Oil Permits War

THE IMPORTANCE OF pc
troleum in warfare is illus,
trated by the declaration of Chair.
man Vinson, of the House Naval
Affairs Committee, that the Navy
will have to change its Pacific wal
strategy unless it can get oil from
the West Coast.
The operation of thousands OF
aircraft and hundreds of ships
depends upon an assured supply
of oil and its products. Any
future campaign against Japan
must be planned on the basis of
available oil supplies.
The immediate objective of Mr..
Vinson was to secure congress
sional approval of bill to permit
operation of the Elk Hills field,
where reserve supplies are avail
able. Apparently, the emergency
exists and "time is the essence of
the whole matter" Without the
oil, military leaders assert that
the war program in the Pacific
Will have to be changed.

Stopping A Racket

AN EXTENSIVE War fraud
- racket has been unearthed in
shipyard near Boston with the
arrest of nearly one hundred
workers on charges of conspiracy
to defraud the Government.
A number of welders, paid fol-
piece-work, were credited by
counters for more work than they
performed and some received as
much as SIS a week extra. The
counters, for their dishonesty, re-
ceived a share of the illegal pay
ments from the welders.
It is not surprising that some
workers attempt to defraud the
Government and it would be a
mistake to assume that similar
frauds are the usual procedure
It is interesting, however, to know
that the FBI is not too busy to
investigate what goes on in the
war plants. Maybe the knowledge
may restrain grafters in other
areas.

have nothing whatever to say
about trusts, monopolies, cartels,
tariffs, subsidies and other favors
that the Government has given to
business at the instance of bust
ness itself.
The freedom of the individual
and of enterprise can be stifled by
the activity of Government or the
practices of big business. It is
immaterial, so far as the average
citizen is concerned, whether OPP
portunities are denied by one or
the other. Federal control is no
more damaging than agreements to
fix prices, allocate territory and
stifie competition.

Invasion Cuts
Civilian Supplies
Procured by

Recent shortage of many civil
liam supplies may be attributed
to military demands of the forces
of liberation. Examples are radio
tubes and parts, gasoline and oil.
In spite of radio manufacturing
output over 10 times as great as
prewar, military demands for ra-
dio tubes and repair parts have
increased. This explains why civil
lians are finding it hard to get
these items, the War Production
Board says. Every military plane
has radio equipment, some as
much as 100000 worth each.
Ships, tanks and other mobile
equipment also use radio equip
ment. A five-month supply of 100
octane aviation gasoline is requir-
ed for each of the 1000 planes
backing up Allied liberation forces.

War reports. Heavy and impera

Eisenhower as early as last win

ton and Philadelphia the first in
direct invasion casualties. Increas-
ed production by East Coast refin-
cries, the "Big Inch" and Little
Big Inch" pipelines, and emer-
gency deliveries helped avert civil
liam shortages of oil and gas in
the East.

Unity In. The Republic
XXIHILE THOUSANDS Of per

WHILE THOUSANDS of per-
w sons, including the Cover
nors of thirty-four states looked
on, Governor Broughton, of North
Carolina, representing the South,
and Governor Saltonstall of
Massachusetts, representing the
North, shook hands on the battle
field of Gettysburg to symbolic
the unity of forty-eight American
States.
The tableaux was appropriate,
despite minor irritations which
sometimes attract unwarranted
public attention. Loyalty and
unity pervade the Republic with
little trace of the bitter hatred
that prevailed less than eighty
years ago.
Because the Union successfully
withstood the threat of secession
and stands stronger than ever
among the nations of the earth
today does not mean, however,
that it is immune to the processes
that sometime result in the disso-
luton Of nations.
It is not disloyalty to suggest,
even in the midst Of the present
war, that the future greatness of
the country depends upon the wis
dom and restraint Of g strong fed
eral government which must be
willing to recognize and respect
the inalienable rights of the peo-
pie of the separate states.
To this end, it will be necessary
for the people of the United
States, in the course Of the COM
ing years, to delineate and define
the area in which Federal author
ity shall be supreme. That this is
necessary in order to meet the
problem of the present age is
certain.
Just as apparent is the necessity
for definite restrictions upon the
power exercised by the central
government. There must be gen.
erous recognition of the rights of
the people to local self-government
through the instrumentality of
state and municipal governments.

Liberation OF
Europe Begins

The historic news flash, First
Allied landings in Western Europe
have started" sent over the tele-
types of the Overseas Branch of
the Office of War Information, at
S.43 am. Tues, June 6, was part
of the second, or actual combat
phase of psychological warfare
being waged directly under Sup
RENE Headquarters Allied Expedi-
tionary Forces. The first phase of
psychological warfare was the
strategic or preparatory phase
the softening-up-during which the
Americans and the British bonn
barded the enemy and occupied
countries with leaflets designed to
undermine enemy morale and boil
ster the morale of the enslaved
peoples. Germany, France, Bel
GUM, Holland and Norway have
been receiving miniature newspa-
pers with a combined circulation of
almost 16 million. Part of the
present combat phase will be car
ried on by Psychological Warfare
Branch combat teams who will be
equipped with portable printing
presses and radio equipment to
keep the local population in IL
berated areas informed as to the
progress of the war and to give
in the local language the regul-
tons of the military command.

Hold Your War Bonds

TVHE NATIONWIDE campaign
= to secure subscriptions to the
Fifth War Loan emphasizes the
importance of retaining the bonds,
when purchased, unless an imper-
alive demand for cash compels
redemption.
In May there were $3.50, 000, 900
worth of bonds cashed by holders
of Series E, or about 3S per cent
of the $713,9O7,992 sold.
The record of Series E bonds,
however, reveals $4,000, 900 900
sold and only $2,8O0,OO0,000 or
about nine per cent, cashed in.
Every time a holder of a war bond
cashes it he cancels the sale of a
bond of equal amount.
OF course, every sensible per-
son knows that there will arise
occasions when the individual, re-
gardless of patriotic impulses, is
faced with the necessity of getting
some cash from bonds. This is
caused, very often, by over-en-
thusiasm in buying and by emer-
gencies that arise after the invest
ment has been made.
The necessary cashing of a bond
implies no reflection upon the
holder but, just the same, it is
very important for us to realize
the Importance of making every
effort to keep our bonds as a per-
manent investment. By so doing,
even at personal inconvenience,
