FRIDAY, DECEMBER 81, 1943 OUR NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS ARE PREDICTIONS Departing from the staid old type of New Year Resolutions we will this time make certain predictions with comment on the home front as well as, the battle front, * First we predict the American citizen will not have the true picture of world news under the New Deal censorship that for­ ces "all news reporting agencies to accept prepared copy in or “mimo” propaganda from the New Deal view point. The past year has been one embarrasing to the American reporter who has been trained under the rules of the profession to give an accurate u.ncolored news story of any and all events. Today the metropolitan press world reporters must submit their news stories for “ censorship” . English, German and Italian papers -give world news in advance of what is allowed to appear in this country. Your attention is called to the Cairo conference am the Gen. George Patton escapade. The war will not be won on either side of this.contenant in 1944, Germany may collapse as she did twenty-five years ago but it was months and months before,the American boys were permitted to start home. This time your son will be doing mil itarv police duty all over the world or such parts as Churchil will*have need for, him. In fact we predict, so far as military service is concerned we never expect to see our .troups in their entirety returned home as long as Franklin D. Roosevelt is.pres- dent of the United States and Winston Churchill is Britain’s Prime Minister. In the Pacific Gen. MacArthur’s progress in winning over Japan depends on how much backing Franklin D. Roosevelt ant Churchill wants him to have. Churchill has i no feeling for China in her war with Japan because the British years ago took by conquest some of China’s richest territory and only during the Cairo conference refused to consider a request that the ter­ ritory be returned to the mother country. We predict before the war in the Pacific is over, with Roosevelt in the White .House we will be fighting both China and Japan as part pf the British program of spreading “ democracy” around the world, for the British,-___ On the Home Front we predict the ten year old boys of to­ day will be wearing an army uhform both in High School and College, a student compelled by dictatorial orders to take mili ­ tary training under the “ Commander-In-Chief. You cannot have a Churchill-Roosevelt brand o f peace other than one backed by military power. Also, we predict Roosevelt ' if elected lor a fourth or even fifth term will never return this nation to a peace time status and would even go so far as to use the army to hold i in obeyance any mandatory law that might be passed by Con­ gress in order that he could continue to use war-time powers, in Hitler dictatorial fashion to hold ithe people of the nation as his subjects. ° - We have, interviewed many of the boys from home Iron camps as well asboys.from the fronts across the great expanse of water on both sides of this nation. There is common agree­ ment the army is rotten with graft and .New -Deal politics ever, to handing out Roosevelt campaign buttons in Africa, Italy .and American camps on English soil. We predict that Roosevelt cannot get a favorable vote for re-election from the boys iv the service. They can vote.but who is to count the vote? Who is to be responsible for a fair election and count? The fight in Congress today is not wanting the boys'to vote but who is to safe-guard that vote? Certainly not the army! The New Deal plan for soldier voting is patterned after the rotten New York- plan used by Tammany Hall. If you think your son’s vote would be safe in such hands, well and good. Our prediction is. that it would not be. ' deprive the chosen agencies of the Government pf any final au­ thority over the. unions whenever the unions choose to defy them. And it will make it impossible to hold the previously established wage, and price ceilings. / “ What ought the procedure of the President to be in the present crisis? What has already been done has established an atmosphere and a situation which would probably now make it impossible for the President to insist that rail unions abide eithr er by the rulings already made by the Stabilization Director or by the emergency boards. This need not mean, however, an abandonment of all control. The first principle to be adhered to is that no settlement of the railroad grave controversy should be made that cannot be safely_applied to other labor groups as welL The President should make clear his intention to treat railway labor no better and no worse than other labor. He should recommend the suspension for the duration of the war of any provisions in the Railway Labor Act that interfere with this aim. The best way out of this present, dilemma is probably a revision of the “ Little Steel” formula, which, while it remover its ambiguities and loopholes, would also remove the arbitrary restriction which forbids hourly earnings to rise to the sameex- tent as living costs, • “ Once a reasonable -proposal of this sort has been made’ however, there should be jio further compromise with strike threats. Soon or late union members must be taught that it does not pay to defy the Government and to hold-a pistol to the hea‘d of the American people in wartime/’ , Mont, tikM ilia outfit to teak for an­ nouncing that we are to push.78 p fr cent o f our beat young blood into the River Rhine blood stream while dear old Winston's British will be snoozing across the channel. Couple 73 per cent o f the manpower and our 90 per cent o f the money value of equipment used by the allies, makes the English­ man’s idea o f “ fifty-fifty” under the Roosevelt New Deal or the Roosevelt “ Win the War With Frankie.” We can visualize thp idea of the “fifty-fifty” when Greene county parents have hoys in the “ blood and guts” divisions. The part the boys will play in heroism will out-weigh any claim made by the New Deal slackers parked in warm offices in Washington.

