DECKER EDITORIAL SE — a a a SE —-— I nS The indiscriminate bombing of London does not Worry some Americans. During the winter one might naturally expect another Hitler peace offensive The volunteer army service system might have worked if the nation had wanted nothing but col- onels. There are worse things that can happen to & young man than to serve g year in the Army The question of the war at this time is, "Can the English take it?” Later on, we hope, it will be, *Can the Germans take it?” Chase 8S. Osborn, former Republican Governor of Michigan and a delegate to the Republican Na- tional Convention in 1836, has announced his sup- port of President Roosevelt in this campaign In a letter which praises the achievements of the Roose- velt administration and attacks Wendell Willkie in severe terms. Mr, Osborn said that President Roose- velt had “done more for the real, material, social intellectual and moral interests of the masses than any man who was ever President, not excepting Washington or Lincoln.” Sunday, September 29, has been designated by the President as “Cold Star Mothers’ Day” and the people of the nation have been requested to give suitable expression “to the love, sorrow and rever- ence of the people of the United States for the Gold Star Mothers.” This is an occasion that should not be overlooked. The men who gave their lives for this country, during the first World War, should never be forgotten and, just as important, the people of this country should not hesitate te accord full hon- ors to the mothers of the heroic dead. Radio listeners might as well know it now as later because when March 20, 1941, comes around there will be a wholesale shift of operating fre- quencies of 777 out of 862 broadcasting stations In the United States. Many favorite programs will be located at different places on the dial and push- button sets, in many cases, will have to be readjust ed to the situation. While there will be much In. convenience in connection with the changes that are necessary, as a result of an international agreement, the arrangement will eliminate interference due to clashing of adjacent waves and overcrowding of channels. Frequencies to be “moved” lie in the téondenst spectrum above the 720-kilocycle mark. The job will not only affect listeners but the broad- casting stations will also have their own troubles in adjusting their transmitters, It §s very interesting from time to time, to read about the news that is being presented to the people of totalitarian nations. Along this line, Virginio Gayda, often a mouthpiece for Italian fascism, tells readers that “the entire responsibility for the present bombings of London lies solely with Eng- land " Along the same line, he quotes the New York Times as declaring, “Germany will not hesitate to gas, and declares that this means that “Eng- is;preparing to use gas,” and, as Is customary, an attempted alibi. Of course, any intelli- rican knows that Great Britain has noth- with the news articles which appear in 's great newspaper, but the Italian Gov- n complete control of all information per- to reach the Italian people, uses any tech. that it thinks will tend to create hatred of the HERR #ied ' The aerial assaults that have been launched against the British islands in the past few weeks have aroused apprehension in the hearts of many Americans. It was good news to us, in this peaceful , to hear that the valiant men who serve the Royal Air Force are inflicting such heavy losses on the German planes, This is good news, not because brave German pilots lose their lives, but because we are convinced that the cause of human Hberty de. pends, just now, upon the valor and determination of the R. A. F. It is putting up a fight that earns the admiration of the ci world and verifies Winston Churchill's splendid tribute, “Never have s0 many owed so much to so few!” The German ef. fort to “wipe out” the British serial defense has not | i... PL el i | | yet succeeded, Reports from overseas indicate that the British retain strong aerial forces and that they ore ready for heavier attécks than they have yet witnessed. This Is a happy augury for a better day in the future when the eivilization of the world may be guaranteed by force in the hands of nations ruled by men who believe in democracy and In jus- tice to all people THE DRAFT IN PEACE Now that the President has signed the selective service draft act, the United States, for the first time In a year of peace, has resorted to compulsory military service in connection with national defense, That public opinjon approves this legislation is almost self-evident. ‘The developments of modern warfare have convinced American mothers that it would be criminal to send untrained soldiers against seasoned veterans, They do not want war, but if wir comes, they insist that their sons have at least, an even chance The demand in some quarters for a trial of the volunteer system merely indicates, in our opinion, that these fellows haven't caught up with world events, or else that they wanted to postpone the draft until after the election. There is no use in try- ing the volunteer system; it |s the amateur way of preparing for war and if this country becomes in- volved in war in the next few years, it will be no amateur affair The silly charge that operation of the draft law will be a disgrace to the youth of the land and a re- flection on their patriotism has nothing in it that we can fathom. The draft law operates equally upon every citizen of the republic, within the age limits whether rich or poor. It is a democratic procedure 1. permits the government, which is best qualified to pass judgment upon the type of service required from citizens YELP OF COWARDLY CURS Hitler and his murderous cohorts evidently be- licve that any adversary they atiack should submit without striking back. Germany, it seems, can re- sort to any form of warfare, but when they receive the same kind of blows in return, they yelp lke cowardly curs Just recently news from Berlin said that all Germany was crying for revenge against England because bombs had fallen upon some German vil- lages including unfortunately a hospital. And since these were not military objectives yelp the Naas, Britain would be subjected to merciless bombing In the future Were the war not such a solemn, thing, here would be the time to laugh, For more than eleven consecutive days, London's hospitals schools, stores, parks and still more structures with- out the slightest military importance, have