Take What's Needed

Some IT'S million bushels of the 1917 wheat crop are
being held back and if not marketed by May To- will be
confiscated by the under authority of military
necessity, say Washington Press Association dispatches.
Ii the government confscae the farmers wheat.
why cannot it confscate any other sort of his property
any other mans?
Must there be n special authorization law to
wheat and other special enacments to pigs. horses u
ber etc. down the whole list of property?
There is much roaring by certain of statesmen
the granting of autocatc powers TO the admnistra-
ton and in several instances the administration itself has
seemed to hesitate act until definite and formal
authority granted.
Congress does realize and perhaps the administra-
ton does not fully appreciate the extent to which the
try feels that all that it has, in particular and in general
Is property to be taken and used by the government
as Il fit
The country is not worrying about plans, programs.
formal authorization but about performances All fear has
oozed out of the terms conscaton and commandeerng
And particularly just does the country feel that time
IS most precious.
All the talk about infringing upon democracy and
ABOUT the rights of property wadde and hypocrisy We're
not going to have democracy property unless
into the fight for all that's in mighty Confiscate
boarded wheat Yes and confscate everything else that's
boarded and needed in the with without any other
authorization than the fact that it's military necessity

Here's what Ford has 90 say about

Success In producing great guam

leadership and labor. These must
work In harmony and confidence.
Men don't work for money alone.

something In the business. In the

"Mahy war plants are having IL.
Dor troubles because the men know
that the business ia built on a spec.
ulntion for a quick profit and will
BE- dropped after tho war. Such
plants offer their workers no pros

THE ease with which we have
been able 10 increase production
mt the Ford plant was due large
~ 10 the willing cooperation Of
