Emphasizing the debt that every
American on the home front owes
the men on the far-flung battle
fronts, Mrs. Roosevelt told a Nation
wide radio audience last night that

Way to Convince Soldiers.
THE financial needs of the war
are still mounting" he pointed out.
1.-THE Army tells me that one of the
best ways we have Of convincing
the soldiers overseas we are backing
the attack is by increasing our pur-
chase of War Bonds"
Discussing her recent 14,0O0-mile
tour OF the Caribbean area, Mrs.
Roosevelt said she was impressed by
the loneliness, monotony and bore
dom which is "the order of the day"
in those remote posts.
In spite of the hardships, Ameri-
can men have retained their sense
Of humor, she added. On one rec
reation center hangs a sign 1.-THE
Home Of Number of Forgotten Men
and 10000 Vermin"-on another,
Blue Jackets Club-Women In
vited."
The many young pepole now liv-
ing IN foreign countries, she contin-
ued, will come home with ideas of
the good neighbor policy, adding,
they will realize the development of
this country will depend on the de-
velopment Of these new countries.

Marine 1t. John A. De Chant, who

granville, told the gathering that in
less than 48 hours after landing
there 1000 marines had been killed

Men overseas "are enduring hard

at home are marching along that
road with them. Your part is buy
ing War Bonds"

A-No. The attempt to mod
ernie Wayne County govern
ment has been going on for a
number OF years and II Is not
directed at the present incum-
bents. They are operating under
an Anticipated and cumbersome
governmental system and the
faults are those OF the system
rather than Of individuals.
Q.-Why is constitutional
amendment necessary?
A-The state constitution
provides for the system Of
county government. for the
county offices and for the
courts. No substantive change
can be made except by chang
ing the constitution.
Q-What changes are pro-
posed?
Ave discuss here the out
line of the proposed new system
Of Wayne County government.
Wayne County may be orga-
niZed under charter, drafted
nv charter commission and
adopted by vote of the electors.
Such charter shall provide for:
IA chief executive. Wayne
County has at present no execu-
tive officer.
Am elected legislative body
Of not more than 81 members;
not more than two-thirds shall
he from Detroit and may he
elected by districts or at large
and the remainder are TO he
elected from the rest Of the
county from single districts
based on population. This Is In
contrast to the present system
in which Of 81 supervisors only
IL are elected.

nation and our soldiers believe that
We are obstructing the Uar effort.
Our loyal membership must see to it
that {. F. the acts of isolated handfuls
are not permitted to continue to the
deriment of all OF us"
THOSE are plain words. They are
Il words spoken out of the knowl-
edge of chief whose answering
loyalty to the union cause is beyond
question.
Union men should not make the
mistake of thinking they are words
of compromise. They are not.
Mr.. Thomas still believes reso-
lutely in the right to strike in normal
times. He said so in another public
statement yesterday. He is insisting
merely that the UAW abide by it's
solemn pledge to refrain from WAR
TIME strikes.
\ LII good union men should bear
"A that in mind They should give
serious thought to the ultimatum of
their president.
They should give particularly
grave consideration to it's concluding
paragraphs which read, in part, as
follows
This War must be won. If man.
