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!

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

of the best was prepared by
Prestonia Mann Martin, Rollins
College, Winter Park, Florida.
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.
