down on those wages. If it does not,

HIGH STAKES
(The Blooming Prairie Times)

(The Blooming Prairie Times)
Thirty-six per cent of farm fam
lilies and single persons living on the
farms of America made less than $500
cash in 1941. Their average non
cash income-home grown foods
estimated at $421 for the same year
1t is difficult to see how anyone
can claim the farmers and dairymen
are profiting by the wartime rise in
farm produce prices. In fact, they
are so far from profiting that under
the impact of labor shortages, gov
ernment regulation and rationing of
gas and machinery, many thousands
of them are quitting in discourage
ment
However, the bulk of the nations
farmers will fight for the right to
produce sufficient food for our SOL
diers, civilians and our Allies, at a
price that will not force the farmer
out of business. The stakes in this
fight are high. If the farmer loses,
the nation loses.
Government fiat may equitably dis
tribute what food is left, but only
the farmer can produce more.

Emergency Rations
For Truck Drivers

Farmers and others who have not
yet received their certificates of war
necessity from the Office of Defense
Transportation can obtain enough
gasoline to carry them through De-
cember by applying to their local
rationing boards.
That's the advice from T. C. Dris-
coll, Minnesota OPA director, in an
emergency notice to truck operators
who might be faced with storing their
trucks until their certificates are OBJ
tained. But to get emergency gaso-
line rations, the applicant must be
able to show the board that he either
has signed the application form sup
piled by the ODT or applied for one.
The truck operator must estimate
accurately how many miles he will
drive his truck during the rest of
December. Any ration allotted him
by the board will be deducted from
his permanent ration when he gets
his permanent certificate of war nee
essity, Mr.. Driscoll said. A truck
operator who over-estimates his
needs, therefore, will lose, because
not only what he actually uses, but
the excess amount of his estimate as
well will be deducted from his al
lotted ration.

BELIEVE 1T OR NOT
(Pope County Tribune)


The common belief has been that
there are more Swedes or Norwe-
gians in Minnesota than any other
nationality. The census bureau at
Washington tells different story.
Believe it or not, there are more
Germans born or citizens of German
extraction than any other nationality
in Minnesota. The latest census shows
that there are 266,707 Germans in
Minnesota. Next come the Swedes,
with 229,l2l. The Norwegians come
very close, with 228,965. England
has 26,935. Scotland has 10,116 and
Ireland 1880. Denmark has 40,215.
Iceland has 1869; Holland, 17,173;
France, 5,282; Poland, 1895; Czecho-
slovakia, 29,843; Austria, 23,577;
Jugoslavia, 22,43O; Russia, 28,164;
Finland, 54,252; Greece, 1861; and
Italy, l6,488. In the above nation
alities, are given only these of the
first and second generation, and not
those of subsequent generations. The
total of all these nationalities would
be only a part of the total popula-
ton of Minnesota as there are many
who have lived here for from three
to ten generations.

NEW POLITICAL WEAPON
(Thief River Falls TimeS)

Up to the present time Food will
win the war and write the peace" has
been just another slogan. Now we
are approaching the time when food
will actually become an important
political as well as military weapon.
The invasion of North Africa puts us
closer to the problem of feeding
starving Europe and because the
shorter distances to African bases
will simplify our shipping problems
we will now be able to increase sub
stantially our deliveries of food and
supplies to points from where it will
be more accessible later on. The re-
suits will be felt both in the markets
and in pantries. Surpluses will dis
appear and increased government
buying will make necessary the ra-
tioning of products that now are
plentiful. We are just getting nicely
started in the use of ration cards.

RED CROSS MODEST
Duluth News Tribune)

The report of the American Red
Cross on insular and foreign opera
tions from September 1899 to Octo-
ber l., 1912, which has just come to
hand, is one of the most unassuming
and matter-of-fact documents one
could imagine. A casual perusal
would stir no enthusiasm over the
worldwide work of the greatest re-
lief organization the world has ever
seen; and even a close examination
makes one feel that modesty has been
just trifle too dominant in the COM
pilation.
Its introduction is concise to de-
gree bordering on reticence; and the
whole report is a masterpiece of un-
derstatement. The introduction reads:
"In the three years since the out
break of war in Europe on Sept. l,
1889, the American Red Cross has
furnished relief to more than 90
100000 war victims. Approximately
$50, 100000 worth of supplies, includ-
ing American Red Cross and govern
ment purchased supplies, have been
distributed"
Going into detail, under subhead-
ings of Great Britain, Russia, China,
France, Greece, Middle East, Iceland,
Other Operations, Foreign Disaster
Relief, Relief to Prisoners of War,
Services to Armed Forces Abroad
and Insular Operations, the whole
field of operations and endeavors is
handled in the most routine manner.
But behind all the evident reluct-
ance to boast lies story too big to
attempt here. The whole world has
been covered in the Red Cross efforts.
Discouragements in many places are
only limited at. But the relief was

