wide World News.

When another Iowan, Henry A. Wal
lace, entered President Roosevelt's cabi-
net as Secretary Of Agriculture and
helped establish the A. A. A., Mr.. Evans
gladly assisted in the Midwestern corn
hog country. In 1896. Secretary Wallace
brought him to Washington and made
him q special assistant. Two years later
he was A. A. A. administrator.
"Our task is to agriculture what the
War Production Boards job is to indus
try" Mr.. Evans said. without the war
board or some similar governmental
agency directing its activities, industry
would continue to build automobiles, re-
frigerators, radios and countless other
civilian goods when instead it should be
building airplanes, tanks, guns and other
weapons Of war.
1T Is the same with agriculture. With
out A. A. A. help and direction, farmers
would cut loose and produce huge quanti-
ties Of products that they have been ac-
customed to produce Those products
would be principally cotton, wheat, tobac-
co and corn"
1t 50 happens, Mr.. Evans explained,
that the Nations warehouses, elevators
and bins are crowded with these goods.
There is so much wheat that farm offi-
cials are worrying about storage space
for the new crop.
Must Change Crops.
IF the United States is to feed its
own people adequately and furnish its
Allies with necessary food, farmers must
produce, not more cotton, tobacco or
wheat, but more dairy products, meats.
eggs, poultry, fruits and vegetables, and
such vegetable oil-bearing crops as pea
nuts and soybeans. These products are
agriculture's airplanes, tanks and guns"
It is the job Of the A. A. A. and its
10000 State and local farmer COM
mitteemen to help producers expand
their production along these lines. Mr..
Evans said.
The A. A. A. chief told how national
production goals have been set up for
virtually every farm product. They call
for the greatest output Of livestock,
dairy and poultry products, vegetable

Western War

All goes we'll in Russia, but poorly In
Libya. In Libya the Axis pushed the
British back over territory recently cap
tured by the British, until they last week
came within so miles of Tobruk. In Rus
sia the Russians pushed the Axis back
over territory recently captured by Hit
ler's armies. The two Russian objectives
now are Smolensk, in the center, and
Dnieperopetrovsk in the south, In the
Donets Basin. Soviet guerillas are work.
ing to create panic behind the Nazi lines.
The Nazis stiffened, however, last week.
Russian progress grew more dificult. A
high Russian military au-
Soviet thority toured the front and
Front reported that In many sec
tors the Germans appeared to
have reached some sort of Notifications.
They were following new policy. In
stead of Withdrawing and trying to take
their equipment with them, the Axis
forces were being reinforced by men and
machines and were trying to make q
stand.
This new German tactic had its effect
on the Russian mode Of battle. BY the
weeks end, dispatches spoke for the first
time in weeks Of battles in which the
Russians were outnumbered. Soviet
communiques noted increasing German
aerial activity on the approaches to Mos
COW. This may be portentous.
While the British fell back in North
Africa, the r. A. F. twice bombed Palermo
and once Naples Switzerland wondered
whether the visit of Air Marshal Goering
to Rome might mean that greater Axis
drive in the Mediterranean is In the
making.
On the sea it was q bad week for ths
Allies, except for the glorious accom-
plishments of the American Navy at
Marshall and Gilbert Islands. The Brit
sh lost the famous submarine Triumph
well named-which had sunk four Axis
naval ships and nine Axis supply ships.
She was a sister ship of the in-starred
Thetis, which sank before the war, in
the Irish Sea in June, 1889 German
submarines continued their marauding
of the Atlantic Coast Of the United
States and Canada. Two men died
when an Axis submarine torpedoed the
United Fruit boat San Gil off the Mary
land coast Tuesday night. The tanker
India Arrow was sunk of the New
Jersey Coast after submarine torpedoing
Wednesday evening, and apparently IS
were lost.

