matter of the second class in the postoffive a°
near future may be exaggerated in official minds.
Right now. 40 per cent of the nation’s production is go“ ing for war. A few months hence. the war percentage will-rise
to 60. Yet. it might be reasoned, if people’can still buy a maiority of the things they could buy a year ago—radios, electric
shavers and clocks, for example—are matters sure to grow so
tough if civilian goods production is:cut another 20 per cent?
Matters will be tough—and how! The deceiving circumstance is that Americans have been buying luxuries from national shelves that were filled to overflowing back in 1941
and the very early manths of this year. Those shelves are running low. They aren't being replenished today — and when
they become bare next year, the traditional standard of living
will hit the toboggan. If the washing machine breaks down
then, the housewife will have but one recourse,
wash-board—if she has a wash-board! The facts are inexor.
able!
Yet nsychological preparedness for the change isn’t the
essertial thing. after all. Protection of the basic standard for
all American living—the standard of life as a free, sovereign
community of 130,000,000 men, women and children under
the Stars and Stripes—is all that is highly important now. To
safeguard that standard for living, the American people will
stand the gaff of privation, however tough. Everything sacrificed for victory may be rebuilt and regained after the war.
Meanwhile—let the gadgets go!

ONE YEAR OF WAR
On Monday of next week will fall the first anniversary of
a black day in American history—the attack on Pearl Harbor,
On Tuesday, the United States will have been, officially at
war one year.“on, in many respects. Thousands of deaths, men lost as prisoners, anxieties, griefs, military reverses, civilian sacrifices—all are inevitable in every year of every war. And victory
seems far ahead at this time.
A comparison of America’s position now, however, with
her position at the end of the first year of the World War,
shows that we are vastly better off now than we were then.
At the: year’s end, in 1918, Russia had collapsed, Germany had concentrated all forces in the west, the tremendous
_ Battle of the Somme, with Europe's fate in the balance. was
‘raging. Now, Germany has failed to escape the fate of fighting
on two fronts. Russia has not failed.
In 1918 American artillery units were obliged to borrow
artillery from the French—so inadequate was our own production! Now. America is not only fully supplying her own
new army with the best weapons of every type, but is producing and delivering vast armaments to her allies.
America has far more troops under arms than in April.
1918—and they are better trained, more thoroughly seasoned. Hundreds of thousands of them have been in _ trainine
longer than the entire period of our participation in the first
World War.
* Then,.in our inexperience and experimental haste, we
built planes unfit to fly—built ships, in hundreds of instances,
‘so. unseaworthy that they never left port, and rotted in harbors
until sold for junk. . Now, because industrial. and military
brains profited by the lessons of '17-'18, America has built
soundly as well as swiftly, and is on the way to creation, in the
next year, of the finest fighting force in history, backed by a
mighty industrial force of machines and workers.
What this;nation has accomplished in one year of war is
_ cause for confidence that America shall deyelop power to
~ achieve final victory. '
THE PRISONER’S SONG
An official of the Government Requirements Division of
the War Production Board visited San Quentin prison re‘mates stood straight and proud—for the first time ‘since they
had entered prison—while a representative of the United
States government looked upon the work of their hands and
machines and found it good. .
. When men of San Quentin were first asked by the warif any wished to volunteer for special work within the
walls for the war effort, more men than could be used stepped
forward. ~
Today more than 60 per cent of the 4600 men on parole
in California are aiding in the war through service in the
Army, war industry, the merchnt marine, agriculture
construction. a
. The material contribution of these men, with the manywer shortage acute, is considerable. Also of great worth, to
nselves and to society, is the spiritual lift it must give them

ings common to all men. It by no means follows that because
a man has violated the laws of his country that he would riot
willingly work or dje to defend it. It is good that a man may
do service to the cause of his country’s freedom while he does
penance to regain his own. ‘“The Star Spangled Banner’’ is the

Service. It is the kindest, most sincere way to’show you care.
Furloughs for the holidays have been restricted. Return
to home will have to wait until Victory and Peace have
been attained. There is a boy who will miss Christmas at
Aunt Martha's up on the coast of Maine. There is a boy
with a southern drawl who will miss-old Liza’s cooking.
There is a ranch boy from Wyoming who will miss his
Sis, home from college for the brief vacation. There are
thousands of boys such as these—away from home, each
one eager to meet home folks, talk to someone who reminds him of Dad or Mother or Uncle Hal or Aunt Cassie.
And without fussing he'd like to be “one of the family”
