Regardless of what anyone says the rubber situation was just as critical thirty or sixty days before Pearl Harbor fell into the hands o f the Japs. Those in government authority never mention anything about rubber before that date. That the Japs did get a large amount o f crude rubber there is no question, estimated at some 850*000' tons. Much o f the two year supply had been laying at various ports awaiting shipment months before December 7th last, Pew there are that will discuss the actual rubber short­ age and the why o f it A few questions can be asked: “ Why did the administration make a trade agreement with England and her rubber trust that no American rubber could be shipped ■ until all the English commercial rubber had been sold? Why did the administration have an agreement or permit such that the Pacific crude rubber must be shipped to this country only in British owned boats? Why could the rubber not have been shipped to American processors to our Pacific ports in American boats? It would be interesting to have New Deal sup­ porters to enlighten the public on these questions. The reason is obvious to every lay readier that much is being said and done today is to cover up the actual situation and keep the public mind off the real facts as to what caused the rubber shortage. That we have a serious rubber situation today no one can deny. It has been, up to the public to turn in all the old rubber possible that we have something for the future while the New. Deal politicians argue and connive as ,rto what kind o f synthetic rubber must be made and what fin­ ancial interest will control it. -The average automobile owner has a great stake in the rubber situation. No transportation such as the nation has b peri geared to can be changed without manufacturer and retailer o f everyday needs suffering a great loss in the volume of busi- ness. The consumer by the millions will be faced with walk­ ing.* The farmer residing five miles from, town-away from a bus route is just that many walking steps for reaching the nearest town to purchase the daily needs for his family. The church and the school will suffer alike.“ The public now ques­ tions the sincerity o f government authorities on admitting the responsibility of the rubber shortage and the method o f pro viding even synthetic rubber. The public is disgusted. OHIO FARM BUREA BETRAYS OHIO FARMERS The long controversy in Congress over the sale o f govern­ ment owned wheat below parity, which is for no'other purpose than to depress the wheat market, to’ keep down the cost of living at theexpense o f the Am erican farmer, came partially to a head a few days ago when Congress passed a temporary measure to give the Agricultural "Department the meager sum o f $56,000,000 to pay the salaries of some 85,000 New Dealers on the department and AAA payrolls for the month of July . only, Ohio farmers were thunderstruck last week when they read newspaper accounts that Murray D. Lincoln, secretary o f the Ohio Farm Bureau, had joined in with Wm. Green, head i o f the American Federation o f Labor and Fhillip Murray, head o f tfie CIO* urging Roosevelt to force legislation to permit the sale o f government owned wheat below so-called parity to sat­ isfy radical labor leaders and the socialist and communistic element in the populated cities. The Ohio and National Grange* along with President O’Neal, American Farm Bureau Federa­ tion, fought the proposal and have been campaigning against it to uphold the price of wheat to farmers. With O’Neal an Alabama Democrat opposing-the plan to depress wheat prices to farmers, Greene county members o f ' the Farm Bureau are at a quandary to know on what ground Lincoln could represent Ohio farmers as no referendum or ■even.poll of local officials had ever been taken on the question. W e have interviewed some twenty farmers on this issue, many o f them members o f the Greene County Bureau, and n ot a single one approves the Lincoln idea. The president o f the Ohio Farm Bureau is Petty L. Green, who served as head o f the Ohio Department 0f Agriculture under appointment o f for­ mer Governor Cooper. Farmers are interested in knowing his position or whether he is secretly hacking Lincoln and the New Deal communistic plan to make a goat out of the American wheat producer. „ ‘The White House writes Secretary Lincoln a complimen­ tary letter for his'attitude in standing by the New Deal method o f depressing wheat prices along with labor union leaders. Could it he possible that Mr, Lincoln is bidding for some eight or ten thousand dollar job as a reward for turning down his Ohio farmer friends? Mr, O'Neal gives his reasons