PARITY:
Fight Goes On

Farm, church and labor groups
united in a move to back President
Roosevelt against legislative bloc
which is opposed to the administra-
tons plan to sell government-owned
wheat and corn below parity prices.
In a letter to the White House,
these groups said that the success OF
the Presidents program for farm
security in this regard was essen
tial for the winning of the war.
Included in the groups backing
the letter were the National Farm
ers union, the American Federation
of Labor, the Congress of industrial!
Organizations, the Railway Execu-
tives association, the National Cath
Ole Rural Life conference and the
Federal Council of the Churches OF
Christ in America.
This joint move was believed to
be part of a plan being set up in
opposition to the high price through
scarcity concept backed by the
American Farm Bureau federation,
headed by Edward A. O'Neal. The
Farm Bureau federation is reported
to have been successful in withhold
ing approval of the Presidents for
mula for selling government-owned
wheat and corn at IS per cent OF
parity

JAP FOOTHOLD:
On Kiska Island

Japan gained a second foothold in
the Western hemisphere when forces
were put ashore at Kiska island to
establish a base on that Aleutian
island less than 600 miles from the
navy's base at Dutch Harbor.
The japanese, operating under
cover of fog, were able to establish
their base. The occupation was not
a surprise. Kiska is approximately
ITS miles east of Attu island, which
the navy announced on June IL had
been occupied by the japanese. "A
break in the weather within the past
few days enabled discovery OF the
occupation of Kiska.
A navy communique said that
"Tents and minor temporary struc-
lures were observed to have been
set up on land" Kiska has fair
harbor, the site of former coaling
station for ships. Attu has few
facilities for ships of any size.
In Honolulu, Lieut.. Gen. Delos c.
Emmons has urged all non-resi-
dents not engaged in essential war
| work to leave for the mainland as
soon as practicable and at the same
time warned that Japan might at
tack Hawaii at any time.

WEST COASTS:
SheIIed

Almost four months to- the day
after a submarine had shelled the
California coast, another u. S. state,
Oregon, felt the impact Of enemy
shells. The more recent Smelling
took place against the shoreline
north of Seaside, Ore, just south OF
Astoria, at the mouth Of the Column
bia river.
The Fourth Army and Western
Defense command announced the
firing of six to nine shells by an I'M
identified craft near the midnight
hour. No damage nor casualties
were reported. Although the army
did not Immediately identify the at
tacking vessel it was believed to be
Jap submarine.
This conclusion was reached after
the Canadian government had an
nounced that about "a hours before
the Oregon attack submarine had
landed shells at the government
telegraph station at Estevan Point,
Vancouver island.
This was the first time that ar
enemy submarine had attacked
shore installations in Canada anc
the first time in Canada's history
that enemy shells had landed on hel
soil. Canadian officials said tina
while one of the shells landed nea,
enough the telegraph station Il
"shatter windows" the other mis-
sles ''fell harmlessly on the beach.
The u. S. army's first brief an
nouncement of the Oregon attack in
Dictated that the firing had laste'
about Is minutes. Earlier resident
of Astoria had reported hearing be
tween 10 and 16 shots fred at Sc
and said they could hear the shell
whistle over head. Still another re
port said that an Astoria resider
had sighted submarine off tn
coast. Washington and Oregon ha
dimouts of their coasts at the tim
of the attack.

MORE ROYALTY:
In Washington

Second monarch in ten days to
visit Washington and hold converse
tons with President Roosevelt was
the 19-year-old boy king of Jugo-
slavia, King Peter II. He arrived
in the capital by plane and was &C
companied by Foreign Minister M.
Nintchich.
Main topics Of discussion with the
President were Jugoslavia's unre-
lenting guerrilla warfare against
Germany and the effects Of a mas
ter lend-lease agreement for his
country which would provide for
after-the-war understandings and
collaboration.
King George II Of Greece had left
the capital before King Peter ar
rived and Queen Wilhelmina, ruling
head of the Netherlands, was on her
way to Washington, via Canada, at
the time.

BRIEFS:

AID TO ENEMY: Judge Thomas
Siddal, Atlantic City defense council
chairman, has charged that signals
to Axis submarines were flashed
from hotel windows along the At
lantic coast.
BUNKER HILL: Bunker Hill
monument, which commands an all
inclusive view of the Boston Navy
yard, has been closed to the public
for the duration.
EDUCATION: Forty-one per cent
of white soldiers indicted into the
army during the past two years are
high school graduates or have had
some college training. This COM
pares favorably with per cent dur
ing World War I.
RESUMED: Workmen at the
strike-bound Pullman-Standard Car
Manufacturing company plant in
Michigan City, Ind, voted to return
to their jobs of making gondola cars
needed by the u. S. army. Their

RUSSIAN FRONT:
Increased importance

With the fall of Tobruk in Libya
the fighting on the Russian front
took on added importance for 1t
became increasingly clear that II
the United Nations were going to
fight Hitler to a standstill the Soviet
forces must continue to occupy the
major portion of Nazi armed
strength.
Soviet soldiers were doing just
that. Even as the British were adj
hitting the loss of their Libyan
stronghold, a report from MOSCOW
took the optimistic note that with
the continued material aid Of Brit
ain and the United States the Rus
slams would be able to hold out
against Germany.
While an official Russian commu-
nique admitted a German break
through at Sevastopol, Soviet troops
had blasted their way across the
Donets river in the critical Kharkov
area and recaptured number OF
localities in a terrific counter
attack. Earlier, two German regi-
ments with heavy air and tank sup
port had crossed the river in vio-
lent attack and forced the Russians
back.
The German success at Sevasto-
pol came only after huge losses, &C
cording to the Russian official YER
sion which admitted: "In the
Sevastopol sector Of the front our
troops repealed repeated furious
German attacks. At cost Of enor.
NOUS losses the enemy succeeded
in driving a wedge in our defensive
positionS."

