FEED AMERICANS FIRST!

A recent article in one of Dayton's leading papers,
gave to the working man the truth about the critical stua-
ton that is about to confront every American citizen.
In quoting the American Research Institution, some most
interesting facts were revealed. A total of two million dollars
a day in foodstuffs is being shipped to foreign countries resisting
the Axis powers 1t stated that the U. S. government is determined
to continue this pratice, even though it may become necessary
to cut down American food consumption.
1t is q certainty that America is able to produce
America, first.
Charity and the extension of a helping hand to those
in need is indeed a gracious thing! HoDever, so long as a
single American, man, aoonnan, or child is hungry, 1t IS
criminal negligence on the part of those uOhom ue haze
elected to represent us.
In this fair land of .ohich ue are all so justly proud,
there are little children uuho haze not the proper diet to
maintain a healthy American life. Charity, therefore should
begin at home!
Prioriis! This is a word. a high sounding and potent word!
What does it mean to the Union working man and woman?
Never before in the history of our country has a single word
meant that the American people must see those near and dear to
their hearts 90 hungry in a land Of plenty!
Think of the tremendous moral obligations which ae
incurt Is it possible that any citizen of these United States
aDould alIoso his neighbours child to hunger for the American
standard of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, aohae
at the same time casting bread upon the waters of a cease
less ebbing tide?
Proitss! Are we to allow this word to force rs, the Union
working men and women to exist upon the dole of unemployment
insurance? There is only one answer!
The aoorking people are the backbone Of the nation!
The .oorking people are the producers of the American soay
of Icing! The aoorking people are the uoting and tar paying
citizens of our country!
Therefore, if the men whom we have elected to
represent us in the seats of our government fail to voice
our opinions, let us resort to the democratic resources which
our forefathers fought for. The right to elect our own
representation!
No taxation without representation! No starva-
ton through p~riorities!

tract 10 let.
The original plan was for the
Tacoma Housing authority to Dor

and manage the property.
Later this was suddenly kicked
over IN favor OF = plan for defense
housing under F'WA direct. and
the Tacoma authority wss left