why he opposed the plan. Mr. Lincoln has not given in detail why lower wheat prices to farmers are necessary. Where does Mr, Green stand on the issue with his secretary being quoted as representing Ohio farmers on an issue they have not even been consulted about? W H A T SOCIALIZATION. MEANS There can be no doubt but that many of the aggressive pro ponents of socialization o f the electric industry are looking for­ ward to the day when similar treatment can be applied to other enterprises in this country. I f one man’s business is destroyed the way is smoothly paved fo r destroying other Men’s business. Socialist leadens themselves have pointed to that fact. For example, Eugene V. Debs once said: “ I am solid for government ownership because it is the first road to Socialism. I am for state and municiple ownership because it is an easy way to get what we want.” And Norman Thomas, the ablest living Social­ ist, has said; “ To begin with, the Socialists seek first the key industries.” * I f the American people ,want Socialism they are entitled to have it, But let the American people thoroughly realize what Socialism involves, It means the complete and unquestion­ ed control by politicians over the nation’s instruments of pro­ duction, to the exclusion o f private enterprise. It means that all would work for the government, and that all men's jobs would be at the mercy o f the officials in power. It means the absolute elimination o f State's Rights and local control and regulation o f local resources. Don’t think that Socialism here would be basically different from Socialism in Europe, So far as the war effort is concerned, socilization of the power industry would in all liklihood decrease power output. As a writer to the Spokane, Washington, Spokesman-Review points out, “ Political control is efficient only in placing inex­ perienced and unqualified persons in positions where experi­ ence and qualification* are essential. Political management will not increase our power or war production.” Will we permit free enterprise to be destroyed at home .while we fight against its enemies abroad? The future o f the nation is at stake from within as well as without, There nr* about as many different atari** in retard to auger rationing aa thara ara persons to rapaat them, <Ehi« week wa had a talk with Hobart Johnson o f the Findlay, O., sugar beet territory baiag a farmer and having raised sugar beets fo r year*. In quea- tionfog him about the situation ha fears the best crop may not be as large as expected due to a shortage o f labor. He say* many beet grow­ er* quaetion the truth o f much o f the sugar shortage as reported from Washington. "With -several million ton* o f sugar right at our door ready to be unloaded .and an unusually.large crop this year in the south, he won­ ders what will happen to the price when the beet crop gees onto the mar­ ket this fa ll. He thinks the rationing plan must be abandoned so the people can store their own sugar this winter. If not much o f the beet crop will he lost to the farmers. s A salesman fo r an Akron rubber concern says the government put the request fo r junk rubber so high }n ton* that there never has been a time when that amount could have been gathered. He is o f the opinion that the nation has done wonders in the present collection. While much o f the rubber collected never could he used for auto .tires it has other uses and wilt relieve the new rubber 'market to some extent. When asked about the use o f rubber mats from automo­ bile car* he .stated such were made from the cheapest kind o f old rubber and could not be used other than to make more door mats or floor mats for automobiles. It makes.no different the purpose o f the campaign to gather old -rubber. It. might just as well be put to some good use, There is no doubt thousands of "old auto casings” could he junked that are. now being held for use i f it were.possible for the owner* to get new ones. Last week we took a peep into a government owned automobile, me o f the three highest price cars on the market, while it was parked in front o f the leading hotel in Colum­ bus. We noticed the rubber mat- was .till being used while others had been usked to give up theirs. The New Deal night aid in some o f these campaign^ ■>y setting an example, not staging n grandstand play as put on by See. Ickes, (ants in his pants) did last week when he carried away the White House rubber door mat for the benefit of the. news reel picture people. The mat was probably back in place thirty minutes after the “ fool the public*1 ?tunt was pulled. warn WANT AND SALE ADS PAY Donald (not the duck) Nelson, fo r­ mer