Both Roosevelt and Knoxhad publicly stated weeks ago “the shooting has already started.” - With a united Congress, hacked with, unity among all classes of our citizens, the President as commander-in-chief of the army and navy must act in accordance with the law of the land. Previous to our declaration this nation was engaged daily in ignoring our own laws as well as international laws, and at the same time being critical of what Germany and. Italy had done. Japan did not wait for a declaration of war but followed the precedent set by Hitler and out of the darkness of night was ready to fire on our ships much to our surprise and with a great loss of life and property. Thus we find this war just what other wars of the past have been—no parlor game. In plain words Sherman expressed it bestMff.ell, The situation this nation finds itself in today is just what has been claimed for it for months past-r-unprepared for just such attacks as were delivered by Japan. Under the celebrated “le&se-lend”..law we have stripped our navy to aid England. Many of-our prominent leaders realized this,. notably Sen. Wheeler, D., Sen. Walsh, D., Sen, Smith, D., Sen. Tidings, D., Sen. Byrd, D., without mentioning a score of Republican lead­ ers and Private Citizen, Charles Lindbergh. Much abuse was heaped upon the latter because he refused to purposely cover up or gloS3 over what he knew was untrue about the status of the navy as well as our airplane compliment. All the time these leaders were critical of the policy of the administration both Roosevelt qnd Knox were trying to tell the nation about our se­ curity, how invincible we were on water and in the air either at home or abroad. The favorite phrase was so many battle­ ships and airplanes, “on order.” The incident in the Pacific which cost us battleships and loss of life is proof that-“bpttle- ships on order” will not even expel with, force the school-boy paper-wad. We recite the above merely to keep the record straight for the future. Regardless of what has been done or what has not been,done in the past, this country stands today united for one purpose—defeat of our enemies and ultimate victory in the war, ever keeping inmind that we never will out­ law war either at the point of a gun or by legislation.'War is man made today just as it was in Bible times. The selfishness of man and the world is the ground-work for all wars either religious or economic. . ■. To win this war means all citizens must put their shoulder to the common- cause for defense with man-power along with money! All wars hav^ taken a great toll in- the loss of life among our young manhood and this war will take even more due to the modern implements created for that purpose. There will be unity in this common cause for victory just so long as the Administration in power treats all interests in fairness. If we are to have a continuance of legal grafting of the Charley West type, or the profit of war going to Wall Street, industry and labor, without agriculture getting a just share, there will, not be unity at home. The toll to be taken from our citizens both directly and indirectly in the form of taxes to pay for this war will keep our citizenship on the alert, No one can estimate the cost or what we will have to endure. Certainly it will he more than was ever dreamed of by the ayerage citizen. . . . We long age were convinced that the majority of our citizenship want “America kept for Americans.” We know they will not take less. Any policy other than this would lead to disunity and disaster at home. , , Until that time our national leaders will, have the support at home for a full and ultimate victory. CONGRESS MUST HOLD LABOR SITUATION IN HAND The House has passed a rigid law dealing with labor strikes And disorders in labor ranks, especially the fight for control between John L. Lewis and William Green. From ,all indica­ tions the Roosevelt administration is “on the spot.” It cannot ride double on this issue as has been done in the past. Labor leaders are demanding the Senate cut out the “teeth in the bill. Labor has its thumb on Roosevelt. He dares declare an ed a conference between labor leaders and certain industrial leaders,to agree on a plan for the duration of the war. This is but an underhanded method .of killing what the combination of House Democrats and Republicans did in passing the Smith bill. Labor .has its thumb on Rosevelt. He dares declare an open fight between the two labor factions. w m w w m m rtH H H tH im m H tttM M m m m M m H tM m ttiH ttttiiH iH M iintM iiiH m tm H tiiiim tiifim 'm iM M iiM 'tiiM iim im iim ; — DEMAND — “F & H ” M eat P rodu c ts — THEY ARE BETTER — F ink & Heine Co.

Field, multi-millionaire, sold seven million dollars worth o f stock in the famouB State Street Department Store to take a fling in a newspaper to boost Arrferi- ca in entering the European War- The Chicago Tribune, owned by the Mc­ Cormick estate, opposed this country entering the European war, so Field joined with Secretary' Frank Knox, a war monger, and publisher of the Chicago Evening News in starting the Chicago Sun, a morning Edition. I t is not everybody that can dig up seven million over night for any in­ vestment, The Department Store stock has not rated high ijn the financial market until the war boom hit the city. Fields “unloaded” on the .public to get funds for his new daily paper. He stilTWs heavy interests in the de­ partment store, inherited from his an­ cestors. At present until a plant can be installed the Sun js being publish­ ed in the News plant. . . ■ / • — — • ■ The Marshall Field Company carry­ ing a large advertisement in the daily issue of the Tribune on December 4th issues a . statement, making it clear that the company has no financial in­ terest in the Sun nor any part in forming policy on any subject. It also says Mr. Field never has had a part in the active .management of the store regardless of the fact he is a share­ holder and director of the Company The statement over the signature of the Marshall Field Compainy is un usual and has caused much comment in metropolitan newspaper circles where every move is being watched due to the fact few men have seven million dollars to invest in an enter­ prise to help promote this country taking part in the European war. Since the Chicago News has espoused war on the part of this company, its stock, largely held by employees under a trust agreement, has dropped to a low figure in the financial market. It did not take Governor John W. Bricker long to set the new mayor of Cleveland right on the surplus in the state treasury. Cleveland with other cities want to hog state funds because the voters in their respective cities have refused to give the officials more tax money to spend for political serv­ ices^ Gov. Bricker-stated: “The State surplus, does not belong to me, to you. or to Cleveland. I t belongs to the tax­ payers of this state aud it will be used for the benefit of all taxpayers who have paid the money in, It will not be spent, it cannot be, beyond the appro­ priations ctf the Legislature.’' The Democrats expect to use the “sur plus” as a campaign issue, which the Republicans welcome. Democrat poli­ ticians are just like the small boy and the “cookie jar.” It is hard to keep their hands out of the cash box.

