How We Can Talk Back

The German and Japanese threat to
maltreat war prisoners unless we do this
or that should now be taken with large
grain of salt, even by the mothers and ia
theirs of boys in the service who feel cold
shivers run up their backs when they hear
such stories.
During the first period Of the war Hit
Ter had the strength, when he threatened
reprisals for bombings of German cities
to make us realize that his threats might
be carried out. Now it is apparent that hi
threats of all kinds grow out of fear. He
knows that if he harms prisoners, or vio-
lates international rules of humanity in
other ways, the Allies can punish him a
thousand fold by increasing bombings of
Germany.
AS for the Japs, they have made so
much of one small raid on Tokyo because
they realize that Tokyo would be one of
the easiest cities in the world to destroy
by bombing If we answer their threat
to harm war prisoners by promising to give
Tokyo a real taste of bombing if those
threats are carried out, even Hirohito
would agree that it would be foolish for
Japan to perform any such foolhardy. act.
The Allies are getting the upperhand
- and even though the actual end of the
war may be long way off, we are now in
a position to talk back to our enemies in
language they understand.

Stalingrad despite the almost complete de-
struction of that city, will become one Of
the most remarkable chapters in the his
tory books of the future. How the battle
on Stalingrad will finally end is yet to be
determined, but the early snow may be a
determining factor in turning near trag-
edy into glorious victory.
Usually we dread to see winter come
and when it is gone we are lusty in our
greeting of springtime and warm sun
shine. This year, however, for the allies
cause everywhere, we welcome winter, one
of the greatest allies of the United Nations.

To make up our serious shortage of fats
and oils the government is asking home
makers to save and take to their meat
markets-for forwarding to Uncle Sam
half a billion pounds of waste fats this
year. Individually, homemaker may
look at the small amount she is able to
save daily from drippings and other sourc-
es and decide that it hardly seems worth
while. But she must remember, that if
every woman in the country saves as little
as four ounces of waste fats in week, it
will produce the glycerine required to
make 100000 pounds of gun powder
and that adds up to deadly proportions
for Hitler & Co.

The Draft And Farmers

The action of War Man Power Chief
Paul V. McNutt on freezing all necessary
workers on the nations livestock, poultry
and dairy farms is an official recognition
of the vital Importance of food production
in winning the war; We must have food
and food cannot be produced without man
power.
Our farmers have been suffering from
labor shortage for many months, but this
new freezing" does not imply that sutfl-
cient farm labor is to be kept out of the
army to carry on all of the farm work.
This deferment order as we understand
it, does not apply to subsistence farms
which use the bulk of their production and
only sell the surplus To be considered for
deferment under this ruling farmer must
be able to prove that he is producing dairy
products, livestock or poultry on COM
mercial scale of some consequence to the
war effort.
From the amount of dairy products,
beef cattle and poultry produced in this
section, there should be some, however,
VINO 1O4 C114O NSASAAAAN
In explaining necessary man., Off
Gals defined him as one engaged full time
in essential work, who cannot be replaced
because of labor shortage, or whose re-
moval "would cause a serious loss of eff
fectiveness'' in the essential activity. Just
how necessary man is on farm IS hard
to say Even if it does not take much
skill in milking, mixer is essential when
there are some several COWS to be MIXED
and attended to every day.
There is a possibility, officials explain
that this farm program may be broadened.
Mr.. McNutt says that SHOULD production
of any other essential farm products
reach an equally critical situation, the
commission will consider appropriate &C
ton"
It is we'll that some action is being TAX
en- in the matter of farm labor. Here in
this section, where farming and dairying
are the chief industries farm labor has be-
come an acute problem. Some of the bet
ter known diaries have had to be discon-
tinued and some herds sold because of la
Dor shortage. The higher wages of war in
dustry coupled with the drafting of men
for military service have practically strip
ped this section of it's man power Any
aid the farmers can get toward easing the
labor situation will not only help them
with their problems, but will in turn help
the government with problems of produc-
ing food to win the war;
