per cent OF the increase was in
airplanes alone. Much of this in
creased production, says Mr.. Ran
kin, can be traced directly to the
expanded volume of electric power.
BY 1889, Japan proper had expand
ed her power capacity to about
10 1000 100000 kilowatt hours, max
ing her rank third among the world
powers in the matter of power pro-
lduction.
Mi Rankin thinks that Japan
recently has been producing in her
own and conquered territories 1O3
billion kilowatt-hours a year, while
the total production for the United
States in 1941 cit has been stepped
up since them was only 139 bill
lion kilowatt-hours.
The two great mysteries of this
war have been how Russia was
able to build war machine that
could hold the Nazis and how Jap
an could throw a modernly-e equip
ped army and navy into the Pacific
that could overrun SO much terri
tory in SO short time
Russia did what Germany had
done earlier-operated in such Sc
crecy that few ever got out of the
country with even a hint of what
was going on. But apparently Jap
an left handwriting all over the
walls and the only mystery now is
why so few persons were aware of
1t when dark days came at Pearl
Harbor, Midway, Hongkong, Bataan
and Singapore.

Carroll Carter Exonorated

Under escort OF the full body

County Treasurer Carroll Carter
steps from under the Damoeles
sword of Prosecuting Attorney
Shorett, his reputation untarnish-

Any further attempts by the
prosecutor to smear the county
treasurer will convince all lovers
of fair play that at best, the GUS
ter suit was spite work.
The forced immersion given

more popular than the day he
was smeared.

traordinary to the Southern Con-
gressional Bloc.) And It finally
describes the results of this pol
icy: the sowing of the seeds of
postwar fasicsm; the growing
feeling OF millions of Negroes
that this is, "a white mans war"
and that there Is little to choose
between the democracies and the

The military jim-c row is
smoothing the path of postwar
reaction, that the above state of
mind is widespread among Ne
groes = these are facts, whether
Lester M. Hunt likes them or not.
Our pamphlet didn't create these
facts; it merely recorded them.
However. to Hunt there is no
difference between recognizing
the existence of something and
advocating it. The very passages
he quotes, however, show that
the pamphlet condemns racial an
tagonism and fascism, and that
1t advocates treating Negro sold
iers like human beings precisely
because that is the best way to
prevent racialism and postwar
fascism.
How does Hunt propose to deal
with these problems? In his en-
tire article there is not a single
expression of sympathy for the
Negro people, not a single word
of condemnation of the reaction
airy un-American jim-crow poll
cies now being pursued by the
American navy and army. There
is not a word of support for the
struggle the Negroes of America
are waging for their democratic
rights - and, Lester M. Hunt is
not very bright as a trade union
list, IL he imagines that future
fascist demagogues will not ex-
plot the present tragic division
between Negroes and whites in
order to fasten their yoke on the
entire American working class re-

fight Is also labor's fight.

OUR SACRED

BY RUTH TAYLOR

For the support of this Dec
laration. with a firm reliance on
the protection of Divine Provi-
dence, we mutually pledge to
each other our Lives, our For
tunes, and our Sacred Honour"
The first part of the Declare
tion of Independence with its
glorious credo of Americanism Is
well know to all of US, but how
many of US remember that the
Declaration of Independence de-
mands service from us, in return
for the rights of life, liberty.
and the pursuit of happiness?
Our fortunes, whether they be
large or small, are but a low
price to pay for the freedom I'M
der which they were built up.
without liberty where would they
be- We have the answer in every
land where the democracy haters
have conquered a careless. unco-
ordinated, people.
Our lives would they be
worth anything under the iron
hand of a dictator? Devoid of
freedom to worship, to speak, to
study, even to think what
could life hold to those of us
who deem liberty the greatest es-
sential in our lives.
But the third part OF the
pledge is the greatest safeguard
of our liberties.
What is our Sacred Honour:
According to the dictionary, Hon
or is "the sense of what is right
and conformable to a high stand
ard of conduct" And, according
to the Bible - "a mans pride
shall bring him low; but honour
shall uphold the humble in
spirit
Doing what we should because
1t is the right and honorable
thing to do is the basis of sta
BILE society. There is no security
unless men and nations can de-
pend upon each others pledged
word.
Reliance on our sacred honor
has been the bulwark of our de-
Tense during all the trials
through which the nation has
passed. The pledge of not just
our lives, or our fortunes, but
our sacred honour as well - t4sat
is what made and will continue
to make work = that is what
will ever increasingly broaden -
the Declaration of Independence!
AS a nation of men and women
of many races, creeds and origins
bound together by common
ideal, let us therefore on this
one hundred and sixty-seventh
anniversary oft he signing of the
Declaration of Independence SOL
EMMY repeat this pledge and con-
secrate ourselves anew to the
ideals of the democratic way of
