Where DO WE Stand?
By LESLIE GOULD

l.
tC as an enigma. That m aster
turner of phrases-Winston Church
i'll has called Stains foreign policy
riddle in a mystery inside an
enigma"
Webster's dictionary defines an
enigma as anything inexplicable;
puzzle; riddle" And adds: San
enigma hides its meaning under OBJ
scure or ambiguous illusions; riddle
commonly involves paradoxical or
contradictory statements, and is
definitely proposed to be guessed"
There is no riddle as to Russia's
position in this war and the period
that will follow. STAIN is IN THE
WAR BECAUSE HIS EARLIER
PARTNER HITLER TURNED
ON HIM AFTER SPLITTING
WITH HIM HALF THE LOOT OF.
POLAND.
The Russians instead of collapsing
in three to six months, as had been
freely predicted, put up magnificent
defense of their country, and thanks
to GENEROUS HELP FROM THE
UNITED STATES at the expense of
our own weak defenses, the Soviet
turned the tables on the Nazis.
And today finds their country all
but clear of Nazis.
CTALIN, himself, told President
- Roosevelt this and other successes
of the United Nations were made
possible ONLY BY THE MIRACLE
OF PRODUCTION BY AMERICAN
INDUSTRY. Industry that is PRI-
VATELY OWN ED AND PR
VATELY OPERATED.
And When the War is Uon, Stain
wants the little Baltic states, a slice
of Finland, that part of Poland Hitler
presented to him and governments
in the neighboring Balkans under his
control. Also determining Uoice in
Asiafic affairs.
Stain has said all this by word
and by action. There is no riddle
there. 1t is just hard boiled, realis-
tic RUSSIA FIRST policy.
british foreign policy is equally
ID clear. Mr.. Churchill is on record
as saying he did not take on the
prime ministership to liquidate His
Majesty's empire"
The London Economist, speaking
for an important segment of British
business, says it is time for plain
talk. BRITAIN WILL NOT GIVE
UP ANY OF HER ASSETS TO
PAY BACK LEASE-LEND.
Thus there is no riddle as to
where the British stand. They are
for BRITAIN FIRST.
There is no riddle as to Russia.
She is for RUSSIA FIRST.
But does any one knoW Where the
United States stands? What is our
foreign policy? Have we policy?

GOV. EARL WARREN of Cali
VI forrlia talked IN terms of PLAIN
TRUTH at his states Republican
assembly the other day when he said
that free and unintimidated vote
by the American people in November
would REJECT THE NEW DEAL.
"The New Deal is relying for re-
election upon the great CORRUPT
+ POLITICAL MACHINES of Hague,
Kelly, Tann1any and the like" said
Gov. Warren.
eff il were not for that crutch,
the New Deal rUouId fall like house
of cards"
Gov. Warren. however, is con
WINGED that the habitual reliance of
the New Deal upon corruption and
intimidation is not going to WORK
this year.
"The people haze now come to
realize that the NerO Deal philosophy
of government is not sound" he be-
lieves.
"They are tired of it all and they
are going to CHANGE it,"
LIE is right that the New Deal is
II going to TRY the old method,
principally because it has always
won by that method and because it
knows no OTHER method.
1t will try to BUY this election,
as it has always bought its elections
in the past.
And it remains to be seen if the
totalitarian system of government
we have installed by this process of
purchase has become so powerful our
American elections can STILL be
bought.
A recent national survey offered
the interesting conclusion that a
normal free" vote in November
would put every state outside of the
deep South into the Republican
column, with a minimum of 396 cleo
toral votes.
According to this survey, the only
reason the same result was not oh

nounced aims and policies of one or

the war.
CO-WHAT are our policies:

Food-Hondlina Ordinance Needed

DR.. w. H. Weeks, director of the Holmes County
Health Department, has suggested to the Incorporated
towns of Holmes county that each town enact an ordnance
requiring all foQd-handlers to have 9 health certtncate.
Certainly nj food-handlers should have q heath cerrul-
cate guaranteeing they are free from cornlnunicabfe diseases
to protect the public health. Regardless and In spite Of the
present labor shortage there is no excuse Tor iaxity in 1000
handling. In order for every person in the community 70
do his Job and contribute in fullest measure to the WA
effort the fullest health protection possible must be gwen.
To require cafes and other eating establishments TO
have their employees hold health certificates is not un-
reasonable and the suggestion by the Health Department
is worth serious consideration by every town in Holmes
county.
Durant does not have such an ordinance and certainly
the people of this community should have the security of
knowing the food they are served is handled with every
safeguard possible.

County Formers Honored

Holmes county farmers last week received the highest
award made by the U. S. government to soldiers OF the sol.
Singled out as one of five counties in the state OF MlssIs-
sippi to receive the coveted "A" Award for agricultural
production, the achievements of shis county in that field
speak for themselves.
Holmes county was one of about rs counties in the
United States to get the "A" Award, equivalent to the "E'
Award made to industry for unusual performance. Since
there were about 5000 counties participating in the gov
ernment's program it can readily be seen that our people
have done themselves proud.
Everyone knows that an army moves on its stomach
and that without food we cannot win the war. Our farmers
have produced that food in abundance ant against quite a
few odds.
Machinery and labor shortage will plague our farmers
in 1914 even more than in 1943. Manpower will be shorter
and machinery available is still an unknown quantity as are
other items needed for food production. But on the basis
of past achievements we know that Uncle Sam can count
on Holmes county farmers to do their very best in food
production and what he needs to feed our soldiers and our
Allies will be forthcoming.
Our farm and extension leaders deserve a bit of credit
for the great job done but the greatest credit of all is due
that man who stayed on his job on the farm and worked
from sunrise to sunset to get his job done.
The farmer now, as always, is the backbone of this
great nation. His contribution to the national welfare is
greater than any other class.
We can thank our lucky stars he is AMERICAN. He
has not struck for a 40-hour week
