Knowing as we do that Russia is
closely allied with the Axis powers
and even with Japan, Congressman
Bender asked why we should throw
open our plants to foreign repre-
sentatives whose government is
known to be furnishing both Japan
and Germany with war materials
In addition to these contradictory
actions we have been and still are
shipping oil and supplies direct to
Japan. In April we sent million,
$50 thousand gallons of gasoline to
that country-9Oeo of her total re-
quirement.

thority to l947; Second, will permit
the R.F.C. to make loans to for
eign governments or agencies, with

The bill further contains the in
creasingly familiar phrase of mot

increases the R.F.C. power to issue
notes by $l1z billion. These bor-
rowings are not reflected in the ma

NIASHINGTON has shared in
w the general speculation over
the flight of Rudolph Hess to Scot
land. The general opinion now
seems to be that it was a carefully
planned expedition, exposed BY his
broken ankle.
In Germany military planes are
under such close guard that it Is
almost uncomfortable that Hess ex-
ira gasoline tank could have been
installed without the knowledge Of
many persons.
The fact that after the warning
was given that a German military
plane had crossed the Scotch bor-
der no attempt seems to have been
made by British pilots or anti-air-
craft defense to fire on it appears
to indicate the flight was known to
be taking place.
It is being rather generally said
that the flight was made for the
purpose Of discussing a possible
peace.

Union. The Navy announced two
more British w%arships have entered
u. S. ports for repairs.
Relations with China and Japan
The President told his press con-
ference the United States has de-
cided to withdraw American Marines
from China. He said the Marines had
offered protection to comparatively
few Americans. Navy Secretary
Knox. speaking in Providence, K. l.,
said efforts of the United States to

Civilian Defense
The Office of Civilian Defense

The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1941-11-20

We have said "it can't happen here"
Blt if is happening. Strikes are increasing
daily and so-called defense industry has
definitely been retarded. No longer can we
blame it on the Communists. 1t is American
workmen who are striking.
A large number of these American work
men do not want to strike, not only In the
railroad Brotherhoods, but in other unions
as well. They strike because a labor union
dictator tells them to strike.
The labor dictator, John l.. Lewis, has
grown holder with his demands for a CLOSED
shop" This attitude struck by Mr.. Lewis and
nv other union organizers is the direct re-
suit of Mr.. Roosevelt's policies of catering
to labor for political reasons a policy
that has boomeranged with dire results for
the whole country.
The Lord has given and the Lord has taken
away. MIR. Roosevelt has given the labor
unions their power and now he Is going TO
he compelled to take the power away. Inc
President is the only means left to avert
this strike that will be the death knell OF the
nation. To be consistent at all and promote
the defense program" the President must
act He cannot let Dictator Lewis get the
best of him. His continued prestige on the
home front demands that he continue to be
the big boss.
The growing number of strikes could be
an attempt to sabotage the armament pro-
gram and thus a trial at keeping this coun-
try out of war. But more likely 1t is the
attempt of labor leaders to use the EN-
ergency'' as the whip to gain more advant-
ages for themselves.
We earnestly hope this railroad strike
can be averted. We believe the better ele-
ment of railroad labor in Durant feels the
same way.
1t should be the prayer of all America that
Mr.. Roosevelt should not feel it necessary
to put us in the war all the way in order
to bring labor into line. Strikes are not
permitted when a country is at war.
And that is exactly what labor will be
getting if strikes don't stop.
Mr.. Roosevelt has already carried us to
the brink of war. An open declaration and
sending an expeditionary force are the only
things left that we can do to be more bel
ligerent.
Labor is going to topple us over that
brink if it isn't careful.

further sharp increase in the cost Of

CAPTIVE Coal Mine Dispute

ment in the steel industry's captive

framing from further strike action.
President Roosevelt asked leaders

Harvest sweetpotatoes before first
killing frost or freeze and handle
carefully to insure high quality and
successful storage. Harvest crop as
soon as weather conditions permit,
as killing frost may be expected at
any time. Sweetpotatoes dug during
warm, clear weather are easier to
store and grade. In digging be
careful to prevent cutting or bruis-
ing. Handle sweetpotatoes carefully
and as little as possible from the time
they are dug until they are removed
from storage. This will prevent ex-
cessive loss from decay, reduce num-
Der of culls, and increase production
Of plans from each .bushel of seed.
Pick up sweetpotatoes within an
hour after digging. Do not throw
in piles or leave in field owe night.
Place seed, culls and marketable po-
tatoes in separate crates or hampers
at digging time. Many successful
growers wear c gloves when
handling uncured sweetpotatoes, to
prevent scratching or bruising pota-
toes. Store sweetpotatoes in contain
ers used in harvesting.

Forest tree seedlings again are
available for the 1941 AAA year.
Many farmers are putting idle, a.
bandoned and otherwise unused land
back into production by planting for
est trees, and at the same time are
able to earn SIS a farm for planting
trees. Over a million acres of timber
land were cut over in Mississippi
this year. In too many instances no
seed trees are left to restock these
lands. To properly restock our tim
berlands it will be necessary to in
crease our tree planting program
on a large scale. In addition, when
cutting timber leave six good seed

The Railroad Strike

Unless something happens to prevent 4.
on December 9Th nearly 1000, 900 men en-
ployed by the railroads will walk out on a
strike.
Such a strike will paralyzed the nation.
: A large part Of our transportation facili-
ties will be tied up. Mail deliveries will stop.
Freight deliveries will cease except by trucks
and they will be unable to handle all the
traffic. Business will slowly cease.
Defense industries might as well close
down entirely.
OF course this threatened strike must be
prevented in some way, by some method.
The Brotherhoods representing the en-
ployees demanded a 80 percent increase In
wages. The increase was referred to the
Emergency Fact Finding Board, appointed
by the President himself.
This Board recommended to the President
that 7h percent increase for the operating
Brotherhoods be granted and 13h percent
for the fourteen incorporating unions.
This recommendation made by the Pre-
sident's Board in an effort to settle the threat
ened strike has definitely been rejected by
the operating unions. Incorporating unions
have neither accepted or rejected.
The operating union, composed of EN-
gineers, firemen, conductors, brakemen and
switchmen will go out on strike December
9Th unless some means of settlement is
reached.
