Official Paper for Morrow County
A Momentous Day
POLITICS was adjourned yester
day as the country joined in up
holding the hand of President Roose
velt in the call to young men of the
country to register under the con
scrition clause of the national de
fense act.
Nor is there a political issue today
between the leading candidates for
the country's highest office when it
comes to national defense. President
Roosevelt wisely said that total war
abroad calls for total defense at
home. The issue, in this respect, as
related by Mr, Willkie, lies not in
the end to be attained but in the
methods used to attain it.
Mr. Willkie has accused the pres
ident of drawing the United States
closer to total war, not because of
acts of the moment but because of
dilly-dallying in pressing the coun
try's defenses some time back when
the president was telling the country
that we were in imminent danger of
being drawn into war; and for con
doning actions of foreign labor lead
ers who were fomenting unrest, crip
pling the industry he called upon to
get busy, and weakening the coun
try's morale at a time when all ele
ments should have been solidly wet
did together.
Few, indeed, are there in America
who want to see any of the young
men who registered yesterday have
to face the cold reality of total war.
Most Americans truly believe that
the best way to avert total war for
the United States is to have this
manpower, as well as industry and
other resources mobilized to attain
its greatest effectiveness, for it is
plainly thus that the type of ag
gressors at work in Europe only will
be discouraged from any attempt at
armed warfare in America.
Everyone does wish to see Amer
ica strong, and the very fact that
agitation toward increased action is
necessary today is evidence that the
defense program has been lagging.
Some third term advocates say that
America would not have tolerated
&uch action from the president two
years ago. It seems plain that such
extreme measures would not have
been necessary two years ago and
would not now be necessary had the
proper steps been taken at the prop
er times to bring about the more
orderly and efficient development
that comes through gradual and
thorough proparation.
Wendell Willkie learned the essen
tials of efficient operation in a posi
tion where his pay did not come
from pulling political strings but
from the pocketbooks of hard-headed
stockholders who gauged worth
by dividend checks. In such a po
sition a man must make good or his
pay check is no longer issued, That
is the American way of which Wen
dell Willkie speaks. It is the way
that brought progress and prosperity
to America. And we, with Wendell
Willkie, believe it is the way to
keep the young men of yesterday's
registration from having to exper
ience the horrors of total war.

WOULD YOU
CUT DOWN THE APPLE TREE?
You'll probably find a few bad apples
in a bushel of good ones. That's the
way it is with beer retailing in America.
There are hundreds of thousands of
wholesome, law-abiding beer retail
establishments that sell good beer
the refreshing, appetizing beverage of
moderation. At the same time, there is
a handful of undesirable, anti-social
taverns. Unfortunately, these few out
law establishments bring discredit to
the entire beer industry.
To protect your right to drink good
beer, the Brewing Industry wants such
anti-sodal retailers eliminated entirely.
It has instituted a "clean-up or close
up" program now in effect in some
states and being extended.
We'd like you to know about this
socially important program. May we
tell you about it in an interesting free
booklet? Write: United Brewers Indus
