UNEMPLOYED MAY BE TWELVE
MILLION
(Mille Laos County TimeS)

(M1lle LacS county IlmeS)
A recent survey by labor union
organizations reports that there will
be about twelve million people un-
employed in the United States when
the present war ends. George Meany,
secretary-treasurer of the American
Federation of Labor said in regard to
this report: "As friends of the private
enterprise system the American Fed
Grafton of Labor considers that it is its
duty to tell the nations indus
trialists in plain language that the
American people - after fighting and
bleeding and sweating to preserve
the nation - cannot be expected to,
and do not intend to, accept the
misery of widespread unemployment
for any protracted period of time" T"
Maybe not, but they did after the

they would kick back. They do, of
course, but not very forcefully, and
not effectively, at ALL
The conclusion is irresistible that
Berlin and Tokyo by this time must
realize that they cannot possibly
win; they can hardly keep up a de-
fensive war; it is long since they
have been able to do anything with
offensive fighting, and the initiative
months back has passed to the United
Nations.
Desperation.
So, when they now, in the face of
certain final defeat keep on sacrific-
ing needless hundred thousands of
lives, it must be out of a desperation
which is not unrelated to mental
alterations on the part of those who
are responsible. Usually, trained gen
erals have understood that as there
is time to fight, there is also a time
to quit; that time comes when all
resistance proves utterly hopeless and
useless - and that time already has
come for the two remaining Axis
powers. But they still keep on. Can
it be that they love to see the flow
of blood? Can it be the cave-man
instincts that find an outlet in the
mere killing for the sake of killing?
Cracking Up.
Everywhere on the Axis front the
picture is one of beginning col
lapse - first of all, of course, in the
actual field of military events.
But there are simultaneous in
dicatiOns Of a diplomatic and
political cracking up, and there
are very strong hints that the
small nations are not nearly as
scared of Hitler as they used to
be.
Last week the Firms were reported
to have sent "feelers" to Moscow in
the hope of establishing a basis for
peace negotiations The Soviet gov
ernment has not been wholly averse
to peace with Germany's reluctant
and unhappy Finnish ally, but it has
insisted that Finland, not Russia, must
take the first step. That is what has
been done now, according to reports
which seem plausible.
Danish Defiance.
Also there are uncontradicted ru-
mors that Roumania is anxious to
seek peace with the United Nations
the Balkan country no longer being
frightened by the Nazis as they were
once upon time.
And Denmark, time and again
showing her disgust with the.
Naxis, has point-blank refused to
yield to a Berlin demand that
her parliament be dissolved, and
German puppet government set
up in Copenhagen.
There was time when the Danes
could be overawed by the Nazi might
That time has passed. They now
openly defy Hitler and pay no heed
to his tyrannical orders which are
intended to tighten the fetters around
the country. Denmark lately has
shown increased willingness and
ability to shake off those hated fet-

Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
Much talk is taking place about
the future after the war. Some say that
it will be necessary to cut the Ameri-
can standard of living. AS long as this
country can produce enough of every
thing, there is no real reason for cut
ting our standard of living. This
country is nearly Self-sufficient and
the few items we need we can al
ways get by exchange for our sur
pluses. Besides this we can help other
countries by making gifts of some of
our surpluses and still have enough
for everybody. Why then all this talk
about hard times?
The two main dangers to our well
being are monetary and our foreign
policies. If American production is
to be stifled on account of monetary
reasons, or if American production
is to be dissipated in foreign adven-
lures, then we will have hard times
We should of course do our part in
the world setup. However, our busi-
ness should be cash on the barrel
head. Those who expect a whole lot
for nothing We should refuse to do
business with until they can straight
en- out their affairs, so that they can
produce something we want, or the
world trade needs.
After the last world war the above
causes were at the bottom of our
depressions. First money was tight
ened and then billions of dollars were
spent in foreign countries. Some Of
the favored countries were Germany,
Japan and Argentina. Gratitude plays
no part in foreign affairs. The coun-
tries we have helped the most turned
against us. What is to prevent our
''proteges" at the present time from
Stabbing us in the back later, after
we have made them strong? / know
of no country that has received more
favors than Japan the past 10 years.
Our reward was Pearl Harbor and
a real stab in the back.
Under the Farmer-Labor party we
had the real system and principles
ton and adequate distribution. Moth
ing for nothing is the only rule that
will work. The good things of life
belong to those who produce them
or their equivalent. Those who have
not the intelligence to plan and the
courage to act will always be poor
and hard up.
We need no new principles or
ideals. All we need is to put in prac-
tice what has been handed down to
us. Always help the weak and the
helpless, but that does not mean
that they should run us. We should
retain the whip hand. No nation has
monopoly on ingratitude - it is
quite common.
There are powerful vocal and we'll
financed groups that seem to think
that all there is wrong with this
world is our foreign policy. BY lit
tie hocus-pocus they seem to think
war can be prevented, when in fact,
in my opinion, most of what they
advocate will lead to perpetual war.
AS soon as one menace is destroyed
several others will arise. They miss
the basic laws of nature, the con-
slant strife and conflict for survival.
Many would divide the world into
two parts, the good and the bad. We
must learn that all have these two
dual qualities, which are at constant
conflict between each other Only
when the rules are just will this con-
flict subside. It cannot recede when
the products of the productive are
bartered away for the good will of
the Wanton and inert.

