OPA ProgressBackward
A blurb recently emitted by the OPA with intent
to shame complaincrs about rationing says the Portland
Orcgonian tells us that our forefathers did without
sugar until the thirteenth century without buttered
bread untfl the fifteenth without potatoes until the
sixteenth without coffee tea and soap until the seventeenth
without gas matches and electricity until the
nineteenth A common comment on this record is that
our forefathers also did without the OPA
Our forefathers also did without false teeth safety
razors patent toilets and thousands of articles too
numerous to mention They didnt have department
stores chain stores milk in bottles canned food or
bath tubs
Eddie Rickenbackcr and his companions starved on
a raft for nearly a month and still lived to toll the tale
But is that any parallel we should seek to follow If
our national economy has created shortages at n time
when surpluses arc needed we can do without as our
forefathers did if necessary
Our planning and energies however should be
directed toward increased production and progress
the constant aim of our forefathers
Weekly Seimon
BY THOMAS IIATSWELL
A good many people appear to look upon religion
as merely an adherence to a certain set of principles
or practices set up by the particular organization to
which they claim membership If one is a habitual attendant
at the meetings of his organization if he participates
in the machinery of its functioning and is
ruthlessly efficient in its mechanics ho is looked upon
by many us being religious Such consistent practice is
not of itself an indication of the religious content of
an individual it is moiely an evidence of compliance
with a uniform conventional practice It is not religion
unless the individual has with it a love of God and
his fellow men Personally I would rather take my
chances with the individual who is less perfect in the
mechanics of his organization but who has more of
humanity in his heart more of the spirit of love charity
kindness forbearance gentleness sympathy humility
unselfishness and kindred golden virtues It is these
things that mankind needs They arc the tilings that
reveal the presence of Christ in the heart

Bill Too High
Says Congressman
BY GEORGE PECK
This has been an era of nv
words slogans quips maxima
aphorisms adages and wisecracks
twould seem that when Hitler
loosed his mad dogs upon Europe
he also opened the floodgates
for a veritable torrent of
new and expressive Europe he
also opened the floodgates for a
veritable torrent of new and ex
prebsive language It remained
however for that octogenarian
Congressman Robert L Doughton
C hairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee to coin a new
truism that tops them all
This veteran member of the
Congress hes been there since
1911 expressing his disapproval
of the proposal of Secretary of
the Treasury Morgenthau that the
Congress authorize more than 10
billion dollars in additional taxes
made an eloquent speech of just
fourteen words He said You
can shear a sheep every year but
you can skin him only once
Congressman Doughton hasnt
been in Washington for 32 years
for nothing He wasnt honored
with the chairmanship of the most
important Congressional Committee
just because of his good looks
with which incidentally ho is
amply endowed The North Carolina
legislator has had his car
to tho ground and his eyes wide
open every minute hes been
at the nations capital and
throughout his fourscore years
ho has learned many tilings one
of the most important of which
is that there is a limit to how
a government can tax without destroying
enterprise and eventually
creating an economic vacuum
leaving little or nothing upon

Occupation Army
InGermanyJapan
After War
BY FRANK DIXON
Looming large in postwar plans
is the question of what shall bo
uonc withJ Germany and Japan
after the war to make it reasonably
certain that they will not
precipitate another war as soon
as they have sufficiently recovered
from the effect of tho prcsnt war
I agree with Eddie Ricken
backcr that unless tho Allis maintain
an army of occupation in
Germany and Japan and prevent
them for the next twentyfive
yrars at least from building a
single submarine a single tank
a single battleship a single plane
wo will within twentyfive years
have another war to fight
A new generation is going to
have to grow up in these countries
If this generation is going to
bo any different than the present
generation it is going to have to
be taught an entirely different
ideology than that which isrbelng
taught today
That was the trouble with the
settlement of tho last war The
serpent of conquest and was was
not killed It was merely scotched
While wo made treaties with
tho leaders that included as we
thought every safeguard for
peace wo permitted Germany to
teach her children in her schools
tho same thing that she had always
taught them that Germany
was a superior nation that her
people wore superior and that
she was hemmed In on all sides
by jealous enemies who would
crush her if they were not crushed
first They were taught that
Germans should prepare to crush
these enemies first should dedicate
their lives to making Germany
the ruling nation
It is but natural if we permit
this sort of thing to be taught the
children of Germany the new
generation will bo just like the
present generation and another
war as soon as the country can
recover from the present war
will be inevitable This is so obvious
that it requires no dlscus
rcn or explanation All the treaties
all tho schemes we can dd
vi e are not going to correct the
situation if we continue to allow
tho seeds of war to be planted
and nurtured in the hearts and
minds of each coming generation
This war is not going to be won
when we defeat the enemy and
have him prostrate under the
heel We will still have another
war to fight the war within
Germany to see to it that there
is not built up in the hearts and
minds of the youth of the land
a potential army which the sons
of the veterans of this war will
be called upon to fight the same
as the sons of World War 1 are
now fighting this war
What is true in this respect of
Germany will be also true of
Japan
As in Germany so in Japan we
will have to create a new ideology
This can not be done at tho
council table It will take years
of careful painstaking work This
fight though not so costly in life
and material will bo none the
less difficult It will require the
utmost vigilance and painstaking
persistence
Both of these nations are what
their preceding generations have
made them If wq permit this
generation to shape the next it
will be the same as this generation
We may by force of arms
hold it boiling under the surface
in subjection but they will inspirit
still be unconqucred
Obviously the way to prepare
for the future is to build into tho
youth of today tho principles with
which wo expect to deal twenty
five or thirty years hence It is
an inseparable part of any program
of world peace

With the successful completion of the United War
Fund Drive in Swisher Counly the people of Swisher
County have again demonstrated that they arc always
ready to do their part It is gratifying to know that no
matter what project they are called upon to meet we
always know that Swisher County will go over the top

Some folks say I dont mind gas rationing if our
fighting forces get it A statement given out in Washington
recently by the Petroleum Administration for
war shows that more than 50 million gallons of petroleum
products including onethird of the nations
gasoline supply now goes directly every day to the
fighting forces So dont kick about your A cards for
a while at least
After the children all leave home and move to
far away to got back for Thanksgiving dad and mother
a local man says are not concerned about tho price
of turkeys
Everytime I hear some one complaining about the
rationing program a local man said yesterday my mind
goes back to the twenties when we paid thirty cents a
pound for sugar and 50 for a 1750 suit of clothes
The ambition of every business man one talks to
these days is to have time to do some of tho things he
wants to do Trying to run a business in a time like
the present is a strenuous task Every man who is
doin it is figuring what he will do when normal conditions
return and he has a little time

and held up fifteen funerals by picketing the
