Will Americans Learn Lessons!
World War No. 2 has forced an almost complete
change in the national economy of the United States
and only under such tremendous pressure could our
people be led to accept the many sacrifices that daily
are coming to the front.
Not until Hitler made his great mistake of turning
on Stalin did it become apparent to this nation that
all-out aid to the democracies was something that
would affect the lives of every one of us and that as
time goes on we will have to dig deeper and work
harder, at the same time surrendering more and more
of the comforts of life in order to bring victory to the
allied arms. So far, food products have suffered little
from restrictions because we are independent of other
countries for these supplies. To a large extent, clothing
is in the same category. But the time may come, and
not far distant, when even these materials may come
under closer government supervision.
Up to the present, interest has centered mainly on
those products which directly affect prosecution of the i
war as pertains to the battle front. Of current interest