the law will generally take the wind
out of his sails. Such a statement is
put out by the War Production Board
in little leafet, What Labor is Do
ing in the War" Says the leafet: -.
Question: Don't labor laws prohibit
a work week longer than 40 hours?
Answer: No. There is no law that
prohibits working more than 40 hours
a week. The wage-hour law simply
provides that workers should be paid
at the rate of time and half for
hours over 40 in any one week.
For example, Andy Jones, a war
worker, earns 70 cents an hour for 40
hours of straight time, or $28. He
works 10 hours overtime and is paid
70 cents straight time for each of these
extra hours, or ST. and 35 cents over
time for each of the 10 hours, or $3.50.
The additional $1050 makes his total
earnings $3.50 for SO hours of work.

march with prouder step, and have
better weapons. They represent ma
tion that has found itself after years
of sleep. You have good friends in
the North. They believe in you and
in your victory" Goulding's article
concludes.
Final steps looking to the extinction
of the once free and powerful French
trade unions are reported by the Ber-
lin radio in a broadcast monitored by
the Federal Communications Commits
sion. The broadcast reported that
merging of the former French labor
Front is regulated by law just passed
at Vichy. The broadcast continued:
During certain periods of transi-
ton, French labor unions will be al
lowed to continue to represent the in
terest of workmen. Thus, they may
still collect subscriptions from their
members, maintain their Offices, and
subsidize various institutions created
by them, but they are forbidden to
change or expand their powers. For
any such moves, they must first have
the permission of the Secretary of
State for Labor The trade unions
may link up with one another as
step toward unification and simplifi-
cation.
"Their final merger with the new
Labor Front will be transacted by spe-
cial DEGREES. They will then cease to
exist. Their funds and property will
pass into the hands of the Labor Front
which, however, will be responsible
for their liabilities only to the amount
of the funds flowing to it from the
trade unions"

When the unbelievable demons of
war lashed out at our nation on De-
cember 7, Americans walked around,
or sat in huddles, dazed, unable, in
thousands upon thousands of cases, to
believe that this venomous news could
be true.
1t happened to some other country
not to ours. 1t happened to some other
people-not to US.
And even today there are thousands
who simply will not take seriously the
fact that we are at war and that our
nation can be attacked, not merely
upon the high seas, but here at home,
on land-ON OUR SOIL!
The fact that the few shells fired
at Pacific coast points have done no
real harm probably has convinced
other thousands that no more serious
attack can be made.
All Of which is rubbsh-and we
had better get over it.
Our workers in factories are doing
a magnificent job. They are working
production miracles. Work stoppages
are down almost to a minimum.
But great deal remains to be de-
sired
Too much population goes about it's
way in no way acting as if we were
engaged in the greatest war the world
has known.
Twaddle, twaddle, twaddle, abounds
in too many circles.
There is grumbling at the small
sacrifices the civilian population has
been thus far called upon to make.
A bridge party is excuse enough any
time to keep thousands from de-
fense job that needs to be done-or
a war job.
And there is plenty of official red
tape still tangling with progress.
That united fighting spirit that puts
winning the war ahead of EVERY
THING remains to be developed
that fighting MAD spirit of people
determined to WIN BY A KNOCK
OUT! That's what we've got to have
AND QUICKLYi
We cannot yet know what may be
the sum total of the cost of the loss
of Tobruk and the general retreat of
the British in Libya and it is perhaps
preposterous to be critical at this

FRIDAY, JULY II, 1912.
FITTING NAMES FOR
NEW SHIPS

1t is most fitting that ships to be
launched and christened on Labor Day
should bear the names of Samuel
Gompers, Andrew Furuseth, Peter j.
Mcclure and other great leaders of
American labor. They fought for de-
mocracy all their lives and the ships
to bear their names will help in the
same fight, in the war of the United
Nations against the Axis.
The ship-launching program will be
one to be long remembered by the
American people. The program, pre-
pared by the Maritime Commission
and other government agencies, is ex-
pected to surpass even the achieve
ments of Maritime Day. Represent
atives of both the A. F. of L. and CIO
are aiding in the making of the ar
rangements and will participate in the
ceremonies.
John P. Frey, president of the Metal
Trades Department, who is in charge
of the arrangements for the A. F. of
L., announces that high government
officials and members of Congress have
agreed to take part in the ceremonies
at the chief launchings.

