeks ago because farmers could not | over in Clark County when 79 farm­ ers were told about regimentation by the state head who is a union sup porter and boasted he had a paid up union card, tile question arose about surplus crops on each farm over what Washington says you cannot produce.

We have no re­ port on agencies in Dayton, Middle- town, Cleveland, Columbus and other industrial centers in the state. On the same basis and including the num­ ber of farm boys that have been draft­ ed the labor situation on the farm this summer will be a serious one. It will be. worse ns the years go on for farm bbya deferred this year must enter tho army after one year! In addition industry is losing thousands of young men for the army and thou­ sands of elderly farm hands will be attracted to the city due to the five And ten dollar wages being paid.

The sou,th has solved the AAA regi­ mentation of farmers and farm crops. A few years ago thorp was almost civil war in the south,when “croppers” dr tenants we~cairthem.in the .north went on the war path. Southern land lords did not cherish seeing crop pay­ ments going to croppers and southern landlords took all of it, if possible, Then' came a change in the law to protect both owner and cropper/ The southern landlord placed his interpre­ tation on that section of the New Deal law: He discouraged the cropper and operated the farm himself and took all crop payments, letting the govern- mentLaven. have his cotton cron at the loan price. I t was a good investment for the farmer. JT® only has to pay from fifty cents to one .dollar a day for days' employed on labor. On the land set off for government rental he puts in some’other crop which is harvested for feed. Before the AAA advent there was but one crop-—cot­ ton, and the southern farmer purchas­ ed feed that had been grown in the north. Now the south feeds its own live stock on the finest alfalfa, cotton seed and soy bean meal and corn. AU. of which is a good reason why north­ ern farmers should gi\e serious con­ sideration to that oft repeated warn­ ing "When in doubt—Vote No!” - al issues were repudiated by ‘the vot­ ers in that district. •The New Deal took a "Joe Louis” blow last week when a congressional election was held in tho New York 17th district to fill a vacancy in con­ gress. A longolist of big shots from Washington including labor lenders, took the Btump for the election of Dean Alfange, D., over Joseph C. Baldwin, K., but the electors by an overwhelming majority gave the office to the Republican. Roosevelt Issued h is. public blessing on Alfange and then Jim Farley, Sen. Meade and Cong. Bloom took the field but nation- There was a time when the name of Sen. Morris Sheppard, B.p, Texas, author of the once famous prohibition amendmentr >was a b-v-word in thou­ sands of. homes. Then Roosevelt^ rel­ egated the prohibition cause to the rear for the benefit of the brewers and.distillers and threw the nation on a* grand and glorious drunk. Shep- pherd had nothing to say and still id' mute on that issue. Any other stand would win him a “rap on.the bean” as the boys say, from .the White House. The Senator has nothing to say about moral conditions and bootleggers around army camps. To do otherwise he would be threatened with having army camps closed in Texas and mov­ ed elsewhere. Roosevelt, like Hitler, takes,no cxcuSe or does not permit an answer, to his diptates even from Democratic senators. Now Sen, Shep- pherd wants all boys between^ke ages of 18 and 21 in the Roosevelt army. Following the war he wants ail boys 21 years old in military training for one"year.
