Faithful DAYS
(From Editor and Publisher


In a day when name-calling and
personal vilification have replaced rea-
son as a weapon in argument, we sup
pose newspapers assume the risk of
being labeled 'insolationist" if they
insist that only Congress has the pow
war. But we are glad to note that
several did so on the heels of Mr..
Stimson's address. 1t is we'll that the
public be reminded of the appalling
consequences of making the United
States an active belligerent, and that
the irretraceable step be not taken
until all other possibilities have been
looked at.
War may be the only alternative
remaining to us, but modern war is
nothing to be approached in carnival
spirit; it is an adventure in which we
risk all that we have in spiritual and
physical resources. That must never
be forgotten by the people in whose
hands the national destiny rests; it
must not be forgotten by the people
who will fight and pay.
A decision by the United States to
make war on Germany would outrank
in Importance any of the most critical
steps of our past century and half,
and the press cannot emphasize that
too strongly or too often. If we must
wage war, let it be as a people united,
not split by disputes over fundamental
principles between the executive and
the legislature. Hasty action might
we'll destroy that essential unity.

THE BASEBALL
CAP
MRS. M. M. STURGIS

Today, my husband, who is mer-
chant, came home with thoughtful
and pleased expression on his face,
and said, MARY, l have just observed
one of the finest examples of parental
guidance in character development
that it has ever been my pleasure to
witness"
l asked him to tell me about it, and
this is the story he related.
yesterday the high school princi-
pals little boy came into the store
and asked to see the baseball caps.
l showed them to him, and he was
greatly pleased with the twenty-five
cent ones. But when he heard the
price his small face fell, for he hadn't
that much money to spend.
"'Havent you any for twenty-five
cents?' he asked hopefully. you see,
sir, that's all the money l have. Maybe
you could find one somewhere that
is worth just that much
"'Sorry, old chap l said, but we
don't have any twentytwo-cent ones
today. These are all we have, and
they are twenty-five cents EACH
"He looked somewhat crestfallen for
a moment, then frightened up per-
ceptibly as he said eagerly, Would
you let me take one home if l gave
you these twenty-five cents now and
brought in the other three cents Sat-
urday?'
81 said that l would be glad to
make that arrangement, and he left
the store with the coveted cap in his
possession.
"This afternoon he came in again
and gravely laid the extra three cents
on the counter l said, We'll, how do
you like your new cap by this time?'
and he answered, 4 like it fine, but
] haven't worn it yet. l don't think
my father and mother liked very well
to have me buy it without having the
money to pay for it. They put it
away and said | must first earn the
extra three cents which | owed and
come and pay my bill here before l
could wear it and call it my own
"Then he looked up earnestly and
said, Il had to wash dishes three
times to get the money to pay for the
cap,' and heaving small sigh, I'm
sure glad that's over Then, as he
smiled rather roguishly, 4 guess
had better wait until l have enough
money next time
"T think that's very good plan,'
| answered.
GAS he was leaving the store he
called back over his shoulder brightly,
'Oh, boy! Pm sure going to enjoy
wearing that cap today
"'Pretty good logic for seven
year-old boy said l to myself, 'and
what splendid way his parents chose
to help him come to that conclusion!" "

Is Freedom
Worth The Price?
By RUTH TAYLOR

Perhaps better than any other
group Labor knows that there is
nothing without its price-that any
thing worth having costs in some way
or another Labor has been close to
realities all it's days, and now when
the fight for freedom is waging, La
Dor knows that the full measure will
be demanded for that freedom.
The price Of freedom has always
been high. The early pioneers who
settled this great land of ours paid
dearly in hardships and privations for
the right to live as free men. Theirs
was constant struggle and story
of day by day sacrifice. Later they
had to enrude a civil war in order to
bring unity to the country as a whole,
as well as freedom to all men. Since
that time, we have grown and prog
ressed as no other nation in the world.
| We have come to take our freedom
for granted. But now there has come
the hour Of reckoning. As nation, we
are face to face with the problem Of
whether freedom is worth the price
! IL 10 SoIIS ~ SOSb 10.
Labor knows that freedom is worth
any price. 1t has seen how in the en-
slaved nations trade unions were the
second group to be wiped out. The
Jews were the first group to go, yes
but Organized Labor was always
next. Labor has no illusions as to its
| slave status in totalitarian set-up.
1t has seen the price that British La
Dor is willing to pay to fight on under
the greatest handicap that can come
to man-the destruction of his home
and family.
Labor knows that only in cooper
alton is there strength, that the only
real weapon against the RECOMMENDATION
of totalitarianism is the solidarity of
unified action-each individual work
ing as free man for the good of his
fellow citizens.
The price of freedom is rising. 1t
will cost in money, for there must
be taxes to pay for the needed arm
aments and the training of men. 1t
will cost in luxuries, for we will have
to give up many things to which we
have grown accustomed. 1t will cost
in time, for we must bend all of our
energies to the one end Of making
our country so strong that the enemy
cannot penetrate our defense, either
from without or from within. 1t will
take its toll in patience, courage, and
long suffering, but-and here is the
great difference between the cost of
freedom and the cost of blind subser-
vience--it will not cost our liberties
Though we may willingly, even glad
ly, set them aside under the exigencies
of the moment, we will reserve the
right to insist on them again once the
, emergency has passed. We will re-
, main free men in free nation, with
full liberty Of conscience and full
, rights of citizenship
Labor has already answered the
question troubling the minds of fearful
men-"Is freedom worth the price ?"
and its answer is and should always
bean emphatic YES!!

