LOYAL GERMANS
DERHAPS IT ISN'T so important NJ

pERHAPS IT ISN'T SO important now, but with
the United States fast heading for shooting
war to dispace the material waging
against Hitler it will soon be useful to keep in
mind that the words Nazi and German are not
necessarily synonymous.
There are loyal Americans of German descent
in this country. They will back America just as
strongly in anything she does will transplanted
Engshmen, Irishmen, Italians whatever-but
Just as in the last war, apt to forget this.
Schwartz, the corner butcher, probably hates
the antics of the German leaders just as much as
does Jiggerman Jones, but with war hysteria
gripping the people, Jggerman Jones might be
prone to let this slip his mind.
People of German descent living in this coun-
try have always beeen liberty-oving and have
contributed greatly to making the United States
an almost model democracy.
They are no less liberty-loving today and will
be Just as anxious to protect this country against
any form of aggression as will any other citizen
when the time comes.

The Cherry Tree
Where We Hutched Out
The Truth
0 POPULATION ON MARCH
IEADY FOR SHOOTING WAR
MORE CHANGES COMING
BUT 1T MUST BE DONE

Washington tosses the population
around. Getting ready for shooting
war-getting set to produce more and
of things for shooting.
Washington tosses the population
around And we're just getting a
good beginning.
More tossing is in store, right soon.
Warnings of things to come have
had little value. Folks just couldn't
believe such things could be.
But here they are and here they
come.
This job of guarding democracy
and crushing the madness of Hit
lerism is no play job.
We've got to be tossed around-put
into a pattern that makes US most
highly efficient for what has to be
. done.
When automobile production gets
cut, that's tossing hunk of popu-
lation around. When washing ma
chine plants and refrigerator plants
are told to cut down, that tosses more
population around.
When steel is commandeered for
wage purposes, that tosses an
enormous piece of population around
and when installment credit is tight
ened up that tosses some more.
And "you amt seen nuthin YETI!
Of course lots of folks don't realize
yet that anything has happened. Like
the fellow whose neck was so neatly
clipped with razor that he said with
glee, "Never te'ched me"-and the
answer is, as it was for him, "Jes'
wait till yo' shakes yo' haid!"
You'll know it soon enough-this
tossing around.
For the eastern seaboard gasoline
rationing is coming. What a tossing
around that is going to be!
And when, in many lines, produc
tion is pooled, what tossing around
that will be for branded commodities
which have been exploited at costs of
millions of dollars. And the men in
the production jobs back Of the
brands-they get tossed, too.
The point is that all of these and
many more have to be done.
And very little has been done to
prepare for the jolt.
Perhaps nobody knew how to pre-
pare-or knows today.
But mainly it seems that so few
could believe these things could hap
pen. Nobody knew that what they
call "all out" effort would mean put
ting everything else in second place,
or further back than that.
Business as usual" which also
means "work as usual" seemed to be
the idea. 1t was crazy. In modern
war business as usual" isn't even a
third rate joke. There is but one busi-
ness and that business is war.
The sooner everyone understands
this the less pain there will be as
the business of tossing population
around proceeds.
We have an enormous price to pay
for this job-a price that comes out
of every family. We'd better look for
ward to it, get ready for it, expect
hardship and try to think and plan
with some sense.
Wen probably be long time in
this business of beating down Hit
lerism. All picnics are postponed "for
the duration" Don't be one Of those
who'll say, "it never te'ched me"
when your part of the population gets
tossed around as a necessity Of war
and defense
Try to figure out where you're 60
ing to land before you go up in the
air.-CMW.

Truths Pondered While
Riding At Anchor
MR.. MODESTUS
. HITLER WILL FAIL
g GANGS OF CROOKS
. ALWAYS FIGHT
THEMSELVES
. JUST NEED TIME

II IHEMSELNE Els
. JUST NEED TIME
Be honest!
Men must trust each other
If they are to live together in COM
munities-
They must so live that they can be
trusted
This is especially true of those who
do the worlds work
Honesty, being the cornerstone of
civilization
Is the first requisite of decent
society
There is a fringe of crooks
Around every community, of what
ever kind
But the bulk of civilized society
must be honest, in the main
Otherwise it would dissolve, in
mutual suspicion and crime
Great nations are not, cannot be,
built upon systematic fraud
There will be fringes of tricks,
groupings out of cheating
But the worlds business could not
be carried on
In the presence of universal crooked
ness
X X
There is a percentage of criminal
minds
Just as there is a standard pro-
| portiOnal death rate
Insurance companies accept risks,
on payment of premiums
On mathematical basis, estab-
llshed by experience
That is why it is possible to have
bonds for employees
These companies make money by
carrying these risks
Which proves that crooks are really
the exception.
Crooks don't trust each other
Hitler is constantly liquidating his
pals
They can't trust each other, know
! ing their own minds
Knowing what crooks will do, they
must suspect their pals
That explains the high death rate
among crooks
Wiped off by their own inside mem
bers-
1t is almost automatic.
X X x
These facts give honest men con-
fidence-
When they find crooks ganging up
on them
Gangs always start to fight among
| themselves
When thieves fall out, honest men
have a chance to carry Oh
This constitutes a sort of universal
insurance
Given time for inherent forces to
work out the results.
x K X
That is why Hitler's plans will
fail
And racketeers in unions will al
ways get licked
Democracy will win out, given time
enough to get going
That's why democracy, inherently
and essentially honest
Furnishes the only permanently de
cent conditions of life
That is also why those who believe
in democracy
Must cooperate, in furnishing the
necessary police powers
Whether the criminals happens to
be in village or nation
Especially, if they happen to seize
international advantage
X X x
Something for nothing
Is a game that cannot last
Being contrary to the natural law
Of balances
The worlds workers can afford to
be honest
Because they have what the world
most needs, and must have
Which is, the productive power of
intelligent labor
Labor has paid the bills, always
and everywhere
1t has mined, Quarricd, numbered
built machines operated them
In Labor are the worlds resources
and the cornerstoneS of power
Labor won't have to be tricky, OF
crooked
Labor can afford to be honest
Because, Labor can pay.

An emperor of ancient times, after
winning great battle, said this:
Zone more such victory, and | will
be ruined His losses Of men and
material had been so great that vic
tory left his people weary, exhausted,
and low in morale.
Some think that may be IIitlcr's
fate even if he finally subdues Rus

has lost, in Killed and wounded, l,OO0,-
600 men, and they are the cream of
the ReichSwehr. In the meantime, his

fering almost no casualties and are
growing stronger fast.