HOLDING INFLATION LINE PURE POLITICAL BUNK , ’VV’hile the patriotic flag has. been waved overtime in the face of the American farmer, merely to deceiye, it must be ap­ parent to all that the simon pure role of “ sucker” has been cut out for the Rural Resident who has worked sixteen hours a day and has been compelled to take purposely fixed low prices on all he has to sell; to satisfy the demands of organized labor.. If the railroad strike situation is not an eye-opener to Mr. Farmer there is nothing that will cause him to think for himself and not follow the aggregation of New Deal liars. The farmer,must be convinced that.he must play second fid­ dle in the New Deal to appease organized labor. The old scare ~crow~of “ inf1ation” is applied whenever.the farm income dol­ lar is at stake but the organized wage dollar, as little as is re-, turned for it in material things, never can be accounted as a factor in bringing about inflation.„ In the rail strike situation Roosevelt played one group of labor leaders against another group, promising one an increase in wages to break the strike,' • 'yet the war labor board, a dummy Roosevlet group picked to fool the public* had some days ago issued a denial of wage in* crease because it would not be holding to the “ Little Steel” foi'- mula. In time organized labor will see through the deception, just as-the farmer will awake,--The latter is now hog-tied on prices—-necessary he is told t( stave off inflation. Day after day wage, increases are granted that are" never made public. It was Harry Hopkins who said the American people were “ Too — dumb to understand the New Deal,” The New York Times takes Roosevelt to task in a strong * editorial as follows: i “ In his handling of the railway labor problem the President has violated every sound administrative principle. He has fail* ed to lay down clear rules. He has failed to delegate powei clearly, and to one top agency alone. He has failed to support the administrators and agencies to whom he has delegated pow er. He has allowed the unions to appeal to himover the head* of his administrators, and he has intervened1 in particular decis­ ions, “ The first mistake of the Administration lay in its failure, when the wage-stabilization program was adopted, to put rail­ way labor under the same formula and the same top agency as all other labor. A second mistake was in failing to provide a simple non-inflationary wage-stabilization formula that could be applied^to all labor groups^ not only without discrimination but in such a way that they themselves would be convinced thal there was no discrimination. A third mistake Was in failing to stand by the decisions of the agencies and administrators when ...those decisions were challenged. A fourth mistake was to give, more to labor unions after they struck or threatened to strike than they seemed likely to get before they had struck or threat- ' ened to strike. ' 1 “ These errors have led to their inevitable consequences. The railway unions came to believe that they were somehow outside of the stabilization program that applied t'o everyone else. When an emergency board turned in its decision in May for a general wa£e increase of 8 ’cents an hopr for the non-oper­ ating railroad employes, the railroad unions -made the natural assumption that this was the official judgment. When, in .Sep­ tember, another railway emergency board recommended an in­ crease of 4 cents an hour for the railway operating unions, the union leaders rejected the award as “ an insult,” took a strike vote, and have now set a strike date, The President has calmly permitted this defiance of a ruling of the agencies set-up by him. He is now, in fact, offering the operating unions more money as a reward for their defiance, “ This kind of procedure may .indeed avert the present threatened strike. But it will also do two other things. It will The New Deal Interstate Commerce Commission on Friday handed the southern Democrats a nice Christmas present which probably caused re­ joicing: south of the.Mason and Dixon line. The “ Jim Crow” car on' south­ ern trains has been an issue for some time just as is the southern states poll tax to keep ■negroes and poor whites from, voting. Two weeks ago congress ' passed changes in the' se­ lective service law divorcing “ Nutty” McNutt from that' service and giving Director Hershey full control^ On Friday Rposeveit issued a directive virtually setting aside the congres­ sional act and giving McNutt his lost power. That is perfect team work. i :The negro and poor whites are sup­ posed to have the same rights- and privileges under the constitution ,as do-the southern “ lilly whites” and all •northern people. You have never heard of Roosevelt issuing a directive per­ mitting the colored people to vote in ■the-south. Nor .have you read o f the need for more respect for the consti­ tution on this issue by the editorial page of the Dayton Daily News. The Interstate Commerce Commission in its order dismisses an action brought by 18 negro seamen against the At­ lantic Coast Line Rqilroad . on .the ground the segregation of races on all trains, where .equal accomodations andservices were provided, is.not unlawful. The case was heard three years ago and the decision given last week. The seamen’ were denied a breakfast and lunch in the diner until all whites had been served and left the car. Our colored citizens are good enough for the army and navy under old ■Blood and Guts playing second fiddle to: Churchill, yet they cannot be treated ns Americans in uniform in time of war. Not ’So long ago a .Ce­ darville boy recently .inducted in the navy wrote home about food condi­ tions in an Eastern port city. He sta­ ted the better eating places had signs posted reading: “ Soldiers and Dogs Not Wanted” . It is only fair to say that the city referred to was south of the Mason Dixon Line. America wherein one administration was ousted and the army moved in with the aid o f radical civilians who were not friendly to the U. S. Hen. Wallace certainly has cut out a big pattern for the enlightenment o f the Latin races south o f us. . His free milk, sewing machines and a Jot of American supplies to be supplied at the expense of American income tax­ payers were to be used as bait in his reformation program. In a recent broadcast Hen was asked about the danger of our national debt but he expressed himself as d.ebt never hurt anyone—if you had the money to meet It. • 1 Hen thinks everyone is to become so well o ff after this war—money will be no object. And all this in the face of the fact Iowa bankers had to take over the Wallace Farm Publications For some reason or another Hen could not convince. Iowa bankers on his theory of heaping debt and not worrying about it after. To check the worry the bankers just took over the million dollar property. . Make your own interpretation o f the- Wal­ lace theory and also your own appli­ cation. Waltey Wmchell recently touched on an army camp situation that few people probably know About or even could connect with present day news. Now that the Democrats only have a nominal majority o f one in the House, tKe^Republicans should, demand an in­ vestigation of the Wincheli tips. If relatives of a cabinet 'member are be­ ing paid princely sums-for land'rent­ al, and drawing big profits from side lines at the camp, the public should know about it. Congress should b I bo investigate the income o f the Roose­ velt family. Also Harry Hopkins and his supposed connection with British lend-lease. Then who sells the “ Cola” at the various camps on the Pacific Coast? A lot of these, questions must be answered before November 1944.

