Rates for farm benefit
merits under the AAA for 1941,
which are again urranged so us to
place more emphasis on soil con
servation, have been approved by
the secretary of agriculture and
announced for the guidance of ull
local AAA officials throughout
the country.
Rates of importance to Oregon
are in some cases slightly k>wei
than were announced a year ago,
although they ar«> on approximate
iy the same level as actual pay
meats this year. The previously I
announced rates were reduced
slightly because of heavier parti
cipation in the program than an ■
ticipated, says Will Stern, state
AAA committee chairman.
The national goal for soil de
pleting crops is announced us the
i same ns this year, that is between
270,000,000 and 285,000,000 acres

HERE’S ONE CHRISTMAS ARMISTICE—
BETWEEN THE TW1DDL1NGS AND I S!
For weekly newspapers, today’s issue is the Christ
mas edition and The Miner is mellowed by the occas
ion. We enter the season with humility.
For six years in Ashland, now and then, this little
gem of journalism has possessed the temerity to scoif
and scold our senior rival, the Daily Twiddlings. and
the holiday would not be properly observed if we
failed to make a confession:
We never really meant those jibes and jests, puns
and pointed remarks we hurled at our competitor—
they were nothing more than our bedside manner, as
the doctors would say. The daily paper is steadily
improving, is giving readers a surprisingly better
service.
In acquiescence to the Christmas spirit we explain
that The Miner really likes General George—we pick
on him only because he makes it such fun.

I I,N THE TOTALITARIAN LANDS MEN ARE FORCED TO WORK
Folks who’ve been accusing Wall Street of getting
the United States into World war No. 1 now are em
barrassed. As history repeats itself they see at first
hand just how it was that the people and not their
leaders determined that we should enter the last war.
The pacifist of yesterday is the enthusiastic sup
porter of all possible aid to England today. The change
in sentiment is keeping pace with change in the in
ternational picture. Americans are undergoing a
mental evolution and the nation as a whole is revising
previous Pollyannish notions about “keeping out of
all foreign wars.”
That is why today, when pleas for more material
and financial aid are being made by the desperate but
determined British, they fall on ears deeply sympa
thetic, and today Americans are awakening to the
stark reality that the time is here when we must take
sides—either actively with total aid for England or,
by continued passiveness, with Germany. No longer
can we have our cake and eat it too.
The issues are clear. The preponderant majority
of Americans not only are sympathetic with England,
but they are anxious that that sympathy be trans
lated into powder and steel. We have reached the point
where we are fighting mad and—what is more vital—
we also have reached the point where if England is to
be saved we must quit mouthing phrases and murmur
ing condolences and get the hell to work helping save
her.
No longer is it a question of whether we choose
to help England—rather is it a question of whether
we will stem the force that will keep the British from
helping us! If we wait much longer America is likely
to find herself forfeiting to Germany the strength of
the Empire, and THEN how we’d wish we had pos
sessed the guts and the sense to shake off our self
satisfied lethargy and get busy at the job we knew
was ahead.
Hitlerism is on the march. Americans do not like
Hitlerism and they will fight to the death to keep it
out of their homeland. Why, then, should we wait until
it has cleared all obstacles to our very doorstep?
Just what is the United States waiting for, any
way—the bombing of OUR women and children ? What
are we, a nation of men ... or Chamberlains?
