PARITY:
Fight Goes On

Farm, church and labor groups
united in move to back President
Roosevelt against a legislative bloc
which is opposed to the administra-
TONS plan to sell government-owned
wheat and corn below parity prices.
In a letter to the White House,
these groups said that the success Of
the Presidents program for farm
security in this regard was essen
tial for the winning Of the war.
Included in the groups backing
the letter were the National Farm
ers union, the American Federation
of Labor, the Congress Of Industrial
Organizations, the Railway Execu-
tives association, the National Cath
Ole Rural Life conference and the
Federal Council of the Churches Of
Christ in America.
This joint move was believed to
be part of a plan being set up in
opposition to the thigh price through
scarcity" concept backed by the
American Farm Bureau federation,
headed by Edward A. O'Neal. The
Farm Bureau federation is reported
to have been successful in withhold
ing approval of the Presidents for
mula for selling government-owned
wheat and corn at IS per cent Of
parity.

JAP FOOTHOLD:
On Kiska Island

Japan gained second foothold in
the Western hemisphere when forces
were put ashore at Kiska island to
establish a base on that Aleutian
island less than 900 miles from the
navy's base at Dutch Harbor.
The Japanese, operating under
cover Of fog, were able to establish
their base. The occupation was not
surprise. Kiska is approximately
IT'S miles east of Attu island, which
the navy announced on June IL had
been occupied by the Japanese. A
break in the weather within the past
few days enabled discovery of the
occupation Of Kiska.
A navy communique said that
'Tents and minor temporary struc-
lures were observed to have been
set up on land" Kiska has a fair
harbor, the site Of former coaling
station for ships. Attu has few
facilities for ships Of any size.
In Honolulu, Lieut.. Gen. Delos C..
Emmons has urged all non-resi-
dents not engaged in essential war
work to leave for the mainland as
soon as practicable and at the same
time warned that Japan might at
tack Hawaii at any time.

TAXATION PROGRAM:
Behind Schedule

To ease the taxpayers burden in
1913, the treasury department pro-
posed to congress a modification Of
its plan to withhold federal taxes
at the source. Under the plan the
treasury would collect per cent Of
the taxable income starting on
January l, 1913, instead Of 10 per
cent, would collect is per cent in
1914, and 10 per cent in 1915.
Earlier the treasury department
proposed a 100 per cent war super
tax" to carry out President Roose-
velt's recommendations for limita-
ton Of individual income to $25, 1000
year after payment of all taxes.
The President told the press that
taxation provisions Of his anti
imitation program were running
slightly behind schedule and that,
in his opinion, the bill should be
split into sections in order to get
part Of it into effect as soon as
possible.

RUSSIAN FRONT:
Increased importance

With the fall of Tobruk in Libya
the fighting on the Russian front
took on added importance for it
became increasingly clear that It
the United Nations were going to
fight Hitler to a standstill the Soviet
forces must continue to occupy the
major portion Of Nazi armed
strength.
Soviet soldiers were doing just
that. Even as the British were adj
hitting the loss Of their Libyan
stronghold, a report from Moscow
took the optimistic note that with
the continued material aid Of Brit
ain and the United States the Rus
slams would be able to hold out
against Germany.
While an official Russian commu-
nique admitted a German break
through at Sevastopol, Soviet troops
had blasted their way across the
Donets river in the critical Kharkov
area and recaptured number Of
localities in a terrific counter
attack. Earlier, two German regi-
ments with heavy air and tank sup
port had crossed the river in vio-
lent attack and forced the Russians
back.
The German success at Sevasto-
pol came only after huge losses, ac-
cording to the Russian official YER
sion which admitted: in the
Sevastopol sector of the front our
troops repealed repeated furious
German attacks. At a cost of enor-
nous losses the enemy succeeded
in driving wedge in our defensive
positions.

