WASHINGTON, April CUP) -
Secretary of Interior Harold L.
Ickes said today that postwar de-
velopment of industrial and COM
mercial opportunities to be opened
by the new Canadian-AlaSkan mill
tary highway will affect the whole
economic structure of the North
American continent"
Ickes' statement followed au-
thorization by President Roosevelt
permitting the National Park Serv-
ice to assist the war department
in making a study to insure orderly
development along the Alaska por-
ton of the new highway
MAKE SIMILAR STUDY
He said he expected that the
Canadian government will make a
similar study along the Canadian
portion of the highway.
Ickes said the new route is
destined to become an important
travel artery through great
scenic wilderness, one that will be
of recreational Importance and will
serve the settlers who will follow
when the road is opened to public
travel.
But this is only one phase of

Shattering Nerves

AS result of the gigantic air raids on
punishment the human nervous system
can take.
If we picture the effect it would have
on the people of this town to have few
bombers come over every night and drop
block-busters on our homes, our stores
and our buildings, it is hard to imagine
that we would be able to put up with it
for very long The deaths and the injuries
would get us down, but the thing that
would probably do the most to shatter our
nervous systems would be the lack OF
sleep and the constant fear.
The people of London took terrific pun
ishment for few nights, but they will ad-
NIT now that they couldn't have stood it
much Ionger-that they might have given
up if the Germans had been able to contin
ue their night-after- ght raids.
In many German cities the punishment
doled out by the Allies has been much
greater than was ever inflicted on any
city of England In those cities the Ger
man people not only suffer from fear of
bombs but also from the fear of what the
Gestapo will do to them if they show
signs of weakening under the strain.
If the Allies continue their heavy raids,
and there is no reason to think they won't,
it shouldn't take very much longer before
German morale is entirely shattered.
Some people predict that the German
phase of the war will end by Christmas.
We doubt if it can be quite that soon, but
by Christmas we expect the Germans will
at least be ready to admit that their defeat
is inevitable.

Paying The Bill

One phase of the Wagner-Murray Bill
now before Congress, to broaden the So
cial Security Act, of which not too much
is said by it's supporters, is cost of the pro-
posal. The old fallacy has been encour-
aged that a maganimous government
stands ready to give" something to the
people once the measure is passed Pro-
visions for medical and hospital care con-
tanned in the bill are heavily stressed with
the inference that they too will be free.
Such high-pressure sales tactics are
fraudulent The government will never
give anything away because it can give
nothing until it first takes it from the peo-
ple If the Wagner Bill is made into law,
the government will begin Immediately to
collect additional billions Of dollars in
taxes to pay for the "benefits" it will later
hand out AS a doctor recently told a pa
tent eff you earn 5000 a month"; your
(social security bill will be $1,000

Every time a deduction is made from
the salaries and wages Of the people and
turned over to government, the power of
the government over the people grows &C

accept necessarily high deductions togeth-

Third Year OF War

Tuesday marked the beginning Of the
predicted by leaders that it will be the
bloodiest year of the struggle. But it is
also believed that our losses will not be
in vain; for it is also predicted that we will
win decisive victories on every front
Our nation once described helpless by
our enemies, is now armed to the teeth
with the worlds best weapons. From the
beginning it had the will to win and now
it has the means.
At President Roosevelts request, the
anniversary of the treacherous attack of
the Japanese on this nation at Pearl Har-
Dor, on December 7, 1941, while their en-
voys were talking peace in Washington,
was not formally observed, but we are sure
that every patriotic American remembered
and made a new resolve to do all possible
to help bring an end to this war.
The world was reminded that our ma
tons leaders and their allied colleagues
will carry forward plans, already far ad-
vanced for the destruction Of the Japanese
empire and the unconditional defeat of
Germany. Recently, at Cairo, President
Roosevelt, Prime Minister Winston Chur-
chill and Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek
planned the fate of Japan in terms that
nations leaders cannot mistake.
A few days later, President Roosevelt,
Churchill and Joseph Stain mapped out
in detail, drives that will smash Germany
into defeat, possibly in 1914.
We are warned that it will be the
bloodiest year of the war as well as the
most climatic It is predicted that in 1914
we will see, in Europe:
l. A piling up of destruction visited
upon Germany from the air.. ~:~.
g. Intensification of the Anglo-Ameri-
can drive up the Italian Peninsula, posi-
bly, carrying past the Italian borders into
Germany or France.

