COMMENTS ON CURRENT TOPICS
BY DIR. W. ALEXANDER COX

Uncle Sam is asking US to buy
billions of dollars in war bonds
and stamps. Well, that is some
thing like liberty and freedom.
1t gives every one the privilege
of exercising the freedom and
liberty of a Republican form of
government.
Until recent years our govern
ment always took such methods
of raising money to finance its
various government functions.
1t was first Internal Revenue
which has been terribly depre-
ciated by the tendency to free
trade. The sale of government
bonds, and in dire emergencies
such as we are now going
through, it was the sales tax.
None Of these methods took
from the people, any privilege,
liberty or freedom. They served
all people alike, regardless of f.
nancial ability, race, creed or
color. The success of these
methods of financing the. gov
eminent is the greatest proof of
the loyalty and patriotism of
American Citizenry. Each and
every citizen felt his response
bility and met it. Finances were
raised also from property hold
erS. That is real estate and
personal property was taxed so
much on each thousand dollars
worth. Nobody objects to that.
Then the poll tax which every
body pays and then we have the
excise tax on property of a
fluctuating value, such as auto
mobiles and things of such a
nature.
The income tax which is
monarchial and consequently
totalitarian, proscriptive, dis
eliminating, oppressive without
limitation, and it's inequitable
progressivenesS, if continued,
would bankrupt the individual
as well as the nation. The
method of extracting it is very
painful. 1t naturally creates
excitement, anxiety and resent
ment in a people, who are led
to believe they are living under
the protection of a free and
equitable government.
We have a war to win. 1t will
take many billions of dollars to
bring it to an end and the most
desired victory. Now that Uncle
Sam has adopted the states
mans method, which means he
considers US intelligent Ameri-
can citizens rather than the
political expediency method,
which treats American Citizens
as if they were lot of sheep to
be Sheared of their wool with
out their consent, we should re-
spond most literally and pur-
chase as many stamps and
bonds as our means will permit.
An investment in War bonds
and stamps is the safest invest
mentS you can buy during these
hazardous times. Uncle Sam
has billions of gold in Kentucky,
Millions of silver at West Point,
and all his land and territorial
possessions in the world to back
such an investment.
Business investments, with
income taxes under a bureau
cratic set up of government, are
always risky. If we are sensible
we will take advantage of Uncle
Sans invitation and buy up
some government assets by
buying war bonds and stamps.
War bonds are the same as
money. You may keep them
anywhere for safety and they
will earn interest the same as
money in the bank. You may
cash them at anytime when you
need money in case of emer-.
gency. Most anybody will take
them in place of money on a
financial obligation.
After the war you will need
something substantial to hold
you up while factories and
wages are heioo readiuStRd tn

Union Rally Called
On 0PA Pledge Drive

To spread the OPA's home front
pledge campaign into all labor circles
in the city, meeting of officials and
delegates from all local unions has
been called for October 8 by the
OPA's Labor Advisory Comrnitte, 1t
was announced yesterday.
The campaign was indorsed by the
committee at a meeting last week,
according to Robert K. Thompson,
District OPA director, who said other
major groups are getting behind the
campaign.
DR.. Frederick E. Reissig, executive
secretary of the Washington Fed
Grafton of Churches, has pledged
the support of his organization.
'The whole price control and ra-
tioning program was initiated for
the welfare of the American people
and the most reliable consumer
groups are behind the program, DR..
Reissig said, Every attempt to
undermine the working of price con-
troll and rationing is thoroughly un-
American and every legitimate effort
to stamp out the black market and
make price control and rationing
more effective deserves the support
of good Americans. The Home
Front Pledge campaign is worthy
effort in the right direction"
Support of the schools in the
campaign has been pledged by DR..
Carroll r. Reed, first assistant Sill
perintendent of schools.

sure of the Allied ground forces,
would compel the Germans to fail
back steadily to the next natural