sions. Olives and celery must be
upon the table whenever there is
company. Friends in the hospital
must have flowers.
These are the niceties and lux
uries of living; we have accustomed
ourselves to them, and it is hard
to do without them. It is much
more pleasant to have nice girl in
cap and apron serving dinner, and
to be able to ignore the question Of
dishwashing and clearing after
ward, than to serve things up in a
scramble, with Molly running in and
out Of the pantry setting the ta-
BILE, and Mother cooking.
But none of these things is as
valuable as a spirit of peace. There
is no quicker way to Danish fear
and doubt than to get the home situ-
alton well in hand and to face the
future solvent and unafraid.
Solvency Is Freedom.
This is a war for freedom and
independence. Solvency is freedom:
being out of debt is independence.
It won't help you much, when the
world is free, and when we are all
rejoicing in the dawn of a new day,
to remember that during the war
you refused to adapt yourself, you
stumbled right on into deeper and
deeper debt and that, though Amer
lea has won, you have lost.
A Nashville woman writes me
this:
Last year we had three sons at
home, two working and contributing
to expenses, one in school. Now
two of them are drafted, the third
past IS and therefore eligible to the
draft, and my husband recently
stricken with a heart illness that
will mend slowly, perhaps taking
months to cure. This means that
from an income Of SGT week, plus
$40 each from the boys-more than
$3.50 a month in ALL am reduced
to whatever. Bud can earn, and even
that may presently disappear.
'But my people have always been
soldiers and pioneers, and am
proud to follow in their footsteps.
/ rented my home and moved into
a three-room apartment that ! get
for nothing, because am caretaker.
Not janitress, for there is good
janitor, but ! am expected to hire
elevator boys, answer complaints,
send for plumbers when necessary,
advertise empty apartments, sign
leases and so on.
81 advertised that a woman of
46, whose sons were called to the
service, would like to be given q
trial in any capacity that assured
her of home, and had five an
swers, of which this job was my
choice. Bud gets $40 week and
gives half to me for board; save
every cent of this, as the SIS get
for my home more than pays our
expenses.

WEST COASTS:
SHIELDED >

Almost four months to the day
after q submarine had shelled the
California coast, another u. S. state,
Oregon, felt the impact Of enemy
shells. The more recent Smelling
took place against the shoreline
north Of Seaside, Ore, just south Of
Astoria, at the mouth Of the Column
bia river.
The Fourth Army and Western
Defense command announced the
firing of six to nine shells by an un-
identified craft near the midnight
hour. No damage nor casualties
were reported. Although the army
did not Immediately identity the at
lacking vessel it was believed to be
Jap submarine. 49,
This conclusion was reached after
the Canadian government had an
nounced that about "a hours before
the Oregon attack q submarine had
landed shells at the government
telegraph station at Estevan Point,
Vancouver island.
This was the first time that an
enemy submarine had attacked
shore installations in Canada and
the first time in Canada's history
that enemy shells had landed on her
soil. Canadian officials said that
while one of the shells landed near
enough the telegraph station to
"shatter windows" the other mis-
sizes 'fell harmlessly on the beach"
The u. S. army's first brief an
nouncement. of the Oregon attack in
dictated that the firing had lasted
about Is minutes. Earlier residents
of Astoria had reported hearing be-
tween 10 and 16 shots fred at sea
and said they could hear the shells
whistle over head. Still another re-
port said that an Astoria resident
had sighted submarine off the
coast. Washington and Oregon had
dimouts of their coasts at the time
Of the attack.

WAR MANPOWER:
Staggering Total

The effect of the war upon every
day life was emphasized in state
ment Of the War Manpower COM
mission, which said that the goal
for men in the armed forces is six
to seven million men by the end of
1913, and Eventually may be 10
million.
BY 1914, at least 20 million work
ers will be needed in war produc-
ton and transportation. The 1S43
crop will be harvested by IL million
workers.
Chairman MacLean Of the Presi-
dents Committee on Fair Employ
ment Practice stated that in 1914
high school enrolment might be re-
duced by 40 to so per cent, college
enrolment by 70 to 80 per cent,
and half the nations schools may be
closed due to increasing needs for
war workers.

MORE ROYALTY:
In WASHINGTON

Second monarch in ten days to
visit Washington and hold CONVERSE
tons with President Roosevelt was
the l9-year-old boy king Of Jugo-
slavia, King Peter II. He arrived
in the capital by plane and was ac-
companied by Foreign Minister M.
Nintchich.
Main topics of discussion with the
President were Jugos1avia's unre-
lenting guerrilla warfare against
Germany and the effects Of a mas
ter lend-lease agreement for his
country which would provide for
after-the-war understandings and
collaboration.
King George II Of Greece had left
the capital before King Peter ar
rived and Queen Wilhelmina, ruling
head of the Netherlands, was on her
way to Washington, via Canada, at
the time.
