Lausche Urges Support OF
Anti-InflatiOn Campaign

Governor Frank j. Lausche of Ohio
has just issued proclamation urging
public support of the Grocer-C Consumer
Anti-Inflation Campaign in this state
during the month of September. The
proclamation follows:
WHEREAS, the United States
Government in cooperation with the
grocers of the nation is sponsoring a
campaign to combat initiation during
the critical re-conversion period fol-

,artment considered the post well pro-

partment considered the post we'll pro-
tected.
But to get back to our knitting: At
Pearl Harbor were an army general
and a navy admiral, whose job, to say
the least, was to defend that outpost.
Their duty at that time was not to at
tack anybody but to defend that island.
And when the Japs came over with
their bombs on the morning of Decem-
Der z, 1941, what did they do to de-
fend the post? They permitted US to be
caught with out pants down, 5000 Am
ericans were slaughtered and millions
of dollars worth of war machines were
destroyed.
We can believe that no one told our
commanders that the Japs would at
tack. We can not, however, believe
that they were told not to fight back
if attacked. And we can't believe that
our people here should assume any re-
sponsibility for the tremendous loss
of property and lives.
We can't believe that our people
were in any way responsible when
leaders in Congress and our daily
newspapers insisted we did not need
additional forces to protect our inter-

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER IA, 1945
PEARL HARBOR-WHo DONE IT.?

PEARL HARBOR-WHO DONE IT?
After reading the report of the
Pearl Harbor investigation President
Truman reported to the nation that
blame for that catastrophe could not
be placed on any group or individual
but that all the people were respon-
sible for our unpreparedness on that
historic occasion.
Various interpretations have been
placed by various publications on the
report of the committee. In deed, the
committee itself, from our reading,
leaves almost any inference possible,
depending upon the prejudices of the
reader. In absolving Short and Kim
mel of blame an apparent attempt has
been made to blame everyone. Facts,
however, remain indisputable. And one
salient fact is that the Japs flew in
and just naturally knocked hell out of
us.
Other facts also persist in emerging.
The report says high officials in
Washington, notably the Secretaries
Of Navy, War and State-and the
President-had knowledge of or sus-
pected what Japan would do-and
when.
Add to this the further fact that
the then Secretary of the Navy Knox
printed in Liberty magazine an article
"a convincing article-that Pearl
Harbor was impregnable. This article
appeared on the streets a couple of
weeks after the bombing which prac-
tically destroyed Pearl Harbor, but
it had been printed several weeks
ahead. 1t is, however, evident that
the highest official of the Navy De-

The executive committee of the
American Association for the United
Nations, New York City, has express
ed view of President Truman's can
collation. of lease-lend obligations of
our Allies which is worth studying.
Not all will agree with it, but it is
probable the American people will en-
dorse it, on the whole.
The committees view is expressed
in the statement that the United
States, by cancellation of the obliga-
ton, twill indicate to the world that
it is not trying to put in dollar terms
our material contributions as against
the tragic sacrifices of our Allies.
The statement said the Presidents
action is another indication of the
breadth of vision with which Washing
ton is approaching the organization of
the United Nations"
In It's statement, the committee
said in part:
"The decision of President Truman
to effect a cancellation of most of the
lend-lease obligations to this country
is continuation of the high and bril-
liant craftsmanship on the part of
Franklin D. Roosevelt who conceived
lend-lease, and that of the Congress
which passed the Lend-Lease Act
President Roosevelt in his original
recommendation for the Lend-Lease
Act and President Truman in his re-
port to Congress just published, both
indicated the necessity of avoiding
translating the material which we con-
tributed to the common cause into
terms of dollar commercial indebted.

attitude toward the war debts of the
