Seat Paper NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA The Gold Center ___MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1943.Thinking Out Loud. By H. M. L. One thing about this era in which we live can be said with certainty. There never was a period in history so intensely interesting as the past four years. The next ten years will probably be just as interesting. We do not believe the war will last that long, or anything like it, but afte? the war will come an epoch in which the world will recover from the effects of this war. By 1953 it is probable that a great many adjustments will fhave been made that will effect us all in our daily living, radically if not drastically. « Just for instance, President Roosevelt on Saturday revealed to Alfred Landon, one time Republican nominee for president, that he is formulating a remedy for the world’s: ills. He proposes that after this war is over the. underprivileged peoples whose resources have been ‘‘milked’’ by their overlords of world empire, will not be consigned to’ the same lowly economic status that they occupied in pre-war days. The chief offender of course, in this respect, has been Great Britain. Americans have benefited indirectly from the ‘“‘milking’’ tem since all those nations which did draw revenue from the undertivileged races, were good trade customers of ours. Yet is ¢an easily be proved, that Great Britain’s influence has constantly raised the standards of those races subject to her rule. In fact the principalities in India which have long maintained home rule, or rather have never been deprived of it, are far worse off than those in which British governors are directly responsible. syscountry has voted Philippines in While this freedom for the 1946, it is an open question that only time can answer whether they will be as well"off under a government of their own as they have been under the flag of the United States. Of course, idealists will say they have a right to suffer and learn. This is probably what the Filipinos will do. However, we have set a good example to the British Empire, but it is very doubtful whether conservative Englishmen will welcome any uplift plans President Roosevelt may propose for post-war adjustments in so far as the empire is concerned. India is a very different country from the Philippines and with religious and racial antagonisms that might foment a dreadful series of wars and fam‘ines, were the 360 million people thére suddenly freed a British controls. a fe In any event, while we have no candidates for the job, we'do not believe that the Roosevelt record in fighting the war would warrant the American péople’ ‘in’ ‘taming him to make thé peace, or, ‘ather to represent this couiitry at the peace table. Our domestic situation complicated as it is, has really'not been improved sinée the president took office. Pressure groups have grown stronger and more arrogant. War has ageravated pre-war conditions, which in many instances are due to nothing but the president’s indecision, or hesitation to fire friends he had placed in posts of great responsibility, when they failed. He needed a strong man, able and far sighted, as Secretary of Labor for instance. A silly and utterly incompetent woman holds down the chair but not the job. This dilly-dallying has cost us millions of dollars before and during the war. He is the most expensive president this country ever had, and we have gotten less for our money than any man in the White House ever gave us. There igs nothing in his record that recommends him for the post-war job of establishing a peace that will last. When he talks of ‘‘underpriviliged races’’ and what he pro-poses to do for them with our tax money, because that is exactly what-it will come to, it is time for us & LIET. GOVERNOR AND SENATOR CHMA GUESTS The California Mining Association meeting here yeterday nominated the entire staff of executive officers to serve next year. The election , will ‘take place at the May meeting. Present officers of he association ‘are: George W. Hallock of Grass Valley, president; Fred H. Harvey of Galt, vice president; William W. Esterly, of Grass Valley, secretary; and Mrs. Edna R. Davis of Auburn, tréasurer. Following the report of the nominating committee, a motion was made and carried to close the nominations. This means that all éxecutive officers will continue in their posts for another year. ‘Nine directors are chosen from districts and nine at large: The nine nominated from disricts follow: I. E. Rose, of lowa Hill, North Fork of the} American River; W. E. Wilson, Forest Hill, Middle Fork of the American River; A. H. ‘Turner, Colfax, Bear River; ‘Claude Clark, ‘North Bloomfield, South Fork of the Yuba River; W. B. (Clerkin, North San Juan, San Juan Ridge; E. O. Carvin, Alleghany, Middle Fork of the Yuba River, Ross F.Taylor, Downie. ville, North Fork of the Yuba River; Lewis F. Johnson, La Porte, South Fork of the Feather River; and J. A. Gilzean, Weaverville, Trinity County. Ten were nominated for directors at large, with nine to be elected. The ten were: Judge George L. Jones of Nevada City, Edwin G.