While medium bombers were con-
centrating on the enemy's evacua-
ton port of Leghorn, American
four -engined Liberators smashed at
rail yards at Pisa, encountering
neither German fighters nor anti
aircraft fire.
Mitchells and Marauders pounded
bridges, road functions and high
ways at Grottaminarda, Maddaloni
Benevento, Avellino, Cancello Mig
nano and Amorosi in the Naples
area. Many attacks were made on
roads around Aversa and Tore An
nunziata, and one group of Ameri-
can fighter -bombers destroyed %
trucks in a daylight assault on a
large concentration of enemy land
transport.
No German fighters were sighted
over the battle area during all these
operations. Returning flyers said a
haze covered the entire Naples area,
apparently from fires started in the
city by the Germans in an effort to
destroy everything of value.
A Cairo communique said that
light and heavy bombers of the Raj
attacked the Nazi airdrome at Ma
rita, on the island of Rhodes,
Thursday night for the third
straight night and that other Raj
planes raided the airdrome at Ma
leme on Crete. These operations
were carried out without loss.

Return Of 5 Senators
From Front Expected
10 Stir Strategy Debate
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Back from the war zones this
week will come five Senators who
have seen Americas military might
at first hand, and the halls of Con-
gress are likely to resound soon
thereafter with some sharply word
ed criticisms of affairs at and near
the fighting fronts.
Colleagues expect Senators Rus
sell of Georgia, Chandler of Ken
lucky and Mead of New York, DEM
ocrats, and Lodge of Massachusetts,
and Brewster of Maine, Republicans,
to bring back with them ammuni-
tion for hours of debate on questions
ranging from the postwar DISPOSE
ton of military airflelds to the ex-
tent of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's
authority in the Pacific.
Senator Chandler sent word ahead
that he intends to make the Senate
a platform. for an appeal to name
Gen. Macarthur the supreme COM
mander for the Pacific and Asia, in
cluding India, Burma and China.
Senator Chandler insists the
Southwest Pacific has not received
enough men, planes and guns and
that more military help must reach
China if that country is to continue
the fight against Japan. His view
has had some backing from Senator
Russell, chairman of the group.
The Senate will want to know
more about the charge made by
Senator Brewster in Algiers last
month that the American North
African Economic Board was con-
tracing for large amounts of wheat
there at prices SO to go cents
bushel higher than In the United
States.
Returning little more unified than
when they left Washington several
weeks ago, the committee members
are expected to split into groups for
reports to the various committees
they represent.
Senators Chandler and Lodge will
tell the Military Affairs Committee
what they know about the disposi-
ton Of men and materials all over
the world.

