FSA families, each year, have won
special recognition for increased
war food production, both for home
use and for market.
All FSA activities have been plac-
ed on a more practical basis by
delegation of more responsibility
to local STA supervisors and
through more effective use of coun-
ty FSA committees.
FSA employees in region purch-
ased $809,313 in war bonds, in adj
dition to purchases made through
payroll deductions not counted in
special war bond drives.
More than 500 FSA employees
given furloughs to enter military
duty.
Of even greater satisfaction than
any of the above is the fact that
the borrowers, on the average,
have greatly increased their secur-
ity on the land, their incomes and
net worth, have improved their
living standards, assumed more
fully their obligations and are par
ticipating more freely in commun-
ity activities. In short, they have
become better citizens.

Prezidentas Nepasal1e

Cleveland Plain Dealer siaip
komentuoja apie Prez. Truma-
no kalba Navy Dienoje, kur jis
isdeste Amerikos uzsienio po-
litika ir siekimus ateities tai
kai ir tvarkai pasaulyje.
'Prezidento Truman'o Navy

suirimo uzsieniu ministry tary-
bos Londone. Sails gal tikejo-
81 kad vyriausias galva buda-
vos toliau ant Byrnes pagrin-
du. Bet jis to nepadare."
Viename punkte prezidentas
atvirai pasako:
"Mes atsisakysim pripazinti
bent valdzia primesta svetimos
valstybes prievarta. Nekuriais
atvejais gal nebus galima is

valdzios. Bet Amerika nepripa-
zins nei vienos tokios valdzios."
Lietuvos klausir1u, tokiu bu-
du, padetis pasilieka ia patti ne
tik is Americas atzvilgio, bet ir
is bolseviku: Anerika negali is
vengti Rusijos prinestos val
dzios Lietuvai, ir bolsevikai pa
silieka musu sail naikinti.
Todel nnusu bruzdejimas, pa
stangos versti Arnerikos vyriau-

Prezidento pasiteisinimas ne

klausyti ir pildyti tarptautines
taisykles, Amerika turi skaity-
tt kara dar nebaigtu - turi
priversti ir Russia sugryzti j

Mes visai nepatenkinti prezi-
dento tokiais pavirsutinumais,
kuriuos Plain Dealer redakcija
pastebejo. Taip dalykams pa
