hampered by the heavy pounding

NAILS INTENSITY PRESSURE
The Stalingrad reports said the
Germans had not changed their
tactics on the front and that Nazi
assertions to that effect were con-
tradicted by all battle reports.
These reports said that the Ger.
mans were attacking with "supe-
rior numbers" in the northwesterr
part of Stalingrad and that Russ
sian defense forces were under
heavy pressure to halt the Nazi
thrust toward the Volga. 1t was
the forty-sixth day of the siege

Another Nazi assault was devel-

two tank columns were nosing

The cost of rescuing five sailors
from the sinking aircraft carrier

as they led her husband to his cell.
FOUR BALLOTS TAKEN
Said Jennings. a Detroit Edison
Company employe:
'Tt WAS quite n battle. In

Jennings said the verdict was
based partly on the testimony of

who described how he kicked

belief that "a man in public Office
should not take money IN that

FINISHING TOUCHES

"The finishing touches will be

Informed quarters in the British
capital pointed out, however. that
until front line dispatches confirm
that German infantry have been
withdrawn from street fighting at
Stalingrad the NaZi radio an

These circles, on the other hand,
stated that the Nazi broadcast
may have served TO give the Ger

the effort to conquer Stalingrad
may have to be abandoned.
The German military command

TREAT THEM AS ENEMIES

Farmers, particularly those who will soon put in an expanded
beet acreage, are debating the question of Japanese labor,
whether it should be imported from the coast.
There are two schools of thought among those with whom
we talk. All ire agreed upon one point that within six
months we may be glad to get any farmer labor we can. There
is no question about that. There is also no question that many
or these aliens OF an enemy country are good farm workers.
The question of treatment of these people brings up some
debate.
But experiences in other sections of Montana lead us to believe
that II we do have such labor importations from the west
coast a thorough and systematic method of surveillance and
confinement should be established over these people. We have
Just heard a story about an alien in another community, which
we have verified, that would be shocking if it could be told.
1t served with us to quicken the conviction that such aliens
should all be treated alike, for the security of our country and
tor maximum advancement of our war effort. We cannot
afford to trust any Of them.
The need for a practical viewpoint was expressed recently
by J. R. Larcombe in the Phillips County News, when he said.
II w re going defeat these determined enemies of urs it is
daily booming more obvious that we must adopt some of their
methods. The Hitler breast doubtless harbors a feeling of
something less than love for the French, the Belgians, the
Norwegians but if reports are reliable he is using them in
every imaginable way to aid his war machine He ism t
letting personal prejudice interfere with the practicalities of a
death struggle Hate the Jap if you will, but also admit that
that this region is going to need if it is to continue al a sub
stantal section of the nations breadbasket."
But if Japanese labor is placed on farms, it should be under
guard and paid for according to established international agree
ment. All such aliens when not working should and must be
kept confined just as they r. in alien camps throughout the
country. We can't risk taking chances any more.

AN EXAMPLE FOR NON-HYsTERIA

We liked the presidents talk Monday night. We liked it not
so much for what he said but for the general tone of his saying
it. He took a courageous stand, it seemed to us, and while
he did not minimize the dangers ahead for US, even the
probability of more setbacks, he did set an example in his
calm delivery for some people, who have been running about
since the fall of Singapore in a state bordering hyseria.
We hope he takes steps to activate his renewed promise
that he will allow release of news that will not be an aid to
the enemy. Our own experience, and that of other newspaper
men, has been that there is no fixed or common-sense policy
about censorship. Some horse sense will be needed. This
matter of censorship ultimately may become as important as
any phase of our war effort. Britain found it so; so far we
appear to have learned little from that countrys experience.
The presidents references to production were encouraging.
AS we said last week, we hope it will be possible to release at
least some of the facts concerning it, about the great job being
done by the motor manufacturers at Detroit, what Westbrook
Pegler now calls Detroit times two" and the conversion of
such plants as Henry Fords titanic Rouge establishment. Now
the factor. is time and it depends on the unremiting and united
efforts of industry and labor. We could be beaten. l.

FARMERS UNION WANTS FLOOR"

Our contention made editorially several weeks ago that if thu
small farmer is to have a ceiling" fixed for the price of hi
products, he also should have a floor" or minimum price as
Union.
A press release from that organization relates that James C.
Patton. national Farmers Union president. and M. w. Thatcher,
chairman of its national legislative committee. met with the
president earlier this month and urged just such a policy.
In its words, The discussion with the president took as its
theme agricultural prices and incomes, Messrs. Thatcher and
Patton telling him that ceilings did not mean a thing on
commodities of which there was a big surplus and that on
most commodities what they wanted was minimum prices guar
anteed, or a floor"
If the farmer is to be urged to all-out production, with the
attendant risks that a glutted market may bring, he must have
that floor to protect the whole agricultural industry from chaos.
We are happy that an influential farm organization is advocat-
ing this policy in Washington, for it will now receive attention
from high officials in the department Of agriculture.
