TO THOSE WHOM
WE OPPOSED

We preface our remarks to you with
the admission that we must have been
wrong about you. We hope we are. A
majority of the people believed so, and
it is our conception that the will of the
majority should be accepted by the minor
ity, where that will is freely expressed
after democratic consideration.
Our pledge to you is this-that we
make no distinction between you and
your conduct of the office given to you,
and those other successful candidates
whom we favored for election We shall
attempt to judge their conduct upon the
issues involved, instead of on a basis of
political considerations. We shall do the
same thing for you We shall give you
every help within our power when we
believe you are acting in the best public
interest; we shall oppose you as strongly
as we can when we believe you have
taken the wrong path.
We all have big job to do-one of the
biggest jobs in history We cannot do
that job if we hold old grudges and nurse
old political wounds. We've got to pull
together, work together, fight together
against common enemy. There is no
room in our workshop or on our battle
field for political party considerations.
From now until the next election, none of
US are Democrats and none of us are Re-
pubicans. We are Americans. God will
ing, we're going to blast the worlds enem-
les off the land and out Of the skes-and
that is going to take some doing. Every

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. ,UP) -
The War production Board today
prohibited all manufacture of safe
razors for civilian use and cut
output of blades to 80 per cent of
last years production.
The order, which is expected to
save approximately 800 tons of steel,

only for the armed forces, lend

will be ample razor blades for
civilians in 1943.

OPC SETS QUANTITIES

The way is works out now is that
every month the Office of the Pc
troleum Co-ordinator for War
makes recommendation to the oil
producing states as to the quanti-
ties that should be brought to the
ground to meet the expected de-
mand. The states in turn under
their prorationing laws determine
how much oil should be produced
in each field and from each well
in that field.
The states have their own PEN
alties for violations of these pro-
rationing orders, though the
states are not bound to accept
the production limitation made
by Washington. The federal
government, however, through the
Connally hot oil act, prohibits
interstate shipment of petroleum
produced in excess of state reg
ulation.
US. production is now running
around four million barrels a day
Maximum production this year has
been four and a quarter million
barrels a day, but that is by no
means the maximum that could
be produced if the prorationing
controls were lifted. Nobody knows
what US. production from wells
already drilled would be. if they
were permitted to produce all they
could. And if the country is faced
with a shortage of oil, the question
naturally arises as to why wells
already in production should not
be permitted to produce all they
can?

CAPITAL TALKS
by
Peter
Edison

A big buildup to increase the
price of crude oil is now being
waged. right smack in the face
of every effort to hold down prices
of everything 10 prevent initiation.
The argument ior the increase runs
something like. this:
There is a shortage of oil in sight
within the next two years due to
the heavy war demands which the
United Nations armed services
particularly the ar force = have
created for gasoline. The stocks
of crude oil above ground have de-
clined from 1886 million barrels in
1885 to 300 million barrels in Oc-
tober 1887, to 244 million barrels
before Pearl Harbor to 238 million
barrels in October 1912. The stocks
are still decreasing, not only be-
cause of increased consumption and
demand. but also because of limi-
tation of oil transportation facili-
ties and restrictions on production
in some fields. In short, no oil re-
serve has been built up for war
purposes.
The remedy which the petrO-
leum industry suggests Is to do
more exploring for new oil fields
and bring in more new wells. To
pay for this exploration II is
Proposed that the price of crude
oil from wells already in produc-
tion be increased by some trifling
few cents barrel.
From other sources come other
arguments in opposition to the case
for an increase in the price of
crude. First and foremost is this
matter of restrictions on production,
begun back in NRA days and con-
tinued during the depression as
one means of stabilizing the price,
of keeping down excess production,
or maintaining production in bal
ance with demand.

PLAYING
WITH FIRE

christian Science Monitor)
Increasingly educators, physicians and
laymen are recognizing the fundamental
Importance of mental health. Many are
perceiving that disease which may ap-
pear wholly physical has mental causes.
But how rarely are such perceptions car
ried to logical conclusions? Witness the
decision to include the study of cancer
in high shoots announced in New York
City.
A report of the meeting at which the
announcement was made by Paul B.
Mann. first vice-president of the National
Association of Biology Teachers, says
that he warned against teaching the SUBJ
iect in such manner as to arouse fears
in the pupils" He pointed out that pic
turing the pathology of the disease
might affect the mental health of stu
dents" This shows an appreciation of
the effects of fear, but even from the
biologists standpoint, isn't this playing
with fire?
One can understand how such material
might be included in course in medical
school, but why impose it on high school
pupils? Those who seek by describing
cancer to prevent its spread undoubtedly
have a humanitarian purpose, but do they
not, even by medical standards, risk the
defeat of that purpose by inducing fear?

and more items each week we have
to shop from store to store in hope
that, by good chance, we shall find
one that still isn't sold out.
Fortunately the pinch is going to
be worse in the commodity fields
where it will do least real harm.
There is no overall shortage in
the raw materials for food and
clothing. Some items are scarce,
and some will disappear entirely
we won't have the wide selection of
brands, sizes, containers, ETC., to
which we have become accustomed.
AS we watch retail outlets dis
appear and shelves become bare in
those that remain, we can console
ourselves with the thought that =
however we are deprived by con-
trast with 1939-eferyoody in the
United States still can get more
of necessities, and will have more
of comforts, than the average man
had in 1914.