head o f Sears-RoCbuck & CO,, ad­ mitted before a congressional com­ mittee Monday that1he had made mistake. This is the first New Deal admission that will go down in his­ tory. Heretofore mistakes have never happened. Everybody connected with the New Deal was always right whether on issues coneering economics or the war. Donald was toying to explain to Sen. Gillette D., Iowa, why he Was not doing something about making synthetic rubber out o f grain instead o f doing everything fo r the oil intertsts, A fter regaining com­ posure Donald admitted that prob­ ably he had made a mistake in not investigating more the wheat plan fo r synthetic rubber. He promised more action ip the future. He did not. say how the White House stood on using grain over the qil method or why Jesse Jones as a New Deal cabinet member favored oily only. It was an excellent opportunity for the Senate Committee to have asked Donald What he knew about the report in circula­ tion that his former company had slipped down to South America and purchased all the season crop o f rub­ ber while the New Dealers quibbled over a plan to make synthetic rubber. Russia and Germany have been con­ ducting their war on synthetic rub­ ber, not having any other kind. *a*ia*t w a r ft* AM* mm in t i* a m - flirvitt to utoft* Ifc ii nous #tJmr ttom towtowy it fhuto SrwuMwnf* Whast Gw OM* dbattow law* {Belwttnf ahaswtoa v e titg ware passed .tittle thought waa gtosa then to men in the aerriaa vwttag.

It is not likely they could get. ballots if across the The New Deal has never made any provision fo r men in the service vot­ ing, Democratic politicians in Wash-' ington fear a negative vote if the first men, National Guardsmen had a chance, because o f their terms be­ ing extended beyond a promise o f one year only. From all reports wo get ‘from the 37th division boys that laid In mud In gqfcthern swamps while at training, few would find a choice o f any candidate on the Democratic ticket. It is fo r this reason the New Deal will not lend a hand to absentee voting among service men, Every service man should have the right to vote wherever he is. I f he does not get to exercise that right while in the service he will do a good job when he gets home. From press reports it looks like most o f the Ohio county fairs will operate this year as usual—unless Roosevelt orders the commandeering o f all rubber tires from individuals as hinted Tuesday. The public has its views about the war situation, the rubber situation, gasoline rationing. Indiana has given the green signal to a ll county fairs in that state to open for. the summer and fa ll events. Some time ago the public was told that the war department had taken over the Indiana State Fair Grounds at an an­ nual rental o f $35,000 a year. Last week a big.rodeo show held the boards there attracting thousands for miles around. Who believes that such events tend to save gasoline or rubber? With spark'plugs going out o f pro­ motion and no auto repair parts with­ out trading in the old part, it is not toing to he a matter o f getting either rasoline or oil. It looks like everyone '■s to get to do the New Deal "stout” m<l put his pedal; extremities to work, 4nd all this in the face o f an over- \upply o f gasoline all through the ’entral part o f ninety per cent o f the ration. The restrictions on gasoline on the west coast are to be lifted won. Congress should haul Leon Hcn- lerson before a public committee and nake him admit before the public that he gave members o f congress to understand before the Eastern gaso- 'ine ration they were not to be in- luded and to get "X ” cards. The Miblic now understands the position of congressmen ju st as it does about congressional pensions, the latter to be a cover rider to cover up the presi- lential pension o f $35,000 yearly fo r 'toosevelt, I t would be interesting to have Democratic papers discourse on {he Roosevelt pension idea. The suggestion we may yet see Uncle Sam grabbing the old half- worn auto casings would be an event worth toying out* It will take just such an event to test public senti­ ment. Let1* have it now, not wait un­ til some time in dead winter after the November election. Democratic can­ didates fo r governor, congress, even county'offices will have plenty to ex­ plain to the voters. We want to hear i Democratic congressional candidate defending, gasoline, tire and sugar ra­ tioning and then urging from the ilatform that everybody should Walk and not ride as it Would greatly bene­ fit their health.. We want every can­ didate defending the New Deal to ex­ plain why synthetic rubber should not be made from government owned surplus wheat.
