WAR IS PROFITLESS—OR SHOULD BE. re
It is not given to us to understand all the factors which brought
us from a world power, check-mating Fascism in World War II, to
a punty ten-division nation faced with bulge-muscled Communism
in 1950. j is
. None of us knows if better leadership, more acutely aware of
the check-and-balance history of world order, could have remained
on the crest of power to offset rival power from 1945 to 1950.
None of us can tell if the signs of trouble in Korea dating back to
1946 and the signs of trouble in Berlin dating back to 1946 should
not have meant more to clear-eyed statesmen than it has meant
to practical politicians bent on staying in office.
In fact few of us can claim much more foresight individually
than has been dsplayed nationally. Certainly a portion of the
grave error of the past half-decade has been of our making, from
the momma-vote which got Johnnie home by Christmas (1945)
without providing for Junior to replace him in uniform, to the. business-as-usual ote and the labor vote which had to be coddled
for domestic political advantage~, oe J
Cause being lost to our ken, and effect being heaped upon us
with such weight that we are faced with a second phase of World
War II no better. prepared than in 1941, all that is left to us is the
carrying out of orders of military command or bureau policy.
But, though hind-sight is often scorned, we can expect that by
an examination of the mistakes made in running a nation under
one emergency government, our leaders can avoid the same mistakes in operation of another emergency situation approaching
martial rule.
Although our president sometimes seems to ‘be a small-bore
Nero-at-the-piano, we ‘can hope that he and his advisors have examined the period 1939 to 1945 with critical-inspection of the value
of the cost-plus contract, profiteering, overtime-on-overtime, featherbedding and duplication onthe job, tle disgrace of black market
operations and other companions of a wartime ecenomy which
make a mockery of patriotism and sacrifice in the field.
Naturally labor and capital need incentive to produce; the dogface in the mud and snow gets his incentive from fear of losing
his life if he fails. :
Naturally the overtime-on-overtime buttering of palms gets
the planes built; the boys who fly them aren’t in a position to say
“my contract calls just for flying the aireplane; you'll have’ to get
e man from another union to fire the guns and another man to
drop the bombs.”
Naturally the cost-plus ‘contract is a plum worth the while of
ship builders to secure; the crew that takes that ship through a
mine field knows only one profit: to stay alive and thus protect
your life.
Naturally a black-market operator will rise from the muck to
take advantage of short-sighted consumers; the kid making a beach
head landing may cost the government $15,000, which will shoot
even higher if grab and greed blow the inflationary balloon fatter
and fatter.
We have a rigid law for drafting men to do our fighting for us.
We pay them a fixed amount for their services, which is putting a
price tag on their lives. We tell them where they will. go, against
what superior force they will fight, what weapons we will give
them—and we don’t allow them the privilege of democratic decision if they think the orders are wrong. :
We have a draft law for war because voluntary enlistments just
-won’t do the job. We lay down military law fore the operation
of an army because under wartime conditions the luxury of taking
a vote is absurd. é
Profits and wages should be as severely drafted; contracts and
union regulations contrary to the best interest of preserving a nation should be as expendable. ‘
For the reason that today anesarmy is not an entity separate
from the national government we will remain free or slave upon
the ability of that army successfully to withstand Communism.
We cannot ask of soldiers that they display patriotism while dying
and at the same time make millionaires of manufacturers and provide Cadillac-wages for cotton pickers turned welders.
The national poverty of hard-headed leadership to retain the
advantages gained for us at the end of World War II must not be
allowed to provide again a division of effort in which one portion
of our people fight and die for freedom while another portion of
our people grab and connive for exorbitant personal gain.
If a national emergency is cause enough to get our boys prepared to die, it is cause enough to crack down with full force upon
those who would use our dire plight as a lever to extract usurious
percentages from the nation’s war-bank.
And if the president and his advisors are not aiming straight
and true at the target of national salvation and preservation of the
freedoms and liberties of enlightened mankind, while at the same
iteering in all its ugly forms, then we must act through our congressiona) representatives to bring an end to sloppy and expedient
management of a nation in grave peril.For the United States of America is not only our land and our
government, it is our life. We must grow strong and we must aim
straight to keep a ruthless enemy in check. There is no moment
in this threatening time for waste and greed and self seeking.
And there is no place for soft headedness or profits as usual, .
politics as usual. >
We cannot fail, even by degree.—scissored from the Placerville
Mountain Democrat.

The Senate passed and sent. to
the White House a bill by Congressman Clair Engle to reimburse 15 states for an accumulated 26-year shortage in their
share of forest ervice grazing
fees.
If the bill is signed ipto law it
is estimated the states will receive $1,351,149 of which California’s share is approximately
$127,000.
Engle said that due to an erroneous ruling of a department
of agriculture solicitor, the forest
service has not been diverting the
full 25 percent of grazing fees, as
required by law, for the benefit

for he shall not speak of himself;
but whatsoever he shall hear,
that shall he speak: and he will
shew you things to come (16:13).
The citations comprising -the
sermon will include the following:
The Bible: Therefore thus saith
the Lord God, Behold, I lay in
Zion for a foundation a stone, a
tried stone, a precious corner
stone, a sure foundation: he that
believeth shall not make haste.
Judgment also will I lay to the
line, and righteousness to the
plummet: and the _ hail shall
sweep away the refuge of lies,
and the waters shall overflow the
hiding place (Isaiah 28:16, 17).
Science and Health With Key
to the Scriptures by Mary Baker
Eddy: Christianity will never be
based on a divine principle and
so found to be unerring, until its
absolute science is reached. When
this is accomplished, neither
pride, : prejudice, bigotry, nor
envy can wash away its foundation, for it is built upon the rock,
Christ (p. 483).
