Armistice Day
The meaning of Armistice Day is changed this year—
changed tragically and sadly. We have become accustomed to
celebrating November . I:"as a Day of Peace, a day of rejoicing that war is past and peacc ahead. _But this year the day
must ‘seem exactly what the term implies —— a day of armistice, which means not peace but armed truce. Armistice Day,
1940, finds us rearming to the teeth, so that the armed dictators who frankly hate democracy will be compelled to keep
the bloodless armed truce through fear of us, if. not sincere
peace through friendship. Some day we may celebrate November 11 joyfully again, as the day symbolic of world peace. This
year, it must be just—a day of armistice.—Contributed.
Prosperity Is In The Air .
sp
Prosperity looms in the air over California—prosperity
that will come when the aviation industry reaches adult
stature as an enormous consumer of American materials, products, brains and labor, and as an incalculable creator of new
national wealth.
Right now, at a Santa Monica factory, finishing touches
are being rushed on the world’s biggest airplane—the B-19
Army bomber: Its wing span is 212 feet —60 feet greater
than the trans-Pacific clippers’; its fuselage is 135 feet—29
feet longer than the clippers’. long enough to house three railway box cars! Its weight, fully loaded, will be 164,000 pounds,
—almost double a clipper’s 84,000 pounds! The B-19 is as
tall as a three story building, and contains three million rivets
and 10 miles of electric wiring! It could cross the Atlantic,
drop 28 tons of bombs and return without landing or refueling! It can transport . 25 soldiers! Five hundred engineers and
workmen have labored four years to build it, working from
four acres of blueprints!
When such gigantic engineering enterprises are possible
while the aircraft industry is in its infancy—before mass production methods have been developed, before youngsters
learn to fly family planes as they now learn to drive family
cars—the future probabilities dwarf superlatives. . The de-mands of war speed development of aeronautic technique—
development at whatever cost. But the commercial and pleasuse needs of the peacetime world to come may give the U. S.
A. the vast new industry which many economists say she
must have to pull out of the debts of the depression and the
debts of rearmament.
Already the climate that gave California the movie industry has made her the pioneering center of American plane
manufacture and research. And when the) limitless aviation
industry attains full flight, its wings of prosperity will fill the
sunny air of California —Contributed.
: Death and Taxes
While rescuers were digging through tons of debris to
save the living and bring forth the dead among 200 persons
trapped in the basement bomb shelter of a great London department store one day last week, women in other parts of
the store were crowding the counters to buy perfumery and
cosmetics—before drastic new sales taxes went into effect.
Death and taxes—the only two certainties, side by side.’
The will to peace backed by defensive might save Americans from so horrible a form of death; but crushing taxes
such as those that clutched at the purses of the women shoppers must be the portion of all Americans, inevitably and
soon. We have been concerned over a federal. public debt
crowding the fifty billion dollar mark. But the defense pro“~gram will, estimates the United States chamber of commerce,
cost another fifty billion—will double that debt to one hundred billion. Furthermore, maintenance of the military establishment, after rearament has been effected. will cost between
seven billon and ten billion dollars annually, whereas _ total
federal revenues for this year will slightly exceed five billion
dollars.
Taxes such as SRS: have never known are ahead
of every single citizen to bear those staggering costs. All sincere Americans will pay them willingly—since only an America bristling with defense armament may escape the vaster
costs of actual war and the frightfulness of war's wholesale
~ death by violence—but all sincere Americans will also resolve that tax-eating governmental extravagances cease com_ pletely. Taxpayers will be in no mood, from now on, to countenance graft, waste or incompetency in governmental use of
public money ar public credit—whether by city, county, state
or national agencies. The way of the taxpayer will be hard
enough at best, for a long, long time to come. And as he prepares to shoulder the greyidus load of justifiable taxation for
national security, he cae the death of boondoggling—
everywhere and in of its forms.—Contributed.

PROCLAMATION
This year the annual American
Red Cross Roll Call will be held
from November 11th to oe
30th.
The need of funds for this nail
worthy organization is greater this;
year than at any time since the last ;
world war. In view of the expanding
domestic program of the Red Cross
national organization its 3,721 chap.
ters and 6,585 branches, and the increasing necessity of furnishing aid
to the expanding mlitary forces of
this nation it is necessary that the;
American Red Cross be adequately
financed. During this time of American preparedness, I--calluponatl
citizens in the State of California to
give ‘as freely as they can during this
annual American Red Cross’ Roil
Call so that the quota for California
will be over-subscribed.
The funds subscribed during this
drive will be used entirely for domestic purposes and will be kept entirely separate from funds prevously ear-marked for war relief overseas,
Now, therefore, in view of these
facts, I, Culbert LL. Olson, Governor
of the State of California, do hereby proclaim the period of November
11th through November 30th, -1940,
as American Red Cross’ Roll Cail
period of the State of California.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and ‘caused the
Great Seal of the State of California to be affixed this first day of
November, nineteen hundred -and
CULBERT L. OLSON,
Governor of California.
