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.

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

“Tt is the late panted sweet corn| THIS ADVERTISEMENT SPONSORED IN BEHALF OF THE WAR BOND CAMPAIGN BY THESE NORTH COUNTY BUSINESS FIRMS AND ORGANIZATIONS—
that has been hit the hardest in our
southeastern section,” said Miles
Horst, state secretary of agriculture,
in commenting on the situation. “It
is this crop that the canners and
dryers depend upon largely for pro-
cessing. There has been more rain-
fall in the central northern and west-
ern portions of the state and all the
crops in general are better in those
areas.
