TO THE EDITOR:
( WOULD appreciate this
Il chance in presenting my
views in regard 10 the question
of Russia and Poland.
a writer for another publica-
tion has presented biased ac-
count of the problem concerned.
shall counter his statements.
Russia most recently an
nounced in an official statement
that ANY one who thinks that
she shall cede her part OF Po-
land must be a fool. -
A biased journalist claims
that she is in the right in this
stand.
Russia first rose 10 power in
the 18th Century through the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Poland.
The land she received then she
never held previously.
When the first World War
broke out, Poland rose and
fought.
Russia did not come 10 the
peace conference that followed
and by SO doing left the Polish
eastern boundaries in doubt.
In reality, Poland had Just
claim on all lands as far as KEY
and the Volga River.
In 1920 the BolSheVlkS in
vaded Poland. moved 10 as far
as Warsaw sweeping all resist
anCe in front of them.
She then sent agents over all
of Europe. just as Hitler did be-
fore this war.
Russia was an arsenal while
Poland had not one ammunition
factory in all her domain. and
received from the sympathetic
countries only advice and offers
Of a shameful peace which she
refused.
Here the barefooted Poles
fought off the invincible boards
and crushed them IN manner
that brought the admiration OF
the world.
Since that time Poland has
been in all respects a good
neighbor 10 Russia
And Yet we find the CRY OF
imperialism thrown At A Coun-
try that seeks only her prewar
boundaries
/ Venture 10 predict that this
Is Just prelude and excuse for
the imperiallStiC designs of Rus

then, on the Instructions Of the
'retread. they just dumped the

that case, after the ship had been

War Mortality Drops

War Mortality Drops
4 MEXICAN fathers and mothers and others having
4 loved in the mighty armed forces the United
states has mustered for this great war, will be
tremendously heartcncd by recent statement by
Surgeon General Ross T. Mcn;yre Of the United States
Navy.
He gives us the amazing news that LESS THAN
ONE PER CENT Of the men wounded in the Soomons
have failed to recover.
This compares with mortality rate of per cent
among Americans wounded in the first World War
He reports further that less than per cent of the
men receiving abdominal wounds fail to survive-and in
the last the death rate in this dreaded category
EIGHTY PER CENT.
The grimmes aspect of war has always been the
plight of the wounded
Until very recent times wounded man in war was
considered dead
War is utterly ruthless Battles are foughtfar from
medical bases and of the heat of battle there
is little time or opportunity to for fallen
THIS war is little different from any other in that
| respect
But is different in a very vital respect-and
especially different the way America is fighting it.
Thanks to marvellous medical and scientific dis
coveries every American soldier essential drugs
which prevent infections. He his wounds if
he is able to do so. "
He attends fallen comrades with hardly pause in
combat operations And the result u.s. if he goes
unattended for hours his chance of survival is i'm
measuraby better than that of the wounded soldier in
earlier
This is only of the reasons for his better
chance"
The medical services of the armed forces are vastly
better organized for prompt and efficient treatment of
wounded than ever before
The availability of blood plasma for emergency
fusions contributed in veritabe rivers by patriotic
American and women has been further boon to the
wounded
CONSEQUENTLY, the American people are assured
~ that there is not merely neglect of the wounded
IN this but that there astounding and unpre-
cedented salvage of the wounded.
Nothing comforts the families and friends and coun-
trymen of our American fighting men more than this
The experience in all wars is that for every man
killed three wounded And the fact that we are
assured of the survival and recovery this vital
two-thrds Of all casualties brings relief and courage
to us all.
AS the war goes on, the American people can count
on the medical services of the armed forces to BETTER
their fine record in this important matter.
A ND the American people continue and improve
y their own participation in this wonderful work
They must support greater volume the blood banks
81 the American Red Cross They must enlist and train
themselves IN the voluntary open civilians
ana they must keep on buying the war bonds which
supply hospitals and field units 10 less than they provide
me implements OF destruction with which the war
DC fought and won
We cannot hope to avoid all the grim consequences
oi thiS terrible war But 1t is hearenng know we are
ape 70 minimize those consequences greatly and with
sucn wonderful restoration Of life and health to those
who serve US so well

Workmen's Compensation Law

AT the next session of the Mississippi legislature a
fight will be made to enact a workmen's compensation
law. We are the only state in the union not to have sucn
a law on our statutes.
The fight for such a law has been going on for years
and led by the people who desire Mississippi to be RID OF
the factors retarding its industrial development. FOR
that is exactly what lack of this law means. lndustrlallsts
do not look with favor upon Mississippi, the mecca OF
damage suit lawyers looking for a fee. Industry cannot
operate in such an atmosphere. For years these lawyers
have prevented the passage of this law in the state. In
doing so they have robbed Mississippi OF many outstand-
ing industries that would have come to the state and en-
ployed thousands of persons at good wages. Only by at
tracing industry and payrolls to the Magnolia State Will
we ever rise from our present low-income status.
r. L. Ingalls,, Sr, president of the ingalls, ~Shipbuild-
ing Corporation at Pascagoula, and r. G. Letourneau,
of Vicksburg, two of the states largest industrialists,
have come out in favor of passage of a fair compensation
act. They have urged that the people of the state demand
such an act so that Mississippi may enjoy it's rights
through full development of it's resources.
When a candidate for the legislature calls upon you,
Mr.. Holmes County voter, ask him how he feels about
passage of a fair workmen's compensation law. The only
way such a law can be passed is through the will of the
people. Too much politics and money in the past have
defeated the bill. Let's not let it happen again.
We are going to need all the industry we can get to
give jobs to our returning service men.

America Faces s. Billion Debt

How long can a nations economic system remain
secure in the face of a staggering debt? That is a ques-
ton many good citizens in the United States have been
bordering for some time.
There is a growing prospect that Americas national
debt will be over 3 hundred billion dollars $4,000, 100000
O0O), when the war is over. Right now it is above 1876 bill
lion dollars and by the middle of 1914 it is expected to be
21O billion dollars. Altogether the Administration has
asked for or Congress has appropriated a total of 1873
billion dollars for war purposes.
Just what do these figures mean? Rep. Engel, Mich
igan, points out that the expected debt-total will be over
twice the assessed value of all the property in the United
States.
Mississippis share of that debt will be $4,974,687,-
288 on a per capita basis, or $40 percent of it's $500, 145,-
976 assessed valuation. Only one state, Arkansas, would
have a larger per capita percentage than Mississippi.
Arkansas share of the debt would be $4,440, 7O3,586 or
931 percent Of her 476,837,675 assessed valuation.
Any business man or small property owner knows
that rarely can he borrow over half of the assessed valu-
alton of any piece of property he might own. The fact
that our nation owes twice what we're worth and that
in some states like Mississippi eight times what we are
worth should lead to some serious thinking.
Certainly most thinking citizens will agree it is
time for Washington to cut non-essential expenditures
entirely out and get more value received for the money
being spent in the war effort. The high wages paid by
the government in defense plants mount up to astronom-
ical figures. The public is just beginning to realize how
much.
