Our Year of Decision

But how are we going to have
free American economy after the
war-the type that opens up new
frontiers of opportunity through the
investment of capital-with gov.
eminent which does not BELIEVE
in free enterprise, does not EN-
COURAGE it. and in all it's past
policies has disparaged and i'm
paired it?
If we do not have government
with FAITH in American free enter.
prise, pledged to support and develop
it, what chance do we have of build
ing national economy after the war
capable of giving our people profit
able employment IN industries pro-
ducing peacetime commodities as
adequate and superior as the weap-
ons with which we are now winning
the war?
HNHE government we nave NOW
L does not have faith in American
free enterprise.
It is the government we had in the
years before the war, when free en-
terprise was discouraged and dis
paraged, when legitimate and pro-
ductive industry was handicapped
and harried, stifled and strangled, by
self seeking New Deal politicians.
If we are to have the SAME
government after the war-and it is
now bidding for prolongation and
perpetuation of it's powers-what are
we to expect from it but more dis
couragement and disparagement of
the system of free enterprise which
has always meant and will always
mean so much to us?
In addition to the logical and
sensible IL -point program of objec-
tives which the United States Cham
Der of Commerce proposes, the
American people need ONE POINT
program which is more important
than all other detectives and is in
deed the parent of all the others.
America needs most of all AN
AMERICAN COVE RN M E N T,
pledged to the free institutions of our
country, believing in those institu-
tons, faithful to them-and morally
and honestly competent to serve and
preserve them.
This is a decision the American
people must make. II
This is THEIR YEAR OF De
CISION.

DUT then, as now, Europe and its
- cagey politicians and diplomats
had us hypnotized.
We are slowly going ahead in the
Pacific-thank Heaven!
But there-and~there forever in
our ,history-will stand the black
blot of Pearl Harbor.
Lack of foresight, ignorance.
Supplying optimism. BOTH EYES
ON EUROPE. They are the deeper
historical causes of Pearl Harbor.
They are the reasons why our
boys died in focks at Tarawa and
Saipan. We do not listen, in peace
time, to the voices of our Senator
Shermans and our Homer Leas.
Are we to repeat our stupidities
Of the past?
Will we listen to the pleas from a
newer Japan" at the peace table;
from England, France and Russia
from those who do not care boot
in Hades for our safety in the Pacific
sn-long as they can supervise the
new barbecue party in Europe?
What about OUR postwar Pacific
policy?
What is it? Who knows anything
about it?
Are we going to leave Japan and
the Pacific once more to Europe
Are we going to remain silent, as
usual, until it is too late?
We should be the DOMINANT,
NO. l POWER in the Pacific.
We should have specific policy
along that line NOW.
We should tell it to England,
Russia and France-and take no
orders from them in regard to the
world of the Pacific.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-07-29

Instead of that we listened to the
siren voices in the League of Ma
tons, which was part of the setup
of the Treaty of Versailles.
1t is true that we were not ulti-
mately party to the treaty, but
nevertheless, we supinely obeyed the
behests of those European Mr.. Fix
its, who of course cared nothing
about the future safety of the
United States.
We acquiesced then in the extern
sion Of the power of Japan, although
we had been told as early as 1901 by
Homer Lea in his "The Valor of
Ignorance" of the rising power and
menace of Japan.

revolt of the German generals
are known, that question can't
be answered directly with any
confidence. But il can be said
that responsible quarters here
have been reckoning for many
weeks with the probability that
Germany can be smashed by
Christmas and they foresee a
possible combination of circum-
stances which would produce
the collapse much Sooner-Say
September.
Everything occurring during
the last fortnight has pointed up
these possibilities. The Russians
have battered Hitler's east front
into a pulp and are nearing the
WiSla (ViStula) River to bring
the war TO Germany'S doorstep.
Their momentum has become so
great that bringing them even
temporarily To a halt would re-
Quire a Superhuman effort.
The Germans in this fifth year
of war are not superhuman.
IF GERMANY goes down TO
i quick defeat this summer,
there will be no question as to
whom the chief credit will go.
1t will belong 10 the Red army.
Other factors are important,
too. British and American land
power in Normandy has grown
TO a point where if IT could burst
deciSively out of the narrow con-
fines of the Norman peninsula
il would be extremely hard 10
halt with the reserves Rommel
has available.
And there is the obvious shift
of Turkey toward belligerency.
And there is the sudden do
nestle crisis inside Germany,
which, whatever the true facts,
can do nothing but weaken the
Reich and hasten collapse,
Even German morale which
will one day class as the one
great phenomena Of this -~aFI
cannot stand that sort of thing
very long.
That is what makes it so
unfortunate that the Allies are
not surging forward from the
west as the Russians are from
the east.
QUESTION No. 2: Hbg don't

Britain launch an offens,ue from
the Norman bridgehe1d COM
parable IN intensity to the Rus
sian ofensiUes?
Only high military authority
could answer that question with

such an offensive Is impending.
That one hasn't been launched

exploit Germany'S internal Crl-
Sis and her defeats IN the East.

to make applicants sign contracts

berty.
All a teacher does now Is promise
to teach-and that is exactly as 1t
should be.
There Is no reason in the world
why a community should try to tell
a teacher, any more than It would
try to tell bank clerk, that he
can't smoke mr. dance.
WIN PERSONAL FREEDOM
And because he has been hired
to teach history is no reason why
the community should expect him
to stay In town over week-ends SO
that he can take on q Sunday
School class and be seen at prayer
meeting.
The teaching profession In the
past has lost a lot Of good teach
ers Just because they were indie
pendent enough to resent having
the town tell them how to lead
their personal lives.
But the war has won personal
freedom for teachers-and II they
are smart enough to stick together
they can keep that freedom after
the war u over.

Papa's Shoe
Stamps Go To
Rest OF Family

NEA staff CORRESPONDENT

4NCfA 0S0A NOAAOcRVhoOAAS
Washington, Jan. 22-Father may
pay the bill, but mother takes the
shoe stamp for other members of
the family. That's part of the shoe
supply picture. Mems shoes are ade-
quate in supply because their shoes
are more sturdily constructed, last
longer, and their stamps have been
passed on to others.
Dwindling supplies Of misses and
children's shoes have brought an
amendment to regulations Of their
production. The familiar $2.95 shoe
won't disappear In these lines, but
there will be fewer of them. TnS
requirement that manufacturers
must produce their regular perceRt-
age Of low-price shoes has been re-
moved. They can now concentrate
on any previous price line, but are
not allowed to launch a new higher
one. There will be some manufac-
turers who never made a shoe
wholesaling above $1.75, the shoe
that retails at around $2.95. Those
manufacturers therefore will con-
tinue to produce low-cost shoes.
The War Production Board says
this relaxation Of requirements on
low-cost production was necessary
to stir UP production Of women's
and children's shoes. Manufacturers
were turning to production Of wom-
ems shoes. which bring higher prices
for their limited leather supplies.
Women's shoes are in comparatively
good supply for this reason.
Prices on rubber drug sundries
will go up in cases where manufac-
turers can't produce under present
ceilings The Of1ce OF Price Ad-
ministration says that the free pork
stamps have satisfactorily cleaned
up pork supplies. There may even
