BY HAZEL BRANNON

There is a great deal of discussion
about who and what is going to win
the war.
Food will win the war"
Production will win the war"
Labor will win the war;
Everybody agrees we are going
to win the war but there's certainly
a lot of argument on how we are GO
ing to win it. Each group tries to
show where il is the most import
ant.
The plain truth is fighting men
will win the war. The home front
must be depended upon for produc-
ton of arms and munitions and
food. We cannot win the war with
out that home front functioning to
supply the men in the armed forces.
But the home front alone will not
and cannot win the war.
Men have already died in this war
a great many American men.
More American men will die in this
war tlan any war in which this coun-
try has ever engaged. Not until
more men have died and sorrow has
touched the hearts of all of us will
the people get their hearts in the war
In truth the people have not yet
had their hearts in this war. The
American participation in the war
to date has been so tied up with the
New Deal social reform that we
have had our minds and hearts on
domestic issues rather than on real
ly fighting.
1t is sad that American people
will have to become drenched in
the blood of their loved ones dying
on the battlefield before they will
come to their senses and demand
an end to the Washington method
of waging war F.. a method design
ed to perpetuate the New Deal and
its labor backing regardless Of the
cost to men at the fighting frone
q method that entails taking
care Of the political front at home
and leaving little effort and energy
for the fighting forces. .
