A FITTING CLIMAX

When the war suddenly ended,
people contemplated with awe the
terrific flood of men, armament
and supplies moving across the land
into the nav of the endless, blue
Pacific How could the flood be
stopped without a chaos of conges-
ton? The War Department has re-
leased report describing what hap
pened.
The first step in the Army's or
derby turn-around of Paciflc-bound
combat supplies was taken August
10, when the Association of Ameri-
can Railroads was requested to is
sue a stop and hold order, and to
embargo further shipment Of all
Army ammunition enroute to Unit
ed States or Canadian ports
On August IA. the War Depart
ment requested the Association of
j American Railroads to extend the
existing embargo to include all
Army supplies enroute to Pacific
or Gulf Coast Ports Of Embarka-
ton. except food and solid fuels.
/ As the cars were halted. railroads
Immediately flashed details to the
AAR which in turn informed the
Transportation Corps Traffic Con-
troll Division in Washington. Work
ing according to a prearranged plan,
control officers representing Army
i technical services and the AAF'
/ furnished new shipping instructions,
and in a matter Of hours the cars
were on their way to holding and
reconsignment points, depots or
their original destinations.
/ More than $500 railroad cars,
carrying Army freight which was
destined for use against japan, had
been diverted up to August 20. An
other $500 cars, carrying for the
most part clothing, medical sup
plies, fuel recreational equipment,
cleaning and preserving gear, and
supplies for AAF overseas weather
and communications stations, were
halted, examined and continued on
their way during the same period.
With typical efficiency, the rail
roads are bringing their wartime
transportation job to climax. The
country will long remember their
valued services during the four
tragic years.

STILL SOUR

There Is one thing the American
people might as we'll face and that
is that while responsible officials
in our government give lip service
to the idea that free enterprise
should be encouraged in the Unit
ed States in order to perpetuate
liberty and independence. they seek
to establish political programs which
by their very nature Will hamstring
the successful functioning Of pri-
vate enterprise.
Both England and France had to
be saved from Hitler's national so
cialism, and yet both of them were
deliberately turning to his political
philosophy under which the people
become wards Of the state that
is, they become dependent on the
state for their jobs, their housing,
and their medical treatment.
We cannot object to England and
France adopting socialism if that is
their desire, but when they ask us
to help finance it, and when leaders
in our own government try to lead
the American people along similar
lines by devious routes and ruses
American citizens have right tc
object while they still have thai
privilege. 1t will be pretty sick
world, instead of shining new one
| when the international politicians
get control Of the means of produc
| ton and jobs.
Let's keep America American I'm
til we see how one Of the new
socialistic relationships turns out
Just because they are not Of Ger
man origin won't make them an,
