Germany and the Atlantic Charter
A DECLARATION BY BRITISH, FRENCH, BELGIAN, ITALIAN, DUTCH,

Now that the defeat of Hitler
and his accomplices is no longer
merely certain but perhaps i'm
minent, it is a matter of urgent
necessity that Socialist opinion
should make itself heard about the
great problems that will face us
when the war comes to an end,
for on their solution may depend
the fate of many generations.
The undersigned are of different
natlonalities, but they are united
by the same Socialist faith, the
same desire for liberty, democracy
and peace, and the same convic-
ton that their ideal can be real
lied only by the union of all the
workers of the world, and that
nothing but this union can prevent
return to economic disorder, to
spiritual decadence, and to war.
They have formulated in the pre-
sent declaration their opinion on
the German problem which GER
tain recent political incidents have
posed in particularly concrete
terms. They intend on later oc-
casions to give expression to their
views on other essential problems.
While it is imperative that the
struggle should end with a deci-
sive military victory, our con-
slant pre-occupation must be to
ensure a just and lasting peace.
In the meantime, no step should
be omitted that may lessen Allied
casualties and shorten the suffer-
ings of the enslaved populations.
Whether the Germans insist on
fighting to the last cartridge will
depend on their conception of the
future we propose for them as a
defeated nation.
Our negative. purposes have
been defined with the utmost clar-
ity. Every German understands
that it is resolve to destroy the
military power of the Third
Reich, to impose permanent dis
armament on the aggressors, to
punish the war criminals and
bring the Nazi and Fascist tyran-
MES to an end Until the other
day we had supposed that the
positive purposes of the United
Nations were embodied in the
Atlantic Charter. But if, as we
r now told, its principles do not
bind the Allies in their dealings
with the enemy peoples, we are
left with no accepted statement of
policy.
No one contends that the Char
ter was addressed primarily to the
enemy It was addressed to all
mankind. 1t defined, as the pre-
amble put it, certain common
principles" on which the President
of the United States and the Prime
Minister of the United Kingdom
"base their hopes for a better fu-
ture for the world"
If these principles were violat-
ed in respect of any people what
soever, these noble hopes would

NOT so BAD!

Many of our local tavernkeepers
have adopted an agreeable system

Paralysis Fund is
Nearing the Goal Set

1t begins to look like the little
doll in the Courier window will
fling away her cruthes this week,
the local infantile paralysis cam
paign being near the $3.50 quota
goal set. The little doll is adj
vanced step for each $50 in con-
tributions received by Miss Irma
Pratt, local committee chairman.
The doll has now been placed on
the sixth step, indicating more
than $500 has already been count
ed from here. The several con-
tanners about town are also begin
ming to get: heavy enough to be
counted again. sF IS
Last week novel display was
put in the local theater lobby
Forty-eight milk bottles were
placed there, each labeled with

was to see which state collected

Washington had the most, but
some misguided individual took it
together with the forty or more
dollars it contained.

Safeway Store Buys
$1,000 in War Bonds

A check in the amount of $1,000
was presented today to the local
war bond committee by Ben
Scherger, Safeway manager, as
his stores purchase of bonds in
the 4th War Loan Drive. Mr..
Scherger said this check does not
include the extra war bonds being
purchased by the employees of the
store, but is the company's par
ticipation in the local War Bond
quota.
Mr.. Scherger said that he had
planned to present his company's
check at the beginning of the
campaign, but the war bond Of
ficials had asked that the first
part of the campaign be devoted
to purchases by individuals. He
has been informed that after Feb.
l business firms are permitted to
subscribe to the 4th War Loan
Drive.
'This campaign is dedicated to
the men and women of the armed
services" said Mr.. Scherger,
many of whom were employees of
Safeway. It is a privilege for us
to purchase war bonds in honor
of our former employees and other
men and women in the armed
forces. We think that the slogan:
Lets All Back the Attack, should
be taken seriously and that we
should all buy extra war bonds"

To Exhibit Handicraft,
Souvenirs and Pugilist

At Christmastime, the Kenne-
wick-Pasco labor council present
ed the McCaw General Hospital
at Walla Walla with a handsome
cash gift to be used in the Craft
& Hobby program. To indicate
their appreciation, the hospital is
making a special exhibit of their
handicraft at Pasco next Sunday
evening.
Included with the exhibit will
be a priceless collection Of jap
souveniers, gathered from actual
battlefields by some of the boys
who are at the hospital. And as
the real attraction will be the
personal appearance of Sgt. Sczy-
manski, claimed by many as the
future worlds heavy weight box
ing champion, Joe Louis con-
queror. The sergeant will stage
three two-minute rounds with a
clever pugilist from the Hanford
district.
The exhibition will be from 6
to Sunday evening at the Pasco
high school gym and admission
will be free. Kennewick people
are cordially invited to attend.

New Series Of Ads by
Wash. Temperance Assn

In this issue we present the first
of new series of advertisements
sponsored by Washington Temper
ance Association in which they
present their views in the age
old matter of temperance or the
LIQUOR situation.
In releasing this series of adver-
tisements which are appearing
statewide in newspapers in cam
paign which started modestly sew
eral months ago, w. j. Herwig,
executive secretary of the associa-
ton said, ''Having spent more than
81 years in temperance work I
have found that the best way to
influence people in our cause is
to give them the plain truth, which
all agree in the present instance is
appalling. We believe that in this
time of national stress 1t is worse
than folly to continue to waste
manpower, foodstuffs and moral
character by increasing use of
LIQUOR and our advertising will be
directed at the task of simplifying
these facts"

New Devices
In Store for
ufure Users
New washers, no dust
or dirt, new lighting
and heating planned

Precipitrons that will prevent
the tiniest particle of dust, SCOT,
smoke or dirt from entering the
households they guard, and home
laundry equipment that does the
family wash with the push of a
button are but samples of new
electrical conveniences that await
users in the postwar world, ac-
cording to D. B. Leonard, Pacific
Power & Light Co. commercial
manager, and chairman of that
company's postwar planning COM
mittee, who has. returned from
Pittsburgh.
Though manufacturing Facilities
are devoted to war goods, and
peace-time products are still in the
blueprint stage, postwar devel-
opment plans are now so complete
that a five-fold national increase
IN the average home use of cleo
tricity has been predicted, he said.
Leonard was one of more than
200 Representatives of the nations
major electric utility companies
invited to attend a postwar pow
er use forum conducted by the
Westinghouse Manufacturing Co.
in the Pennsylvania city.
New developments in lighting
will deliver almost double the foot
candles of illumination that pre-
war uses of electricity provided.
Applications of electronics and
dialecitc heat hold more miracles
for industrial production.
A lesser application of cleo
tronics will enable you to open
your garage door with push-button
control from your approaching
car.
A sterilamp will kill harmful
bacteria in siclkrooms, safeguard
baby's bottle and increase the days
that food may be held in the
household refrigerator. A versa
tile ozone lamp will be equally
adapted to handling factory fumes
or Kidding the kitchen of cooking
odors. Floor lamps in your living
room will utilize improved fluores-
cent lighting.
Most postwar homes will have
complete automatic laundry equip
ment and an economical electric
clothes dryer will dispel the incon-
venience of rainy wash days.
Quantities of new household
electrical equipment will become
available five or six months after
the close of the war, Leonard pre-
dicted. Manufacturers will first
produce 1912 and what would have
been 1943 models as they recon-
vert their factories to peace-time
pursuits and turn to postwar
blueprints.
