The war, somebody remarks, has changed folks’ way of living. Yes, and the tire and gasoline ration- ing ought to change their way of dying A prominent war commentator says that the United States needs a war plan. This means nothing except that the commentator is not in the confidence of the admirals and generals We know very little about the religion of Russia but the Reds evidently believe in defending Russia, which is more than some religious leaders ip the United States are willing to do for their own nation. GERMANY USES IRISH SPIES It may surprise some Americans to learn that the Germans maintain a legation in Dublin, Ireland, and that American forces in North Ireland are con- stantly spled upon by Nazi sympathizers who keep the Germans thoroughly posted as to the arrival of American units, their equipment, where they are billeted and where they are going. While many of the Irish are outspoken in their preference for Great Britain and some citizens of Eire volunteer for the British armed forces, it is known that a number of Southern Irish people have crossed into Northern Ireland. These espionage ag- ents are sympathetic to the Nazis. Those who loiter around American camps are observed in contact with Nazi sources and two general officers of the Army recently informed Frank L. Buckhorn, New York Times correspondent, that the Germans were aware of exactly where our men were in Northern Ireland and what they were doing. Certainly, so long as Eire remains neutral, un- able to join hands with the free nations of the world in their fight against Germany, it will be almost im- possible to keep any military secrets from Hitler. Moreover, members of the outlawed Irish Republi- can Army are numerous and the discovery of an arms cache, intended to be used against American forces, gave publicity to a danger which has been NE SHOUL D SATISFY FARMERS NOW For a number of years, prior to 1933, American farmers demanded “parity,” a term adopted to ex- press the conviction that agriculture was entitled to a larger share of the nation's annual income, The goal of parity, as adopted and advocated by farmers, was to restore to agriculture the same relative buying power that it possessed in the five. venr period 1009-1014 In the course of the rearrangements that stabil- ized the economy of the nation, after the disastrous panic In the late Twenties parity was accepted as a nations] goal, even though it was freely admitted that it could not be reached overnight The impact of war in Europe, followed by our own participation in the great struggle, created ab- normal stres resulting in higher wages for work- men in certain classifications and higher prices for agricultural products in certalp groups With the threat of inflation growing dally the President has asked Congress to empower him to stabilize farm prices and industrial wages, He has rin into the so-called “farm bloc” of Congressmen who insist thet parity must be redefined, so as to give 1 increased goal, as compared with the based on 1909-14 whatever for farm farm votes or farmers at this critical time In willing to admit that it 0 agricult parity ire rineiple There 1s no excuse leaders, politicians depending on the themselves the ante the nation’s We are should be advanced in future years but we do not be. that the mass of farmers the country, as any group, wish to take advantage of the situation to obtain greater Increases to raise history lieve of as patriotic Wal Common sense should and does tell farmers that they, more than any other economic group lose through inflation. Millions farmers, in every State of the union, look back with horror upon the troubled vears that followed the big boom of the last war, Hundreds of thousar look back with considerable sadness, because they have not, as yet recovered that swamped them from the adversity of factor involved In proposal to Congress, which is often Roosevelt proposes that a floor be put under farm prices, in order to protect farmers from any wstrous overproduction as a result of war.

Here it is: “1 went to bed sick as the silky voiced commentator again repeated his account of our victory, when all out here knew that we had only expended ourselves in the hope that it might slow down a Japanese victory, and we had fal od ¢ even In this’ The story of these men, who evacuated Gen. MacArthur and his staff, after fighting a hopeless battle but destroving Japanese cruisers, destroyers, transports and even planes, Is thrilling. Ratlions got so low they ate a cat and “all you got for junch was stomach cramps about noon” Wa book pulls no pu It is worth reading, cially by complacent Americans who think of the pr of peace and forget that we {ace arrogant, brutal and greedy enemies It is the tale of brave men, meeting great but fighting all the time He WAR RATION BOOK NO. 2 » Book No. 2 has gone to the printer 150000 books will be ready for the day when ng to consumers covers a wider range of pro- than it does at the present Ume say inches sl odds War Ratior and rationi ducts The new book of coupons, ane of a series of four, will be ready about Christmas, It is designed to pro- vide a ready means for rationing any article or com- modity. almost at the instant the danger of a criti- cal shortage appears [It will contain 192 coupons, eight pages, each page of different color and each coupon separately designated by number and letter, At the present time, it is expected that the new books will be used for the meat-rationing plan which will allow consumers about two and one-half pounds of meat a week. The understanding is that every person will be given a book and if they dine out. in hotels or restaurants, they will be required to sur- render their coupons {f they order meat It is explained that consumers will retain their sugar ration books and their use will not be affected by the new coupons, THE RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN The loss of Stalingrad, if the Nazis beat down the stubborn defenders, will result in some disar- rangement to the Soviet defenses but nothing like a disaster will follow Two-thirds of the Russian front has been rela- tively inactive in 1042, with neither side apparently ready to assume the risks and losses of an offensive along the whole line The Russians are probably conserving their strength for what may lie ahead and the suspicion abounds that the Nazis do not desire to commit their entire armed forces to a gruelling campaign that will proceed deep in the heart of Russia. Hitler's restraint in Russia is either the result of a man-power shortage, which seems a bit improbable Just now, or the necessity of holding in reserve suf- ficient soldiers to meet any second front In western Europe TWO-THIRDS WERE CASUALTIES The Canadians, Who made up five-sixths of the force that attacked Dieppe, paid a very high price for the information and experience obtained. It is now revealed that 67 per cent of 5,000 Can- adians were casualties in the heavy fighting that followed the large-scale raid. More than half of the attackers are recorded as missing, which means dead or captured. In addition, there are 170 known dead and 633 wounded. This leaves 1.650, the total of those who escaped uninjured. The figures give us an Indication of the difficulties and dangers connheéted with a “second front” in western Europe. THE JAPANESE DON'T CARE, NOW! The Japanese government shows little indica- tion of pegmitting the United States to send to Americans, now prisoners of war in the hands of the Japanese. If Japan is adamant, there is little that we can do for these Americans now. The day is coming, however, when we can avenge their mistreatment and exact justice in their names. tues of peace and the glory of loving our enemies that we forget to take action that will tend to protect our fighting men in any war that may come to us hereafter.
