Lease- Lend Law by Congress carried with it a mandate to deliver goods Ao be given away, loaned or leased, under that law. However, the opposition is point­ ing, out that, at Hie time the Lease- Lend Law was before .Congress,-Ad- inistration leaders solemnly promised and pleged both the Congress and the peopled that the passage o f ^the .meas­ ure would not'result in American con­ voys or in sending American merchant f ships into hostile waters. As this is written,, details have not yet been received regarding the des­ troyer Kearney, tragedy, in which eleven American saifprs are reported •to have lost .their lives. For some reason or other the Navy Department has been reluctant to release full and definite information on the Kearney incident which has resulted in edging the United States very close to the brink o f war. With American naval vessels scouring the'seas in their hunt fo r German submarines and other Axis war craft, and with the arming o f American •owned merchant ships sailing under the flags o f other coun­ tries, many more such inciepdts may be expected. From present indications i t seems to be only a matter o f time until the United States is involved in fu ll naval warfare.

A ll threats to the safety o f the United States, to the liberties o f its •people and to American free institu­ tions, do not come from without our . borders. That free and representative government, as we have known it here in America, can be enaageted from within has again been, called to the attention o f the people by the recent action o f the famous Dies Committee in Certifying to the Attorney General, fo r investigation and prosecution, the .names o f 1124 employees o f the Fed­ eral Government, many o f them oc­ cupying high places, who arc Com­ munists or belong to other subversive groups advocating the overthrow o f our government. Strange as it may seem, the Department o f Agriculture gives sanctuary to 207 o f the govern­ ment employees named by Chairman Dies as being active in un-American organizations. Many months ago the Congress made available to the. A t ­ torney General a fund o f one hundred thousand dollars to be expended in in­ vestigating, and eliminating from public service, those engaged in sub­ versive activities against the govern­ ment that pays them. Thus fa r, to the best knowledge o f those serving in Congress, no action has been taken by the Attorney General toward cleans­ ing the Feeral departments o f such appointees and employees. Chairmart Dies now states that i f the Attorney General fails to act upoh the informa­ tion his Committee has certified to him, he will make public the full re­ port and insist uponi Congressional action. “ During the past weeks there has been considerable clamor in Washing­ ton, and from the editorial pages o f large city newspapers, that something be dOiie to hold down farm prices. While farm leaders readily admit that those tilling the soil ate receiving better prices fo r their products than a t any time during the psfet few years* they also contend they are not receiving undue or excc sive return* o * their investments, o r as eompensa- .

Wilson, Xenia, We are informed a new plan has been proposed to get the farm labor ander government control so fa r as social security taxes are concerned for unemployment insurance and old age pensions. Knowing that it will take some' time to get farm labor under one rate other than congressional legisla­ tive action, .it has-been proposed as a temporary measure that ail farm­ ers be compelled to pay the tax to the government without deductions from the pay o f labor. It is suggested the tax be five per cent for old age pen­ sions and seven per cent fo r unem­ ployment insurance. This would make the rate 12 per cent, about what it is expected to be when present increases on all other lines o f business are put into effect next y e a r .4 I f the farmer paid out $18 for » week’s labor he would be compelled to send a check to Uncle Sam for $2.16. In other-words the week’s labor will cost the farmer $20.16 in actual money. Under the latest plan fo r placing farm labor' under social security the iaborcrnsrould have nothing deducted from his pay until, a higher scale o f wages comes about through union or­ ganization o f this class o f labor,. With .higher pay it is expected the same de­ ductions or less will be taken from the pay check-as contributed by the em­ ployers. jit is certain ‘some sort o f legislation'will be enacted under or­ ders from the White House.

Charges Attempt I - To Sway Farmers WASH INGTON — Representative Gehrmann, Wisconsin Progressive, charges that the Agriculture Depart­ ment would begin a nation-wide drive to win farm support fo r “ the war.” - % . Mr; Gehrmann said he had been in­ formed that the department would <use its soil conservation and marketing quota enforcement agents in 3,000 counties to urge farmers to sign a pledge containing an oath o f loyalty to the United States, an agreement to produce whatever the government wants and to accept the government- offered price. The agents will receive $5 a day, their pay when engaged in ordinary government business, he said, and they w ill contact farmers who have received government loans and soil conservation payments. Mr. Gehrmann attack; “ just another move ers to back the wa; “ This loyalty pledge 'W u ld be an insult to the American farmer* It's just an insinuation that they aren’t loyal. But that’s not the real pur­ pose o f it. ' The real purpose is to have the farmers promise to produce without complaining about the price­ fixing tactics o f the Department o f Agriculture. They were going to. try to spring it on the country unexpect­ edly and have it spread before any­ body woke up.” mm KtlOXT*rm 4 »<J|VttMNHrtNalt A v t e t a m t f c JH lW tten te HiMtHimnnin)i)mMmminwiii^» iHmi>iiiMiiiiwiwinHii’ e move as the farm- AGED CH INAMAN DEN IED ’ LEN IENCY B Y JuWsE .