Taylor of San Francisco, Guerdon Ellis of Nevada City, Robert Dahlberg of Auburn, George Duffy of Iowa Hill, John Livingston of Colfax, Andrew J. Modglin of La Porte. Guests of the association were Lieutenant Governor Frederick F. Houser and State Senator A. H. Tickle, of Monterey. The ‘lieutenant governor addressed the association briefly on the need of reducing taxes. He said that there is now a surplus of $90,000,000 in -the state treasury and by July 1, 1944 it will! have grown to $228,000,000. He de-. their lunch there and return for the clared that with such a sum in cash, on hand, the legilature and for groups of citizens to endeavor to appropriate the money for purposes that can very well wait until the war is over. Senator Tickle gave a graphic description on his mining experiences in Alaska between 1902 and 1905 and addressed the association as “fellow miners.’’ Guerdon Ellis, supervisor. of the Tahoe National Forest, spoke briefly on the cooperative spirit that exists in the relations of jthe California Hydraulic Mining Association and the Forest service. He mentioned several instances in which the association had helped in obtaining funds for fire DEOTeme On: He said: “Two years ago. we were granted funds with which to stamp out fires that saboteurs might set. The association’ gave us great aid in obtaining this fund. I think sabotage is an’ ever present menace. I think’ we should be prepared for the worst even if it doesn’t happen. I' watt to call your attention to the fact that the only enemy bomb dropped on the United States came from Jap plane that took off from a submarmarine and dropped its bomb in an Oregon forest.’’ Fred H. Harvey reported on the progress in the legslature on three bills in which the association is interested: These are: a bill defining pollution of streams, a ‘bill creating a state mining department divorced to do some hard, straightforward thinking. We do not doubt, and we firmly believe something should be done for oppressed races around the globe. But most of us would prefer that we be led in this endeavor by someone with a practical knowledge of how to accomplish it. 5 This is the most interesting era the human race thas ever experienced. It is interesting because it is the most perilous era in the world’s history for all children of the earth. Sometimes we see dimly that our greatest peril is not across the seas, but right here at home, and that it is due-to our poor choice of leadership. it is a great temptation for) noon. ‘the nutrition committee of the UniAmerican Bombers Attack Rennes RENNES, FRANCE — Smoke still rises Rion ‘the marshalling yards at Rennes U-boat supply center fully two hours after American heavy bombers made their daylight attack last month.

The Mother Lode Mining Association oppose it, and other mining organizations are against it. He thought some compromise measure might be adopied, however, as a step if the right direction.

Speaking at a conference on wartime food problems recently held by versity War Council, Dr. Wellman reviewed factors which will determine the nation’s food production for 1943. . “It seems to me that on the average we prabably cannot eat as well as we did in years past,’’ he declared. “But I suspect that what we used to call ‘‘the lower third’’ will probably eat better, certainly better than they did during depresion years, as they now have more money to spend for food. The curtailment will probably hit those in the higher brackets who have been accustomed to eating well.” . The outlook for the food situation is more encouraging than some are inclined to believe the s,tated’ Last year the country’s per capita consumption was the largest on record, being ten per cent above the 19351939 level, despite wartime conditions of lend lease demands, curtailed imports, etc. At the same time production was thirty “five per cent above the 1935-1939 mark. ‘Factors determining production for the coming year. Dr. Wellman indicated, will be resources made available to agriculure, including land, labor, materials and transportation facilities; .the efficiency with which these are used, and weather conditions. The most important fac tor will be the one least controllable —the weather. : . note were the MRS.KJORLIETO.

