Eastern Farmers
Hit By Drought

WASHINGToN-Farmers Of the
eastern half OF the United state,
face the prospect OF serious crop
damage unless there are heavy
sustained rains in the immediate
future, the u. S. weather bureau
said today.
A severe shortage Of rainfall has
prevailed in the east and south for
nearly six months and streams are
so low in some communities that
domestic use OF water has been
restricted and power plants face
reduced operations.
The drought area includes New
England. New Jersey. Pennsyl-
vania, Maryland. Virginia. West
Virginia, the Carolinss. Georgia.
Tennessee. Kentucky. Indiana, Ala
hama. Mississippi, Ohio. New York
and Louisiana.
The state of Florida is the only
section east OF the Mississippi
river which has had better than
average rainfall in the six months
period from November and thus far
into May.

S+roigh+ From
Washington
BY STEPHEN NJ. YOUNG
Congressman at Large, Ohio

Washington.-The greatest mass
slaughter in history is occurring in
Russia Many Americans find it hard
to shed even crocodile tears over any
misfortune that comes to Dictator Joe
Stain. The trouble is that he and
those close to him are not being
slaughtered but hundreds of thous-
ands unoffending Russians are, simply
because Hitler needs desperately oil
and wheat Stain had hand in train
and bank robberies in his younger
days. AS soon as he came to power in
Soviet Russia he has been busy order
ing the execution of his fellow coun-
trymen and sending those he saved
from the firing squad into exile to
Siberia. His only other activity, ap-
parently, has been to buy ll-ftting
clothes. He went into a partnership
with Adolf Hitler, signed a 10-year
non-aggression alliance at Hitler's So
licitation and the war now waged by
Hitler against him is the case of a
smarter and more unprincipled bandit
and blackguard double-crossing his
fellow conspirator. An interesting
sidelight is that Communists in
America who were carrying on peace
demonstrations picketing the White
House folded the day Hitler marched
into Russia and began urging immedi-
ate declaration of war against Ger
many.
President Roosevelt in his historic
conference with Prime Minister
Winston Churchill asked, Winston,
how long did your generals tell you
the Russian army would last? ?" "Three
weeks" answered the Premier, 'and
what did your generals advise you?"
"They said two weeks" replied the
President "but let's skip it. l don't
mention it as they're pretty sensitive
on the subject"
Lend Lease
What, by the way, has become Of
those prophets of doom of last March
who said this nation would be in the
war against Hitler within thirty days
after the passage of HR1776, the
Lend-Lease Bill? 1t is evident that
President Roosevelt is striving to
keep the war away from America.
Only Congress can declare war and if
Ham Fish were to offer his resolution
to declare war against Germany there
would not be thirty votes cast in the
House Of Representatives in favor OF
this resolution.
There comes time in the history
of a nation when fateful decisions
must be made. Japans hour of de-
cision is at hand. Congress is de-
termined to maintain Americas his
toric freedom of the seas even if this
has to be supported by warships with
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1941-11-06

blazing guns. Our peril is that Japan
has cast her lot with Hitler and has
bound herself in an alliance which
was the result Of shrewd manipula-
tion by Hitler. Hitler's purpose in
securing an alliance with Japan was
to immobolize our war feet in the Pa
ciic and in event Of war with Japan
to divert shipments Of war supplies
from the Atlantic to the Far East.
Japan has always been this nations
best customer. 1t would seem un-
thinkable that war could break out
between our nations. However reck-
less military and naval clique may
force the japanese Empire into war
which would be ruinous to her people.
There never will be any AEF in the
Pacific The Chinese have the man
power American officers and tech
nicians and the American Navy will
do the job. 1t would be suicidal for
Japan to make war against this coun-
try but you may be sure if American
freighters are captured in the Jap
anese Straits or interferred with IN
the Far East your Navy will go into
action. Japan's air power and sea
power, while formidable, would be de-
stroyed. Under President Roosevelt
our Navy and Naval aviation have
been builded until today they are the
most powerful in the world. If there
should be war between Japan and
America it will be due to the mill
tary elements in Japan who have
brushed the moderates aside and
gambled desperately on the idea Of a
Hitler victory in Europe. Should
Japan attempt to blockade our COM
merce with the Dutch East Indies or
interfere with any military shipments
to Siberia our Navy and Naval avia-
ton will meet the attack and uphold
the right of this nation to trade peace
fully anywhere in the world.