mittee to check several subjects, in

The award, which arrived by mail,
accompanied by no explanatory let

Germans Renewing
Peace Propaganda
As Armies Retreat
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, Sept. 25.-While the
breath of military disaster blew
cold on their necks in Russia
today, the Germans went to
work on another propaganda
campaign featuring peace ru-
nlors from many quarters.
High lighting the inspired
web of rumor was the report from
neutral Spain that the satellite
Rumanians had sent representatives
to Turkey to negotiate an armistice
with the Allies.
The main purpose of the weekend
campaign appeared to be to frighten
the Allies into the belief that some
sort of Nazi peace with Soviet Rus
sia was possible.
A report that Germany itself was
throwing out peace feelers 'in every
direction" was brought to London
by a traveller from the Mediterranean
area.
Claim Agreement.
The London Daily Express, under
the heading "Goebbels Starts New
Peace Lie" reported that the Ger
mans had begun to whisper in the
Balkans that they were Withdraw
ing from Russia by agreement with
the Soviet Government.
Having withdrawn to short line
between Russia and Poland--so ran
this German story-Hitler would be
in favorable position to talk peace
with Premier Stain and draw 2000,-
600 men out of the east to confront
the Allies in the west and south.
This was described here as "sheer
fantasy" There was not single
bit of information suggesting the
existence of any genuine German
peace proposal to anybody.
In the Balkans, where the fight
ing Yugoslavs have opened major
military campaign against the Ger
mans, Hitler was playing a less
obvious game. There the Nazis
abetted the circulation of the Ru-
manian peace rumor, in an apparent
effort to cover up the steadily
worsening situation in Hungary.
Charge Communist Plot.
The German radio elaborately de-
MED rumors that changes shortly
would be made in the Hungarian
government as the result of an in
creasingly strong and aggressive
democratic movement. 1t quoted
a local Hungarian Quisling as de-
claring that democracy is unac-
ceptable for Hungary because it
means wavering leadership, which
opens the road to Bolshevism."
Another German broadcast quoted
a Rumanian police official as saying
that communist leadership was
preparing an attempt to overthrow
the present pro-Axis government
and install various personalities of
former democratic parties"
Hungary and Rumania, mean
while, continue to scowl at each
other over the possession of Tran
sylvania, and the whole of the Bal
kans was frightened with mutual
dislike and suspicious, to the injury
Of the Nazis' military situation there.
An article in the influential Turk
ish newspaper Aksham, written by
Necmeddin Sadak, who is close to
the Turkish foreign Office, advised
the Bulgarians they would be wise
at this time to return some of the
territories they had taken from their
Balkan neighbors, Greece, Yugo-
slavia and Rumania.

the front to indicate the enemy
would try to defend the Foggia air.
base.
The effectiveness of the steady
blasting of roads behind the
enemy's front lines by all kinds of
American and British warplanes
was proved by reconnaissance. An
official air force statement said
roads near the lines "are choked
with traffic and bombed vehicles
are locking the steep winding
mountain tracks"
Destruction by bombing of the
railway lines has also led to a short
age of transport" the statement said
in celebrating on the difficulties the
Germans are having in getting es-
sential supplies to their troops.
"a complete German ammunition
train abandoned in a captured rail-
way yard consisted of 80 wagons
full OF bombs, light and heavy shells
and machine gun and flax ammuni-
ton. Allied bombers also had de-
stroyed an electric railway line at
several points and thus kept valu-
able cargo from German troops"
Nazis Seize Italian Transport.
The destruction of trucks by Allied
planes caused the Germans to seize
all Italian transport, and many
towns are dependent on donkey
carts to haul food. Some civilians
are reported to have been getting
only 4 ounces of bread daily for
several weeks.
The 5th Army's advance, described
officially as several miles, put
the Allies in command of several
crossroads north and northeast of
Salerno.
A headquarters spokesman said
Allied troops who mounted the
heights overlooking the Naples plain
could watch "our air forces knock
ing hell out of enemy communica-
tions in the area below"
"The tempo of the BATTLE" the
spokesman said, will increase tre-
mendously' once Gen. Clark's forces
drive the Germans from their
mountain positions onto the plains
below.
Nazi Casualties Heavy.
Official reports said that every
heavy casualties" had been inflicted
on the enemy since the drive on
Naples began and that the bag of
prisoners was growing constantly.
American and British losses were
described as comparatively light.
Uondon dispatches quoted
German broadcasts as saying the
Nazis were putting out new
alarms of imminent Allied land
ings in Italy, either on the Adri-
attic or Tyrrhenian coast. Berlin
propagandlsts also renewed their
campaign regarding Allied cas-
ualties, which they declared were
10000 in the Salerno landing
alone.
German broadcasts estimated
Allied forces in the Salerno area
at l6 British and three Amer
ican divisions, two British brig

vision, two British invasion" di-
visions, two British armored divi-
sions and one American armored

Liberators Blast Pisa Rail Yards.
In spite of the advance of several
miles made by the 5th Army, a
headquarters spokesman said the
progress was comparatively slow
because the terrain was perfectly
suited to defense. Although the
mountains are unsuited for armored
warfare, the Germans were using
small groups of tanks to augment
their 88-milimeter artillery and
heavier guns emplaced in the hills.