Imperial Valley press., 1942-11-04
TWO OBJECTIONS

Only objection raised against un-
limited production is that it might
lead to the exhaustion of the fields,
bleeding the oil fields, to death
sooner than sound conservation
practice calls for. A secondary ob-
lection is that if production con-
trolls are removed now, it will be
difficult to get them back after the
war is over.
Both points smack good deal
Of oil business as usual.
Taking time out to explore for
new fields is a gamble and fur
thermore it runs right into scarcity
of steel for casing and pipe even
if new wells should be found. Also,
if there is a transportation bottle
neck for petroleum products, why
discover new fields which will re-
1uire use of still more critical ma
terials for the construction of ad-
diticnal pipeline or other transpor-
tation facilities?
If prorating restrictions were
removed for the war, you might
see the price of crude oil go
down, thereby cutting the cost
Of the war instead of raising
it. as an increase in the oil price
would do.
The alternative TO having the
price for wildcatting paid by the
consumers in the form of an in
crease in the price Of crude oil
products is to have it paid by di-
rect government subsbty. Sonfe
ell men have testified that no, they
are too patriotic to want subsidies
-preferring the price increase in
stead-but Secretary of the Interior
Harold l.. Ickes has come out in
favor of subsidy.

WE
the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

She will never be cited for brav-
cry, but Mrs. Jones, civilian, has in
the last year shown courage under
trying conditions.
There was the time her son Jim,
the middle boy, told her he wanted
to quit college and enlist in the Air
Force. He was sure he would make
good flyer, and he wanted to get
at it.
Her first impulse was to offer
objections, to say Wait to plead
that her boy pick out spot that
sounded less dangerous to mother.
But she didn't. She let the boy
make his own decision. That was
courage. -
The day her third and last son
left for the Army was a bad day.
She thought, What is the use in
trying to be brave?" But she re-
membered how the boys father was
struggling to be cheerful and matter
-of-fact. He couldn't back down,
because he was man-and she
wouldn't either.
There weren't many things she
could debut she could help her
husband through the anxiety and
loneliness they shared. So she made
up her mind there would be no
crying, no blue spells-at least no
outward signs of any-and that she
would try as hard as she had when
her boys we're around to make a
happy, cheerful home. That was
courage.
BOYS GONE, SHE
TAKES WAR JOB
And now, since she really hasn't
enough to do to keep her bus%, and
since she is strong and in good
health and women are needed in a
war plant in her town, she has be-
come another war worker.
1t is the first job with a pay
check that she ever has held down
It is hard work. 1t would have been
easier to go ON making a full time
Job of her houseWork, filling in the
extra hours with busy work. But
she decided to tackle real job. AT
her age that took courage.
Since she never will be cited foi
bravery, and since there are thous-
ands of mothers in the country who
every day are showing equal cour-
age-this column is just to say
mice going, Mrs. jones'"

Most responsibility for keeping prices
down rests with the women of the family.
-WPB Chairman Leon Henderson.
Imperial Valley press., 1942-11-04

We civilians are just around the
corner from those shortages ABOUT
which there has been a lot OF talk
It will not be long now before we
shall be unable to buy items from
an increasingly long list OF lux
uries and comforts.
Official spokesmen have warned
that 100000 retail stores Will nave
to 90 out of business before the
end of next year, and that we con-
sumers will find ourselves back in
the dark days of 1888, when the
nations worst depression was at It's
lowest point.
Competent business economists
saw that even this gloomy predlc-
ton is too optimistic-that, in fact,
we are going back to the pre-World
War I era before many OF our now
accustomed gadgets first went IN
to mass production and became
available to the rank and file.
We have been warned about this
prospect time after time and then
have gone to the stores and found
il possible to buy anything Tor
which we had the money. After SO
many apparently false alarms some
o. us are bit indignant now that
the pinch begins to be felt.
We shouldn't be. The alarms
we're real. The warnings were
legitimate. They may have been
bit premature, but the intention
of that was to break the bad news
gradually.
The reason why, up to recently
we found plenty of everything in
the stores was that we were draw
ing upon a huge reserve stock. made
before factories began converting
to war production. But the stock
was not being renewed and now 1t
is getting dismayingly thin.
There still are lot of labor
saving, comlort-producing, even
luxury items to be had But as each
store cleans out its own reserve II

 T cannot praise the Navy too highly on this action Knox said. Great credit is due to Admirals Chester W. Nimitz, William F. Hsl- sey and Daniel ]. Callaghan and others. They not only drove supe- rior force from the field but they employed most daring type of &C., ton to accomplish this result.
 "As after the first round, Ameri- can forces are in undisturbed pos session of the area. They have caused the enemy severe losses. both as to ships and personnel.

 Knox said that both sides were rlsking a great deal for control cl Guadalcanal. He said the islands were near Allied lines of communi- cation which must be protected.
 Knox declined comment as to whether American forces had now obtained naval supremacy in the Pacific. He said that would be 6 matter of speculation.
 We don't know their true strength" he said. Al we know is that they were driven from the field We can lick em again We will eventually defeat them. I won't say in what action or when. but we will, ?
