WHO'S GOING TO
SACRIFICE WHAT?
The American people. driven by
the need for military security, must
build a military establishment cost
ly beyond all precedents. An incred
ible proportion of the national in
come must be taken from the
pockets of the people and diverted
to government. All of us‘ will have
fewer luxuries. All of us must con
serve. All of us must sacrifice.
That is clear enough and reason
able enough. But it has become
tragically plain that a very sub
stantial portion of the American
people have the idea that the other
fellow should make most, if not all
of the sacrifices. It’s the other fel
iow’s standard of living which
should, not their own. It’s the other
fellow who should .pay the bill and
do the work. while they go on much
as they did before.
Certain inflential segments of la
bor, tor instance, demand still high
er pay. shorter hours. excessive ex
tra pay cfor overtime, and other
special privileges and prerogatives
for the workman, despite the fact
that pay is now the highest and the
work-week the shortest in history.
Their argument is that industry
must sacrifice more of its profits in
the interests of labor, while the
worker grows fat off the national
emergency.
'A certain segment of industry
follows a similar course. Even as it
makes profits of an unusual size, it
works to reduce the share that goes
to labor, and it works to get more
bounty (for itself out of government
in one way or another. It too be
lieves in sacrifice—so long as the
other fellow does it.
Those who have gone on govern
ment relief as a career favor sacri
fice, too—so long as it doesn’t touch
relief appropriations. The govern
ment, under the guise of “relief,"
still pays out minions lor' leaf-rak
in, boondogghng and other com—
pletely non-productive activities.
Powerful influences demand that
not one nickel of this waste be elim
inated, no matter how much others
sacrifice to pay it, or how dire the
meme the cotmtry faces.
The professional politicians talk
much of sacrifice, in noble words.
But it is a rare politician who is
willing to sacrifice one thin dime or
patronage that might cost a vote, to
support a principle. Money still
goes out for farm relief schemes
foredoomed to failure—for unnec
essary tax-built and tax-subsized
government electric plants, .for gov
ernment credit schemes of all
kinds, and for a thousand and one
purposes which are in no way a true
_mnction of government, but which

are prolific sources of votes and
power. The self-seeking hand of
politics handicaps a real defense
program which would get maximum
results with a minimum of waste of
time and money.
Who is going to sacrifice what?
That is the question that America
faces today. if national security is
to be a reality, not a mirage. The
answer is plain. All must sacrifice,
all must contribute their full share.
The other fellow isn’t going to do
it for us. Selfish instrests now at
play in America, whether they be in
labor, industry, or government, are
the real fifth-columnists within our
gates. ‘
According to a survey by the Am
erican Institute of Public Opinion
the trend of opinion against an
amendment to the Constitution pro
hibiting to a president a third term
is growing. In 1938, 48 percent fav
ored such an amendment and 52
opposed such an amendment. In No
vember 1939, 42 percent favored
such an amendment and 58 percent
opposed it. A recent poll showed
that but 41 percent favored such an
amendment and 59 percent opposed
it. Divided as to parties 69 percent
of the Republicans favor such an
amendment and 31 percent oppose
it. Among the Democrats 14 per
cent favor the amendment and 86
percent oppose it.
We concede that exemption from

Germany recently offered to sell
Brazil certain war equipment for
$60,000,000. The same equipment
purchased in the United States, due
to 'wage and hour scales and other
production restrictions, would cost
$200,000,000. What chance would this
country have in holding South Am
erican trade in face of this type of
competition? In Germany the youth
are trained to work and when the
country wants to get 'a. certain job
done they all cooperate to do it.
Wage and hour scales are forgotten
and a strike that interferred with
production would be put down be
fore it got started.

In order to register your approv
al, or disapproval as you may term
it, in the coming November elec
tions, it is necessary for you to grab
your hat and hie yourself to the
September primary in order that you
may nominate your choice through
this necessary step in the American
system of voting. You can’t do much
good at the primaries unless you are
registered in your district as 3. rec
ognized voter. Those folks who have
moved since the last election or did
not exercise their right of voting, or
transferred from another district,
must put forth a bit of extra ef
fort. Exercise your right as an
American citizen, being grateful for
this power and prayerful that such
a right he not taken away from
you.

France is a pitiable example of a‘
country whose leaders listened to
Hitler and failed to defend them
selves against him. France will find
out to her sorrow that she has sold
her birthright of freedom for a
mess of Nazi pottage. It is well to
stop and think that there are today
in this country those who would sell
this country to Hitler. They are
building their organization and
spreading their lies and poison thru
the land. The incredible thing about
it is that we should think that free
speech and free assembly extends
to such, the right to exist in this
country. There is a point at which
tolerance becomes a vicious weak
ness. The American Legion is the
only group in this country that
courageously and openly takes a
stand against these enemies of lib
erty and traitors of Democracy. May
it be, that we, like France, will not
wake up too late, and find our
country betrayed and our patriotism
emasculated.

In the event of war in any part
of the world the men and women all
over America are asked to unite in
a program to supply food and cloth

for destitute refugees. At the same
time Congress is called upon to vote
billions for armament and pre
paredness. We find ourselves won

what basis then is for the conten

if there is a war in Europe or else
where. In our opinion the facts
very definitely belie the statement.