LIKE TO KNOW WHY

Chicago..-Motorists don't object to
stringent traffic regulations, even
when they are arrested for violations,
if they know why the rules We're
made. This is one of the conclusions

ande reported to the international City
Managers Association. Six hundred
persons were questioned to secure re-
actions of the general public" to traf-

Nuzi Win Threat
To All America
Holds Most Dear
Hitler Record And Aims
Make Talk Of "Foreign
War" Sound Silly
BY CHESTER NJ. WRIGHT


What is all this talk about "for-
eign war;"
What is all this talk about a war
that is "none of our business ?"
What is all this talk about keeping
out and then trying to live with the
nations that remain alive after it is
over?
What is all this talk about living
side by side with a victorious Nazi
world?
Let us quite quizzlng about it!
Here are some things to think
about:
In Germany and in every country
conquered by the Nazis, the books of
free people have been burned and none
today dare to have them or to read
them.
You can read all of the great books
Of literature, including those written
in pre-Nazi Germany, but you cannot
read them in German. In Germany
they are dead and gone, their ashes
scattered to the winds that must
mourn their going.
x X X
In nations dominated by the Nazis
there are no free unions. Instead,
great union leaders lie beneath the
sod, their tortured bodies freed from
agony. In a Nazi nation William
Green would not be alive. There is
no question or argument about wages
or working conditions.
The labor boss, Ley, issues his de-
crees and everyone obeys, or dies
Workers are enslaved-forced labor is
all there is!
The labor leaders of Germany, or
Norway, Of France, of Belgium and
Holland-of a dozen nations-have
gone and with them have gone all Of
the unions of workers. Their great
homes have been seized or destroyed
They are no more. Only physical and
spiritual remain.
The voices of Leon Johaux, or Mar
tens of Belgium, of all of the men who
once spoke and won victories for the
common man are stilled under the
steel of Nazi military might.
x X X
No longer is the Jew human being
in those nations, SO bitterly twisted
out of semblance to what they once
were.
Nor does the Catholic walk abroad
free to worship as his church teaches
him.
City streets and country byways are
strewn with the stains of their bleed
ing and dead bodies.
Professionalism is no more fortunate
or Free
The great twin freedoms, those of
intellect and conscience, have been
put to the wrack. Men and women
dare not speak or write Or read as
they like, nor may they even listen to
what they would hear.
Brute force, stalking behind the
strangest bastardy of philosophy that
ever saw the light of day, says to
every human being, "You may do
only as you are ordered to do. All
else is verboten!"
And so it is.
X X X
And commerce, too. Nazis do not
use commerce as a means of making
| life richer, as a way of exchanging
goods. They use commerce as a
weapon of destruction. They do not
make commerce. They wage COM
| merce.
They wage commerce against the
United States, as a war measure, so
that the Nazi march Of victory may
continue in this hemisphere!
Every social, immoral physical,
mental, economic and military force
and factor have been mustered to kill
democracy, everywhere!
And can it be true, then that this
is foreign war, with no meaning or
concern for us? 1t is the falsest
thing that ever was said to lure a
people in drugged slumber to its
| doom!

While he WCuld nave to keep

be should be able to reinforce ms

be a tremendous military operation
to open that paythWay TO the Near

British might be round fighting with
the Russians.
Hitlcrs more likely objective
would be to take all the northern
Caucasus and cncircle Rostov from
north and south; then to drive
eastward towards Stalingrad and

would entail occupation of the Do