 Get those men away from this barracks, ordered the scantily clad intruder There are men sleeping in here"
 "Sleeping?" yelled the Sergeant. Get those gold bricks out here and fall in"
 The unidentified man disappered into the barracks and later emerged to announce the sleeping men had just finished a night flying mission. Before guardhouse lawyers, after he had made his apologies, Sgt. Joe demanded:
 How was I to know he was an officer?"
 He was wearing garters, wasn't he?" a priyayte replied.

WASHINGTON What have we here? The makings at long last of a federal sales tax?
 I wouldn't predict any such thing now, but certainly not since post Civil War days when the idea of a federal sales tax first reared it's ugly head Cto quote opponents) has it been given more consideration.
 When Chairman Robert L. Dough ton of the House Ways and Means Committee (not considered a pro- ponent of the sales tax told wit nesses at committee meeting that the committee and probably the House" would have an opportunity to vote on a federal sales levy, ob- servers pricked up their ears
 When he added that he couldn't reconcile the Treasury experts con tentions that an increase in income taxes would prevent imitation, while a sales tax would increase imitation, observers took it as something of a twO-by-four in the wind
 That doesn't mean that Dough- ton or a majority of the committee wants any part of a federal sales tax, but it does mean that the pres sure is getting heavy enough to make it politically expedient to give it a thorough airing.
 The argument for and against a federal sales tax are not nearly as complicated as they sound.
 Opponents claim that it would place an undue burden on the lower bracket earners (particularly below $3,O0O) since those persons spend all their money on necessities.
 Those who favor the tax say this inequity already has been taken care of in the staggering income taxes which hardly touch persons who make $3,OOO a year or less and earn two-thirds of the national inc come.
 Opponents say it would only add to imitation since workers in the lower income brackets would de- mand and have to have wage in- creases to make up for the ten per cent without lowering their stand ards of living. Proponents say this is ridiculous, that the levy would merely skim that portion of dan gerous money" off five-sixths of the national income where the imitation threat is greatest.
 The Treasury claims that tha| sales tax would be terribly expeA- siye to collect. Those who favor it point to the comparative small cost of collection of excise and luxury taxes and call it the simplest and cheapest tax conceivable to bring in.

 An American seaman's wife start ed a minor epidemic of Bible-read- ing not long ago with a letter to her husband calling his attention to Deuteronomy 24:5.
 He borrowed his chaplain's Bible and found:
 When a man taketh a new wife, he shall not go out to the wars, neither shall he be charged with any business: he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife whom he hath taken"
 The chaplain, with a smile, wrote formal memorandum to the ships executive officer:

That Sales Tax Man
 Is Here Again
Opponents Views

 Opponents point out that g states now have a sales tax and that to pyramid these taxes now would be to encroach on state rev enue methods This Is a serious hur- dle. Few states would be willing to give up or even telescope their rev enue system.
 Those who oppose the sales tax generally are Organized Labor, the Treasury, many other ranking New Deal officials and most of the pol iticians, who are afread of it's re- percussions at the voting booths. Those who favor it are notably the United States Chamber of Commerce. many university economists, and practically everyone who is earning more than $5,OOO a year.
 Does it have much chance of be- coming a law? l doubt it. but it's interesting that it's coming even this close

 Suddenly Mucky's platoon leader Second Lieut.. John Hager of Hous- ton, Texas, heard German voices in rayine farther down the wooded slope. He asked for volunteers to investigate. Muckey and a buddy of his, Staff Sgt Harold Pierson of Sidney, Iowa were the first to re- spond.
 Taking separate paths, they ap- preached the ravine. Muckey almost fell into the lap of forty Germans preparing a machine gun nest. Then cut of nowhere came Sgt. Pierson, yelling like an Indian and spraying lead from a sub-machine gun. He killed seven of the Nazis and the rest took to their heels. Muckey didn't hesitate. He set off into the woods in the direction the Germans had taken. He found first one Nazi. then another. In a short while he marched back to Lieut. Hager with 21 prisoners.
 Lieut.. Hager was all grins. Nice going" he said. By the way how much ammunition did you haye?"
