SHALL WE SINK IT?

(Grants Pass Courier)
When we've won this war, If we 90,
we won't repeat one mistake we made
after the last war.
That mistake was to scuttle our own
navy,
We are learning, the long, hard way.
AS a young nation, a very infant IN a
world long populated and mis-managed
bv our elders. we are finding out what
it takes to keep our part Of the world
safe and at peace.
1t takes force.
A while ago we didn't think so. But
now we do.
The secretary of the navy, Frank Knox,
put this resolution into words the other
day.
what are we going to do with it, tel-
low Americans he asks. "Are we gong
to sink it again after this war? Or are
we going to preserve it and maintain 1t
to defend Us against future vars
So far as we are concerned, we VIII
maintain that navy after the war IS over
even if there should be no other navy IN
the world to oppose it.
1t costs much, too much, to MAINTAIN
such a navy. But even more not to.

OUR MORALE AT HOME
VITAL CONSIDERATION

Perhaps il would "comfort' the enemy
to know that our armies have suffered
reverses, and some of our ships nave
gone down
We say, let him have what comfort he
can get out of the news. His morale will
crack all the sooner for it. Lead at the
beginning to expect continued successes
and. possibly, an early victory, he will be
more and more bewildered as time devel-
OBS proof that the early successes were
merely first moves on the checker board
of war
But. more than that, we say: let US
have the bad news. Hearing it, we will
not be laboring under any delusion that
our success is greater than it IS. We Will
not be subjected to inevitable shock when
some new defeat comes along that IS so
shocking il cannot be hidden by censor
ship. If W. know all along just exactly
where we stand, we shall be immune from
the disappointment that comes when CEN
sorship is finally forced TO let bad news
through its moral blockade.
We are going to win this war; OF that
there is not the slightest doubt IN any
body's mind But it is going to be a
long pull and hard one There should
be no doubt about that in anybody's mind.
If we get the bad news when It comes
we can realize Just how long and how
hard our Job is going 10 be. And, reallz-
ing. we can buckle down to the task ahead
of uS--tht task of seeing that America
is made so strong at home and abroad
that no power on earth can stand up
against US i'm the end.
Imperial Valley press., 1941-12-23

We have Il head start on the job.
We began last summer to plan for
production in 1912, to meet the food
and fiber needs of the nation as
nearly as they could be anticipated
1912 PRODUCTION
PLANS ARE LAID
Last summer when we set up the
goals. We found that we needed to
make some adjustments in our 1912
production to meet rapidly chang
ing conditions. British food needs
and the desirability of building up
some reserves for postwar use en-
tered into the calculations, on top
o. increasing requirements at home.
All things considered. we found
We needed to produce less cotton.
wheat, and tobacco, and produce
more milk for cheese, evaporated
and dried milk; more hogs for meat
and lard: more chickens IOr meat
and eggs; more vegetables for cam
ring. We expected that our imports
ui vegetable oils would be greatly
reduced by the war and so We
! tanned for big increases in the
acreage Of soy beans and peanuts
for oil.
The total production then plan
ned fOl 1912 represented a net in
crease OF about two per cent over
the record high production of l94l,
but the Job could be done without
blowing up any more land. In gen.
rral, the 1912 production goals as
planned still hold good We may
have to revise them upward in some
lines, and as this is written, we are
Going over them. We shall notify
farmers of the reviSionS well in
advance of planting time.
You farmers were asked to plan
Your individual production to have
a proportiOnate part in the adjusted
production for 1942. The reports
submitted by your neighborS who
did the farm-to-farm canvass SHOW,
that your total production plans
meet the 1912 goals with margins
to spare.
You know there are difficulties
ahead before the plans on paper
become food on the table. We're
not going to be able to hire as
much skilled farm labor next year
as we'd like. 1t may be that we
can train "teen-age bogS, and young
women from the cities to help in
farm work. But regardless of Il
