BROWN , Munfber o f Contras*, Beneath Ohio District Monday marked the first anniver­ sary of the treaoherdua Japanese at* daek on .Poarl Harbor which plunged the United States Into-the full fury “ of war On that historic first Sun­ day of December a year ago this country was not prepared for war. The nation*. suffered exceedingly « “heavy naval losses in the Pearl Har­ bor attack. Thus'far no definite de« . tailed-acrauntrag.haa.ever been given ' to the, people of the United States as to the extent of the Hawaiian de­ bacle, and those responsible for the failure to properly safeguard against the attack have not been brought to trial. During toe. early months of our first year at war things did not go well fpr the American cause, hut the turning point came at the ’Battle • “of “Midway in the early summer, and since that time, with the “exception of same temporary reverses in the Solomon Islands, our forces have been ,more than holding theirown,in,the Pacific. However, the fact should not be *overlooked that American forces have been fighting a bolding action in the Pacific area,.rather than an offensive one.. In all probabilty no general and sustained offensive *will come ip the Pacific until the Axis Powers tn Africa and Europe are defeated: I COURT NEWS DIVORCE SUITS Anna B.

Congressmen In Debate On Farm Dabor-Crop Control COIABQE NBW# f j “ y/t from from Jane ’ The' United. Nations cause in the - European theater of war has been meeting with great success in the past few weeks, .The driving of Rom­ mel out of Egypt^by the British was Quickly fallowed by the American in vaslop of North Africa, one of the most, remarkable and successful mil­ itary and naval'movements- of all times. ‘ The turning of the' .French, forces in Africa against the Axis Towers *has beCri a great help, It how appears likely that all of"Africa arid most of the/Mediterranean Sea will tooir .Ibis in complete control of . ' Italy fa already Wider heavy bombrirdment and faces invasfomby the Allied troops. Many ■ signs' indicate that Italy mayl soon' be out o f the war .and suing for teace. Some here expect the jMussolin. gov­ ernment to fall within a few weeks, but others -believe the Italian res­ istance may'not' break before April or May.1' From North Africa and the Mediterranean Germany itself is very Susceptible to attack, while the Brit­ ish, forces may make ah invasion at­ tempt across the Channel, or through Norway, at any time. The African development in November was the signal for the beginning of a- great Russian mounter’ offensive that has cost the Germans mrjny .thousands of men and much precious equipment. A sustained -Russian offensive may bring the defeat of the Hitler forces much quicker than many expect. Here at home American industry is performing unbelievable feats in pro­ duction of the, implements and mun­ itions of war. All in all the military picture' looks most encouraging for1 the United States and her Allies as -the second year pf .America at war begins. ' ■■■■, DISMISS CASES The case of C. A.

Warner, late ofReaVcrcteek Twp„ were authorized to transfer. real estate. The purely domestic picture is not so bright, however. The people of the United States are accepting the planned economy of the Roosevelt Administration with reluctance. There is general criticism,of the var­ ious rationing programs, and many citizens are not convinced that much Of the rationing is either necessary or wise. The attempts of the bu­ reaucrats to socialite and regiment the American people has brought re­ sentment that bodes no good for those reeonsihle therefor. There is a growing feeling that some in high governmental places are endeavoring to take advantage of the war emer­ gency to change the American gov­ ernment into some sort of a social­ istic state or dictatorship. The tre­ mendous growth in the national debt is a source of alarhi, and grandiose plans for the posii-War period now being outlined by the President and bis close associates are not pleasing to many thoughtful citizens. The brightest spot in the domestic scene springs from the action o f the people last month in the election of a new' Congress, The 78th Congress, which convenes On January 4th, next, wilt not be a rubber Stamp one. Already many conservative Democrats from the south are indicating their readin­ ess to join i)rith the Republican min­ ority in curbing the bureaucracy, waste, and *ritew*g#nee now per* tnraHf# the Federal government. r p*e* /<**>.

Northern farmers certainly will berinterestod. Mr. Summers, Dem., Texas com menls on •tbo food situation. lie points out the. administration is in terferipg with farmers and that crop# are not raised in Washington nor.can they I ks produced on paper* With the nation crying for milk the cows are on the way in the slaughtering houses. Even the farmers arc leav­ ing- the farm#, Simihar discussion# took place between Con. Face, Dem., Georgia, and Rankin, Depi-, Miss., and Con, Summers,' Dem., ,fPexas* Thb latter staled he. knew of a pur sonal acquaintance that had a son working in industry and made morn money each week than Ms father and mother, and the wife's sister, all of whom worked each day In the fields tending crops. Another neighbor had been selling milk, at ten cents a quart and Washington comes 1alang and freezes the .price. His cows: went to the slaughter, when the government would not give’ a higher rating' for delivered milk. Another " farmer moved his dairy herd to Elite county where the government set .nii!k*at 14e a quart. Con. Carlson, Kansas,, states that dairy farmers .in Kansas slupiped their, herds a 1,000 miles to get away from the low government rqte for milk, Mr. Summers take# the- floor again and says one year ago there were 137 retail dairies in Dalian county, now there are but 27 left. The coun­ ty agent Went' to Washington; to ap peal for higher prices hut the Depart­ ment pf Agriculture turned, himdown. That apme day three large dairy herd#, were sold. Mr, Hoffman, R.> Mich*., relates in his district farmer# asked for prove gasoline, so that' they' could deliver the .milk to stations. . He..took, the matter up with, the f.Ag-'Dept.' qiid dfter a long diday had to insist on.art answer, l|e" said a man named Wick, shire advised him (Hoffman) to tel) the farme/8, to hold the milk and I hite-A''Whetori« ftepte**-- should Imid the milk or the coW wftk to hold it, Mr- lfcrqikln—I flunk the gentle­ man will find' tins whole trouble is carrying hut a plan, that has been worked out, or is being worked out for » number of years by a man nn ed Mordcria Ezekiel in the de­ partment of agriculture, and until congress has (he courage to take back its powers and legislate on this prop­ osition, we., might, as well not talk about it. "r /, *• Mr. Johnson, III., stated “We lmd: the Secretary of Agriculture before our committee, We told him the farmers did' not want, to gq around witii a tin cup in their hands. ..All they wanted was a fair .price in the market jjliieo:1Ho< (Wickard) said: “You cannot do away with subsidies". We aglted him why, and -ho -saicU “Because -the Government (Now Deal) will lose control of the farms of America," Mr, Sumniors, people are awakening from having been duped by borrowed money got by mort­ gaging (lie taxpaying power of their children and their children’s children. .God Almighty hast intended that people shall ho free to run their own government, In the goodness of God Almighty he lias put it somewhere In the nature of people, a sort of instinct, tlmt seems to warn them whhn they are in danger of loosing thgir ability to govern, to, get down and dtand on their own feet and exercise their capacity to govern be­ fore they lose it by nonuse.
