OUR COUNTRY, Your Country, is at War.
~ We are at war because Of q treacherOuS attack
by TOtalitarian Nation opposed to every ideal
Americans hold dear.
Democratic America is slow to arouse, but
when go to war 90 in to win. We must
win for nave our heritage Of Freedom our
legacy of independence at stake.
Moreover the freedom Of men and women in
all the Democracies OF the world hangs in the
balance in this war.
About war, total war, costs money The price
will be billions Of dollars and those billions Of
dollars must come from the pockets Of the Amer
ican people, your pockets. No price is too dear for
us Americans to pay for the right to live our way
of ltc cost is too great for the defense OF our
sacred Bill of Rights.
Our Government has provided method which
will help provide the necessary funds to meet the
cost Of war, and in addition will give every man,
woman and child who so invests, q comfortable
savings nest egg for the luturc--thc lending Of
our money through the sale Of Defense Savings
Bonds Stamps
For us it's either question Of Bonds, or
Bondage. Which do you prefer?
The American, and the Democratic way is for
the volunteer purchase Of Defense Savings Bonds
or Stamps regularly systematically, without pres
sure or coercion.
SO let's do it the American way. The easiest,
the most efficient and the most buSinesslke way
is through some Payroll Savings Plan, whereby
each pay day authorize our employers to set
aside specified sum Tor the purchase OF De
Tense Savings Bond.
Systematic, universal Defense payroll savings
from the 1O,OOO,O0O workers in America is the
simplest, easiest method to reach this goal TO
provide the necessary money to defend adequately
America by providing our fighting men with the
supplies and equipment they need on the battle
fronts.
SO let's make every payroll in the Nation a
Defense Savings payroll.
Let's make it a payroll of Honor

The Cherry Tree
Where We Hdtched Out
The Truth
Q PRESERVE CIVIL LIBERTY
BROADCASTS CURTAILED
Q OFFICIAL PASSES
CALL 1T WHAT YOU LIKE

| !
We are told that we must go to eX-
treme lengths to preserve complete
civil liberty
And we are told in reply that there
is so much concern about civil liberty
that fifth columnists have been able
to do lot of dirty work.
OF course we have to face the ques-
ton of how much civil liberty we can
properly preserve and how much we
had better give up-for the duration.
1t is Il question that has to be faced.
Perhaps there is a clarifying posi-
tion-a clarifying way of saying what
seems to be necessary. Suppose we say:
We must preserve every right to
civil liberty, but we must abandon
voluntarily, the practice of some of
our civil liberties while war lasts.
We must curtail our own practice
somewhat so that we can curb the
practices of our enemies within.
X X X
Already a great deal of the practice
of civil liberty has been curtailed.
Certain quiz broadcasts have been
stopped, because through such broad
casts enemies might convey informa-
ton. We agree to that stoppage
eagerly.
= No longer may long range weather
forecasts be broadcast That is a SEN
sible precaution.
Now these restrictions may be said
to interfere with the right to speak
freely. But most of us say, well, what
if they do? 1t is necessary for the pro-
lection of all of us.
Certain freedom of movement has
been denied. There are places where
one cannot 60 except with an official
pass and for specified purposes. But
nobody with any brains thinks about
these restrictions as constituting an
infringement upon the guarantees i'll
the Bill of Rights.
Enemies within will squawk about
such restrictions They will yammer
for unabridged freedom of speech and
movement. Well, so what.
x X X
a few professional viewers with
alarm may yell also. And few per-
fectIy sincere persons will think these
things should not be.
And again, so what!
1t is not our own authorities who
determine whether we must make these
sacrifices. 1t is our enemies who de-
ternine ii. We have to do the things
necessary to make sure that they do
not defeat us and that they DANA ge..-
Us as little as possible.
Many cities have enacted ordinances

street or TO diSObey an air raid warden

he that restricts your right to move
about freely. Call it what you like, it
is "A measure for common protection.
There is no sensible attitude except
10 resolve that we shall give up every
thing and deny ourselves everything
that doesn't fit into the scheme OF
making war to the utmost.
X X
1t would be possible 10 prattle about
rights until we lost the war.
We shall not do that, but there will
be some who will To some extent en-
danger our effectiveness. Democracy is
an imperfect vessel, but we can at
least try to see to it that it doesn't
leak too much, or fall apart.
Without intolerance but with under
standing, intelligence and frmneSs,
let us see to it that we properly re-
strict the practice of civil liberties

