RUSSIAN FRONT:
4 Pledge

If the Russian soldier can fulfill
his pledge to Josef Stain, 1912 will
see the final defeat of Adolf Hitler's
military might. For from Moscow
came the report that Russian SOL
diers all along the 2,000-mile Ger
man front had taken an oath to
make this the final year of the war.
Meanwhile other Russian dis
patches told of a strong drive by
Marshal Timoshenko's Red army of

RESOURCES:

Strong opposition to the war de-
partment's plan to lower the draft
age to Is or 10 was seen in congress
as Louis B. Hershey, national selec-
tive service director, instructed
state draft directors to include men
of the 20 to 81 and SO to A groups
in the June calls.
At present the army and navy both
are accepting voluntary enlistments
Of ID and 19-year-old youths. Lower
ing the minimum draft age would
make approximately $500, 900 young
men eligible for CONSUMPTION.
An alternate plan was suggested
by Sen. Claude Pepper of Florida.
This would call for the pre-draft
military training for those less than
20 years old. Success of either pro-
posal depends largely upon the war
departments ability to convince the
house and senate military commit
tees that they have exhausted mill

YOUR NEWSPAPER A
BULWARK OF UNITY

. THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS of
America, those published in COM
munities of a few hundred to few
thousand people, constitute one of
Americas important institutions.
Their editors of an earlier day pio-
neered from ocean to ocean. They
aided materially in building commu-
mites and in developing those commu-
mites into market places and cultural
centers. They were, and are, the
spokesman for rural America. Pro
lection for the town and farm home
is their province. They are listened
to, and their views are respected in
the legislative assemblies of the
land. In these days of national peril,
they, collectively, are bulwark for
national unity, maintaining the cour-
age and patriotism of rural Amer
lea. They are safe, sane and sensi-
BILE, and stand four square for the
America of yesterday, today and
tomorrow.
THE YOUNG WOMAN STENOG-
RAPHER in Cleveland whose $25 a
week salary was augmented to the
extent of SAC, 900 by bonus, must
feel exceptionally patriotic. That
bonus was paid out of profits the
company that employs her made
out of war contracts. Who gave them
a contract that would permit of such
profits?
THE AMERICAN SOLDIER and
sailors idea of what they are fight
ing for is the preservation of our
form of government and our way
of life and standard of living.
WHAT AN INSPIRATION to live
in small town where one can watch
the trucks of the farmers rolling by,
carrying food to the market places
of the world. One realizes the i'm.
portance of the place the American
farm occupies in this terrific world
conflict. Without the farmer, the
soldier and the artisan could no,
carry on.
THE CLOSED SHOP, the forcing
of American workmen to pay trib-
ute for the privilege of working, will
in no way contribute to the winning
Of the war.

RELIGIOUS REVIVAL :,
AND AMERICA

ABOUT A YEAR AGO Daniel j.
Schuyler, Chicago attorney, said to
me:
"What America needs most is
great religious revival. 1t would
arouse our sense of responsibility
as nothing else could"
At the time / wrote a piece about
that statement which appeared in
this column.
In something of the same vein,
81 citizens of Dinwiddie county, Vir-
GINA, addressed a statement to the
general public through the columns
of the Southside Virginia News at
Petersburg, Va.
That statement calls for a prayer
full appeal by the people for Divine
guidance and spiritual support that
will enable us, as people, to carry
on in these days of conflict with the
forces of evil.
That appeal represents the Chris
tan virtues for which we are fight
| ing. It's 81 signatures are of all
| types of ADMINISTRATORS, farmers,
merchants, doctors, workmen, pub
lie officials, lawyers, bankers and
others. It is truly representative,
not alone of the people of Dinwiddie
county, Virginia, but of the people
of every county in every state. We
are Christian nation, and it is well
that we make public acknowledge
ment of our dependence upon Divine
| guidance.

Episcopal Church In America.
He rendered conspicuous service
not only In the parish he served for
nearly 18 years, but he took an out
standing and conspicuous part in all
the concerns Of the church, and
beyond its borders exercised a wide
influence. His service as chaplain
of the United States Senate was In
every sense notable one. Few
men, II any, who have served that
great body as chaplain have been
held in deeper affection than he.

I'VE have to solve the problem OF

"It means that those capable Of
doing more or better work in some
other job must be upgraded. It
means also that we will have to
forego all of the 1uxuries and many
of the so-called necessities of our
present life"
Earlier, Gen. Hershey told man

Gen. Hershey said there soon will
be more jobs to do than there will
be men, women and children to do
them" and predicted critical labor
shortage might be reached by next
October.
Gen. Hershey said that men with
dependents need not expect to be
called for military duty before 1943.

Legations Raised

BiddIe Nominated as
Ambassador to Morse
And Dutch Governments

As recognition of the ''unfalter-
able determination of the Norwegian
people and their king to restore
their freedom" the United States
today announced that the invaded
country's diplomatic representation
has been raised from ministership
to an ambassadorship.
> President Roosevelt sent to the
Senate the nomination of Anthony
j. Drexel Biddle, jr., who has been
Minister to the Norwegian govern
ment. to become Ambassador, and
Minister Wilhelm Munthe de Nor
genstierne will be raised to the
status Of an Ambassador here.
MIR. Roosevelt also sent to the
Senate the nomination Of Mr..
Biddle to become Ambassador to
the government of the invaded
Netherlands. Both governments
have their headquarters in London
at present. The State Department
already had announced that the
Netherlands government would have
an Ambassador in the future in
stead Of Minister.
Heroic Feats Praised.
For two years the annals of the
age-old struggle of free men to pre-
serve their liberties have been en-
riched by the heroic feats of Nor
wegian men, women and even chill
dren in their unrelenting resistance
to the vicious German invaders who
now occupy their country" the
State Department said concerning
Norway.
"Assailed from without by over
whelming military force and be-
trayed from within by a handful of
traitors headed by a man whose
very name has become synonymous
with perfidy, the Norwegian people
and their King have nevertheless
been unfalterable in their determi-
nation to restore their freedom.
Accordingly, as an indication Of
the Importance which this Gov
ernment attributes to the participa-
ton of the Norwegian government
and of Norwegians throughout the
world in the war effort of the
United Nations, the President has
proposed to the King of Norway
that henceforth the two countries
exchange diplomatic representatives
with the rank of Ambassador. The
King of Norway having agreed to
the Presidents proposal the Presi-
dent has today sent to the Senate
the nomination of the Hon. Anth-
ony j. Drexel Biddle, jr., who has
twice served as American Minister
to Norway, as first Ambassador of
