How Started

The Bakers had some peony
roots given them by a friend
who was moving to a new home
and when they saw how well
the plants grew in their heavy
soil. they decided IL was Just
right for peonies and so bought
additional varieties.
Last June Mrs. Baker exhib-
tied her peonies for the first
time at the Farm and Garden
Flower Show in Birmingham
and OF six entries she received
FIVE awards. How's that for a
FIRST time?
There's rare story con-
nected with that show and also

j. S. Better Prepared Than in 1917;
Army, Navy, Air Forces Stronger

Outbreak of shooting war in the
Pacific found the United States bet
ter prepared than it had ever been
before at the opening of hostilities
it is reported by James Free, in
the Chicago Sun.
The Navy, which had only about
10000 men when this country en-
tered the World War, according to
the Sun, now has 311,S61. And
Secretary Knox asserted recently
that ION any comparable basis the
United States Navy is second to
none"
The Army, which in 1917 consist
ed Of only 100000 men, today has
a total strength of approximately
100000 men. And with the back
ing of the worlds largest arma-
ment production machine, the
Army is fast being transformed
into a mobile, hard-hitting force.
1t now has five armored divisions
and another is in process of or
ganization.
Comparison of naval power with
that of 1917 is difficult in the lar

F. D. R. WAS RIGHT

No newspaper cOlumnist has
more angrily detested and suspect
ed most of the internal operations
of the New Deal than Westbrook
Pegler, noted author and Pulitzer
Prize winner Equally no news
paper cOlumniSt more admires
now the tenacious bravery of
President Roosevelt in his war pol
icy than this same author of many
criticisms of the Roosevelt Admin
istration.
In one of the most recent of his
syndicated columns, entitled Fair
Enough" appearing in the Wash
ington Post, Mr.. Pegler refers to
Mr. Roosevelt as the lone man who
is responsible for the vast improve
ment of the military fitness Of the
United States, achieved from a
standing start after the invasion
Of the Low Countries, never for
an instant faltered in his determin-
alton to get the American Nation
in shape to meet the inevitable "
Long before the war began with
the sneak-punch invasion of Cath
olic Poland" writes Mr.. Pegler,
the President had made his own
decision that Adolph Hitler was de-
termined to see the German nation
loose, armed beyond the poor,
dumb power of Britain's military
men or the best of ours to imag-
inc, in a campaign to enslave Eu-
rope and conquer the United States,
Having made up his mind on the
basis of plain evidence, Mr.. Roose-
welt determined that this country
The Hagerstown globe., 1942-01-02

must fight for its life against Hit
Ter and Japan and set about Great
ing war psychology in the Amer
ican people so that we would not
be caught entirely unprepared spir-
itually or entirely unarmed.
All the way from the hour
when he first realized that war
with Hitler was inevitable down to
the moment when HitIer's ally in
the Pacific suddenly bombed a
sleeping American city, Mr.. Roose-
welt stood by his conviction, often
under conditions which could have
made weaker man give ground
and look for excuses.
Through it all, Mr.. Roosevelt
fought on toward a vindication
which came in the dawn of Sun
day in the Pacific.
But he was right all along and
doggedly brave in times when he
fought almost alone to make the
people recognize their enemy and
prepare to fight, and the final
proof of his wise courage was
given by the enemy himself Sun
day morning."

ton, but figures for destrOyers and
submarines - vital vessels in the
prevailing hit-and-run type of sea
fighting are significant. On
July 1, 1917, this country had only
So destroyers in commission. To-
day it has 10. On the same date
and year, the American Navy boast
ed "A submarines as compared
with a total Of 113 today.
Aircraft never before has played
a major role in this nations wars,
but current official figures are
comforting. Latest available in
formation on the Navy, contained
in KnoX's annual report as of July
l, 1941, was that it had 1926
planes. And the most recent Army
revelation, by General George c..
Marshall, chief of staff, in testi-
mony before the House Appropria-
tions Committee on NOV IS, was
that this branch has about $500
combat planes on hand. These
two added five a total of 1926 for
the armed forces of the L. S. And
the current total probably is high
er, because the Navy undoubtedly
has built up it's strength since

THE NEGRO PRESS OF TO-DAY

The Negro press has now
definitely passed its initial
period Of experiment, Of evan
gelism, and of missionary
zeal, and is now approaching
a professional standard which
approximates and, at times,
surpasses that Of the white
country daily or weekly. As
the Louisville Leader conf
n1ented editorially or the oc-
casion Of celebrating its tWen-
tieth anniversary in its issue
Of December 3, 1887, The
journalistic infant of yester-
day is nearly full-groWn today
and the reading public is be-
ing served by Negro neWspa-
pers, magazines and bulletins
financed by Negro capital,
made and set-up by Negro
printers and linotypers, and
put on the streets and into the
mail from Negro publishing
houses, manned with up-to-
date skilled printing and pub
fishing operatives. /"
The Dayton forum. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1913-1949, 1942-12-04

The Negro papers are cred
liable reproductions Of their
white contemporaries. Some
of them are well written and
properly edited, perform their
news and advertising func-
tions serviceably, and present
a tolerably passing typo
graphical appearance. The
larger publications like the
Pittsburgh Courier, the Chi
cago Defender, and the Balti-
more Afro-American, whose
combined Audit Bureau of
Circulation was close to 3OO,-
900 a week in 1941, are ma
tionally circulating Weeklies
with a distinct metropolitan
aspect, while the best news
papers the Amsterdam Star

new dynamic weekly started
in 1912 in New York after the
model PM, a militant, progress
sive, and laborite white daily
printed in tabloid form) per-
form their news function as
capably as many of the out
standing white dailies. In
1910, there were 158 newspa-
pers. SO religious, fraternal,
college, and other miscellan-
cous publications, and 129
magazines and bulletins, MAX
ing a total of 339 Negro peri
cdicals. All but seven of these
were weeklies, and these COM
pared favorably, on the whole,
with their white rivals.
The Champion of the Negro
Cause
The Negro press arose out
of the dire need for racial
leadership, and hence it is only
natural that it is strictly rae
ial even to this day. liz fact,
it's success is due to it's being
racial, supplementing as it
does the service rendered by
the white press. In general,
it is interested in news that
touches the Negro, and rarely
if ever, pays any attention to
news that has no racial sig
nificance. The kidnapping Of
the Lindbergh baby, one Of
the biggest stories Of the
American press, was hardly
noticed by the Negro press
until it was reported that q
Negro had found the body Of
the Lindbergh baby. Dizzy"
