The war with Japan goes on apace and me, yt us realize .
that this conquest will call for all of our resouriés of courage, .
determination and sacrifice. The present war bond drive must
be more than successful in order that the machinery of war
may not be inadequate and that the little demans‘of Japan may
be speedily brought to the point of unconditional surrender.
The security conference, at San Francisco is making definite progress. It has been stated that of seventeen points of
difference between the five big powers, fourteen have at this
been amicably settled. What if the conference lasts another

FLAG DAY
In less momentous times than these, when men’s lives .
are not a stake nor their liberty at issue, the sight of the beloved .
flag of our country stirs our hearts but rarely dims our eyes.
Today, in time of war, when everything we. hold dear is
threatened by a ruthless foe, our hearts swell with pride when
we regard our flag and gratefully consider the blessings of
freedom for which it stands.
In other days we listened a little shamefacedly at our emotions to the patriotic music and oratory of Flag Day, Nobody
will smile at emotion or tears this Flag Day, June 14, For this
is war time, and Old Glory is the freshly meaningful standard
of our liberty. It is the bright banner of a free nation, our nation, welded anew in devotion to liberty and to union—
The union of lakes—the union of lands_~—The union of states none can sever;
‘The union of hearts—the union of hands—
And the flag of our Union forever.—Contributed.
THE (CHILDREN OF LIDICE
Where are the children of Lidice?
Where are the younsters of that pretty little village that
stood in the sun one day, and the next day was gone, ground
to dust under the blasting. funs of German “‘avengers’’ who
took their toll of a whole town for the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, nazi overlord of Bohemia and Morovia.
The nezais razed the villege, killed its men, sent its women to concentration camps and consigned the children to educational institutions. And today the Pragrue radio appeals to
all people of good will and good hearts, to help trace those lost
boys and girls. :
On the basis of facts and photographs which have come
out of Germany concerning treatment of all those considered
unfriendly to the reich and to nazi doctrine, it is unlikely they
will ever be found alive. os
But this we believe: The world may never see again the
tear-stained little hostages that trudged away from their homes that tragic day, terrified at what they had seen and at what
lay head. But the world will never forget the inhuman tyranny
of naziism. The world will remember as long as time the immortal children of Lidice.—Contributed.LAST ONE HUNDRED YEARS

JUST WONDERIN’
I wonder, if: great Hercules
Could walk the earth today,
And gape at this, our modern scene,
What would the old boy say?
Hercules might have been a model of industry in ancient
times, but in reality the old chap had an easy time of it. He
never saw anything in the line of hard work. It is too bad he
can’t come back from his place of rest and see what modern
men and nations are doing today.
The world of today is the scene of one stupendous task
after another and despite the claims of calamity howlers, these
tasks are being accomplished with an encouraging degree of
success. The German monster has been subdued and the nation that delights to follow the god of war, is being put in a
staight jacket. The big four in authority at Berlin are taking
up the responsibilities of government and assuring law and
order and of retraining, if possible the denuatured minds of
those found worthy of especial attention. War criminals are
being punished, not so rapidly as some of us would desire, but
isfactory numbers as dys go by.

WASHINGTON
NOTES
By Congressman Clair Engle
WASHINGTON, June 11—Veterans Investigation—The current investigation of the veterans’ hospitals
and the veterans administration generally is a matter of vital concern in
almost every home in America because nearly every home has someone in the service or some near relative in the service who may be using, now or in the future, veterans
hospitals. The articles which appeared in March and April issues of the
(Cosmopolitan magazine one of which
was reprinted in the Readers Digest,
ave caused a good deal of comment
throughout the nation. The committee on world war veterans legislation, of Which I am a member, is
conducting the investigation and
heard the testimony of Albert Maisel
the author of these articles. Maisel
was~able to dorument and support a
part of the rontents of these articles.
Some of his generalizations ‘were
found to be entirely too broad and
some of his statements not founded
on fart. Generally speaking the in-j
vestigation to date reveals an inedaquate staff at all the hospitals and
in many instances overcrowding
through lack of sufficient facilities.
It has been difficult for the veterans
administration to get adequate help
because of the hidebound civil service requirements and low salaries.
In addition, it appears that there is
too much centralization and restrictino from the top, which prevents
the program in the various hospitals
being as flexible and progressive as
it would be. As to the California veterans hospitals the only one to date
on which I have had any complaint
of of comsequence is Livermore. -I
again invite the veterans of my.district to give me the benefit of any
of their experiences in the veterans
hospitals which would be helpful to
the investigation. The members of
the committee are deeply concernad
in the. matter and want a thorough
investigation and one which will
remedy any of the conditions found
to be unsatisfactory.
Gold Reserve Bill — The house
passed the bill HR 3000 to reduce
the gold reserve behind our. currency
is not a matter as might be supposed, which affects only the gold mining industry and people indirectly
interested in gold mining. Any move
touching the stabilization of our currency is .of: vital concern to every
person living--in this country. If we
aren’t caréful, the people who are
patriotically buying war bonds will
get them payed off in dollars worth
fifty per cent in purchasing power
of what they paid for them. Fed people even in congress know very much
about our, monetary system and leave
thig baffling field which is so vital
to our national economy to the alleged experts. When the bill came on
the floor there were only a half dozen congressmen who expressed very
much concern or took the floor on
the subject. I made a speech in regard to the soundness of gold backing for our currency and the necessity of maintaining at the highest
possible ratio our gold reserve. I offered an amendment to raise the
price of gold to $56 as an alternative
to the bill suggested by the federal:
reserve system. This amendment was
ruled out on a point of order. When
that motion was lost I then moved
to amend the bill to Hmit the reduction of gold reserves to two years
so that-at-the-end of that time the
ratio which has prevailed since 1913:
would automatically be returned. The
motion was lost on a close vote. It is
surprising to What extent people
have lost sight of the importance of
gold in our monetary structure, largely I believe through withdrawing
gold from general circulation. The
statement has been made that it is
riduculoug to take the gold out of
the ground in California and put it
back in the ground in Kentucky. In
other words, a lot of people think
think that gold is of no practical
value so far as our currency structure
is eoncerned. That is a fallacy which
will have to be soon corrected.
Gas for Lamb and Cattle Buyers-—On a general order cutting the gas
allocation to salesmen and buyers of
all types the lamb buyers of California were cut to a total of 2475
miles. for three months. The lamb
buyers got mixed: in with the tie
salesmen and all the others in this
general order. Back here they didn’t
realize that in their. busy season the
lamb ‘buyers travel three or four
thousand miles a month. With the
Meat shortage it is more important
than ever that every encouragement
ibe given to the efficient movement
of live stock from the farm to ‘the
slaughterer houses. A vigorous protest has been made by congressmen
from livestock areas on this subject
and a modification of the order is
