SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (In Advance) One Month VETERANS HOSPITAL EXPOSE The reports by veterans organizations of poor conditions in various veterans hospitals throughout the nation are shot with one significant undercurrent. Bad food, low morale, inefficient operation, overcrowding, inadequate recreation, arrogant administration and medical and surgical lacks are charged in nearly all instances to the handicap of “bureaucratic control, official red tape and regimentation.” To every family of service man or veteran, that they get their discharge papers,’ declared Fred Kraft, is vitally important information. _ There is no lack of money, certainly for the imperative purpose of taking care of our veterans. With the appointment of General Bradley, veteran of this war, as head of the veterans administration, there should be a complete housecleaning and thorough reorganization to assure every boy who risked his life for his country, the finest care available. unhampered by the red tape and regimentation that petty officialdom heaps so heavily on the shoulders of otherwise competent veteran administration administrators and medical men. “Veterans are thouroughly sick of those tactics when San Diego assemblyman, as the legislature adjourned last week. **That is why we refused at this session to ombroil the people in any compulsoy plan of medical insurance. The story would be exactly the same—red tape, politics and regimentation—— when a fellow really needs a competent doctor or a good rest.” If we are not to deal shabbily with our fighting men, conditions in many of the veterans hospitals must certainly be improved. Only high type hospital personnel, relieved of some of the bureaucratic, paper pushing chores that impede the job they really want to do, can help this nation discharge its solemn obligations to its veteran sons.—Contributed. PROGRAM FOR GERMANY There is evidence of bold and objective planning in the ay thau, to prohibit the reindustrialization of Germany. Under the secretary’s proposal, Germany would never again be an industrial nation, but jnstead would be self-sufficient in food, clothing and other requirements to maintain living standards not to exceed those of her European neighbors. Never again would her domestic peace time machinery surrepitiiously weave the fabric of world war. Many questions arise in consideration of such a program, _and they are not simple to onswer. cs From all practical standpoints, just how long would it conceivably be possible to keep Germany on a non-industrial basis? Just how much conviction wil Americans have in the matter 10, 25, 50 years from now? The selfsame generation that fought the Huns in the last war, closed its eyes to the ‘Nazis preparing for this one. Would the Germans, an aggres‘sive people devoted to scientific and mechanical progress, fall into the agrarian pattern without managing to enlist once again the sympathy of the outside world? ‘: ogentrau's surveys show that the German trade destroyed under his plan could well be absorbed by other Europ€an nations. But human nature and men’s ambitions are pretty difficult to regiment for long. Would the rest of the world agree, remain in agrecment and cooperate? Perhaps the non-industrial plan, is the surest, safest means “by which Germany’s future actions could be kept under surveillnce and steered clear of war making, for the welfare of the “world. But certainly troublous times lie ahead in molding the program—and even more difficult times in making it work. —Contributed. ‘ MacARTHUR ON THE MOVE . That intrepid solider, General Douglas MacArthur, who has promised his men that he will lead them down the streets of Tokyo, and who has an unfailing habit of keeping his promises, as the Japs learned in the Philippines, is on the move again, directing the drive of Aussie troops in the invasion of Borneo. With Okinawa lost, the Nips now feel-a further tightening of the military noose around their necks, with MacArthur, their most feared nemesis, pulling on the rope For Borneo, is not only rich in oil, rubber and other vital war resources, but at Brunei and Tarakan, now held by allied forces, MacArthur stands at the geographic center of the enemy held Celebes, Bali, Java, Sumatra, Malaya and Indo-China and the doom of Japanese forces there is sealed once Borneo is lost. Brunei Bay, scene of one of the other landings, is only 800 miles from Singapore and 600 miles from Indo-China and will provide an ideal anchorage for allied naval forces, as well as new air strips within effective range of the Asiatic coast from Singapore to Shanghai. The Japs have again been out-smarted and _ boxed in, with hundreds of thousands of their troops cut off from reinforcements in the East Indies and with the rich resources of the Indies isolated from their military machine. MacArthur is on the move—and the move is aimed at the heart of the Jap empire.—Contributed. American way of lfe—and in defense GOVERNMENT TO of the right of others to live their own lives—more than a milfion of the finest young men of this nation already are battle casualties in this war. PRESSURE ON Those Of us at home, too, are paying a high price, at least in dollars and cents, to defend our way of life from those who would destroy it— higher than most Americans yet recognize. RULE BUSINESS — _ By Ralph H. Taylor Tn defense of our freedom, and the Nation’s School Chi dren Ready To Assume Part in Seventh Drive WASHINGTON, D. C.