YOU MAY not agree with Presi-
dent Truman all along the line. We
do not. But he is putting in some
very fine work now in handling the
critical situation that our country
is facing. We have read his reasons
for asking the big! General Motors or-
ganization to show their books to the
Fact Finding board appointed by him
to investigate the CIO, AWU strike
now holding the business world in
its grip. Here is a point we are
watching—the president asks General
Motors to open its books and ALSO
the CIO-AW Union to jic the same—
show its books. Our prediction is the
CIO gang will not do so if it can help
it. It is up to the president to make
them come across with their books.

has issued a letter to the members of
the Chamber advising more thought
in the selection of members of the

given in the past. He predicts that
next summer, if one attends any East
Texas political rally, he will FIND
MORE INTEREST in a CONSTA-
BLE’S RACE than in that for REP-
RESENTATIVE in the Legislature.
How true that is will be easily recall-
ed by people who attend such rallies,

makes the laws that LEVY TAXES ■

voiced against the nomination of Mrs.

Mrs. Roosevelt’s nomination was
opposed by Senator Bilbo of Mississ-

‘ I cannot and will not give my ad-
vice and consent to the appointment
of Mrs. Roosevelt. Three Democrat-
ic Senators—Majority Leader Bark-
ley. Dennis Chavez of New Mexico
and Glen H. Taylor of Idaho—
promptly came to the defense of the
former First Lady with glowing trib-
utes.
Chavez said that “in my opinion,

mother.”

The conviction of and the death
sentence pronounced on the “Tiger of
Malaya” sets an important precedent
in international law. It is the first
time a military officer of such high
rank has been held legally responsi-
ble fcr the violations by his men of
“the laws of war.”
The No. 1 Japanese of the Philip-
pines is not to be hanged for winning
the battle of Singapore—or failing to
win the battle of Manila—but for
failing to control his soldiers. Gener-
al Yamashita’s claimed ignorance of
the mass murders, rapes, executions,
and tortures of war prisoners, intern-
ees, and civilians, which shocked the
civilized world, was held by the Mil-

. . . where murder and viciqus, re-
vengeful actions are widespread of-

tempt by a commander to discover
and control criminal acts, such as a
commander may be held responsible,
even criminally liable, for the law-
lessness of his troops, depending up-
on the nature and circumstances sur-
rounding them.
It was a fair trial, by the prisoner’s
own admission, and his six American
defense attorneys, whom he termed
“brilliant and upright officers.” did
credit tc their profession. If the
United States Supreme Court—to
whom appeal was made before the
conviction—does not find fcr the de-

AMARILLO Area, Dec. 18—Con-
tinued dry weather is necessitating
the taking of cattle off wheat pas-
ture over he entire Plains region, and
the cattle market has reflected the
condition.
For the past three weeks the stock-
er cattle market has been slightly off
and the condition of the cattle has
shown the lack of good feed.
But the demand for choice beef cat-
tle continues strong and the pric<
remains steady, close to $14.
Ranges which have been in tan-
shape all fall are now bone-dry. and
wheat pasture is just about gone,
farmers taking the cattle off the
wheat for fear of he cattle pulling the
reals from the dry soil. . There has
been no moisture in this area for
NEARLY THREE MONTHS.
It will now be necessary for the
cattlemen to dip into their feed bins,
and unless moisture comes soon
manv will have to start selling, feed
being scarce this year ecause of
drought conditions.

There’s a shocking sermon in un-
preparedness fcr the American peo-
ple in recent statements, taken to-
gether, of two of our military leaders.
Cne was the statement of Gen.
Marshall, wartime Army Chief of
Staff, before the Pearl Harbor Inves-
tigation Committee that one month
before the sneak attack, the United
States was NOT IN POSITION TO
BACK UP by military means any
warnings that might have been sent
to Japan.
The other was a statement by Brig.
Gen. O’Donnell of the Army Air Forc-
es that, “due to the HYSTERICAL
DEMANDS of the people made upon
Congressmen to GET THE BOYS
HOME, today we have NO AIR
FORCE worthy of the name; we are
in a bad way defensively.” He add-
ed r-hat the same situation applies, or
, soon will apply, to the Army and
Navy.
In other words, four months after
the end of history’s MOST TERRI-
1 BLE WAR, we find our nation
‘ DRIFTING BACK into the condition
that existed before the outbreak of
1 war. That was the condition of NOT
■ BEING READY for any attack that
might come against the United States.
True enough, General Marshall’s
s statement was not particularly new
L as a disclosure that this nation was
not prepared when Avar came. It
’ wasn’t ready despite the fact that it?
industry and military had been in the
process of gearing for war since the
Nazis invaded Poland more than two
years previously.
But the statement was SHOCKING
as an emphasis upon the degree of
our unpreparedness. It was tragic-
ally provocative of the thought that
there might have been no Pearl Har-
bor attack and no Pacific Avar if the
United States had been in position to
back up words with action. If sve
had been STRONG THEN, the Japs
certainly would have knoAvn it. just
as they kneAV that militarily we were
WEAK.
Unhappily, the conditions cited by
General Marshall are water under the
bridge. We can’t UNDO WHAT HAS
BEEN DONE.
But Ave could make sure that the
conditions which invited attack in
1941 never exist again. And that is
exactly ivhat WE ARE FAILING TO
DO. This is a condition to which
General O”Donnell’s statement di-
rects attention. It is one concerning
which many of cur military leaders
have sounded warning recently.
Whether the understanable anxiety
to “get the boys home” is respon-
sible for. or contributes in large de- ---------
gree to that condition, we annet pre- altogether hard and selfish. Maybe, then, the fresh and
tend to know. Certainly, anyone __ ... . .7
would be reluctant tc suggest, that
there be any SLACKENING OF THE
PACE at which the boys are being-
returned.
But Avhatever the reason and xvbat-
ever the remedy, there are obvious
reasons for GENUINE ALARM that
Uncle Sam is letting his guard down.
There are reasons to fear that, al-
ready, this nation is ignoring the les-
son of UNPREPAREDNESS for
which it has paid with so much
blocd. suffering and grief and once
more is TRUSTING ITS FUTURE to
fate rather than to its own strength.
ONE OF OUR most appreciated
“exchanges” is the Tioga Herald e -
ited and owned by J- Hodges. It is
hand set, 5-column folio, never mme
nor less. And every line in it is care-
fully selected. Editor Hodges is one
of the old school printers, like this
editor. Began back in the days of
the Washington hand press, inked
with hand roller and type lice were
plentiful. The man who helped this
editor to “learn his cases and stick
type”—Col. E. K. Rudolph, owned the
Herald at the time of his death. We
visited that good man only a short
time before his passing. Natuially
we love the Herald, and are glad, to
see it in such good care as it is writh
Editor Hodges.

I want you brave and strong to be.
