‘Too Much Pants Warming In Bureau Offices’ - - BabsoM

RICHMOND, Va„ March 6 —
_ Every businessman knows the
™ thousands of rules and regula-
tions which are being enacted
at Washington. Donald Nelson
is begging manufacturers to
produce more; but they have
to spend so much time warming
their pants in Washington offi-
ces in order to see some 2x4 of-
ficial that they have not the
time needed to run their plants.
Even when home they are for
ced to spend half their day talk-
* ing with lawyers or reading new
U. S. restrictions received in
the morning’s mail.
Perhaps all these orders
are needed. It may be nec-
essary to out-Na/.i Na/.iism
♦ in order to crush Hitler. How-
ever. most orders are- con-
fusing and ninny of them
see in unnecessary. If Nelson
will close up half the offi-
ces and send 25 per cent of
4* the clerks hack home to do
needed work we'll win the
war sooner. Yet, I just hear
that $40,OtIO,(MM) more is to
he spent for office furniture
to warm more pants.
One thing is certain. These ru
hold back a river indefinitely.
Finally, either the water over-
flows or else the dam breaks
Some day there will be an aw-
ful reaction to this bureaucracy.
Either the Democratic party will
be thrown out bodily or else . . .
It seems to many that the New
Dealers are at last busy digging
their own graves.
Deceiving And Misleading
T am not a naval or army man;
but after talking with them I
always feel very' blue. Why?
Beause they urge “deceiving and
misleading”, insisting that suc-
cess in war demands the east-
ing- aside of all moral princip-
les. They substitute not only
brutality but al4o blasphemy,
deceit, intrigue, abuse, dope,
and fraud of all kinds. It may
be true 1bat “all is fair in war
and love”: but victories and
marriages won by this slogan
surely lead to trouble in the end.
Tire above is not complaint or
criticism of our brave men. We
all owe everything lo them. But
what will such a training of the
youths of all nations finally do
to the world? We know that the
great need is for integrity, self
control, and those other quali-
ties which make for real man-
hood. Certainly, if our enemies
cannot be trusted we should he
able to trust our own people
and not treat them as brainless
and soulless robots.
| Military men try to cheer me
| up by saying that after the war
this procedure will be stopped
j and we can again live as hi;
i man beings: but can we? I re-
cently attended a conference on
I providing employment after the
war. We were told (1) that 25-

Submits Proof
Of Statement
Over one mqnth has gone by
since I announced my candida-

time J. gave out to the public
the following affidavit:

a breaking point. A dam canno. f]en|y wjthout anyone thinking
I an end is in sight; (3) that 20,-
i 000,000 of these people will im-
mediately be thrown out of
| work.
Thereupon we were told of va-
i rious plans for new rules and
I regulations for all employes and
I workers as to just what we
must do, how much we must
] spend, where we shall work or
(sell after the war.‘Apparently
there will be more instead of
less regulating when peace con-
es. The present, plan is to add to
the restrictions in order to
fight the peace” as one of the
Washington “higher-ups” ex-
pressed it.
Many of the government
i-estriotions seem crazy to
statisticians. \Vc know (hat
when you begin lo -‘regulate”
nature yon arc putting your
linul into a hornet's nest.
The war today is largely due
to tariffs, bonuses, and oth-
er forms of national greed
which have upset natural
trade and industry.
Some day we must “go
through the corn shelter ’ and
pay for our mistakes. Our diffi-
culties will be solved only as
we return to letting nature work
out, these problems through
natural rewards and punish
ments, not through artificial
I commissions and bureaus.
If artificial rationing, prion-
I ties, price fixing, censorship.

The question has
eh. since you are t
honor of the office.
As to my public activities:
In Feb. 1939, I was invited
to and spoke in Austin to The
Dirt Farmers Congress on the
subjects “Landlord and fen-
ant,'’ “Foil and Water Conser-
vation” and “The Theft oi Live-
stock." In Feb., 19-10, 1 was call-
ed back to Austin, and was one
of the executive committeemen
that coordinated a group oi
farm cooperatives. At piesent 1
hold three county-wide offices in
the church and I am on a dist-
rict committee, I also am tne
county chairman of a national
< rganization.
With world conditions as
they are and since the bulk of
our young manhood
drafted (my own boys in dud
ed) i feel that I can't afford
to do less than I am sworn to
rio in the affidavit. I will glad
ly do this and more. I have al-
ready bought bonds and stamp-
and conitribujtled to the Reel
Cross and will continue to do
so. It. is not my purpose to seel,
any financial gain during this
conflict. It is nrv purpose to
give my best and my all to my ;
country and her allies. If our
young manhood can give their
all in our armies for $21 per
month utrd many of them spill -
their blood for the liberth s we i
American people hold dear and
sacred, then I can give my sal-1
ary to furnish them with guns, j
dress then’
nomy anti vote honestly and
conscientiously.
I appreciate very much the
words of encouragement and
the moral support being pledg-
er! me from all sections of the
district. 1 shall not fail you.
I solicit your vote and influ-
ence. I thank you.

A Better Loaf For
Better Living
The new Sunbeam loaf is the result of many years of
research and improvement by the baking industry. It
is positively the finest loaf of bread that money can
buy. Now made under the modern methods of the new
Sunbeam bakery it represents everything you could wish
for in a loaf of bread. If you are not among the thou-
sands now using Sunbeam bread, plan to do so at once.
