Thursday, September 9, 1943, BY RUTH TAYLOR. Some people today are disturbed by the phrase United Nations, feeling that it is a union in which we will do all the giving and none of the getting —-that it is an alliance which is def- initely entanging and which will be a handicap once the war is over. They overlook the fact that the Un- ited Nations were not united by the plots of dreamy-eyed international- ists, but by knife-thrusts of the Axis realists. It was the attack upon the nations that united them. And, whe- ther we like it or not, we must re- member that no one nation could have survived alone against the pow- ers arrayed against us. We would have put up a good fight alone, but it could only have been a struggle against hopeless odds. England would have gone down fi- ghting had our isolationists and the “party-liners” been able to stop the flow of supplies from here. Then the Nazis would have had air bases from which to destroy our cities at ease. They would have brought the war home to the Mississippi. It was common danger that brou- ght the United Nations together. If we did not stay together, our fight wil have been in vain. We are but one of the champions of the rights of Mankind. The unity we have learned is an intangible thing difficult to compre- hend in its larger sphere. Enforced cooperation in the common light has brought us nearer to understanding each other. In our present relations it is easier of comprehension. Men from different nations, from differ- ent backgrounds, of different speech, of different faiths have teamed to- gether ,fought together, joked togeth- er and earned that they all have one thing in common—the desire to pro- tect their homes and families and their way of life. We must keep this unity of nations intact in peace as well as in war. Raymond Clapper after his trip to the war and neutral fronts made this stirring observation, “This time peace is going to take the same qualities that war demands. Peace will not be the opposite of war but a continua- tion of ii. Peace this time must con- sist of disarming the enemy, of keep- ing him disarmed and our side arm- ed. The Allies must stand together after the fighting or they will be de- feated one by one as they almost were in the war. Peace will require the same aggressive, confident, real- istic collaboration that has meants the self-preservation of each of us in this war.” We must stand together in a com- mon cause ,but that does not and it must not mean accepting their way of life as ours. We will not compro- mise our own ideals, but we will work together toward a common goal— the permanent peace of a world of free men. —eeV. CORN CROP CUT . BY DRY WEATHER Unfavorable weather conditions this summer in Pennsylvania have in- jured the crop of sweet corn intend- ed for canning and drying to such an extent that the indicated production has dropped more than half a ton per acre below 1942 production ,ac- cording to the most recent survey by the Federal-State Crop Reporting Service in the State Department of Agriculture. Although the Pennsylvania acreage planted in sweet corn for processing, was 20 per cent greater this year than last, the hot dry weather that prevailed in the southeastern coun- ties had by August 1st reduced the indicated production to a point esti- mated to be 4,000 tons below the 1942 crop, the report reveals. Accor- ding to these estimates this year’s production should be 31,300 tons from 17,400 acres, whereas last year’s crop UNION PRESS.COURIER. - RTE 0D DA a1: QUIRES 15 BILLION DOLLARS (NON-BANKING QUOTA) *,. % + must answer to your country’s call. haps think you can possibly afford. more.