Cassidy, Chairman. “The United States Treasury must raise $13 billion during the Second War Loan, and a substantial part of this money must be loaned to our government by the people in ordinary walks of life—you and me and ithe fellow next door,’ Mr. declared. It is obvious to every thinking man and woman that as the Uniied Nations takes the offensive against the Axis dictators, the cost of war. operations increase in proportion. “The staggering sums of money necessary for the victory drive of the American and other allied armies and navies—the task and the cost of providing food, transportation and muni-! tions for millions of men, over and above the cost of equipment in planes, guns, tanks, ships and other material—must be borne, in large measure, by the American people left here at home. “Tt is not only necessary and right that we should assume this additional participation in the war effort—— it is an honor to do so. We who are left here on the home front can do no less than attempt to approach the sacrifices of those brave men out on the fighting fronts to whom the last great measure of sacrifice is, but a daily offering. They give their lives. We lend our money. “Wihile it is true—and this to the everlasting credit of the American people—that there are more people today who can own government securities than at any time in the history of the nation—or the history of the world—the simple facts of the matter are, it is not enough. “Tf the people of Nevada City and every county and town in the nation, are to meet their full measure of responsibility, they must loan their government every cent not needed for the essentials of living—and we have fo revise downward our ideas about what are essentials. In other words, you, and you and I must go on an all out war ‘basis. “There are at the present time many billions in liquid funds—-cash . and commercial band deposits, in the hands of the American people over and above taxes, debt repayment, insurance, and their present investment in government bonds—over and above what they can buy this year because of the restrictions or unavailability of consumer goods. This may amount to as much as $40 billion this year. “Tt should be the objective of Cassidy}. Buy More War Bonds Today every American to invest these ‘loose’ billions in government securities. Now, during the Second War Loan, is the time to invest liquid funds from both current income and from past accumulations in our govermTent. This Second War Loan makes available to you a type of security for every pocketbook. “This is not only a patriotic duty, but a duty to yourself as well. Every dollar which you have available tow and do not invest in government securities is a ‘wild’ dollar which may, together with its billions of brothers, turn into.a Frankenstein which will raise your cost of living to the point where your dollar will be worth no more than the paper it is written on. In short, this loose money is likely to be the cause of a wild inflation that will sweep away your savings and send the price of a loaf of bread beyond what you now make in a year. It can’t happen? It did in Germany! And that could happen here. “On the other hand, the dollar loaned to your government will work for you in three ways: (1) it will help hold down inflation because it will be harnessed to war work; (2) it will help buy the food, the transportation, the .munitions that our boys out there in the front lines need to win the good fight, and (3) it will be earning interest that, together with your original loan, will come back to you later to help you buy the things you can’t buy today—to insure your piece of the future. “So let’s not quibble about it: Let’s not shilly shally and debate. Let’s dig down into our pockets: let’s root those dollars out of the dark today and invest them in this Second War Loan. Remember those boys out there. They give their lives —you lend your money.”’ LARGE CROWD ENJOYS HIGH SCHOOL COMEDY.

Cassidy, Chairman. “The United States Treasury must raise $13 billion during the Second War Loan, and a substantial part of this money must be loaned to our government by the people in ordinary walks of life—you and me and ithe fellow next door,’ Mr. declared. It is obvious to every thinking man and woman that as the Uniied Nations takes the offensive against the Axis dictators, the cost of war. operations increase in proportion. “The staggering sums of money necessary for the victory drive of the American and other allied armies and navies—the task and the cost of providing food, transportation and muni-! tions for millions of men, over and above the cost of equipment in planes, guns, tanks, ships and other material—must be borne, in large measure, by the American people left here at home. “Tt is not only necessary and right that we should assume this additional participation in the war effort—— it is an honor to do so. We who are left here on the home front can do no less than attempt to approach the sacrifices of those brave men out on the fighting fronts to whom the last great measure of sacrifice is, but a daily offering. They give their lives. We lend our money. “Wihile it is true—and this to the everlasting credit of the American people—that there are more people today who can own government securities than at any time in the history of the nation—or the history of the world—the simple facts of the matter are, it is not enough. “Tf the people of Nevada City and every county and town in the nation, are to meet their full measure of responsibility, they must loan their government every cent not needed for the essentials of living—and we have fo revise downward our ideas about what are essentials. In other words, you, and you and I must go on an all out war ‘basis. “There are at the present time many billions in liquid funds—-cash . and commercial band deposits, in the hands of the American people over and above taxes, debt repayment, insurance, and their present investment in government bonds—over and above what they can buy this year because of the restrictions or unavailability of consumer goods. This may amount to as much as $40 billion this year. “Tt should be the objective of Cassidy}. Buy More War Bonds Today every American to invest these ‘loose’ billions in government securities. Now, during the Second War Loan, is the time to invest liquid funds from both current income and from past accumulations in our govermTent. This Second War Loan makes available to you a type of security for every pocketbook. “This is not only a patriotic duty, but a duty to yourself as well. Every dollar which you have available tow and do not invest in government securities is a ‘wild’ dollar which may, together with its billions of brothers, turn into.a Frankenstein which will raise your cost of living to the point where your dollar will be worth no more than the paper it is written on. In short, this loose money is likely to be the cause of a wild inflation that will sweep away your savings and send the price of a loaf of bread beyond what you now make in a year. It can’t happen? It did in Germany! And that could happen here. “On the other hand, the dollar loaned to your government will work for you in three ways: (1) it will help hold down inflation because it will be harnessed to war work; (2) it will help buy the food, the transportation, the .munitions that our boys out there in the front lines need to win the good fight, and (3) it will be earning interest that, together with your original loan, will come back to you later to help you buy the things you can’t buy today—to insure your piece of the future. “So let’s not quibble about it: Let’s not shilly shally and debate. Let’s dig down into our pockets: let’s root those dollars out of the dark today and invest them in this Second War Loan. Remember those boys out there. They give their lives —you lend your money.”’ LARGE CROWD ENJOYS HIGH SCHOOL COMEDY.