M. Red Skflton Ann Rutherford in Whistling in Brooklyn Washington Letter (Continued from first page) The OPA through open the gates'to those who engaged in the Christmas tree business this-year, by announcing the head gazabo had no time to give to prices on Christmas trees. Thi3 was .the signal for the New Deal,poli­ ticians that took a fling in a new e.n- terprize to capture big profits, on a Yuletide luxury. The boys in the in­ side invested heavy in northern trees and had' them shipped all over-the Central. States. As for prices, they fixed their own. They ran something like this in the Dayton territory: a 50c cent tree of the 1942 vintage was sold at $1.50 and $2.00. A $3.00 tree of 1942 standard sold for $10 and ithe larger specimans were prices from $15 to $25.i The public balked in most in­ stances. The .New Deal.trees were shipped into territory formerly well supplied by local trade and as a re suit most every dealer had an oversup­ ply of trees on hand unsold. By Fri­ day night some dealers in the larger cities sold their $10 trees for 10c. The experience is worth something after all. The Roosevelt-Ghurchill war lords last week put out* a story, through the Q_WI that Americans could prepare . It is- reported there arc ten thousand young Democrats of draft age on government jobs in Chicago and that ! 09.9 aijjpbin, hiding from the draft. Draft boards are finding opposition in drafting the Democratic slackers. It is estimated there are 35,000 in Washington, D. C., all protected by New Deal order. Probably the Roose­ velt following is substituting negroes- instead,. Joseph Curran, head of the Comumnist Maritime Union, deferred by order of Roosevelt, ,escaped the draft. Democrats should certainly feel proud. The recent revolution down in South for great sacrifice of life when Euro­ pean invasion starts. It is estimated the “ blood and guts” harvest would be 500,000 American boys. Nice reading. Nice planning. This week after the OWI discovers the public did not take well to such a slaughter, gives out a new report, that .the first was made by an unauthorized government spokes­ man but gave no name. It might be well in the future for the New Deal “ lie factory” to quote the authority on all statesments issued. In fact the OWI has proven nothing ' more than the “ night-soil” brigade passing out supposed news as the New Deal wants it, true or false.

Farm land and other- property values will continue upward trend in 1944. In fact, all prices are expected to go higher as the result of gradual infla­ tion. On the legislative front: Congress will- continue refusal to vote taxes heavier than those in the present bill, with scheduled Social Security tax in­ creases postponed. Opposition to sub­ sidies will continue, with a deadlock between Congress and the President developing and a final compromise re­ sulting. The course, o f legislation will be distinctly toward the right. Con­ gress will be more economical-minded than ever, and appropriations for both military and civil purposes will be re­ duced drastically, excepting for the benefit o f war veterans. Legislative probes will bring many unsavory sit­ uations to light. Further legislation benefiting wounded veterans, grant­ ing, mustering-out pay, and providing for overseas voting will be quickly passed. Disagreement between the Congress and the President will be­ come more numerous, as the months pass, and the national legislature will grow more independent in thought and action. On the political front: Despite rumors, to the contrary, the'odds fav­ or Mr. Roosevelt being a candidate for re-election. He won't run unless he believes he can win—but he has never underestimated his own strength. The swing against the New Deal will continue to grow. A Republican Rres^ ident—not Willkie—will be elected. The House of Representatives will go, Republican by a heavy majority. The Senate will be close, but probably Re- ^xiblicanTwwly^ne^thirdTsf'thirSen^ ate will be voted upon next November. Conservative Democrats will attempt to regain control of their party, with failure causing many to support the Republican candidates in November. MAJESTIC— Opens New Years Eve 7 P. M.
