Stalingrad still holds! What
rallying cry for free men in ever
land! What strength to carry O.
against the inhuman machination
of the Axis powers is given to al
who love liberty and justice b
these three words-Stalingrad still
holds! Despite the assaults of /,
100000 picked shock troops led b,
the infamous Butcher" Book, tn
steady pounding by 1000 Stukas
the constant shelling by thousand
of siege guns - Stalingrad still
holds! When Hitler is only a bal
memory, and his Nazi legions hav
long moldered into dust, the brave
the superhuman defense of Stain
grad, will be told and retold-o
how men young, and men aged, wo
men, and even. children, took tt
the barricades, and fought off a su
perior force both in men and equip,
ment for weeks on end. He who
dies to preserve liberty of mar
does not die in vain; his Sacrifices
will not pass unnoted-his death
agony will be avenged. Brave peo-
pie of Stalingrad, liberty lovers the
world over salute you-your fight
shall be their fight-to be won, moi
lost.

r. According to press dispatches
pouring into every. newspaper Of
fee in the country, the Japanese
who have paid SO dearly for every
attempted blow at Uncle Sam since
the dismal day of Pearl Harbor
are having a hard time attempting
to save face in the Solomons. Those
super soldiers of the land, sea anC
air-the United States Marines
are giving the ''Nips" a real beat.
ing. Admiral Blandy has stated we
are prepared to meet the best the
Japs can offer and then dish oui
some real punishment ourselves
and the events of the past few days
certainly bear out the Admiral's
statement.

ALL MUST PAY FOR WAR
The Economic Policy Committe
of the American Bankers Associa
tion recently published a bookle
on Treasury war borrowing whic
deserves wide reading. The book
let points out that the Treasur
should borrow from these groups
in this order:
First, and best, from the curren
income of individuals.
Second, from idle money in tn
hands of non-bank holders.
Third, from the commercis
banks.
Fourth, and worst, from the Fed
eral Reserve System.
ut is in the interest of the banks
the enterpriser, the worker, tn
farmer and everyone else who sui
fers from the blight of infiatio
that every possible dollar be boz
rowed from the first source" tn
booklet adds.
In short, the people must pa
for this war. No one else can pa
for it for them. And the peopl
who are benefiting most from wa
are the working groups. The grea
bulk Of excess purchasing power
in their hands. So far, they hav
not borne, by any means, thei
proper share of the tax load. An
that in itself is a powerful infa
tionary influence.
The banks are doing their job
but they can't do it all by a lon
shot. 1t is time everyone realize'
that.
