SIGN YOUR PLEDGE

Uncle Sam, in this War effort
must know from every production
plant just how many guns, tanks
planes and ships he can expect to
receive within the next few months
so that he can lay his battle plans
accordingly.
BY the same token he must know
from the people of the nation lust
how many dollars he can expect to
receive voluntarily in the purchase
of U. S. Savings Bonds, So that he
can lay his tax plans accordingly, to
pay for the war cost. The more dol
lars voluntarily pledged for the pur-
chase of Bonds, the less will be the
tax load.
With this in mind, the Treasury
Department is conducting a ma
tion-wide inventory by states
wherein every income Garner is be-
Ing asked to sign pledge indicating
how much he will lend from that in
come to buy savings bonds.
The date for this pledge campaign
here in Washington is next week.
This community is a local sector of
the state and nationwide battle
front. The voluntary workers in the
campaign are civilian soldiers serv-
ing without pay, without glory or
thanks, and are as surely fighting
battle for freedom as the soldiers on
the battle fronts. They are conduct
ing campaign which we as a ma
ton cannot afford to lose. Their
only weapon is a pledge card and
CHEEKY word. 'ss ..--.
They will offer every income earn
er the privilege and opportunity to
pledge an investment in the safest
risk in the world, the United States
government. ~ ,--
Every person who is financially
able should support this pledge cam
paign to his or her utmost financial
ability. The pledge is entirely vol
untary on your part, but upon the
success of this campaign will de-
pend the freedom of America for
the tanks and guns and sup
plies to be purchased by your in
Vestment, your pledge, we cannot win
this war. sat - - s-s#<.%
SO join willingly, cheerfully, in
this mobilization of American dol
lars, so that America will continue
to be free. Sign the pledge and do
your share. .s'#as5.

aircraft carriers cannot be. used by

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER

If you have a boy serving his
country in the Army or Navy, whose
life may depend upon the delivery
of supplies to the four corners of the
earth, read this:
In Portland, Oregon, where con-
ditions are similar to those in hun
dreds of other American cities, a
.free-born American citizen answered
the call for men to man a new
freighter going into the transport
service. He had waited around for
some days before the ship was ready
and when it came time to sign up
was about out Of money. He then
found that before he could go on
board as a seaman he had to pay the
labor union about $500. He didn't
have the money. Fortunately he
found a friend who loaned it to him.
Words are inadequate to express
ones opinion of such a condition.
Here is a situation where an Amer
lean citizen can't get a job on an
American ship carrying American
made supplies to American armed
forces that are fighting to preserve
this nation, until he pays tribute to
private labor bosses. If the closed
shop can tie our country up in this
manner, what personal liberty have
we to boast about? E.1. -. -.
In free country, a man should
have the right to join a labor union
if he so desires, and he should have
the right not to join if he so desires.
Certainly no private organization
should have the power to deny a
man the right to work in a war eff
fort, until that man can first pay
it a cash tribute. How long the rank
and file of American citizens will
put up with such a condition re-
mains to be seen. -

1t might be noted that the in
crease in pay voted the American
soldiers did not come as a result of
"a strike, sit down: or walk out, on
the part of the soldiers. Neither did
it come as a result of the soldiers be-
ing egged on to demand it by a well
paid radical leader. The boys on the
firing line are a notable exception
when it comes to matters of this
kind. They would have gone clear
through the piece to the end for $21
a month without a squawk.

FIRST OR SECOND

We may have to walk instead of
ride, take sweets in smaller doses,
hue to the line in spending for any
thing but absolute necessities, brush
off old clothes, take to skates or
scooters, but by this time if we
haven't decided that defense comes
first and is worth the giving-up,
then we are too selfish and pig
headed to learn. We grumble about
tire and gas rationing and are re-
minded that the men at Valley Forge
fought in the first heavy fight for
right to pursue life, liberty and hap
piness- without shoes on their feet
and we are ashamed! We repeat
to OUR family and friends that de-
Tense comes first, and then COM
plain because we can't buy metal
gadgets or a new ice box We say
first" and mean second" We have
national habit of wanting the
cake and eating it too Look at your
dictionary and see if yours says for
the meaning of the word first:
Preceding all others; foremost; in
preference to anything else; before
any or some other person or thing or
principle; highest; prime" all Of
which doesn't leave us in any doubt
as to the Importance Of being first.
Are we really serious when we say
that national defense comes first?
Labor has to be considered about
unions supplying men for certain
jobs, about dues, hours, overtime,
double pay, priorities, stopping for
holidays, etc. Boot-1egging of tires,
bulk buying by boarding items sus-
pected might be rationed leading to
unearned profits and booming
stocks, is not considering first" It
means we want more than the rest
of the world who has ceased to cry
for Injuries and ask for only the
necessities. Our boys giving up am
billions and careers to train to pro-
tect our liberty defense comes first
we say-then put it second or third
or not even consider it at all! Buy
bonds, help in war centers, put it
first until we don't need it any
more. ~ '--'~ T.

. SORRY RECORD

The appropriations bills roll swift
ly on through congress. It is clear
that before this war is done we may
have a national debt of 100000
100000 or more. Rightly, no
citizen complains when the money
is to be used for real and necessary
military purposes. We are determ-
ined that every American fighting
man must be the best and most
abundantly equipped on earth.
But what has happened to the
promises of drastic retrenchment in
non-defense expenditures? "A glance
at the record tells the sorry story It
is a statistical fact that not single
significant cut has been made in any
branch of the government. The nom
defense bureaus grow bigger and
fatter. Waste and duplication Of eff
fort continue ''as usuel. Extrava-
gance is still in the saddle. And the
people pay.
!. It is truism that all seekers Of
office promise economy land that,
once elected their pledges are i'm
mediately forgotten. 1t is up to the
citizens of America-the people who
pay-to refresh those short men,
cries. There is no excuse Whatso-
ever for the spending of a single tax
dollar for any activity which could
be abandoned or deferred. That is
true of local governments and the
national government alike.
The very solvency of this country
upon the greatest possible retrench-
ment in all government functions
which are not directly related to the
prosecution of the war. That is the
responsibility of our public servants.
They cannot evade it.