—The nation’s 30,000,000 school children are again all set to assume as much responsibility as is given them in helping to meet the $7,000,000,000 quota set for sales of War Bonds to individuals in the Seventh War Loan. The demonstrated sales effective-ness of school children was an important factor in the determination of the dates set for this new Drive— May 14th through June 30th. Insistence on the part of. many War Finance Chairmen throughout the country paid-tribute to the vital support that pupils, teachers and school administrators have given previous, Bond Drives. A recent survey reveals that more than 20 million people heard about the Sixth War Loan from _ school children. Over eleven million were directly asked to buy bonds by these boys and girls, a little less than a third of whom were solicited in no other way. The participation of school children ranges from rallies at their “schools to the taking over of actual house-to-house canvassing. In Penns Grove, a small New Jersey town, during the last Drive, E Bond sales were lagging badly. In desperation, the War Finance Committee turned to the students of the town’s: two high schools and one grammar school. ‘‘If the adults won’t do it, it’s up to you,” the County Chairman told them. Accepting the challenge; withina week boys and_ girls had sold $25,000 worth of bonds, andbefore the close of the Drive, Penns Grove’s 6,485 citizens had topped their E Bond quota by $17,000. ‘‘Let’s chuck that worriment about youth taking responsibility into the ash can,’’ said the local weekly newspaper. In Michigan, public schools sold $23,750,560 worth of bonds~in the Sixth War Loan, with Detroit schools contributing almost a third of this figure. One schoo! in the heart of Detroit averaged sales of $233.60 per pupil; another, in a wealthier district, tallied up $349 for each of its 800 students. Through special promotions staged by the schools of the small town of Laconia, New Hampshire, whose pupils manned booths, recorded the Drive’s progress in downtown de‘partment store windows and canvassed all the town’s fourteen districts, E Bond sales amounted, to $341,334 against a quota of $272,300. In the state. of Washington, the 80,000 school children in King County sold 27,763 E Bonds in one day—$1,182,281 worth. And in Kings County, New York, elementary and: secondary —_ school children tallied up $4,137,435 through the sale of 41,253 E Bonds: during the Sixth War Loan. On Pearl Harbor Day in a remote . Virginia county, school pupils canvassed the neighborhood and sold $18,000 worth of Bonds; their total sales for the last Drive amounted to $46,000—eight per cent of which was estimated to be ‘‘new’’ sales. --Preparing fellow townspeople for solicitation by the pupils of Fairmount School, Hackensack, N. J., the principal wrote: ‘“You may feel that we are placing an unusual responsibility on our. children, but they are unusual children, living in unusual times. They are sincere in their belief that the. future of America depends upon our continued support of every man in the line of battle.’ His 4 upils sold bonds worth more than $1,000,000 in the Sixth War Loan. Individually and collectively, we owe more-than we ever will be able io pay n our lfetimes—the colossal sum of 300 billion dollars. And that tremendous federal debt probably will be sharply increased before the victory is finally won. Staggering as that price is—eruel as it is for the million families whose loved ones have been maimed or killed—the really shocking thing is how lightly some of our people seem to value the way of life we have so dearly defended. As a representative of California’s major farm cooperatives, this writer is in constant attendance at sessions of the state legislature—and less frequently is also a congressional observer. In many respects, the experience is disheartening and disillusioning, for all too frequently, in the legislative hearings. the _ strident voices of those who would casually ‘barter the American way of life fo untried foreign importation drown out the voices of those who know what their sons are fighting for and who are determined that neither fascism nor communism shall take root here. In almost every committee hearing dealing with economic problems, there are those who decry, either openly or by indirection, every accomplishment of the Amenican free enterprise system—and who argue for a government-controlled economy. In many instances, they do not even recognize that they are undermining the very liberty their sons are fighting to defend, In some instances however, the attack on the American way of life is calculated and deliberate—and is part of a definite plan to subjugate the individual and centralize all economic and_ political power in government. The result is a constantly mounting pressure for government domination of business, agriculture and industry—and for rigid eontrols over the lives of the people. : The ultimate outcome, if that trend goes unchecked, will be a master state and a servant people=and America will no longer be a land of liberty and opportunity, but will have been conquered just as surety as if nazt and Jap troops had landed here and defeated us in battle. There is a vital, urgent need, both here in California and in the nation at large, for the people at home who have little direct contact with government, to keep a vigilant watch on legislation during the months and years just ahead—and to speak out boldly against any and all attempts at regimenation. This is. particularly important now as many of the war time emergency controls will become permanent controls unless the people are determined in their demand that they be abolished as rapidly as war conditions permit. It is not enough for farmers simply to watch far legislation, or for businessmen merely to oppose legislation aimed at government domination of their own particular enterprises. Every arm of the private enterprise system lopped off by government. encroachment weakens the whole system—and makes the _ remaining structure more vulnerable to political attack. : Nor is it enough for the people to strike out against the more obvious attempts to strip them of their liberties. The real danger lies in legislation which on its face, appears to be in the public interest, and designed to cope with some social or economic problem, but which actually extends Zovernment help only at the expense of individual ._ freedom of action. There is far too great a tendency on the part of many unthinking people these days to seek security through government guarantees—and to trade WANTED—Someone to do weekly laundry for director, nurse and cooks of.
