The Problem Of Madam Perkins
From every State in the Union from hundreds
cf clubs and organizations from literally millions of
private citizens has gone up the demand to President
Hoosevelt for the removal
of Madam Perkins as secretary
of labor and a member of the cabinet
This widespread demand for
the resignation of a
cubintt officer is unusual that
so it deserves the careful
and immediate attention of the President because
the demand is based the
on belief that the presence
of Madam Perkins in the important labV department
js todiy the most difficult obstruction in the problem
of national defense
One of the most recent demands for her icmoval
erne a few days ago from the national committee of
the American Legion who spoke plainly in their pub
Le declaration and coupled with it the proposal for
the tomoying of war materials to Britain by the Navy
Madam Perkins is the Number One National prob
lem just now for her presence in the Federal administration
gives aid and comfort to the obstructionists
and the subversive leadership in industry engaged in
building the arsenal of Democracy
The first step back to
patriotic effort in the required
labor tempo of 1941 is the passing of Madam
Perkm from any official connection with the government

Successes
BY GEORGE PECK
In the final analysis Mr John
Q Public is the boss Often in
this column we unhesitatingly
have criticized certain actions of
business and business men While
championing the cause of Free
Private Enterprise we have not
been blind to the fact that certain
injustices have been committed
We recognize the incontrovertible
fact that after all businessmen
are simply human beings
and that some of them have not
been without sin We arc not condemning
business men as a whole
because of this no more than we
would condemn the Christian
churches because an occasional
minister or priest has failed to live
up to the high standards of his
noble calling
Those business men who in the
past resorted to unfair practices
in the long run automatically
eliminated themselves from the
business picture Boss Public saw
to that Those few business men
who now are not playing the game
according to the rules set up by
society eventually will be expelled
from the business arena Those
who in the future selfishly disregard
the rights of others also will
fall by tiie wayside As in the past
and present Boss Public will see
to that
But as time goes on more and
more business men are coming to
realize that it is good business to
deal the cards off the top of the
deck that honesty and fairness
are absolutely necessary for permanent
success that Boss Public
must be obeyed Honest fair business
men more and more decry
the small minority of dishonest
ones among them and are doing
all in their power to expose and
expel these parasites from the
realm of business Thus business
as a whole and without outside
regulation purges itself and moves

Airplane
Strike Gets
Reactions
BY FRANK DIXON
When the government stepped
into the North American airplane
plant in California and told the
striking workers that they must
go back to work several things
happened
There was an upsurge of confidence
in the government from
one end of the country to the other
In every cross roads town
could be heard words of warm
approval of the governments actionFor some months the feeling
had been growing throughout the
country that the government was
incapable of action or was going
too far in its tolerance of radical
labor leaders at such a critical
time
There was also a rising tide of
resentment in the minds of many
people whose sons and brothers
had been inducted into the army
regardless of their wishes to serve
at S21 a month by the same government
that would not exert its
force to require other men to
work to produce the necessary implements
with which these same
young men were to face the enemy
The inconsistency of it and
the obvious unfairness of it had
begun to build a rising tide of resentment
and bitterness that was
not unjustified
Another thing the action of the
government revealed to the American
people was that the great majority
of workers are not in sympathy
with the actions of their
radical and racketeering leaders
As proof of this within two days
after the plant was taken over
practically all of the workers were
back on the job and production
was proceeding normally all except
the radical leaders These
continued to storm and rave and
paw the air in frenzy and denounce
the government Their
rage and their frenzy did not result
because they thought the
workmen were being mistreated
but because they feared for their
own power
The taking over of the plant
also revealed to the workers that
they need not be slaves to ranting
radical leaders Many workers
in industries of this country today
are being forced into strikes because
of a noisy minority who
care nothing for the welfare of
tlie workmen or the welfare of
the country All they are interested
in is to build up themselves
in power
Nothing that has happened since
the entry of the United States
into its program to aid Britain and
to build up its own defense has
afforded quite so much comfort
and satisfaction to Hitler as the
disturbances caused by strikes in
defence industries called by radicals
and the resultant stoppage of
work Such radical leaders have
been Hitlers ablest allies
The administration has shown
that it is friendly to labor and that
under it labor need have no fear
of being ground down or enslaved
The administration is ready at all
times to lent a sympathetic ear to
its demands and to compel industry
to deal fairly with it Labor
should show its appreciation for
such an attitude If it doesnt if
it continues to listen to the voice
of communistic racketeering radical
leaders it is going to lose the
sympathy and confidence of the
mass of people of this country If
it loses this its fight for larger
rewards for its effort is going to
become increasingly more difficult
because it will not have back of
it public sentiment
The time has come for labor to
break away from much of its
wrong type of leadership play
smart and declare its independenceCresol solution commonly used
as a stock dip is recommended by
the Colorado State College Experiment
Station as a suitable disinfectant
for seedpotato cutting
knives to prevent spread of bacterial
ring rot

