PAGE TWO NEVADA CITY NUGGET em # —— THURSD AY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1940. Nevada City Nugget 305 Broad Street. Phone 36. ul News; aper, as defined by statute. Printed ‘and Published at Nevada City. BS Ge ea BAS ad ba = Editor and PuWisher Published Semi-Weekly, Monday and Thursday 2t Nevada City, California, and entered as mail Does America Want War? : ETRE . : The dedicated nominée of the New Deal for Vice President, Henry. A. Wallace, in‘his acceptance address referred to. the Republican Party as the “Party of Appeasement.” _By this statement he:officially let the cat out of the -bag that the NEW DEAL PARTY. IS THE “WAR PARTY.” This has long-been generally. understood by all those able to view the progress of international events with any degree of realism. ee : Methods ‘‘short of war’; have recently given way to undertakings and treaties with foreign powers, not submitted to the Congress for ratification, that many international legal experts construe as actual acts of war. The Wallace accestance Speech made clear the whole strategem of the New Deal campaign to continue Roosevelt in office fora Third Term.: *; *, This strategem is to‘ DIVERT the attention of the American people away from vital domestic issues, including so grave an issue as the Third’ Term itself, by continually harping upon the menace of Hitler, by creating new emergencies from day to day and by the ridiculous assumption that only the New Deal Dictator is capable of building a strong defense Except among those so blind they will not see THE END OF THIS ROAD IS IN-PLAIN VIEW and the END IS WAR. 2S Sbould the New Deal triumph at the November election it will deliver into the hands of'Mr. Roosevelt dictatorial powers exceeded by no European‘dictator, neither Hitler, Mussolini nor Stalin. eer oS The way will then be opén for;immediate participation in the European war regartléss of the outcome of the Battle of Britain. Ne pate There are many astute Sbservers. of the political scene who do net hesitate to predict, that should Mr. Roosevelt realize the tide of the presidential campaign is definitely against him—as it unquestionably now. is, a new and “bigger crisis” will be precipitated on the eve of the November election by which the New Deal will‘make a last desperate stand against defeat. ea There are many who‘feel this greater crisis might even provoke an actual declaration 6f War upon us by a foreign . power, or an emergency message to Congress might cause the United States to declare war: <*>" t If opposition to sucha course be “appeasement’’ there can be no doubt the American people will rally in even greater numbers to the Republican Party and to the Republican nominee, once they are awak€ned to the true situation. They are by the way, curious as:to what secret pacts or understandings this government may have with Great Britain in regard to the Far East and which, like the agreement recently concluded for Naval Bases inthe Carribean, may have been concluded without consultation with, or approval by, the United States Senate, as providéd by the Constitution. The President's refusal to enter intq debate with Wendell Willkie on any phase of domestic or foreign policy, his continuing tours of alleged inspection of American defenses, his “non political’’ speeches made during his frequent absenses from the White House, all these are part and parcel of what the New Deal regards as an adroit and clever way of confusing the American people as to the issues of the campaign and thus perpetuating itself in power. Unless the American people want war they will not be misled by these strategems but will continue in the way of peace, through complete and efficient preparedness, devoid of politics, with Wendell Willkie.-—Contributed.

Incidentally, the Washington economists admit that a rise of 5 per cent in the cost of goods by .next June is almost inevitable.

SUBSCRIPTION BATES Olle VGar( ie AGtance) ssn $2.50 i What the ultimate effect will be on the farming industry, no one can predict. But the immediate effect, in all probability, will be to strengthen markets and boost prices. _ Dependent on how fast the defense program gathers speed, industry is slated to take on between 2,500,000 and 3,000,000 more workers by next July, according to ‘Washington ‘eco-_nomists. : And the conscription and National Guard mobilization programs are scheduled to take more than 1,000,tlenecks which might delay deliveries, start laying in huge supplies of things they expect to need in the future, a 15 per cent increase in the prices, or more, would doubtless result. Many unknown factors can, of course, affect what will happen during the next twelve month.

This stafement is based on the assumption that any business the United States might lose by the surrender of Britain, and cancellation of her orders for American planes and armaments, would be more than offset by increases in the demands of this nation’s defense production schedule. The budget bureau in Washington estimates that defense expenditures, during the fiscal year, in addition to
normal costs of the, armed . forces, will total $5,00,000,000. And if defense costs soar to that figure, total federal expenditures for the year are expected to hit $12,000,000,000. A restraining influence on the “defense boom,” however, it is generally admitted, will be the rise in taxes. When people spend more for taxes, they must, inevitably, spend less on things bought for their families.In this fiscal year alone more than $700,000,000 was added to the! federal tax bill and another addition . of at least $200,000,000is slated in. the proposed excess profits tax, Washington reports also mention the threat of a possible car shortage (somewhat reminiscent of World War days), stating that unless more are built, freight cars are expected to fall 100,000 short of requirements by next fall. The Association of American Railroads disputes that contention, however, stating: : “American railroads are _ ready, right now, to do their part, and more. in any national emergency, That’s because railroad preparedness, the modernization of plant and methods, began 20 years ago. American railroads are at the highest peak in their history in speed and operating efficiency. As compared with 1920, the average freight car has 17 per cent more eapacity; the average locomotive has 44 per cent more pulling power, and the average freight train travels 64 per cent faster.” : Farmers, preparing for the swift changes that are inevitable, will do well to remember the lessons of the World War. There may be immediate profits to be made from a‘ ‘“‘defeuse boom,’’ but farmers will’ do well to keep their heads and not rush into expansion programs unjustified by on guard.

What is most needed in America today is co-operation— that unity of purpose which comforts the nation’s heart and wins success for high emprise. Unfortunately the exigencies of a presidential campaign are upon us. It is a great show, but a rather tawdry one. The chorus is “‘terrific’—there is however, no concord of sweet sounds, no harmonious blending of competing voices; still, all this will soon be over. When the sublime spectacle of brotherly animosity is over we shall settle down under our duly elected leader, slip the gears of national affairs into high and give heed to the command: “full speed ahead.” I wonder how you and . will fit into the scheme of pre-.
