UNION PRESS-COURIER PAGE SEVEN OUR HOME SHORES War Department officials have disclosed that evacuation of Am- erican wounded form the Europ- ean and Mediterranean theaters will be completed by August 1st. Only 19,000 wounded now re- main in Europe, 83,000 having been evacuated since V-E day, 68,000 by ship and 15,000 by plane. Of those remaining, 14,000 will come home by ship and 5,000 will be moved by air. The evacuation of patients from European hospitals to the United States was speeded up by assign- ing additional hospital ships to this work and by increasing the number of patients flown from ac- ross the atlantic. The army's fleet of hospital ships in the Atlantic was increased to 18 for evacuation of wounded and hospital equipment was placed in a number of troop transports to give the army additional patient- carrying capacity. Twenty troop transports, equ- ipped as temporary hospital ships, were originally scheduled to re- turn 18,210 casualties in June, 4,- 304 in July, and 2,144 in August; and the army's regular hospital ships were to return 6,750 in June, 8,772 in July and 4,846 in August. The program would have placed all movable European Battle Cas- ualties in the United States by the end of August, but the army re- arranged schedules in such a way that it is now believed that the job can be completed by Aug. 1. Return of the wounded men has also been accelerated by bringing larger numbers by air. It was first planned to bring 5,000 patients a month by plane through June, Ju- ly and August, but these numbers have been increased along with the general plan of completing the ev- acuation at the earliest possible date. The Charleston, S. C., port of embarkation, which has been the home port ofr the U. S. Army hos- pital ships, in the Atlantic, is re- ceiving the majority of such ves- sels bringing patients back from Europe. War Department officials poined out that the arrival of these thous- ands of wounded and sick in this country at an accelerated rate dur- ing the coming weeks will place a heavy load in the Army's general and convalescent hospitals. The sugeon general of the army has estimated that the population of all Army hospitals in the Uni- tea States will reach 315,000 by the end of September, taking into consideration the discharges.

People are accepting their personal responsi- bilities. Americans won't stand for being pushed around—but neither do they want to do the pushing. They are standing on their own two feet and thinking for themsel- ves. The other day there came to my desk a little pamphlet called “Ten Commandments for Investors.” What does that have to do with democracy ? It has a lot to do with it. As everyone who has tried to operate even a peanut stand well knows. Of course, the men with ideas could wait until they made enough to set up in business for themselves—but who should live that long? And, while we are on the sub- ject—what is an investor? We in- vest when we buy a home, when we hold life insurance, when we deposit our precious cash in the banks—and when we buy war bonds. We are investors in the fu- ture. We are but part of the whole | —we are stockholders in America Incorporated. Here is what impressed me in the pamphlet. First of all, it came out into the open. It frankly rep- | resented investors. It didn’t at- | tempt to finable and conceal its | purpose under flowery terms. It was aboveboard about its aims. It | was the code—written by a busi- nes man and a lawyer—of an or- ganization of investors, organized just as workingmen, farmers, bus- | iness groups, are, .to represent their interests and to establish the collective bargaining power of the small investors. But instead of presenting a ser- ies of claims, or a bill of rights, it presented ten commandments for investors. Not what they demand- ed of others, but what they de- manded of themselves. They as- sumed responsibilities and listed them , together with their own aims. That is what I call democratic procedure. I'm opposed to pressure groups as such—but I'm all for those who try fairly to sell their fellow citizens on the rightness of their cause. Pressure is un-Ameri- can Selling is democratic. Ameri- cans don’t coerce. They try to con- vince. And if they lose, they get up and try again. As Americans, we hold as our basic thesis that the good of the majority is the good of all—with due protection to all minorities: that all men are entitled to equal treatment and to equal responsi- bility. As Americans we cannot have one without the other. As Americans we are entitled to both. — Ruth Taylor. aes By Ruth Taylor. Only the savage lives by him- self and for himself. Civilization demands cooperative living. Each gain made, each step forward that makes life easier or more secure implies the working together of the many for the benefit of all. This is not an altruistc attitude. It is plain horse sense. It is intelli- gent self interest to recognize our interdependence one upon the oth- er. We became a nation when 13 sovereign states accepted their in- terdependence and gave up some of their cherished privileges to es- tablish a Bill of Rights for all. We have fought a long war in high cost in young lives because after the last war we did not re- cognize our responsibility—our de- pendence upon others; because we did not see that domestic prosper- ity to a very great degree was de- pendent upon world prosperity; because at home we did not see that all groups must be prosperous if our economy was to be healthy. We have learned an expensive lesson—but, God be thanked, we have learned it, and even in the midst of turmoil thre are those who have been looking ahead and planning for the peace to.come. To be sure, there are those self- blinded critics who say that “plan- ning” is a Fascist or Communist ideology, destructive of rugged in- dividualism. Yet how far would that most rugged individualist, the frontiersman, have gone in the wilderness without careful plan- ning ? Without cautious prepara- tion? He would have been scalped long before he reached the nearest settlement. “Planning” is no woreign idealo- gy. The Declaration of Interdepen- dence is as American as the De- claration of Independence. What is the Declaration of In- terdependence ? It is a joint state- ment by the Agriculture, Business and Labor Committees on Na- ticnal policy of the National Plan- ning Association. In the words of Hans Christian Sonne, Chairman of the Executive Committee: “This declaration is a credo of faith in democracy. It is the conscious at- tempt of groups to analyze their common needs and to seek mutual agreement on their common prob- lems; to, in self interest, put aside selfishness for the good of the na- tion as a whole. National planning is democracy planning. This is why we believe it will show us the way to a peaceful and prosperous world.

TELEPHONE SERVICE FOR FARMERS will be Better than Ever Before For more than half a century, the telephone has served the farmer well . . . in business . . . in pleasure = . . in emergencies, when minutes count. Today, of course, we are ail faced with an emergency . . . war in the Pacific. And until that is won, the expansion of rural (and city) telephone service must mark time. Make no mistake about this, however: As soon as the green light flashes—on full production, on manpower, on construction—the telephone will serve the farmer even better than before.
