WORK MEANS PRODUCTION
The Fayetteville Observer

It is generally agreed that for the next
seven years the United States tax bill for ma
tional defense is going to be In excess OF three
billion dollars per year.
That is a staggering sum today and it will
reduce the American standard of living sharp
ly unless the Washington government develops
some means for the American citizens to pay
for it with a few more hours of work per week.
In the last analysis taxes are nothing but
money and money is nothing but a symbol for
work.
There are today approximately II, ZOO, 600 per-
sons engaged in mining, manufacturing, con-
struction, transportation and the public utlh-
ties of the United States.
BY working one hour a day more they would
add five billion, 304 million man hours to the
production ability of the United States of Amer
lea, a mass of energy which is valued at fifty
cents an hour "a low average for the nation)
equals 81, GAG, 600, 600, a sum in striking distance
of the annual tax bill for national defense.
And this does not include the additional Ia
Dor which could be made available for ma
tional defense production if there was one
hours extra work per day from the seven and
one-half million Americans engaged In trade
distribution and finance or the amost ten mil
lions engaged in the service industries. And it
is not even attempting to take into considera-
ton the twelve millions engaged in agriculture
because they already work more than their
share of the hours.
Upon the intelligence of the Government in
devising a means whereby extra work may be
substituted for extra taxes will depend the
standard of living of the American people for
the next seven years.
Possibly upon it will depend the independent
existence of the American people.
France put its faith in short hours and high
taxes and couldn't produce planes or ammunl-
ton as fast as they were used up in the battle.
If France had put its faith in work instead OF
in artificial symbols which stand for work, she
might still be holding the Germans at bay and
still be keeping her honor bright.

Orders Young

az "skullking, staggering

| ships crew as being '.skullking. staggering
louts."
When the British guards tried to deal with
them courteously, they tainted them with j.
hes as to British weakness and decadence OF
character and, according to The New York
Herald Tribune, 'indulged in boasts, threats
and insults"
But this is not the whole of the story as to
the behaviour Of the German prisoners on the
way over.
The ''skulking, staggering louts' were not
representative of the entire delegation.
In the complement of prisoners were other
Germans who were former civilian sailors,
captains of some of Gernany's fine passenger
liners captured off Norway, and press reports
relate that their conduct was quite in contrast
to that of the others.
These took their fate calmly and philosophi-
ca1ly, appeared to be chagrinned and embar-
raised at the rude behaviour of the other Ger
man prisoners and, when the vessel docked,
they made the rounds Of the ships officers to
thank them for the courtesies which mad been
extended and otherwise to show evidences OF
gentlemanliness and decency and sportsman
ship.
The incident is worth mentioning for more
than merely to recite the attitude of the first
named set of prisoners as exhibiting the whole
of the Modern German spirit and descent Of
character, or to use the episode In order to
multiply epithets of wrath against their de-
cadence into a complete and without-exception
class of 'louts."
The gang that behaved like apes OF the jun
gle typify the new German, the Hitlerized
Prussian, completely obsessed with the satanic
convictions Of the supreme Lout OF them all,
the Furore.
But the other type demonstrates the con-
tinued existence of a German who is trying to
remain civilized and obedient to the elemental
amenities of humanity, and, for all we know,
here, then, is revealed a basic differentiation
between the German people of today. upon
which the hope of civilization may yet in part
~reside-namely, in the German who remains
un -Hitlerized and, therefore, holding to some
at least of the latent virtues of decency and
manhood.
The Herald Tribune puts it succinctly and
impressively:
Ascendant for the present is the ruth
less barbarian, the synthetic Goth, con-
temptuous of every Christian instinct. But
throughout his country, suppressed but sur
viving, is an antithetical element, perhaps
numerically superior, stepped traditionaly
in them and tenacious of the amenities OF
civilization. Despite current evidence OF
German unity under the Nazis this cleav-
age is unmistakable and may yet prove to
be the fatal joint in Hitler's armor."
