Last week we tuned in on the short
wave broadcast from Berlin. The
Nazi broadcaster was allegedly read
ing from a communique issued by
| General Macarthur to prove, as he
said, by the very language of the
communique that we took bad lick

Said the Nazi: Yesterdays COM

read as follows: Port Moresby this
morning was violently attacked by sea
and air, doing considerable damage"
The inference, of course, was that
the United Nations fleet fled the scene
after the Coral sea battle, leaving the
Japs in full possession of the waters,
also that the raids did great damage.
We looked up the Macarthur COM
munique referred to, and, of course, it
had no resemblance to the commune
que as broadcast by the Nazi radio.
There was no mention whatever of an
attack on Port Moresby by sea, and
instead of the attack doing consider

damage resulted"

easily be deceived.

saved, but who neglected to inform us
what method should have been used
to save this fort and its valiant de
tenders, are trying in very subtle
manner to discredit President Roose
welt. Not because we lost Corregidor
as they would have us believe, but be-
cause the President in his last radio
address, suggested that incomes
should be limited to $4,000 per year.
An editorial in the morning paper
of May 8, would have us believe, that
limiting incomes would be quite ridic-
ulous and that the proper way to f.
nance this war is by increasing taxes
on millions of small wage earners, as
these small wage earners were much
more able to pay than those with
large incomes.
They of course know. that the wage
Garner, in all past wears, has been
called upon to do the fighting and
then compelled to pay the bill, so they
were greatly surprised, when the
President suggested that this war
should be financed by all of us, the
rich, as well as the poor.
The writer in this editorial of May
8, in referring to these scions of
wealth, also informed us that (quote)
They have large estates to maintain.
They sustain many people in the per-
sonal service industries, who will be
thrown out Of work if these incomes
of more than $4,000 per year are
arbitrarily cut off,"
Imagine these people shedding tears
because some one might be thrown
out of employment; that sure is ridic-
ulous. Are they not aware of the fact
that by fall we will be faced with an
acute labor shortage and that there
will be more jobs than there are work
ers to fill them.
In regards to their inability to
maintain these large estates on a pal
try $4,000 per year, why not turn
them over to the Army and Navy, to {
be used as hospitals and recreation
centers, for our armed forces Would
it not be much better to have Amer
lean patriots occupy these estates,
now, than to have them occupied later
on by Japanese and German generals?
Of course they will say that this is
some form of socialistic or commun-
lstfc government. Well what form of
government is it that has the power
to conscript the bodies Of the flower
Of our manhood, to fight this war and
then inform them that they must also
pay the expense, as the rich have
other uses for THEIR money.
We are in life and death struggle,
IN the outcome of which depends our
very existence, and at such a critical
line there should be no high or no
ow, no rich or no poor, just plenty of
rood red-blooded Americans, ready
md willing to give their all, so we
nay continue OUR WAY OF LIFE"