WAR MANPOWER:
STAGGERING Total

The effect of the war upon every
day life was emphasized in state
ment of the War Manpower COM
mission, which said that the goal
for men in the armed forces is six
to seven million men by the end OF
1913, and eventually" may be 10
million.
By 1914, at least 20 million work
ers will be needed in war produc-
ton and transportation. The 1S43
crop will be harvested by IL million
workers.
Chairman MacLean Of the Presi-
dents Committee on Fair Employ
ment Practice stated that in 1914
high school enrolment might be re-
duced by 40 to so per cent, college
enrolment by 70 to 80 per cent,
and half the nations schools may be
closed due to increasing needs for
war workers.

TAXATION PROGRAM:
Rehind Schedule

To ease the taxpayers burden In
1913, the treasury department pro-
posed to congress a modification OF
its plan to withhold federal taxes
at the source. Under the plan the
treasury would collect per cent OF
the taxable income starting on
January l, 1913, instead of 10 per
cent, would collect Is per cent In
1914, and 10 per cent in 1s45.
Earlier the treasury department
proposed a 100 per cent war super
tax" to carry out President Roose-
velt's recommendations for imita-
ton of individual income to $25, 900
a year after payment Of all taxes.
The President told the press that
taxation provisions of his anti
imitation program were running
slightly behind schedule and that,
in his opinion, the bill should be
split into sections in order to get
part of it into effect as soon as
possible.

WAR CONDITIONS
AND COMMODITY MARKET


AND COMMODITY MARKET
IN THE EARLY SUMMER of 1929
banker friend and ] were lunchlng
together at the Chicago club. "A
stranger came into the room and at
his request, was introduced to my
banker friend.
eyes .erday I achieved an ambi-
ton of which I am sure you VIII
approve" said the stranger. -
purchased some shares OF stock IN
your bank"
"At what price?" asked my bank
er friend.
"At $1,15O a share" replied the
stranger.
"No, would not approve" said
the banker. 81 advise you to sell
those shares at once. They are not
worth any such price. They never
have been and never will be. The
stock is on the board and we cannot
control what the public is willing to
pay for it, but the stock will pay a
reasonable dividend on less than
half that price"
That incident illustrates the stock
market imitation of 1929. People
had money and were willing to pay
unreasonable prices for stocks.
Their demand pushed the prices up
to unwarranted heights. They made
the wild rise of such men as insult
possible, and then in the fall OF l9z9
they paid.
What happened then in the stock
market is threatening today in the
commodity market and half meas
ures will not stop it. The Presi-
dents ceiling on commodity prices
will help, but that ceiling cannot be
maintained if the cost of production
continues to go up, as it must II the
cost of labor continues to rise
Prices must 60 up with increased
labor costs, or industry goes broke
and closes up.
Increasing prices for labor means
not only the necessity for increasing
prices on commodities for civilian
consumption, but also on war sup
plies. It means an ever-increaslnt
cost of our war effort, an increasing
burden of indebtedness for our chill
dren and their children to pay.
Why not a ceiling on wages tina
are now ST. an hour or over, and
48-hour week? That would help t
control the imitation tendency ant
help to make possible the ceiling
on commodity prices.

THE REGULAR ARMY
AND u. s. GREATNESS

SEE AND MEET many of those
serving in the armed forces OF the
nation whose job is to defeat for us
our present enemies-the Huns, the
Japs and the Wops.
AS I talk with them and know the
valor and ability they represent for
us, my memories turn back to SOL
diers knew in past days-those OF
the little regular army that made
the greatness of this nation possible.
It was but a mere handful of
valiant men, officers and soldiers,
who pushed back our frontier from
the Allegheny mountains, at the
close of the American Revolution, to
the broad Pacific. That little hand
full of men conquered the wilderness
and the plains and the savagery to
the Mississippi, to the Missouri, to
the Rocky mountains and on to the
Pacific. They blazed the way for the
pioneer, the homeseeker. They
made towns and cities possible. 1t
is from the towns, cities and farms,
| which the little regular army OF the
United States made possible, that
today come the soldiers and sailors
who are protecting us in this great
est of all wars. 1t is largely from
these towns and cities and farms
that is coming the food, the planes,
tanks, guns and ships needed by our
soldiers of today.
All glory to that little regular
army which conquered for us the
America we love today. 1t was my
privilege to know many of the mem
bers of that valiant, hard-fightine
force during the last quarter of the
| conf11ru