POLICY NEEDED-NOT CZAR
Montgomery Messenger)

Sharply criticizing the activity, or
rather the inactivity, of the War
Manpower Commission which failed,
after seven months, to establish a
basic policy or program for meeting
its increasing problems, the special
Senate (Truman) investigating COM
mittee made some proposals of its
own.
For one thing, the committee rec
commended lengthening the basic work
week to at least forty-eight hours
as against the present national aver
age of forty-two and half. Over
time wages in war industry, where
the government buys the products,
the committee, proposed should be
paid in war bonds, caShable only
after the war or usable during hos
tilities for payment of Federal taxes.
The committee report also sug-
gested that the forty-hour week in
non-war industry be suspended as
"a possible answer" to the severe
labor shortage there.
However, although a policy is bad
ly needed, according to the commit
tee, compulsory legislation or sim
gle manpower czar is not.
The manpower problem is too diff
ficult and complex to be solved by
any simple solution such as creating
manpower car or authorizing by
statute government agency to de-
termine by coercion where each en-
ploye shall work.
'The administrative machinery
would be too cumbersome and there
would be too much room for favor

Strong Seal Sale
Support Is Asked
Various Organizations Ask
tuberculosis Fund Aid as
Part of War Giving.

To avoid a breakdown in tubercu-
losis control and our national stand
ard of health, generous support of
the Christmas Seal campaign now on
is vital Labor, American Legion,
government, church and club leaders
issue this warning in urging con-
tributions to the tuberculosis fund
as part of war giving.
"The fight against tuberculosis is
more important this year than ever
before" says Glen S. Locker of Du-
luth, department commander of the
Minnesota American Legion.
Mrs. Arthur E. Arntzen of Apple
ton, president of the Legion Auxiliary,
says: Knowing of the alarming
spread of tuberculosis in other coun-
tries we in the United States must
be on guard constantly"
"a Patriotic Duty"
Rev. P. o. Bersell, president, the
Evangelical Lutheran Augustana Sy-
nod of North America, endorses the
work as follows: ''The Christmas
Seal calls us to renewed activity in
the ceaseless war against the ancient
scourge of tuberculosis. Its use will
become a reminder to others to do
their Christian, patriotic duty"
Rt. Rev. Ralph S. Cushman of the
Methodist church says: ''The fight
against tuberculosis and for public
health cannot be postponed for the
duration. The buying of Christmas
Seals must be considered an essential
part of Americas all out effort to
win the war"
Archbishop John Gregory Murray
of the Catholic church says: GAS the
tuberculosis campaign is now faced
with conditions arising from war
there is need of greater vigilance
and sustained effort to keep what
has been gained if possible to con-
tinue the reduction in the mortality"

We sympathize with India and all
subject people who yearn for indie
pendence. But we should show sym
pathetic understanding of Britain's
problem as well. They are unfortun-
ate in that they have been born into
an economic order which is the basis
of their national existence and is now
threatened with collapse.
Churchilps attitude is typically
English in its obstinacy. But it is
mere obstinacy. It will not solve
the problem. The tide is too strong
to be stemmed by one man or a
group of men or even by a whole ma
ton. 1t may be retarded momen-
tarily. But it will be only momen-
tarily. Ultimately, it must be faced.
And if it is not faced and solved,

even further away from the danger

Coral Sea, at Midway, and, most
recently, in the waters around the
Solomon Islands.
Japanese Defeats.
On the island of Guadalcanal the
Japanese are being held in check
by the Americans; they have not yet
left the island, but-it's with them
as with their Nazi partners-when
they are not exactly retreating, they
are standing still, inert, and are un-
able to improve their positions and
their chances.
On the island of New Guinea,
Australian and American forces, join
ing their arms, have made it almost
certain that the Japanese will never
reach Port Moresby in the south, and
that means that they are most un-
likely to ever reach the Australian
mainland. They have been rebuffed
wherever they have fought in recent
months.

Americans when Winston Churchill
said, the other day, that he would
not willingly permit anything to be
done which might result in dismem-

read it, and no doubt rightly, as a
definite statement of British policy
concerning India. 1t was made fair

Too Technical

Little by little fragments Of in
formation are coming through about
the great naval battle fought last
week by an American fleet and a
large section of the japanese navy
west of Midway Island in the far
Pacific. Some of it, though, is so
technical as to be partially unin-
telligible for the ordinary laymen.
For instance. headlines scream that
the "crippled' japanese fleet has
sought haven in its own waters and
bases. Admitting that fifteen Japan
csc WarshiDS were either sunk or
damaged, and that American naval
casualties consisted almost solely of
the loss Of a single destroyer, what
seems strange is that so much of a
"crirNled" enemy armada could
esr'pe an American fleet virtually
~'nscathed, so far as reports thus far
reveal. 1t is almost impossible to
believe that a battered Jap fleet
could run faster than our %unscarred
Warships could chase them.
That is where the technicality
