of Tuesday evening, April 14, 1942)
WHEREAS: The United States and its allies

we have attained the highest degree of freedom. prosperity
and hapviness ever*before*known to mankind. and

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.

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. .

from the field forces during the current California trout season, we present this specimen as an out-of-state, sample:

. 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.

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