Clinic Uncovers
Three T. B. Cases

Three more persons with tubercu-
losis were revealed at the regular
monthly clinic held in East Liverpool
last Thursday afternoon. Out of the
thirty-seven persons examined, it was
discovered that three had active, pull
monary tuberculosis requiring imme-
diate disqualification, two had early
silicosis and thirty-two either had no
tuberculosis or healed tuberculosis.
DR.. Z. E. Kirkwood superintendent
Of the Mahoning County Sanitorium.
was the examining physician, assist
ed by Mrs. Jeanette Carpenter, pub
lie health nurse Of East Liverpool,
and Mrs. Jennie Calhoun, public
health nurse Of Wellsville.
DR.. kirkwood was of the opinion
that all three persons who were dis
covered with active tuberculosis stood
good chance of recovering if they
would enter a sanitorium immedi-
ately.
These monthly clinics are spon-
sored by the Columbiana County Pub
lie Health League in the interest of
discovering tuberculosis when it is
more readily cureable The Health
League is doing all in its power to
see that the people of Columbiana
County are protected from those who
have active tuberculosis, but it can
not finance the disqualification of these
persons. The cost Of disqualification is
rightfully public responsibility and
should be paid out of public funds.

sent his coming home, if he is doing
dirty work, with muddy boots and
clothes, perhaps at awkward hours, in
volving the use Of the bathroom and
the serving of meals at inconvenient
times.
1t is the business of the welfare Of
fcers and their voluntary helpers to
smooth out such difficulties by keep
ing in touch with both the workers
and their families upon whom they
are billeted.
There are other difficulties, too,
such as food supplies in the billets.
The landlady may also be a war
worker and she may find it difficult
to do her shopping on that account. It
is the business of the welfare officers
to keep an eye on this aspect of af-
fairs, and to help the landladies in
their task of providing meals for the
billetees.
In conjunction with other authori-
ties it is their responsibility to see
that canteen facilities are provided
and, if necessary, to urge the need of
a scheme of public restaurants in the
area.
Many Of these restaurants have al
ready been established on "cash and
carry" plan which enables meals to
be taken from tho restaurant and
warmed up at holi1e.
Care of the Disabled
Another very significant feature Of
the Ministry's welfare work not dealt
with in it's report, now engages the
active interest of the trade unions.
The Ministry has prepared scheme
to assist disabled men and women,
civilians injured in air raids, or by ac-
cidents in factories to get rehabilita-
tion treatment and proper training to
fit them for suitable employment as
soon as they are discharged from the
hospital.
The aim of the scheme is not to
patch up disabled persons and rush
them back to any employment, but to
qualify them by proper training to
undertake the most skilled work they
are capable of doing.
A long list of trades has been conf
piled and arrangements made for
training disabled persons to work at
these trades. Maintenance allowances
on generous scale are provided for
them whilst they are undergoing
training and rehabilitation.
This official welfare work links up
with the work of voluntary organiza-
tions, including St. Dunstan's, the
wonderful hospital at Roehampton,
and the model village created as a
sanatorium by the British Legion in
Kent.
There is, too, linked up with these
official and voluntary welfare activi-
ties, the organization established
across the Atlantic from which comes,
mainly through the American Red
Cross, a swelling stream of medical
and surgical supplies. Shipments of
surgical dressings alone from Amer
lea to this country exceed to date
more than 14,CO0,000.
