A SOLDIER’S CHALLENGE TO THE HOME FRONT
Indignant at the news he has been reading in papers and
magazines from home, Lee Merson, 26 year old soldier, wrote
his opinion of the home front in a letter to his father. 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

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

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.
