MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1942. PAGE NINE Appeals For Merchants Babton Alto Talks on After-the-War Job Taftville, Conn., April J The allies ar. going to win World War n by patience. We at home can help by also being patient and cheerfully accepting substitutes when merchant tell ui they are out of Just what w. want to buy. This patience, moreover, will be rewarded by perhaps a better product than we had before. Necessity la still the "mother of Invention." It was recently illustrated to me in this Con necticut town where they are making felt hats out of skimmed milk. Before the war, the best felt I was made from wild rabbit fur which came from Australia. None Is now obtainable; while the government Is shutting down on the only wool fibers which can be used. Did our felt manufacturers give up like the rubber tire ex perts? Not much; the felt men went to work to find a substi tute. They tried everything but skimmed milk. Finally, some one said, "Better try skimmed milk." They did and with it the National Dairy Products corpor ation is now making here the finest felt and wool you ever saw! Take it from me, we will solve the tire problem in some way. Forget the politicians in Washington and look to the in ventors in laboratories. War Regulations Issued in Flood Now just to show you what your local merchants are tem porarily up against, I cut the following items from a recent Wall Street Journal. These show only a portion of the rules and regulations for only one week! Hence, don't blame your local merchant if he hasn't what you want. Be patient; accept a sub stitute. Perhaps the substitute will turn out to be better than what you used to buy. Well, av here's a partial list for one 9 week!

Waste paper Price schedule revised to encourage segregation of higher-grade materials (amendment 2 to revised price schedule 30), effective March 23. Planned Economy To Continue I also submit the above for another reason. This is for you to ask yourself this question. When the boys get back from war, finding no Jobs for them selves with wealth at one end of the town and poverty at the other while crops are rotting in the fields and factories are clos ing, will they not demand "rules and regulations" to give them Jobs? Will they not say: If you could make all these regulations to fight war, why not make a few to fight unemployment? If you could order the factories to keep running to feed the English, why not make them keep running to feed us? If you could fix prices and wages to enable everyone to buy food and clothing during the war, why not do it now? Jobs For Everyone After the War - The columnists say this is no time to talk about peace; we first should lick Hitler, Musso lini, and Tojo. But there is one thing certain, namely, that World War II will end some day. The time is surely coming when our 2,500,000 boys are coming home to look for Jobs. I for one am interested In do ing something now to see that they get them. I will not be shut up by bureaucrats, politic ians, or commentators. For some weeks I have been studying various plans offered during the last depression. One E ; xv.v - 11' - it .. a... r r -m r.

Send her 25 cents for her book of 150 pages on how everybody can get a living after World War II. In this country, we need have no more poverty, no more unemployment, and a living for everybody. It can be done; it should be done; and after the boys come back it will be done. Labor Unions Will Bo Regulated Some of my friends say the labor unions won't let the boys have Jobs when they come back. Of course, I realize that many of the union members, now riding high and handsome, will be out of work themselves when peace comes; but they then will have to be on their good behavior. When the boys get home if any labor leader then tries what he s doing now, the boys will make quick work of him. He'll have a taste of "rules and regulations.' Just one closing thought. No economic planning or any legis lation, including rationing and restrictions, will work except as people get a spiritual awaken ing. Without this Washington will make us a nation of boot leggers. We never can get an honest horse race until we get an honest human race! Eco nomic planning and church planning must go hand-ln-hand for either to succeed. were lectures and round-table discussions for students who wish to contniue their studies in college. This conference has won wide recognition for the Medford school system and is considered the finest in the state. Japan Is today the land of the setting sun, according to James R. Young, noted far east corre spondent who will lecture here Monday, April 27, under aus pices of the Jackson County League of Women Voters. His subject will be 'The War in the Pacific." Mr. Young, who has spent 13 years as a newspaper man In the far east, most of them In Japan, is not impressed by Japan's ini tial successes In the battle of the Pacific. "In five years of an unde clared "incident" in China, the Japanese have not successfully occupied that vast continent of Asia," ha pointed out recently. "China is Imponderable. Japan underestimated Chinese strength, passive resistance, the meaning ness of time. "Yet after operating a high speed military machine, and having defeated 2.000.000 Chi nese, the Japanese have encoun tered the amazing military para dox of facing 12.000.000 men In the Chinese army and guerilla forces. 'The United States. Japan will find, is Just as imponder able," Mr. Young went on to say. To wage total all-out war. a nation must have raw materials, factories operating 24 hours a day. a determined people, and shipyards capable of producing every clas of vessel, from cap ital ship and aircraft carrier to submarines and landing barges, this noted foreign observer states, adding that Japan lacks all these. ture. which will be at the high school auditorium, will be on sale by all members of the league and at the Baldwin Piano Shop.