She a t soma length held it a patriotic duty to have a son serving his country re­ gardless of the consequences. Natural­ ly she boasted that her son was on duty "somewhere in the Pacific,” a typical RooseVelt boast. Later we pick up an edition of the Chicago Tribune and find the picture of “Ensign John Roosevelt and wife” sitting a t a table in a Hollywood, Calif., night club "Ensign John" was but one of th* famous sons given high rank as a gift of his father, the Commander in Clue, of the American Army and Navy Each are drawing rich monthly sal aries with “sustenance” and living in- first class. hotels, not even sleeping with their^fellow Democratic draftees drawing $21 a month. Certainly the public will come to the same conclu­ sion of the Cincinnati lady that gave her expression that same evening when asked by a street radio news reporter what she thought of the at­ tack of Japan on this country. She replied; “I knew it, 1 knew it would happen just as sure as-Roosevelt was elected for a {bird term, to get this country in some war,” ersase in freight rates to cover $158,- ,000,two Of the $860,000,000 increased pay for railroad employees. Higher freight rates mean lower prices on hogs, cattle, wheat, corn, etc. The friend of the firmer is not In the White House, Mrs. Roosevelt topk the air Sunday night to “air her views on the best planned war' known in history." She had much to say as would be expect­ ed, especially as she has a job in the New Deal war program. She praised the South American republics for their generosity in shipping copper and other materials for war to this country. This evidently has not set well for the Dayton Journal in an editorial a t length gives a different picture on the .copper situation. The Journal says employees around the copper mines in northern Michigan are idle and on WPA or relief due to the fact the mines are closed. The Journal says the copper companies cannot operate on a fixed government price of 12c a pound on that metal, especially when union labor rates re ­ quire a fifteen cent price without tak­ ing into consideration a cent profit for the stockholders. That is the picture the Journal paints in reply to the T f i f i p "CURTIS" * fiRUEN"HENRIETTA” fllcA INCIU 0 I TA« f lA D I MAftR $ 24.75 Tiffany’s SOUTH DETROIT ST XENIA, OHIO is to receive further consideration. Farmers that swallow the AAA should look up some of the Sunday papers and read Claude Wickard’s statement thqt the farm program was io “profit the city folks most in low cost living:” The AAA as well as the ‘defense food program" were not or­ ganized and promoted for the farmer. The plan i s an abundant ‘market for the city folks at the expense of the farmer. An abundant market means lowprices. No war prices for the food :n the cities, otily war scale wages; war prices on farm machinery, cloth­ ing, everything, the farmer must pur­ chase, Corn a t $2 a bushel and wheat ut $3.50 with hogs at $23 a hundred as paid the farmer during the first World War are not to be permitted —that would be inflation in 1941-42. Tt may or may not be inflation but it* proves,-the farmer that follows the AAA is the 100 perceftt sucker on the New Deal line floundering in deep water. Those who 4” not realize it today and would rather have $10 hogs than $20 hogs or 15* a pound for chickens than 30c, will discover their plight, a t some distant date, when it will be too late to get in' on the “war gravy” with industry and labor.

S. to use her war bases if necessary. Ar­ gentina is one of the New Deal “neighbors” where Roosevelt and Hull have secured -beef, pork, butter and eggs to flood the American market to keep down the cost of living- by having an “abundant market." Mean­ time the New Deal pays the farmer for not producing wheat to uphold a base price. As prices begin to rise in this country the New Deal rushes huge shipments of food supplies from our “good neighbor" that announces she will remain "neutral." x — John L. Lewis wins the closed shop in coal mines -and makes no noise about it. Roosevelt as usual played a double roll, for. and against "closed shop." Held Lewis up to public scorn and then named a Communist to join with Lewis on a three-member board. Also informed both Lewis and Grefen. that he did not oppose closed shop. Roosevelt urged the Interstate .Com­ merce Board to give railroads an in« A week ago this column called at­ tention to the fact that after the Holidays the New.Deal expected to re- vamp the draft law and place ages frpm 18 to 44. Tuesday the Senate and House military committees ap­ proved a change that will permit send­ ing American boys to fight anywhere in the world the Dictator in Wash­ ington may cheese. All those now in service are to be "frozen in the army or navy” during the emergency and six months after. The War Depart­ ment made the request.

His explanation was that dive bombers from any aircraft carrier could do the same trick" with all men "on watch." Then came suggestions that the “court martial" should ap­ ply elsewhere, not stating just where but there were hints of the White. House and the- Army and Navy de­ partments. Those Roosevelt planes and battleships (several hundred on order) are not worth much In active service against any enemy,' Host of our other good ships are doing duty for England, Paul Mellon says the Japanese war will last three or four years alone, Roosevelt says we are in for a ten years War.
