THIS FREEDOM
OF OURS

(RiVerSlde PreSS)
The British idea of Democracy is diff
ferent than the American, and the En-
glish Democracy has its good points.
In England, the prime minister goes
before the house of commons periodical
ly, to request vote of confidence in
his government. If he should fail to re-
ceive a favorable vote he would immed-
lately resign and another cabinet would
be formed.
Every time that Mr. Churchill appears
in the house of commons he is questioned
Searchingly on the conduct of the war
and his policies. Any member of par
lament has the right to ask him to ex-
plain his acts and any ordinary citizen
may question him in any public gather
ing.
In this great Democracy of the United
States of America, things are different.
Our President goes before congress and
tells the congress what to do. II op-
position develops, he doesn't resign, but
his political henchmen Immediately start
to soften up the opposing congressman.
And what chance would the ordinary
citizen have in this country to question
the President? Even newspaper men
who ask embarrassing questions at the
press conference are barred.
We are a nation formed by the men
and women who left England and otner
European nations because they valued
freedom more than comfortable existence
among their neighbors, trading the latter
for the hardships of the pioneer,
Of all peoples, Americans should cher
ish freedom. Of all nations, we should
be most tolerant. Yet we find that the
public. as we'll as our elected officials,
are intolerant of opposition. Some OF
them are more dictatorial than the die
tators of Europe, or would be If the op-
portunity arose.
Our forefathers fought for the right
to believe and to say what they sincerely
felt was right. The essence of Democ-
racy has always been the right of every
citizen to express his honest convictions,
especially in time of peace.
There are two sides to every question.
As members of the worlds leading De-
mocracy, we should study both sides be-
fore expressing an opinion. And we
should never deny an opponent the right
to express his own ideas as to what IS
right and what is wrong.

CONGRESS Must Face Responsibility

Perhaps it would be best to send
all home at the end of the year,
though it does call to mind the
federal troops marching up to the
battle of First Bull Run, who &C
tually passed on the road comp
anies marching away from the I'M
pending battle because their three
month enlistments had expired.
Washington, whose troops were al
ways melting away, also knew the
problem,
Today's situation must De squarcly
faced. The people are prepared to
accept any decision made by their
elected representatives..
They will not tolerate any pass
ing of the buck, any failure to ex-
plore all aspects of the problem
any wavering in deciding it reso-
lutely on the basis of the national
safety and welfare. That is the
kind of clear-cut decisions which
free countries must make to sur
vive in today's world.

The Inside Track in Washington

1912 models would normally begin
Aug. l. but. if before that time the
decision were reached to cut auto
mobile production so per cent, in
stead of the now contemplated 20
per cent, it might mean that as
many as 250,000 production workers
would temporarily be thrown out
of Jobs 10000 of them in the De-
troit area alone. Needless to say,
every effort will be made to keep
the plants going at least until jobs
are open in new defense plants, such
as the Ford bomber Sub-assembly
plant at Ypsilanti, and others.
The radio industry is another
which may have to take major
licking, turning out only 100000
sets next year as against 10000
sets in 1910.

THE WAR CHORUS
New York NeWS)

New I Ofk News
And so the chorus goes, of antiphonal
voices on this side and that side of the
Atlantic hog-calling us into a shooting
war.
Mr.. Churchill says that not all the
British troops will be taken out of Ice
land that some of them will be left
there and braided with American troops
for a Joint defense of the sub-Arctic sea
fortress. He also implies that American
and British fighting ships and planes
will be used jointly for protection of the
Atlantic shipping routes, at least be-
tween Iceland and the United States.
To the isolationists in this country
who point to such things as the N. Y.
Daily News and Chicago Tribune polls,
indicating 3-to-1 and 4-to-1 sentiment
against a shooting war in important
Northeast and Midwest areas, the above
mentioned Mr.. Willkie has an interest
ing answer Mr. Willkie says in effect
that similar polls in 1861 would probably
have shown the majority Of Americans
opposed to war, but that Lincoln was a
leader and took them into the Civil War

BEHIND THE
PRESIDENTS REQUEST

A lot of oratorv has swirled around
the request Of the United States Army,
which President Roosevelt has now made
his own request, for power to retain
selectees, reservists and national guards
men in service beyond the year for winch
they were originally called But behind
the oratory is history-and 1t Is tragic
history.
The one-year period Of service plagued
George Washington in the Revolutionary
War. 1t was the bane of LlncOn's COM
manders during the Civil War. 1t was the
greatest drawback to Uncle Sans fight
ing forces during the Spanish-American
War.
Washington has been quoted as saying
there would have been no Valley Forge
with its tragedy of barefoot soldiers
had his army not been declmated time
and again by expiration OF the one-yeaf
enlistment periods. Civil war hlStof-
ians have commented that the tragedy
of Bull Run in the Civil War was made
possible because troops engaged there
were fresh recruits called into battle at
ter others had quit at the end of their
one-year term. Commanders in the Span
ish-American War had far more trouble
with soldiers whose enlistmentS were eX-
piring than they did with tactical prob
lens.
In every period when the United
States has gone to war, except for the
time of the World War, expiring enlist
ments have been the greatest drawback
to the armed forces. And, in the World
War, unpreparedness was the tragedy
that cost thousands of lives.
This time-whether we go to war or
not-we shall be prepared. We shall
have avoided a repetition of the mistake
that was so near-fatal in the World war.
But, avoiding that mistake, shall we
again make the mistakes of the Revolu
tionary War, the Civil War and the Span
sh-American War?
Of course we are not at war today
technically. There is far more than an
even chance, however, that we will be
at war by the time another year is out.
We hope not. But hoping we should not
allow ourselves to go back to sleep.
1t is better to have the army, and not
have to use it, than it would be to have
need of the army, and have 1t. One
is simply expensive and troublesome, the
other would be fatal.
Imperial Valley press., 1941-07-22
If RUSSIA HOLDS