Now that Col. >Fr*nk Knox, Secre­ tary o f the Navy, is one o f the Wall Street war mongers, and serving un­ der what he once termed “ an aristo­ cratic dilettante.” | The Knox appraisal o f Roosevelt tnay be found on pages 14,224 and 14,225 o f the Congressional Record o f July 10, 1940, issuejjl and published by the government m d edited under control o f the N ew Deal congress. “ Mr. Roosevelt is x -strange figure on the American 'Scene, He has squandered the savings and the future earnings o f not merely a part o f our people—but a ll our people. ,He lias broken practically eyfry pledge he has ever made to the penile. . . . He has weakened the insurance companies with their 60,000,000 jpolicy holders. “He is eusing th«| social-security funds for the daily running expenses o f his admmistratiQniand as security for the appropriated Jjavings, is drop­ ping I.

For at the root o f his philo­ sophy lies the view, shared alike by Communists and Facials, that condi­ tions have suddenly changed funda­ mentally, and that, in consequence, in­ dividual liberty under democracy, as hitherto practiced in this country, is no longer either desirable or feasiblp. “ Many people are confused about Mr. Roosevelt because his tactics are confusing, and are meant to be con­ fusing. He knows very well where he is going. I t is toward a kind o f co­ ercive collectivism— call it socialism or national socialism, or what you will. “ But as a matter o f tactics he will not avow his aim. And to reach it he is ready to nod, smile, agree assert; evade, deny, distort, distract, dally, re­ treat, startle, dazzle, juggle, sidestep, and circumvent. Oar leader, incidentally is a show­ man. He likes to astonish. He likes to keep people guessing. He has a taste fo r the novel, the dramatic, the grandiose. He is strongly attracted by such vast notions as harnessing the tides at Fassamaquoddy, planting a thousand-mile wide belt o f trees in the windswept western praries, digging a gigantic ship canal across Florida.” Editorial Note—This person who Go]. Knox describes in the Con­ gressional Record on Rages 14,« 224 and 14,256 as one ready to nod, smile, agree, assert, evade, deny, distort, distract, dally, re­ treat, startle, dazzle, juggle, side­ step and circumvent is the New.

William A, Hammond o f the Drier- ite Co.,- Yellow Springs, spoke o f the work .of the Farm Chemurgic Coun­ cil, o f which he is a member, in ad­ vancing the industrial use o f farm products through applied science. He told in an interesting manner the work o f the chemist in developing the many industrial uses o f such crops as -soybeans, corn, flax, and hemp, sweet potatoes, milk, oat hulls, , corn cobs and corn stalks. He said.that while industry spends 2 per cent o f its total gross income fo r research, agriculture spends only one-seventh o f 1 per cent, o f which the majority is carried on by the. government. Mr. Hammond spoke o f the.work o f William J. Hale, a former Xenia, man, in this field, saying that it was Mr. Hale who coined the word chemurgy. Mr,. Hale, who is at .the5 present vice president o f the Dow Chemical Co., was one o f the original; committees, along with Francis P. Garvan and Henry Ford, that or-, ganized the Farm Chemurgic Council.

Twenty More Phones Than Last Year The Ohio Bell Telephone Company has jqst passed the .900,000 mark in the numller o f telephones that it oper­ ates in the state after an uninterrupt­ ed series o f gams during the past 16 months. A new high in the company’s total telephones has been established every week since-July 17, 1940, according to F. A, Kasdorf, Ohio Bell commercial manager. Increases since the start o f this year have been the sharpest in the company's history, totaling 74,571 in­ struments fo r the first 42 weeks o f 1941, against 61,763 in all o f 1940 and ' 69,114 ill 1937, previously the peak year o f the last decade. - “ The manner in which the ’national defense program has stepped up ac tivities o f business and industry in general has been the major factor in causrng the unprecedented demand for new telephones and additional tele­ phone service that we are experienc­ ing,” said Manager Kasdorf. “ Cedarville has contributed its share o f this gain. Since the first o f this year, Cedarville has experietieec a gain o f 20 telephones. In 1940 there was a net loss o f 5.” MERCURY H IT 28 DEGREES The first killing frOst with ice hit this section Tuesday night when the mercury dropped to 28 egrees.
