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

The way will then be opén for;immediate participation in

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.

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. :

prevent a big spurt in American industry—and in the demand for pro107 Mil Street Nevada County Photo Center

BURIAL TODAY FOR
GRASS VALLEY MINER
Following funeral services this!
morning under the direction of the .
Hooper-Weaver Mortuary in Grass .
Valle, August Verlod, 72, Grass Val-.
ley district miner and farmer, was
interred in the Grass Valley Catholic!
Cemetery.
Verlod,; a native of Switzerland, .
had resided in Grass Valley for 47 /
‘years.
He leaves three children. Mrs. Syl-,

duce and goods. 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. If we can submerge our racial, religious— and afnormal conditions.. ;

surely there is something which every individual may con
tribute tothe gigantic enterprise which has for its end the
guarding of our beloved land from foes without and enemies
within.
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.”

of those things could I do—truly I couldn’t. What is there for
little folk to.do?
I know! Every one of us can and should guard the portals of his mind from that insidious fifth columnist, Intolerance.
Let those of us who are elected to stand and wait, at least stand
ter the election, even our political prejudices and pet aversions
— if we can induce those about us to do the same, we shall
have strengthened that spirit of co-operation so necessary to
the success of national plans of defense.
I wonder if there is any way to save an old covered
bridge. Probably not. We are quite helpless when a cherished
landmark stands in the path of progress.