been shattered into dust by German bombs Official reports admit that more than 12,000 res- idents, many of then women and children, virtually none of them soldiers, have been killed or wounded by German bombs. These frightful missiles were dropped through clouds and at night indiscrimin. ately. It was Nazi frightfulness and terror at iis worst And now that the Germans are beginning to fee] the sting of their own medicine, they whine and talk of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth Germany started this scourge of the sky. They are at last beginning to realize what it means to the victims. And for those responsible for it no sym. pathy is available on this side of the world In view of huch howls from Germany, there Is reason to hope that the contest is becoming less one- sided and that England is bullding up its strength to the point where barbarism is meeting its match and that ultimately it will be exterminaled and the whole world sigh with well deserved relief shocking GOP LEADER WILL SUPPORT ROOSEVELT Albert H Ladner, a Pennsylvania Republican who received 230000 votes in the Pennsylvania sen- atorial primary last spring, has announced his in- tention to suppost Roosevelt for President in a let- ter vigorously denouncing Wendell Willkie. Mr. Lad- ner is a close friend of Senator James J. Davie who journeyed out to Elwood, Indiana. to help tell Willkie that he had been nominated for President He is also a past supreme dictator of the Loyal Order of Moose and known throughout country for his activities in that society In announcing his decision Mr. Ladner sald: “1 am a parent like many of the millions of Americans who must make a vita] decision on November 5 1 have two sons, both of whom hold commissions In the National Guard of Pennsylvania. I am willing, and I believe it to be just that if my country needs my sons—and 1 expect them to be calied—they should and will be ready to make whatever sacri. fices are necessary. How, then, can 1 conscientiously give my support to a candidate for the Presidency of the United States who places more value upon the dollars contained in the money bags of Wall Street than he does in the value of the blood that flows through the veins of my children? “As an American interested in the future of our country and as a parent. I cannot and will not sup- port the candidacy of Wendell 1. Willkie. He cares not how many of the youth of America are sacrificed in the defense of the country as long as its vested wealth is left slone His iden of pros- perity would be a repitition of the World War days of profiteering the WAR PROFITS AND A FORMER WAR The people of the United Staies should not lose sight of the immense profits that some business in- terests expect to make out of the national defense program We know that there are big business leaders who insist that they are patriotic afd ready to serve their country. Most of them are patriotic but they will charge the nation full price for any services ren. dered The experience of this country in the last war aptly demonstrates the truth of this assertion While we are not convinced that it is to the na- tional interests at this time to commandeer indus. trial plants for national defense, we are thoroughly in favor of stringent legislation to regulate the profits of war industries. If men are to be drafted for a year's service in the Army, it is only fair and equitable that business and industry make a reason- able contribution to national defense, which includes the protection of their interests. In this connection, it is interesting to note that the Justice Department has asked the Supreme Court to review two World War decisions involving profits on ship-building contracts. The Govern. ment’'s petition charges that the Bethlehem Ship- building Corporation had a contract to receive the cost of constructing vessels, plus a fixed profit of about ten per cent, with a “bonus for savings" equal to one-half of the amount by which actual cost was less than estimated costs. It is charged that the shipbuilding company submitted inflated estimates of couts with the re- suit that it would receive over $25.000000 profits for toing work which cost about $03,000,000 without run- ning any risk of loss. The United States brought suit to recover ex. cess profits paid to the company in Pennsylvania. The Federal judge ruled that the Government could not recover the profits already paid but he called the transaction a “daylight robbery” and said that the company’s conduct reminded him of Rob Roy "who admitted he was a robber but proudly pro- claimed that he was no thief.” The Government has asked the Supreme Court to review the case because it Is “now engaged in a program of mill and nave! srmament compar. able to or greater than that usasitaken in 1917 and 1918" and that it is “of immediate national con. cern that there should be an authoritative determin. ation of the extent to which the country's needs should place it at the mercy of jis contractors” Obviously, It Is of vital importance to the Gov. ernment to secure prompt adjudication of the gues. tions raised in order to be able to adequately pro- tect itself in the framing of contracts connected with the present defense emergency, | good as you- THE Orrick CAr “A Little Nonsense Now and Then, Is Relished by the Wisest Men” Got the Drop on Him Oh, 1 saw a spotted plgeon Cooling In a tree, But gee, oh gosh, I'm Jucky That it never spotted me Says He A friend postcards us from Broadway that Ben Bernie has bought f new sult—coat, vest, and two pairs of yowsahs Tony Speaks His Mind The following is an actual letter received by from one of its “patrons” Aan Insurance agency I write you | am mad lke a dog | say to mister Read {| want the insur- ance for my hous an he say no can sel to you Tony—4 say why an he tel me you are fornor, my company no rite fornor—£hen | get mad so fast | say you ask boss man an he say for me to rite you-| tell you | am so i got nise home an good woman-—she give 5 kids, 2 1 time 3 kids other time, las 5 not al at same time lk firs time—mj aramathea say you think us wops—| will bust you in moth-—you think that { no wan! the insurance--4 think you can shov it up so far down Your throale you can see Ib) think your company stinks like a scunk Rural Romance The small-town lawyer, who also wag a Justice of the Peace, had a hard time getting fully awake when a young couple, accompanied by the girl's father, asked him to perform a marriage ceremony about three o'clock one morning.