So remote has the possibility seemed
that thousands of Americans have not
even let their minds dwell on the fact
that Russian armies might be able to
continue resistance to German battallons.
Most of us have believed that the Rus
slams, after their poor showing against
Finland and with their admittedly in
ferior military leadership, would be un-
able to check the Nazi military machine
for any great length of time. In fact,
the Red armies have held even longer,
already, than we believed possible in the
beginning.
The fact that they have held, and are
continuing to hold in the face of over
whelming pressure. opens up an inter-
esting question What if Hitler is unable
to conquer Russia?
1t would mean only one thing Hitler's
defeat would be assured.
If the Soviet maintains a fighting line
on the eastern front, even though it be in
the Ural mountains, the Germans must
eventually face an all-out war on two
fronts. (Have you noticed how much
Oftener the news dispatches from Eng
land these days are beginning to mention
the possibility Of British invasion of
the continentD
German strategy is such that it is not
geared to defense Once thrown on the
defensive, with enemies battering from
both sides, the Germans will be finished.
Imperial Valley press., 1941-07-22

Nothing is harder or more un-
pleasant than TO look grave sit
uation in the face squarely, decide
what needs to be done, and do it
Congress is just like the rest Of
US in that respect. If it passes an
occasional buck, why that is no
more than the rest of us do. But
now the President and the chief
of staff come to Congress and tell
tional safety requires that many
it that in their judgment the ma
men now in service for what was
to have been a year must remain
longer.
Either this is necessary or 1t IS
not necessary. Congress must de-
eide, and must bear the respon-
sibility for its decision. 1T is not
a question to be decided on Sentl-
ment. 1t is not a question to be
evaded. 1t is a question to be faced
and decided.
If it be true, as some critics have
averred. that the U. S. Army has
not a single division ready for COM
bat on the European scale, then
Congress must decide how many
such divisions it will have Wher
from some of the regular army
divisions as many as 600 reserve
officers are sent home at the enc
of their year 1t must decide how
well defended will be the outpost'
when units which have been sem
thither are decimated by men sci
home.
General Marshall, in his biennia
report, says, Whatever we do TO
the national defense should be dont
in the most efficient manner
= Perhaps it would be the mos
efficient way to persuade larg
numbers to remain IN service vol
unfairly, offering inducements il
pay and conditions.
Perhaps it would be best to re-
lease only those above %.

WASHINGTON, July eff, slap
dab in the middle of this defense
boom, someone were to rise up and
propheSy that 5000 manufacturing
plants would be shut down in the
next six months, you would prob
ably think him cockeyed.
Yet that very prediction is noT
on record and it comes from no less
an industrialist than Albert J.
Browning of Chicago, head of the
United Wallpaper Companies and a
member of the advisory committee
in the Office of Production Man
agement in Washington. The pre-
diction goes farther than that. Many
of these small companies, Brown
ing believes. face economic ruin.
That is pretty drastic prophecy
but the beginnings OF It's fulfill
ment can already be seen, Only
three weeks ago Peter r. Nehem-
khis, Jr.. one of the bright young
economists in the Defense Contract
Service, said mo 1ewer than 10
entire industries whose supplies of
materials have been either drasti-
cally curtailed or completely Shut
off would either have to close down
or enter a new line of production. .
He was ridiculed, but so fast has
this situation developed that in
three weeks another OPM adviser
foresees 5000 plants shut down and
still others are saying that in
another three weeks the country
will be we'll launched on a first
class defense depression.
This is a paradoxical situation if
there ever was one, but it boils
down to the simple situation il
which defense industries, having
first call OF materials, simply do
not leave enough for manufacturers
supplying the civilian demand.

CAN'T STRETCH
THIS RUBBER

In the rubber goods field, the
big six" can, say the OPM adVis-
ers. take care of all the defense
needs. but as for the 400 little man
ufacturers, OPMers are giving no
assurances. Unless the big boys can
farm out ub-contracts to the little
fellows, they may find the going eX-
remedy tough.
All electric appliances-vacuum
cleaners, stoves, air conditioning
units, refrigerators and washing ma
chimes, as well as radio sets-may
be tremendously curtailed. Electric
heating appliances will suffer par
ticularly, owing to the shortage OF
the nickel-chromium alloy which
goes into the heating element.
Everything from linoleum to bottle
shoppers may be curtailed because
of the shortage of cork, where the
civilian demand is IN the ratio of
~ W bllC supply vi OiiC' III doo oilN'
bronze hardware manufacture seems
doomed. Outboard motors-all kinds
of sporting goods, in fact-may be
strictly limited.
The silver plate industry, with
eight major manufacturers. may
have to shut down completely, not
particularly because of any short
age of silver, but because of short
ages of nickel, copper and zinc.
Even novelty jeWelry manufac-
turers must suffer. as their princi-
pal base metal is copper, and with
in six months, 30 per cent of the
copper production will. be going tC
