SALUTE TO

(Ontario Daily Report

NOnldfIo DdllN hCpbl -
After conducting a nationwide survey
of conditions in retail trade. the Depart
mant of Commerce announces that most
retail enterprises have done better IN
adjusting their businesses to radically
changing conditions than was generally
expected" Or in the language of the
Wall Street Journal, through comblna-
tion of "resourcefulness and. magma

two million retail stores in the u. S. will

Editorials and Comment
WE BEG TO DISSENT,
MR.. SECRETARY

Seldom do we have to disagree with
Secretary of State Cordell Hull, whose
direction of foreign policy is to our way
of thinking. perhaps the brightest spot
in the entire operation of the federal ad-
mnistratlon.
Yet there are instances in which we
feel that Secretary Hull has not FULLY
considered all implications of situation.
Such an instance was the secretary act
Wednesday in denouncing critics OF the
administration foreign policy who, he
said, poured out vicious and venomous
comment while President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Winston Churchill were
working on Allied war problems.
Hull said that the people who DelleNed
the government to be IN error should wait
until they were in possession OF the factS
before making their attacks.
This column is in the position of dis
agreeing with the critics, yet supporting
their right to voice their criticisms. Ot
all the administration policies, the tor
eign policy is the one we have most con-
sistently supported, and continue to sup
port We do not like the administration
handling of domestic affairs, but we are
whole-haartedly in accord with its stor-
eign policies.
Yet we believe that others, who may
not agree with the foreign policy as we
do. have every right in the world to
voice their criticisms without being de
nounced for doing so.
Secretary Hull seemingly based his at
tack on the critics on the fact that they
should have kept still while Roosevelt
and Churchill were comforting in North
Africa.
He evidently ignored the fact that the
critics did not even know the President
and Churchill were in North Africa, nor
that they were meeting anywhere, Tor
any purpose Of, if he took it into con-
sideration, he based his accusations on
the assumption that those who are kept
in ignorance should not speak out at all.
There we disagree most heartily.
If all critics had to keep still because
they did not know all the facts, the ad-
ninistraton could silence all criticism
melaly by withholding all facts. Criti-
cism. even unfounded and based on half
knowledge is one Of democracy's most
trustworthy weapons for use in BRING
ing to light the true facts. That those
facts may confound the critics Is neither
here nor there; what is important is that
they must come to light.

FOOD SHORTAGE GREATER
THAN THAT OF GASOLINE

ga food shortage which will
exact far greater sacrifices from ci-
villains than has the shortage of gas
oline or rubber is here today and
will be worse tomorrow" w. G..
Wysor, Richmond, Va, general
manager of Southern States Coop
erative, said in an interview on Feb
ruary Is.
1.-THE best we can hope for with
all of our agricultural resources is
to have enough food to remain
healthy Mr.. Wysor continued.
"Unless present manpower and
farm price policies are changed, and
changed quickly before the spring
planting season gets under way, a
dangerous food shortage in 1913 is
inevitable.
WARS can be lost on the home
front as well as on the fighting
front. AS far as the home front is
concerned, the greatest danger OF
losing the war lies in shortage OF
food which is just as much a NUM-
ton of war as are planes and tanks
and guns.
Lack of labor is the basic factor
threatening agricultural produc-
tion," he declared. '.Other, but less
critical, handicaps are inadequate
prices for some farm products, lack
of farm machinery, and shortage OF
fertilizer and other farm production
supplies.

NEED FOR FOREST PRODUCTS
MADE BASIS FOR DEFERMENT

Local draft boards have been in
structed by the National Head
quarters of the Selective Service
System to give consideration to de-
ferment claims of farmers who pro-
.duce forest products, according to c.
F. Winslow, extension forester for
the University of Maryland.
AS a guide in draft classification,
he says, the goal of 16 war units has
been set up as the minimum number
of units necessary to entitle the
registrant to deferment He ex-
plains that war units are a meas
ure of the production achievement
in producing essential farm COM
modities. The latest regulation add
ing forest products to the list of
needed war materials, he states, is
in recognition of the increased i'm
portance as strategic war mater
ial, and of the farmers ability to
get these supplies to the market.
The equivalent of one war unit
may be earned, Mr.. Winslow says,
by any one of the following prac-
tees: Delivering 10000 board feet
of logs or piling to local mill or
shipping point; for saving 5000
board feet of logs on small mill
located on or near the farm; for
hewing 200 railroad ties; for cutting
500 fence posts or Is cords of pulp
wood, fuel wood, bolts for excelsior,
or handle wood.
The farmer may earn his war
units entirely through agricultural
practices, or through producing for
est products, or through any COM
bination of the items in these two
general classifications.