Christmas Shopping

It is too late to issue further warnings
about shopping early; for the period of
early shopping is past and those who have
not done theirs are already little late.
However, there is still time enough and
there are still gifts to be found right here
at home If you have not done your shop
ping, do it now, and remember, when you
trade at home you help to make Christmas
merry for hometown merchants.
Remember, too that this is a year of
war and substitutes, so don't be disappoint-
ed if you can't find all of everything you
want, there is always some good substi-
tute Remember, too, that this is year
when practical, useful gifts will be appre-
ciated more than ever.
This is also year that people should
be more appreciative of everything, par
ticularly of their friends and their families.
And of course gifts they receive from them
will be more appreciated than ever, since
everyone knows that many things are hard
to get.
Don't consider your Christmas shopping
a burden because some things are hard to
find Remember it is a privilege to live
in a country where you are able to make
any selection of gifts. Shopping should be
one of the things about Christmas that we
enjoy, and we should not put it off any
longer.

for those industries and their
management.
During the war, according to
the survey, the farmers feel that
their relations with big business
have become better than they
were before. This is not based
on any new deal between indus
try and the farmer but is prob
ably due to a greater respect on
the part of each group for what
the other is doing. The farmers
are taking their hats off to in
dustry for its amazing records in
producing planes, tanks and guns
in spite of labor troubles and
difficulties in getting materials.
And the industrialists are prais-
ing the production records es-
tablished by the farmers in spite
of labor shortages, machinery
shortages and pricing problems.
Furthermore, both groups are
more cognizant than ever before
of their interdependency. The
farmer realizes that part of his
present prosperity is due to the
increased activity of industry.
And the businessman realizes
that there would be chaos rather
than prosperity in our country
today if the farmer had fallen
down on the job.
If, after the war, industry can
continue to keep up todays rate
of production, the farmer knows
that he will continue to have a
good market for his produce and
will have little to worry about.
To achieve permanent high pro-
duction by industry and thus a
permanent market for farm
goods, the farmer will invariab-
ly take sides with business man.

TOMORROW

FARMERS
business

| FARMERS business
A group of big businessmen
were recently pleasantly surpris-
ed to learn, as a result of sur
vey among farmers, that farmers
in general don't think Industrial
lists have horns.
In fact, as a result of the sur
Vey, they found that many farm
ers are sympathetic with the
problems of big business-per-
haps a lot more sympathetic than
businessmen are with the prob
lens of the farmer.
Many businessmen have never
realized how closely their prob
lens are related to those of the
farmer-but the farmer has
realized this right along. The
farmer sympathizes with indus
try's labor problems because he
has very similar labor problems.
He may not be involved with I'M
ions (although even that is a
threat) but when wages go up in
industry the only possible way
that a farmer can keep his help
from going to the city is to raise
farm wages.
And the farmer is equally con-
cerned with legislation which
aims at controlling his output
and production. Just as the bu-
sinessman wants to be free to
operate his business as he pleases,
so does the average farmer want
to be able to produce as much or
as little as he wants of any COM
modify and to charge whatever
price he finds necessary to as
sure himself of a fair profit. He
wants legislation to protect him
against unfair buying practices
but, in general, he is more avid
than is the modern businessman
about having his success or his
failure depend largely on how
good a job he does and the laws
of supply and demand.
The farmer considers himself a
capitalist. He is proud Of being
the most independent business
man in America. He is in bust
ness for himself and wants to
run that business in his own way
without interference from any
one.
If he makes a good profit, one
of the first things he will do
with his surplus money is to in
! vest it in the industries in which
he has conference.-the company
from which he bought a good
tractor or a good truck or a good
automobile. If the holdings of
stock in large companies were
analysed on a rural-urban basis,
most businessmen would probab-
ly be greatly surprised to learn
how large a part of big business
is owned by the farm population.
The farmers may be suspicious
of industries they don't know
about. In the past there have
been plenty Of cases where they
have been sold worthless stocks
and have been 'taken in" in 9TH
er ways by city slickers. But, on
the other hand, many prosperous
farmers have for years had stea-
dy income coming in from their
Investments in reliable industries
and they have the utmost respect