A lot of people have wondered who stole the Jock
off the henhouse door but the bunch at the Herald
office this week are wondering who stole the ladder
that was behind the Herald building for the purpose of
going up and reading the rain gauge Maybe we roally
shouldnt say stolen possibly someone just
borrowed the ladder anyway we would appreciate
It if you would just return it
Advertisers in the Herald are really getting a little
extra circulation Wo have just received a letter from
J W Chilton who is visiting in Colorado wanting to
buy 200 extra copies of the Herald and have them
mailed to him to be passed out at the Spud Rodeo that
is to be held in Greeley next week Besides this extra
circulation Mr Chilton is having nearly a hundred
copies mailed this week as he has done in the past
8 or 10 weeks Chilton figures that copies of the Herald
are the best medium for advertising the community
Those who wish to mail extra copies to friends or for
the purpose of advertising the Tulia area may have as
many copies as you want for 5c per copy which includes
wrapping and mailing costs Please notify us

In one of his recent pronouncements Secretary of
State Cordell Hull outlines a broad program of world
economic reconstruction Among the suggestions made
by Mr Hull which should appeal to all nations is an
agreement among nations that raw material supplies of
the world must be available to all nations without
discrimination Another suggestion is that the regulation
of the supply of commodities
must be so handled
as to protect fully the interests of the consuming coun
tries and their people These two suggestions touch
upon points of vital interest to many countries of the
world whose raw material sources are insufficient for
their industrial needs It will also appeal to those coun
tries whose supply of commodities is less than their
needs Idealistic though it sounds it does furnish a baL
sis upon which an enduring future civilization might
be built

One of the most interesting spots weve seen in
Tulia is the flower and plant garden at the homo of J
M Fite More than 225 varieties of plants are to bo
found on the small garden plot and the front and backyards
of the home and the raising of fine dahlias is
featured Fite spends much time studying the characteristics
and nature of the plants he raises and says
that in order to raise any plants successfully they must
be watched very carefully much as you would mind a
baby One of the most
interesting things to us was a
persimmon tree growing in the back yard and which
was literally loaded with fruit I had never seen a persimmon
tree growing and I surely want to see it again
when the fruit is ripe Fite can tell an interesting story
about each of the plants he cultivates and has had a
great deal of experience in propagating and improving J
many varieties of plants Fite is also an ardent advocate
of organizing a garden club in Tulia which would
help flower and plant lovers to grow more and better
flowers for their homes and thus improve the landscap
ing of Tulia homes We dont know very much about a
garden club but after talking with Fite the idea seems
to be a very good one

In reading the history of the early Christian church
we are impressed with the fact that the movement had
no sooner gotten started than persecution came and
scattered the leaders to the four corners of the world
What a disaster this must have appeared to be to the
Christians at that time How discouraging it must have
seemed But as we look back upon it over a span of
two thousand years we realize the advantage and the
blessing that the world received because of this very
persecution Unmolested the church would have perhaps
continued at Jerusalem and have reached out
but slowly requiring many years for it to reach the
known world at that time I am wondering as I readV
of the terrible war in progress throughout the world
today if it is not possible that out of this may come
a new and a better world I am wondering if the new
world will not move a little closer to the pattern of
life set up by Christ I have a feeling that it will I
have a feeling that when the present struggle is over
we are going to emerge chastened and wiser and put
our feet on higher ground and our hearts on higher
ideals This may be in effect another persecution
