are all relegated to the back-
ground, so far as public opinion is
concerned, as we center all at-
tention on the news from Japan,
from Russia and from Europe.
For one thing, the public is
now willing to leave everything in
the hands of President Roosevelt
and is glad to have him go as
far as he wishes in using his full
dictatorial powers under our war
status. Right now them is great-
er unity behind the President
than there probably has ever
been behind the head of any Dem-
ocratic nation Republicans, as
well as Democrats, will no longer
listen to criticism of the Presi-
dent and his policies. They all
realize that the future of Amer-
ica is in his hands—'that our best
hope for victory is in following
his dictates without question.
This attitude might be limited
to actions in regard to war ex-
cept for the fact that practically
every governmental action and
every bill introduced into Con-
gress has a “war angle.”
Discussion at the meeting held
here of leaders of capital and la-
bor, which in ordinary times
would probably have been one
long fight, showed clearly the
desire of both groups to put their j tribute to
personal benefits in the back- j prosperity
ground in order to make whatever
sacrifices are necessary to per-
form a miracle of production. To
both groups, as well as to all
government officials, it is obvious
that the eyes of the nation are
on production and anything whicih
interferes with it will be consid-
ered an act of treason. Public
opinion is far too strong on this
subject for any individual or
group to dare delay production.
Doubts as to the strength of
our army and navy and our abil-
ity to produce faster than our
enemies have disappeared. Al-
though we have met some dis-
appointments, our military ma-
chine already has shown that it
is well equippd and has the best
morale of any force in the world.
It is also clear that the admin-
istration here has done a remark-
able job in planning for war and
has the answer ready to meet
any contingency. Congress is
giving the administration 100 per
cent support in rushing through
i legislation which is essential for

represents loss. The munitions of
war are made for destruction.
They destroy life and property,
and are themselves destroyed in
the process. They have no peace
time value or use.
When the end does come, the
whole world will have the job of
reconstruction—of replacing what
has been destroyed—and that will
be a greater task after this war
than we have ever before known.
Even though the United States is
unlikely to be invaded, we shall
have problems of reconstruction
at home almost as serious as
those of Europe, for we are ex-
panding a very large proportion of
our productive capacity making
armaments and supporting armies.
And we are likely^ to be called
upon to contribute much out of
our national wealth to the rehabil-
itation of less fortunate peoples.
Our government is even now
the carrying out of plans. The

planning for post-war activity, for
a continuation of regular employ-
ment, for improvement in our
American standard of living
And many businesses, through
far - sighted executive thinking,
have gone far beyond the govern-
ment itself in trying to gain a
clear picture of post-war prob-
lems. and in planning to meet
them.
It is not too difficult to foresee
now what agricultural conditions
will be. Our people are learning,
even during these war years, to
see how much better diet and bet-
ter housing and better clothes con-
national welfare and

j terial the products of the farm.
. And we are already sending great
J supplies of agricultural products
| to warring nations, with the pros-
I pect of continuing to do so for
| many years to come.
J There is almost no limit in sight
to the demands that will be made
upon American agriculture. Its
future is bright. Its present posi-
tion is strong, and becoming
stronger •
This column believes that now,
in these days of comparative
prosperity, agriculture, too, should
plan for the future.
That planning should certainly
Include a modernization of all
America's farms The farm is en-
titled to the same . efficiency of
machines and methods that we
have in our factories. Now more
than ever is the time for out-dated
methods and antiquated machines
to go—to be replaced by the great-
ly improved tools that are today
available. *
In this way we can insure agri-
cultural production at lower costs,
thus making possible, without any
sacrifice of the farmer's income, a;
supply of farm products that will
mean continuing health and effi-
ciency—that supply to be withifl
financial reach of all.
LUCKY indeed is
the soldier who ob-
tains a Christmas fur-
lough and spends a
portion of his holiday
season at home, but
what about those hun-
dreds of thousands of
American boys in our
Army who will re-
main on duty in the
cantonments and island bases and
in garrisoning distant outposts?
The answer is voiced in a song
a glorious hymn that will be heard
from virile young throats singing
in praise of Him in whom reposes
mankind’s steadfast hope in this
dark hour of the world’s history.
The hymn, a favorite of the
American soldier and of his fore-
bears in arms since colonial camp-
fires, "O Come, All Ye Faithful,’’
will be sung in 200 new Army
chapels where this year Christmas
services will be held for the first
time. . ,
In his spiritual life. Army chap-
lains declare, the citizen soldier
finds the closest tie linking military
duties with the cherished customs
of his home. Especially among
young men from the farming com-
munities and the towns and smaller
cities the observance of Christmas
in the camps will not be unlike the
programs in churches throughout
the land where friends and neigh-
bors assemble for the Christian
festival. In Army chapels the
same midnight services will be
held, the youthful worshipper will
join in the same inspiring music, he
will hear again the same messages
of hope, the same fervent prayers
for peace and good will.
During Yuletide the singing of
familiar carols will enliven the
camps, not only in the training
areas at home but the same music
of cheer and comfort will echo from
the cliffs of Iceland and the wastes
of Greenland as weii as among the
tropic shores of Trinidad, Guiana,
ana the Orient. For the Chief of
Chaplains has announced the dis-
tribution of the new Army and
Navy Hymnal, a book containing
the best in sacred themes, subdi-
vided for Protestant, Catholic, and
Jewish forms of worship. Special
visitations will be made to the hos-
pitals. Neither will the inmates
of the guardhouse be overlooked.
All will share the spirit of Christ-
mas.
At this season the 1,626 chap-
lains in our Army take stock of
their efforts through the year, and
the Chief of Chaplains advises the
Chief of Staff as well as the home
folks that most encouraging prog-
ress has been made for the spirit-
ual well-being of the troops.
Where 11,640,000 soldiers attended
religious services during the last
fiscal year with an average of 97.8
persons at each service, it is
We wish all of you, our many friends and
customers, peace on earth and rejoice with
you that we live in a country where each
one is free to worship, think, and rjpeak ac-
cording to the dictates of his heart, and
hope with you that this way of life will re-
main unchanged.
Sincerely, we wish you a merry Christmas
and a New Year full of health, happinss,
and prosperity.

pointed out that there is now a
much larger participation and a
corresponding increase in the min-
istration of holy sacraments.
