A RESOLUTION (Adopted by the Gustine Chamber of Mommerce at its meeting of Tuesday evening, April 14, 1942) WHEREAS: The United States and its allies ed in desperate war, a war waged against them ‘by treacherous and highly efficient enemy whose avowed pur pose is to destroy all those things by which and through which we have attained the highest degree of freedom. prosperity and hapviness ever*before*known to mankind. and WHEREAS: More and i Laine pusecoAplasnwusigeua nen $35.00 . ee eos wed wn dd animals foes eO., Cents are invol va ruthless more evidence is accumulating every day in support of the fact that there are among ws, in the ranks of professions, of industry, of agriculture’ and of labor, subservient individuals and organized grouns who seek by every known artifice and subterfuge, to undermine our morale, to retard production of essential war materials and to sabotage our factories, our storehouses and our graneries; all this in harmony with cleverly inspired enemy propaganda, and i WHEREAS: There is increasing evidence of reluctance on the part of some of our legislators to institute effective legislative measures to curb and punish such individuals and groups. Therefore, be it RESOLVED—By the Gustine Chamber that we urge our legislators, local, county, state to encourage by initiative and support, any and all measures designed to curb further subversive activities by ‘5th Columnists. regardless of the quise or pretense under which they may be found posing. And be it further RESOLVED—That we remind our legislators that we deem it their indispefisable and imperative duty, in this time of grave stress, to relegate partisan politics to the background and_to exert their every effort to a speedy and successful victory by our armed and diplomatic forces and that we shall hold them to a strict accountability for their contribution to this end. of Commerce SUGAR FOR CANNING President Ray B. Wiser of the California Farm Bureau federation makes a point that merits serious consideration by the federal OPA, when he terms “ridiculous” the annual al” lowance of only five pounds of sugar per person for home canning. Wiser’s concern over this matter is obvious and two-fold. First, his organization represents most of the rural housewives in the state, and these farm women, it may be assumed, do a lot more canning than their contemporaries in the city. And second, the restrictions on home canning may mean as Wiser points out, that many fresh fruits that otherwise might be tucked away on pantry shelves will go to wa&ste. He says that consumer demand for strawberries alreadv has suffered seriously as a result of the OPA’s five pound limit on sugar for canning. Wiser makes the additional point that that might derive from the “‘victory garden’’. campaign will be lost, if Besp aa88 are not able to ‘‘put up” the fruits, the berries and vegetables grown in their backyard gardens. All of these points, it seems to us, are valid enough to deserve serious study by the rationing administration. If it is decided, after such a study is made, that there is absolutely no way to provide more sugar for home canning without causing undue suffering somewhere else, all right. We'll just have to accept it as a necessary sacrifice. But we've a hunch that a way might be found under the rationing program to permit energetic housewives to do their part to win the war by can-. ning perishable foods, instead of wasting them. SABOTEURS BALKED . Visiting briefly in San Francisco, FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover gave out a most welcome report that not one case of sabotage has been committed by an enemy agent in the United States since war began. There have been some 198 sabotage cases—far below the record of the last war—but in each case those responsible -were-disgruntled employees or Axis sympathizers acting on their own initiative, Hoover said. This is a remarkable record in view of the obvious fact that Hitler’s and Hiroito’s agents are much better organized and trained for their fifth column work than were the German agents of the last war, and the credit goes not only to the FBI itself but to all the co-operating law enforcement agencies and to the fact that the whole nation has been on its guard against the fifth column menace. The resultant feeling of security is heightened, especially on the west coast, by the efficient evacuating of Japanese from strategic areas. The, fact that this has been virtually completed without being interrupted by outbreaks of fifth column work, furthermore, should do much to allay the last remnants of public hysteria which existed shortly after ‘December 7. Despite these hopeful signs, however, there is no call for complacency, because both the fifth column menace and the danger that it may give rise to mob violence will continue to exist until the end of the war. Rather, the situation calls, first, for continued and even increased public. vigilance, without vigilantism, from here on out; and, second, for commemdation of the smoothly cooper‘ating team of local, state and federal law enforcement agents for a job well done to date. .

State Controller Harry B.,Riley an;nounced today that California’s general fund bulged with a cash excess of $21,444,713 on April 30, placing the state in the best financial condition in ten years. Riley said the state is $80,000,000 better off today than a year when the general fund sagged under a deficiency of nearly $60,000,000. Reporting that the cash on hand increased $15,716,000 during April, Controller Riley. warned that continued improvement cannot be expected at that rate. “We are riding the crest of a wave which may sweep upward for several months to come or may break at any time,’ Riley said. Revenue in the ten month period up to April 30 totaled $208.680,530 an increase of $44,798,967 or 27 per ‘cent over that of the like period last vear. Expenditures amounted to $129,4459597 a decrease of $14,007,941 or nearly 10 per. cent. Greatest item of increased revenue useful 434:564 in the ten month period, an increase of 37 per cent. Elimimation of unemployment relief by the state resulted in a saving of $21,853,903.