DANIEL WILLARD

(From the Washington Daily News)
"Dan" Willard, who is dead at 81,
was of the finest type of American
captains of industry.
He was a self-made man, Vermont
farm boy who entered railroading as
a section hand and became president,
for 81 years, of the B. & O. He was
public servant, in many capacities,
including several major posts in World
War l. He was sincere and success
full champion of labor management
cooperation. He was an innovator in
railroad equipment and service. And
he had the fiscal acumen to bring the
B. & o. through some very difficult
times.
His country, like his railroad, owes
him honor.

stage, when come back seems so def
nitely in the air.
But it seems safe to say, on the
basis of all known fact, that the fight
ing mad spirit of aggression wasn't
too strong in Rommel's pathway.
There are plenty of home towns in
America that are not yet fighting mad
the way you get when some bounder
has kicked you in the pants and made
it hurt.
This is everybody's war and every
body needs to get mad.
Airplanes can dump loads of mur-
der on our cities; and not only on
those near the coast lines.
Some say it might be good thing
if we had few bombs loosed upon
US. THAT would wake US up.
But what we need to get riled about
and determined about is the challenge
to our principles, to our freedom, tc
what is called our way of life.
It's the deep principle involved that
ought to fire us and stir us to oul
very depths, to let nothing stand in
the way of the fullest and quickest
contribution to victory.
Unless we are stirred by the great
issue at stake we might as we'll agree
that we are beyond being stirred
which definitely we are not.
The world is divided today upon a
magnificent fundamental. That's how
it is. There is only right side-the
side of freedom.
Freedom CAN lose this war, if WE
don't do our level best.
That's why we MUST do our leve
best; every one of us, not just some
of us.
This isn't just an army and navy
war. This is a PEOPLES WAR
and WE are the people! = c. M. w

TELL US, PLEASE?

(From American Federationist)
The Presidents program of equal
sacrifice has not been carried out. On
April 81 the Chief Executive proposed
a 7-point program to stop imitation by
distributing the necessary sacrifices
over different groups of the popu-
lation.
Discrepancies between low per-
sonal incomes and very high personal
incomes shall be lessened," he said.
mo American citizen ought to have a
net income, after he has paid his
taxes, of more than $4,000 year"
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee has scornfully rejected this
$4,000 top for personal incomes set
by the President. While employers at
tempted to use the Presidents pro-
posal to stabilize wages as an excuse
to stop all wage increases, several
thousand wealthy persons in control
of companies filling war contracts are
to be permitted to keep self-conferred
incomes, after taxes, ranging from
$4,000 to more than 100000 per
annum.
What sacrifices are these fat cats
Will some one tell US,
please?

n MEXICAN editorial writer's who
n love to tell European nations
how they should act in the face OF
Nazi threats and aggression, have
often taken shots at little Sweden
They have alleged that Sweden, though
still maintaining its independence, has
been unduly subservient to Hitler and
have advised course of action which,
if it had been followed by Sweden,
would long ago resulted in the quick
conquest of the nation.
AS a matter of fact, Sweden has
kept it's independence and integrity OF
government and territory in the face
of pressure that would have ended re-
sistance in nation less stout-hearted.
And the opposition of the Swedes to
Hitlerism has grown as the danger
has increased, which is testified to by
the Stockholm correspondent of the
London Daily Telegraph.
'Sweden in the past has made some
mistakes, but, mistakes or no mis-
takes, the day of surrender and con-
cession to the .Nazis is past" the cor
respondent, Ossian Goulding, now Wis
iting in London, writes in the Tele-
graph.

LESSON TWO

Good posture lends grace, poiSe,
social value and personal attrac-
tiveness to ones bearing, and il is
important TO every one at all
times.
Ii is an asset not only from a
health standpoint. but also in the
business and professional world.
In any contest il is OF great inn
portance TO gain an advantage
over ones opponent, 1t is also true
with the muscles of the human
body. When the body carriage is
correct there is an equalized bal
ance between all muscles. but
when one assumes n faulty pos
ture. certain muscles are used in
excess and others are used insult
fic,ently.
Whenever one muscle gains an
advantage over another one in
creases in strength while the other
becomes much weaker. The in
crease in strength is at the ex-
pensee of the opposing muscle.
Corrective exercises are then
