"War Bonds Keep
Farm Debts Safe"

Encourage farmers to maintain
a proper balance between making
payments on mortgages and in
vesting in War Bonds" says the
American Bankers Association in
a bulletin addressed to the rural
bankers of America.
Banks are advised to "encour-
age farmers to maintain a proper
balance between making payments
on mortgages and investing in
War Bonds. If a person pays a
mortgage all up now, and then has
to get one after the war he may
not be able to get terms as favor
able as those he now now has"
The bankers also call attention
to the fact that "wear and tear
on farm machinery and buildings
must De PAID Tor eventually,
whether or not the mortgage is all
paid off. A farmer will probably
be in a safer position to end up
the war with a moderate sized
mortgage at low interest rate
and q good nest egg in War Bonds
than no mortgage, no bonds, and
badly rundown buildings and
equipment.
This is a part of the program
of the American Bankers Associa-
ton aimed at getting farmers to
build up large enough War Bond
reserves to give them financial
protection in the postwar period.

Nazi Army The
Objective

WRIGHT BRYAN, Atlanta Jour
nal correspondent, who went
to France and Paris, was captured
by the Germans and recaptured
and released by the Russians, has
travelled over a considerable part
of wartorn Europe.
In captivity, he heard of the
counter-offensive by Won Runstedt
in December, saw firsthand the
speed and power Of the Russian
advance in the East and has since
checked up on the power drive
across the Rhine by the Anglo
Americans.
Mr.. Bryan points out that the
objective, as it always has been,
is not primarily the taking of
territory, but the destruction of
the German military machine" He
says that nothing he has seen Gin
dicates that it will be anything
but a tough grind to the end"

WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Expose the Lies :.
Legislation

At no time in recent history
have the American people been
so conscious of racial and reli-
gious prejudice as they are to-
day. Under the impact of war
and its democratic aims, more has
been done to combat discrimina-
ton in the past few years than
in decades before. Over zoo
inter-racial committees, created
by public or private agencies, are
tackling local issues. But the
outcome of our civil war against
intolerance must eventually rest
with you, as a voting citizen, and
with your community.
You can help bulwark your de-
mocracy against the enemy with

you can do about it:

so far as he or any other non

The Negro in Mexico is looked
upon as a fugitive from oppres-

the former they generally make

opinion of such conduct may be
summed up in the reply of a

Prejudice Endangers Your
Own Welfare

You have a personal stake in
working democracy. Prejudice,
through the evils it creates, un.
dermines public health, public
safety, religion, the home, bust
ness.
There is no magic formula to
end intolerance in America. We
can start with education, better
jobs, better housing, more social
freedom, more political freedom.
Progress in one field advances
others. But our basic, impor-
tantt mission is to guide the po-
tential goodwill of Americans
into channels of working and liy-
ing together as nation united.

emotional equipment and depend
ence.' If the Catholic Church
lin politics 'scares some people,
you can point out that Cath
olics in America are of virtually
every political persuasion.
There Is No Composite Character
The Jews are neither a race
nor nation; they are so mixed
that generalizing about them is
impossible. There is a higher
percentage of Jews in the armed
services than in the genral popu-
lation. Election statistics prove
the Jew is not a Communist. Nor
does a study of bank directories
indicate that he is an ''interna-
tional banker" The composite
Negro or Catholic or Jew does
not exist.
2. Support legislation, both
local and national, outlawing the
evils of intolerance. Legislative
firmness not only can curb preju-
dice; 1t can help break down that
prejudice by making people learn
that the thing they have feared is
no NOR than an inflated DOGGY.
New York State has just en-
acted a law designed to prevent
discrimination in employment.
There is need for a permanent
federal Fair Employment Prac-
tees Committee. a fedral anti
lynching law, rpeal of poll-tax
statutes, a ban on discrimination
in our armed forces, schools,
trade unions, housing projects,
medical care.
Give the Minorities a Chance
g. Help open up equal EN-
ployment opportunit, in private
Industry and government. This
can be a real contribution to
economic security of minorities
and 10 better harmony.
During this war, our second
class citizens have demonstrated
their ability to handle any and all
jobs, skilled or unskilled, if they
are only given the chance of
training and experience. If you're
an employer, give them the same
kind of chance in peacetime, too.
4. Participate, wherever posi-
BILE. in educational campaigns to
combat prejudice. Through our
schools and churches, young and
old must be made to see prejudice
not as white versus black, or
Protestant versus Jew and Cath
Ollie. but as democracy versus
fascism.
Schools should become a social
pilot plant for the understanding
of races. culture, heredity. In
