R A D IO S , B IC Y C LE S T R IC Y C L E S The unprovoked attack o f Japan on American possessions simply mark ed the occuience o f the inevitable. For many months most authorities have been convinced that we could not avoid formal participation in the war that now engulfs all the conti nents. The big question was when and wheie the spark would be ignit ed. The Japanese militarists spurred by their Axis comrades have answer ed that question fo r us and for the world. The American people enter this war with a sense o f grim and bit. ter necessity. No thinking man wants war. It is to the great credit o f our government that it did everything possible within the bounds o f our natonal honor and interests to main tain peace. That e ffo rt failed thru no fault o f those who administer our governmental affairs. It failed be cause ruthless conquerors o f our time are bent on world domination. Nothing less can satisfy them. And so, at last the democratic world is allied in arms against the totalità > ian world in the greatest war history has ever known. Here in America the task is clear. The American people will support their government to the limit and they will make whatever sacrifices prove necessary. The issue o f inter vention veisus non-intervention is as last years news. The isolatonist lead ers displaying that patriotism which characterizes all true Americans how ever d ifferen t their opinions have pledged their full support to the Pre sident and the nation. From this time on it is the job o f all to show the world that a free America is more than a match for any adversary. The soldiers and the sailors who figh t in this war carry into the bat. tie a traditional freedom. They are not the unthinking “ helling” subjects o f a dictator. They are not slaves, living and dying like puppets at the whim o f a master. They have been reared in the freeest o f all great na tions under the ideals which Lincoln called, “ The last, best hope o f earth.” They know iwhat they are fighting for. They know what freedom is. And they know the sorrowful truth that blood must be shed if freedom is to be preserved. Back o f the fighting men o f Am erica will be a production machine unparalleled on earth. Labor and in dustry will not shirk the gigantic task that time and circumstance have giv en it. The price o f failure would be the death o f freedom. The days ah ead will be hard and bitter, but no one can doubt what the eventual end will be victory fo r freedom, for a way o f life that respects the digni ty o f man. It is all there in one word, free dom. Freedom o f speech, freedom of press, freedom o f worship, freedom o f enterpt ise. These are what we pos sess and these are iwhat we are fight ing to save and perpetuate forever. Am erican industry is ready for this war. Go down the roster o f our great private enterprises, the rail roads, the power systems, the steel mills, the motor makers, the coal and metal mines, the oil wells and refin ing plants, the airplane factories and the rest. American enterprise repre sents a veritable miracle of prepared ness. And now the tempo of produc tion w ill be stepped up again and ag ain. There can be no “ business as us. ual,” “ strikes as usual,” or “ politics as usual” from now on. Let there be no despair. Let there be instead, uncompromising determi nation. W ar has been forced on us. It has been forced un us by a nation to which we offered firm friend ship, economic cooperation ,aid in solving its problems, everything in short except the right to pillage and destroy and conquer. Now our ene mies will learn how free men .backed by the limitless resources o f our free enterprise system can acquit themselves in battle. H ow did the name "ta r” origi nate? In the days o f wooden ships and iron men, it was customary for sailors o f the U. S. and all nations to soak their trousers in tar in order to waterproof them. From this cus tom the nickname “ tari ’originated. Phys:cally fit high school gradu ates with amateur or commercial ra dio experience or a federal commuai. FRIDAY, DEC. 19, 1941 ing assigned to duty.
