HARRIS HE REXALL DRUG STORE Phone 100 THINKING OUT OUT LOUD — (Continued from Page One) ‘I have long been active in that. we were enmeshed in ‘the coils before fe realized what was happening. Then we were ‘individually burdened with. debts, but now look at what we are collectively burdened with, and in addition we have all these damned bureaus on our backs. Yes, I would prefer a system that allowed me to buy that for which I did not have the money to pay, than a system that forbids me to buy that for which I did have the money to pay. I object to regimentation; object to being ruled by a bunch of fan-tailed theorists who are attacking everything that _has made America great—even the geography, the calendar, the clock, and the unchangeable law of supply and demand. It is easy to rebuild our lost fortunes, but, liberties and human Tighits once taken away are not. ‘easily recaptured. I note you are chairman of the Committee on Agriculture, and as that line, am ‘making observations: “I objected then some and I object ‘now to the slaughtering of some 6,200,000 pigs; hundreds of thousans of brood sows; more than 800,000 dairy eows, not even allowing the hides to be saved because that would lower the price of leather -when at that shoes were so high most people could not afford a new pair. I objected to destroying hundreds of thousands of acres of growing farm preducts, the essentials and necessiites of life. All this with millions. hungry and _ unclothed. Some how I feel that God will punish those who do such foolish things. I protested to our congressman “when two new post offices were time . . . It was extravagant. We have boards, bureaus and commissions to deal with production and we have boards; ‘bureaus and commissions to dealwith surPluses along the same lines. That does not make sense. The real burdensome surplus we have is that of boards, bureaus and commissions, and a sruplus of political gangsters living off the efforts of the producers and the farmers. AI] the farmer asks is a market, and he will find a way to produce. I am getting along well in years and have gone through severel depressions, some of them much worse than this one, but none so deliberately and purposely drawn out. The others got going im a short time. I lost something like a quarter of a million dollars in this depression, but I did not blame the government. If this depression had been~léft alone it would. have corrected itself, as the _ others did. But the New. Deal Party had to call in a bunch of super-economists, guinea pig experimenters and it has been prolonged needlessly. “The Roosevelt New Deal Party will go down in history for just what it is: A rotten, selfish plundering political machine. I' do not believe that any true Democrat ean ge along with the Kelly-Nash‘Mead-Flynn,/Hague outfit —— everyone of them a front r ank New Dealer. “The whole policy of the Roosevelt New Deal Party seems to be to upset everything that is proven. We were wrong yesterday, therefore we are right today, because we are different. If things are scarce we shall make them too plentiful; and if. plentiful we shall high we shall make them too low, and if too low we shall make them too high. “TI have in my possession a’ list of large land owners in Texas who were paid $5,000 and more per make them too scarce. If prices are HERSHEY TELLS OF DWINDLING MANPOWER POOL ed, writes: As ‘we start the fourth calendar year of Selective Service—we face an increasingly difficult task of providing men for the armed forces without. hampering war production or impairing ‘civilian welfare. Even as we draw nearer to’ recruitment of the net strength required’ by our military leaders to assure vicmust meet mounting problems or replacement to offset battle casualties and depletion by accidents, disease, ‘and discharges for various reasons. pands. It would now appear that the calls on the Selective Service System for the period January 1 to July 1, 1944 will average about 250,000 men per month, including those required for replacements. This figure may vary from month to month due to contingencies which cannot now be anticipated. : How shall these numbers of Américan manhood, physically, mentalservice be obtained as they are needed? That is our major problem this year as we near the bottom of the pool. of manpower. ducted’ under’ Selective Service. Where shall the rest be obtained?.. The percentage of Leuis B.

Many of the decjsions you. must make in 1944 therefore, will call for your utmost patience as well as. thoughtfulness. But you must make them —— fairly, dispassionately, and patriotically. Ours is not the authority to say how many men must be called to arms. or of what ages, walks in life, or to fix the physical, mental and. moral standards by which they are finally selected. Ours is the authority only, and the duty, to select from groups liable for military service those individuals who conform to standards fixed by. the armed forces—in the numbers’ they demand, and at the times they specify. Our concern is to meet the demands of the military establishor of what i Richmond ship yards, is enjoying a ifew days vacation in Nevada City, eee te and parents.
