THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
has a date with destiny. President
Roosevelt was returned to office
for his fourth term by an over
whelming majority, the party
picked up IL seats in the House
of Representatives and main
tanned its majority in the Senate.
II will be then. the Democrats
who will face the responsibility
OF the next four years four
years that will undoubtedly see
the collapse of both Germany and
Japan. II will be the Democrats
that win face the problem of max
ing a realistic world peace for,
without it, we can have no peace
at home. The problems and the
responsibilities will be equally
great both at home and abroad.
Eleven million men and women
will return from war, seeking
jobs and a sense of security in a
nation they fought for. They will
want to know, too, that their chill
dren will not have TO take up the
same bloody job at some later
date. Europe will be devastated,
it's peoples torn asunder and
hungry in both body and soul.
Our responsibility will be to help
them find order and peace. for
without il the spark will flame
again into 4 conflagration that
will set the world afire, The is
land peoples of the Pacific and
China. offer the same problem.
II is a problem great and grave
that u party faces and by their
actions future generations will
bless or condemn them.
THE TEMPER OF THE people
was clearly shown in Tuesdays
election when Ham Fish and Ger
aid Nye went down to defeat.
They are members that the House
and Senate are well rid of, and
future generations of Americans
will fare better because of their
absence.
A PERTINENT coMMENTA.
HY on many individuals unaware
Tess of their responsibilities in
our Democracy is the fact that
only 372 more persons voted in
Jackson county in 1914 than did
in 1910. 2.672 to 1900. This despite
the fact that in the four years
our population is fully four TO
five times greater. How can we
expect to have good government
unless every individual takes an
interest in that government. And
certainly, failure to vote is the
most complete lack of interest
possible.

A~pprecidtive Letter
Is Received From
John Mel Donald. Jr.

1t is always %heartening to the
editor of a newspaper when a
letter of appreciation reaches his
desk. This is particularly so
when it comes from a man in
the service, especially when he
tells that the paper brings him
in touch with the hometown.
The readers Of the Chronicle
Star can be a big help in this by
phoning in, or otherwise getting
news of the boys to the paper.
The men write that this is the
way that they are keeping up
with their friends.
In such a letter, Mr. Mcdonald
writes:
| would like to express my APP
probation for the paper you
send me each week.
ut really means much to me
to read the news of my home
town, out here in the Pacific.
My home is out at Orange
Grove and | attended school at

Military Unity Urged
On French Assembly

ALGIERS, Jan. 19.-The French
Consultative Assembly began a re-
view Of the military policy of the
French Committee of National Lib
Grafton yesterday and heard repeated
demands for a clearer unification of
French armed forces under a single
leader.
There is still too much talk of the
Giraud army and the De Gaulle
army" declared Francois Blloux,
Communist member.
He said single command over all
army, navy and air forces should be
established under the direction of
single commissariat of national
defense.
"The union within the army will
thus succeed the union within the
nation" he said, "and all France
would fight to receive us with pride"
The discussion continued today,
with Defense Commissioner Andre
Letrocquer and Naval Commissioner
Louis Jacquinot scheduled to reply.
Gen. Charles de Gaulle also may
answer for the committee.
The assembly applauded messages
from President Roosevelt and Gen.
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek. The
President, replying to message
from the assembly, expressed conf
dence that 1914 would bring victory
to the Allies in Europe and liberia
ton of occupied nations.
