FRIDAY, MAY 5,1944 COMPLETE CONTROL Military authorities appear deter mined to take over every function of government of our nation but seem to have struck a snag in the Military Affairs Committee of the House, which has turned down their demand for a labor draft. i i a y o i i a s w e a e brass hats—seem to believe that mis takes can be covered up by extending their jurisdiction, by demanding more power over our people. They want complete authority to do as they please with everything and every body. And that is the Hitlerian, Prus sian system we want nothing to do with. The American people—the workers and industrialists have supplied military authorities with all the men they can use, with all the planes, tanks, guns and ammunition they can use, but we have not yet reached the point where we can believe the Mili tary (with a capital M) is the goal of success. This government was not founded on militarism, as is Germany, and military brass hats seem to be the same all over the world. The people of America don't forget what happened at Pearl Harbor. The Japanese there stole a march not on the American people but on our mili tary experts. More than 3,000 people and millions of dollars in equipment were destroyed there on December 7, 1941, which enabled the enemy to con quer the Pacific area. And the cam paign in Italy is no monument to the ingenuity of our military experts. We are now giving them all the money they can use, all the men they can train, and all the ammunition they can burn. Let 'em show us some results before they demand that the entire nation be placed in their charge. 0 POSTWAR PLANNING Efforts of forward-looking citizens and labor officials to think about what will happen when the shooting stops arouses sharpshooters on some of our metropolitan dailies who seem to be lieve all the American people have to do is to leave everything to the edi tors and columnists.

Representative Hamilton Fish of New York introduced the resolution, which may explain why it got scant mention. For years, a bitter campaign has been conducted by many news papers and radio writers and com mentators against Fish and they don't want him to have credit for anything that is likely to meet with popular approval, such as his resolution on feeding Europe. Incidentally, it may be mentioned that despite all efforts to defeat Fish, the people of his dis trict have continued to reelect him with great regularity, by substantial majorities. Approval of Representative Fish's resolution completed Congress ap proval of feeding Europe's hungry, providing it can be done without aid ing the Germans. Under the direction of Herbert Hoover, this was done in World War 1 and there seems no rea son why it can't be done now. Commenting on passage of his reso lution, Representative Fish told the House, "we must not let the matter rest here. I hope the women of Amer ica will write to the Secretary of State and to the President urging him to use their influence to start feeding the children of Europe before it is too late." "Even now," he added, "millions of his entire cabinet and also on telling us what to think now and afterward. Fortunately, however, -we have in this country outstanding citizens who realize that the daily newspapers and industrial tycoons have not always been omnipotent in their advice and have not always led us in the right path. The memorable year 1929 is still remembered, and what happened then will always be a monument to the dumbness of the (at that time) rulers of our nation. The New York conference of offi cials of labor, industry and govern ment a few weeks ago was attended by men and women who realize here is a job to be done when the war ends, and they contributed to a program which will help the people not only of this country but all over the world to get enough to eat and keep a roof over their heads. Countries across the Atlantic, no table Britain, also—even in the midst of Nazi bombs—are looking in the same direction, and it is to be hoped that a world-wide plan for the better ment of all peoples will emerge not after Hitler is destroyed but will be in working order immediately when needed. It took us a year to convert to war production, but we just can't af ford a year of idleness in getting back on our feet. Our people will need work then as much as our fighting forces need war materials now. 0 WHAT NEXT? Consolidated Vultee, San Diego, Calif., says it has the first continuous ly moving assembly line for planes. Bombers on it travel down one side of the plant and back the other side on small rail cars while workers make their installations as they ride. The cars are coupled together in trains pulled by draglines. 0 Read The Press. $200 CASH. You can have it right away. Use it on j-our farm to good advantage. Repay after harvest next fall.

THE CITY LOAN and Guaranty Company t., I k% ^c COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS NOT much publicity was given in the daily press to the recent unanimous passage by the House of Representatives of a resolution urg ing the State Department to use its influence to relax the blockade to per mit sending of food to the hungry women and children of German-occu pied nations. THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESS European children will be crippled for life, and if food is not forthcoming soon, the future destiny of these oc cupied nations will be ghastly beyond words." Fish said that in the last war Her bert Hoover fed 7,000,000 Belgians without a pound of food reaching the German. This led Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers of Massachusetts to remark: "Why not ask former President Hoover to feed the hungry children again? He did a good job then." The Fish resolution asks that the Secretary of State work out a plan for distributing food in the war-rav aged countries with the help of Great Britain, Switzerland and Sweden. Bel gian, Norway, Poland and other na tions have the money to pay for the food and have specifically requested such help, the resolution says. In line with- the resolution, Dr. Howard E. Kershner, chairman of the Temporary Council on Food for Eu rope's Children, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City, has appealed to Presi dent Roosevelt to "star the mercy ships before it is too late." Dr. Kershner, who was until re cently director of Quaker Relief in Europe, declared it was important to get food to the children of occupied Europe before the invasion because the ensuing military operations would destroy all means of communication and make it impossible to get food to the children for some time. The American Federation of Labor Executive council, at its January meeting, asked help for the children and said that it was "strongly of the opinion food should be sent immedi ately."
