He said, in part: j “While all over the world men are being shot to pieces, other men—the steel, the aluminum, the textile workers—are guibbling about dollars, and Washington jis still activated by politicians. Where is that common sense of which we Americans once were so proud? So they want a raise because the cost of living has risen; but isn’t it evident to even the most selfish that any increase in consumer purchasing power must necessarily add still more to the cost of living? “Or maybe the true fact—is that-everyone is out to get whatever he can from this unprecedented opportunity. With the aspects of inflation clearly in view, our selfish, bigoted ‘patriots’ are willing to risk chaos and defeat—yes, defeat— because they won't believe there is a war in ‘progress that might engulf them. ‘Those boys who are about to die, those who may be maimed, those who may live a lingering death with tropical disease. they ask so little. They will die so that you may have pretty homes and happy families, but don’t let them lose faith. ‘And, ‘little steel’ asks for an increase in wages! Is is asking too much.of civilians to give up a little of their comfort ‘ so that some one else might win security for them? The president speaks of more and more sacrifices. Sacrifices—hell! Is it a sacrifice to defend one’s self against impending disaster? Dad, tell them I want to believe in my country but find it in creasingly difficult to believe in its people. But who will listen? Who is interested in mere words when big money can be made—and the boys are dying in the Pacific?”’ The soldier’s dad showed. the letter to fellow plant workers in Allentown, Pennsylvania—which is how. it made the news: and those workers promptly went over the top in bond purchases and were awarded the Treasury's flag. The letter is written in youthful heat—but it might be well if it could be read in every plant, office, school and home. TOURISTS FROM THE ARGENTINE : A peace time aftermath of the building of the great jintercontinental highway, which will connect Alaska and the Argentine Republic in an unbroken link 14,800 miles long, will be a speedy resurgence of the California tourist trade to a size and prosperity never approached in the best of past years. Under forced construction now, as a war measure, are the hitherto “missing links’; the Alaska-U. S. highway, far advanced; the Pan American highway in southern Mexico, between Oaxaca and the Guatemalan border; a pioneer highway through Central America; the linking of Panama and Colombia by ferry, to skirt the jungles south of the Panama Canal. All of the projects will be open to Army traffic before the end of 1943, and will immensely strengthen military cooperation of North, Central and South America throughout the war. But when the war is done, the great highway will remain to invite and serve visitors from both continents.“Our-career as an international host has hardly begun,” declared Edmond A. Rieder, veteran hotel man and manager of the Palace in San Francisco, in a talk to travel agency executives last week. “In time to come California will no longer look mainly to the east for custom. We will elcchat a cites visitors from Chile, Paraguay and Argentina as from Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Alabama.” oe Unquestionably California, with a sunny climate homelike to*“South Americans, and with Spanish names, missions and traditions, will be a major U. S. from the many lands south of the border. Our hospitaiity will serve greatly in promoting and cementing the growing spirit of cordial good-will among all the neighbor nations of the Western Hemisphere. . eee JUST WONDERIN’ . ] wonder how the world will seem When war’s grim games are over, And all is peace and quietude as From Mandalay to Dover. :° Will all the lessons have been learned Which these dark days have taught, Or shall we follow as of old The paths with peril,fraught? : I wonder what would happen if this global war were to come to a sudden end. Would the men and women of today be ready to take up the tasks of peace and begin rebuilding a world that has been torn and shattered by years of deadly conflict? The material rebuilding will find many capable of working for its accomplishment. Wreckage and debris are easily cleared away and the rearing of new homes, places of business will give occupation to those whose war work is at an end, but the building of lasting peace upon a solid foundation of unselfishness, justice and liberty is a far nobler and an exceedingly more difficult labor—a herculean labor indeed, but one that must be intelligently performed if the future is to be secured and world peace maintained. It is not too soon to begin considering plans and specifications for the peace that is to come. If we take the item of hum: an nature into account, we almost doubt that the creation of harmony among nations is possible; but the collossal stupidties of the past, must come to an end some time and present ay generations must find a way. to that tomorrow for which e world has long waited. It is said that savants of the Chin; democracy are already engaged in formulating plans for * ‘lin the space indicated.» attraction for. visitors . factories and} ee ee eS ee Car Collides With Steer on Colfax Road Gordon Schiffner driving to Colfax late Monday . night was abruptly halted in the Colfax road near Peardale when a youne steer leaped out of the roadside ditch directly in the patch of his car. Schiffner was unhurt but the steer suffered a broken leg and the car got a broken headlight and bent fender. Highway patrolman Carl Kitts was ealled, shot the steer cut its throat with his hunting knife and called in a Grass Valley butcher to save the carcass. He is now looking for the owner of Just One Right Spot for Ration Sticker SAICRAMENTO, Nov. 26.—(UP)— Be careful where you put that gasoline rattoning sticker on your windshield! Chief E. R. Cato of the highway patrol warned motor vehicle owners that the stickers may be displayed only within a seven inch square on the lower right hand corner of the windshield. Section 676 of the motor vehicle code prohibits the posting of signs. ecards or stickers on > windshields, side wings or side or rear windows, except within a seven inch square “in . ino steer the lower corner farthest removed from the driver’s position. Mrs. Leland Smith. has received Highway patrolmen will request motorists to display the sticker only word her sister, Mrs. C. W. Fairchild, of Sacramento, was able to return home from Stanford Hospital in San Francisco where she underwent an operation recently. Mrs. Fairchild has visited in this city on numerous occasions and is well known here. Captain George A. Nihell left Monday for Napa to spend Thanksgiving holidays with relatives and friends.the’ future unifying of the nations and we hope that the great mind of America will join in the profound study of ways and means to the desired end. Peace may be years away, it may be near at hand, in either contingency it is something for which the peoples of the earth must prepare and in each individua! heart, there is something which will either help or hinder the work which will some day, confront a world at peace. I wonder if there is anyone who can tell us the cost of a4 filibuster. Of course the able senators who invoked that ancient stupidity are wasting time and money, also dignity and the printed word. Perhans we should not count the printed word, for an old almanac has lost its potency, but we wonder why an almanac. Why not Mother Goose, A Child’s Garden of verse, or the Jungle Book? They at least would be entertaining. EE The filibuster is.a tool that should be placed forever in the discard. The men who wield it confess by so doing that they have no convincing and logical arguments with which sunport their contentions. They might, in an emergency, b: able to “‘put up his dukes,’’ but they are quite unable to put «na mind. Wouldn't it be well to wrap our filibustering ‘sefators in soft flannel blankets, supply them with all day suckers and send them home in baby carriages? Seriously, the entire po!l tax controversy brings’ strangely inconoruous conditions to light. The fact that citizens of the United States, blacks and whites alike, are being denied their right to vote—vwell, if . were a senator from a_ state where such conditions prevailed, . would feel ashamed to read anything in public, even the Bill of Rights. Uncle Silas says: ‘“That great African general of Hitler’: is an invincible runner; . wonder what the forsaken Italians thought when they saw him whizzing by.”” —— A. Merriam Conner. coe ” : (Miss Mildred Tobiassen, daughter of Sheriff and Mrs. Carl Tobiassen, left Monday for San Francisco to enter Stanford Hospital for treatment for illness she sufféred some time ago.