now Systematically appropriating Dan
ish commerce and industry, throwing
Danish workers out of employment, is
revealed in an uncensOred report by
a Copenhagen business man.
His statement given out by the
American Friends of Danish Freedom
and Democracy of New York, reveals
some of the means by which Nazi Ger
many imposes the "bleSSingS' of the
New Order upon occupied countries.
The Germans" he reports, have
not only assumed control of press,
radio telephone, railways and the
mails. but have their men in every en-
terprise of any consequence the coun-
try over"
The Copenhagen man continued:
"The German Chamber of Commerce
of Copenhagen, which before the occll-
patton was housed in three small Off
ces, has grown into a huge institution
whence the commerce of all Denmark,
both export and import, is being con-
trolIed and directed, not only the
clearing via Berlin, but trade with
Scandinavia as well. The design of
Germany is seen clearly; that of de-
stroying our industry and confining
Us to agriculture.
a firm in Copenhagen (name with
held for fear of personal repriSalS)
was able to maintain exports of certain
finished products to Germany and the
years. Since the occupation, German
import license was obtainable for the
raw product only, and all the workers
were suddenly deprived of employment
in that industry. Many other enter
pl'iSeS suffered The same fatae.
The Copenhagen head office of the
German employment bureaus hiring
Danish workers for Germany adver-
tises in Danish newspapers. 1t received
up to 10000 applications from workers
who had been thrown out of employ
ment in consequence of similar activi
ties of the German Chamber of Com
merce."

the business man said, adding:

PrioritieS Enable Memphis
Firm To Pay Off Debts

MEMPHIS. Tenn. Up Prio.l-
ties enabled the firm OF B. B. John
son & Sons. Inc. printers and nth
ographers. TO set record in federal
court bankruptcy cases here.
Last June the firm filed petition
in bankruptcy, listing liabilities at
close to $4,000. 1t was case No.
1913.
Now the firm has paid all its cred
itors 100 cents on the dollar. paid
all taxes, costs OF administration
and had 1923 left over.
Attorney John Wilson. receiver
and later trustee OF the firm, said
that for weeks before the bank
ruptcy action the Arm had tried TO
give the firm to anyone who could
pay of the debts. Every piece OF
the firms property was mortgaged.
The firm couldn't borrow any more,
and owed many persons, and taxes.
About that time people began
talking about "priorities" and of
how printing supplies would be
scarce due TO the war effort.
Bids for the equipment came
from printers all over the country,
and the equipment brought more
than the firm ever anticipated.
1t was the first case OF its kind In
the Memphis Federal bankruptcy
court, and Wilson said he had
heard of no other similar case.

WASHINGTON-ANF-A strong

United States in report by Great
Britain OF its air losses since start
of the war.
With the 1941 plane production
total OF some 10000 ships by the

by Canada and England, the figures
are given even greater significance
by the 10000 plane production quo
Ia for 1912. the Aviation News Com
Uittee reports.
Last years production rate by
America alone was more than five
times the total war losses an
nounced by England. Production
Of the United Kingdom boosted
the ratio even higher.
England announced losses OF 1881
planes between September, 1899.
and December, 1871. Losses by Ger
many during the same period were

Flight Strips
Near Highways

NEW YORK AMI Flight
strips-auxiliary landing fields
along the public highways-soon
will be dotting the nation as a re-
suit Of recent approval by Presi.
dent Roosevelt Of a bill appropriate
ing $lO,0O0,OOO for this purpose
The flight strips were conceived
by Colonel Steidman Paren Hanks
of the Army Air Corps.
Large enough TO handle any
combat aircraft in existence, the
emergency landing areas will be
built by the Federal Bureau OF
Roads In cooperation with Army
engineers and state highway de-
partments.
In addition to stimulating prl-
waite flying in postwar days. the
flight strips will in the Immediate
future provide dispersal points for
warcraft to eliminate crowding
the main air bases and TO, lessen
the risk OF large-scale bombing
caused by concentration OF planes.
Some OF the strips may be as
long as 5000 feet. At present high
ways themselves cannot be utiliz.
ed for landing because they are
usually clogged with vehicular
traffic, and there are the added
! hazards OF telephone poles and
power lines.
Following the war. army men
pointed out. these strips can be
used to provide connections for
new commercial air lines and to
aid generally in absorbing the ex-
peeted increase in civilian flying.
Although the federal highway sys-
tenn with its rights-of-way partial.
ly solves the land problem, federal
funds may be used to acquire ad-
ditional property as II is needed.
