TIE Z. S. A. MUST WIN THIS
WAR
The American People Must See to it
That Democracy Must Not Fail

The great world war that is now in
progress cannot last always. History
shows that there has been many wars,
however, this is the greatest and most
outrageous war that the world has
ever known.
The United States is the great de-
termining factor in this world strug-
gle. Now that we have entered the
war we must see to it that the DEM
ocratic way Of life must not fail. All
of US, irrespective of race, creed or
color must fight to save Democracy
1t is a fact that we have been a
wasteful nation and a wasteful people
because we live in a land Of plenty,
however, the time has come, the time
is now at hand that we must econo-
mize if the war is to be won. We
must lose sight of race prejudice and
race hatred. The black man must
forget about the white man per Sc and
the white man must forget about the
black man per Sc.
In this great struggle there must
be no white nor black There must
be no rich nor poor. There must be
no high nor low There must be no
great nor small. There must be no
little nor big. To win this battle
against the Axis powers we must con-
centrate our forces u. we must con-
centrate our energy and this conccn-
tration must be sincere. 1t must be
from the heart. When the editor was
a boy he very often heard this ex-
preston Beauty is only skin deep,
but ugly is to the bone" If we mean
to win this war, what we say, what |
we do and what we act must be from
the bone. s. /

operation of advisers who under

smoothness has not been fully at

Governments obligation to make
clear to the public in each impor-
tant instance the reasons which
impel it to ask purveyors of news
to put the fresh product into cold
storage and serve it only after it has
lost its bloom. This is not to deny
that such reasons in many cases
exist and are valid. But it is desir-
able for the people to feel and know
that their peacetime rights are being
curtailed only in the degree required
by considerations of the public in

made s2,5O0,0O0 payment to the
United States on account OF the
PWA advances, and later this year
will pay 100000 more on its Cap

Mr.. Fowler placed considerable
emphasis on the restraint which has
been used this year by the munich
pal departments in their requests
for funds for 1914 The requests,
including those for highway and
water services, now before the Com
missioners, total s56,916,430, or only
S602,579 more than appropriations
so far made for this fiscal year. Mr..
Fowler emphasized that this re-
quested total is roughly s70O0,000
below the average of the depart
ment's requests over the last five
years. when requests ran from $63,-
100000 to nearly sec, 100000. AS to
the 1914 requests, he said, the
modest proposals were occasioned in
part by the absence in the recon-
mendations of the Board of Educa-
ton Of any provision for construc-
ton of new school buildings. He

Fowler estimated the requests now
foreseen would total $52172 1897.
Deducting such sum from the to-
tai estimated revenue availability,
of $55 5.277, ,449, would leave an an
ticipated surplus in the general fund
at the end of the next fiscal year
of $3,l04,552 Mr.. Fowler said:
Possibility Of Emergency.
In these days of rapid change,
there is the ever-existing possibility
of additional emergency needs,
which If such needs materialize,
would reduce this surplus. In ad-
dition, this Office is requesting that

The Newark IN. J.) Evening News:
The trip from which the President
erciSed absolute control of all sources
of news. At the request of the White
House, newspapers and radio sur
pressed all news of this tour, of
which millions of people were aware.
After his brief taste of news
dictatorship he returned to Wash
ington impa tient with the free news,
free comment, more or less free in
tervieWing and free speech-making
that flourishes there. The presi-
Dental tour must be considered
harmful to the interests Of free
press. Not news suppression, but the
presidential attitude toward it Is
what is disquieting 1t seems
to us the President cannot fight
war and conduct a running fight
with the American press and radio,
or part of them, without hurting
both the war effort and general con-
fidence in great agencies of public
intelligence.
Waterbury Republican-The news
papers have no wish to do anything
that might endanger the safety of
the President. Yet within such
limit room may exist for somewhat
greater freedom than was permitted
during the past two weeks The
public as well as the newspapers has
an interest in the exploration of the
whole problem (of censorship, for
upon the decision that derives from
it may depend the amount and the
character of the news about the
war that will be forthcoming.
Newark Star Ledger-It is a mon
umental fact that thousands of
newspapers. any one of which feels
free to criticize the President in the
severest terms even in time of war,
were unanimous in keeping this
secret, voluntarily, because it was to
the country's best interests to do so.
The American press is not only free
but aggressive, and suspicious of all
men In places of power But the
American press balances its uniquely
privileged position with a sense of
obliga ton to uphold the way of life
out of which this free press has
grown.

And If you take his word for it,

provided a high light of cross

car and how careful he was not to
party. He used toy tank bor-
rowed from neighbor's children.
and toy truck, maneuvered on the
kitchen table.
Here I was" explained Mr.. Zy-
czynski, holding the tank near the
truck representing the Presidents
car.
Il wheeled up here (the tank
nosed past the truck and headed
away. Then turned and started
back (here the tiny tank circled
away from the truck and back

The mudhole was about here Cthe
tank made quick dart forward
about inches from the truck,
went into that nsldhole in a low
seed gear. If had gone in faster
that mud and water would have
smeared everybody in the Presidents
car.
Then I stopped the tank here
| land the toy miniature was only a

truck.
That's all there was to it. Every
thing was in order. There wasn't
any danger"
Mrs. Zyczynski declared it was the
first time she had had the whole
story from her husband, husky
individual who takes her out for
three or four hours of roller skating
for relaxation after II hours daily of
wrestling jolting tanks over the
Chrysler Corps difficult test course.
He came home and whispered
that the President had been out to

critics on the spot Was it we'll

of fictitious secrecy over the Jour-

reason is that the application of
