December 7th Bond Drive .
Tomorrow, December 7th, a "day that will live In
infamy" as an anniversary of Japan's treacherous
attacks upon Pearl Harbor, will mark the opening
of an intensive one-week war bond and stamp selling
campaign in 16,000 theatres of America. That the
motion picture industry will do a good job in this new
drive is a foregone conclusion. The cooperation of
this industry in the entire war effort has been con
stant and substantial.
IN September, Hollywood stars, producers and ex-
hibitors launched a similar bond campaign. In the
language of these bond-selling showmen, the results
were nothing short or "colossal, stupendous, mam
moth, terrific" a billion dollars in bonds and stamps
were sold.
Medford's four theatres took active part in that
drive; they will lend the same generous assistance
in this "Avenge December 7th On to Victory" cam
paign. The local goal is to double the total already
sold in Medford show houses, which now exceeds
?42,000.
THESE theatres are official issuing agents for the
1 I A a 1 A 1 1 .1 1 1
" treasury department, a iact mat snoum oe Known
by the movie-going public not reached through the
payroll deduction plan.
Aithoueh the war is becoming more serious oay Dy
day more serious in its demands and more serious
in its impact upon the everyday lives of the American
people there are increasing reasons for confidence
and optimism. Few people do not now have a sense
of personal involvement in this conflict The willing
ness on the part of the American public to make every
conceivable sacrifice to win is increasingly apparent.
This spirit should be reflected in whole hearted
support of the program of Jackson County's energetic
war savings staff and in generous response to the
"A venire December 7th" carrmaien of Medford thea
tres opening tomorrow. H.G.
Is Admiral Parian a Traitor?
To the editor
I was Interested In your recent remarks about Darlan
but don't know as I agree with you. Would you care to have
an expedition against Germany headed by Col. Lindbergh or
Senator Wheeler? Well this man Darlan has been just as
pro-Natl as they ever were. But for him the French fleet
would have sailed to Africa and the French government with
it, instead of. going to Vichy and working hand and qlove
with HiUer. Now what if the fortunes of war turn against
England and the U. S. A. In Africa, which side will Admiral
Darlan and his native troops be on? I agree opposing Darlan
would have cost some lives, but this war can't be won without
that, the Nation may be right when it claims going the line
of least resistance in Africa, may bring disaster in the end.
The latest news from Africa don't look as though the battle
there was over by any means. I wouldn't trust this man as
far as I could throw a tank by the starting crank. I can't
see how Roosevelt can.
t G. D. Stewart, Medford, December 4th.
Nor does this column 1
As has been repeatedly stated Admiral Darlan is
an opportunist of the worst type, interested first, last
and all the time in himself and his own fortunes.
His political record is bad was bad before France
fell, has been worse since.
But the fact remains he was in command of the
French forces in North Africa when the Americans
landed, and for several days put up a stiff resistance.
It is also a fact Vichy France broke diplomatic rela
tions with this country, and ordered, this resistance
against invasion be continued.
should General Eisenhower have taken on this
war, as well as war against the German and Italians,
or should he have concentrated upon the latter, and
tried in every way to avoid the former?
-
THAT is the milk in this particular cocoanut as we
see it And we feel in coming to terms with Dar
lan at once and proceeding with Darlan's aid immedi
ately, against the Axis forces, Eisenhower did the
wise thing and from both the standpoint of political
cAycuicm.jr onu iiumai y iiecetsoiiy uie only practical
thing.
AS far as Darlan's record is concerned how about
tarian, and when he signed that non-resistance pact
with Hitler was as pro-Nazi as Darlan ever was.
but for btalin's agreement with Hitler in 1939. it
is very doubtful if this war would ever have started
certainly Der Reichfeuhrer would never have march
ed into Poland, had he not been assured Russia would
keep hands off.
Because of Stalin's past record, however, his totali
tarian convictions and what have you, would Mr.
Stewart refuse his military aid, and if necessary drive

the minimum sacrifice and the earliest possible moment
As we see it, eliminating Darlan in North Africa as
an enemy and securing not only his personal aid but
the aid of his Vichy forces, contributed materially
to this end.
To have denounced Darlan, and placed General
De Gaulle in command of all French forces, would
have done the exact reverse.
CINALLY, while we hold no brief for Darlan, we
don't believe he is or ever would be, a traitor to
France.
He did collaborate with Hitler when he was con
vinced the Germans would win, and believed it
would be best for himself and for France to be on
the winning side.
When the tide turned, and Africa was invaded bv
U. S. troops as the German offensive in Russia failed,
he undoubtedly became convinced the Germans
COULDN'T win, and again decided it would be best
for him and for France to be on th WINNING side.
We see no reason why the United Nations should
not benefit from this turn of the tide and change in
Darlan's viewpoint
It does no particular credit to the French admiral's
character, but it will, as we see it, hasten the defeat
of Hitler.
And that after all is the "consummation devoutly to
be wished !"

In August, 1941, they anchor

unknown reefs in a storm, and
the open water suddenly turned
to eight feet of ice and held
them for eleven months.

upon investment, risking money
for the chance to get more.
When the government says no
one can get more than $25,000
not even to pay 7 S to 90 per cent,
of the excess into the treasury
in taxes, how many new ven
tures will be made to furnish
employment and good wages and
good working conditions?
Certainly no one hereafter
would invest a million in new or
old enterprise, and no one who
already has an income of $25,000
net will make any more invest
ments or contribute in any way
to national economic welfare.
NO ONE would spend a million
rfnllnre tn ttiaW "flnno
With The Wind" movie, for in-
stance, and that much money
would be lost to workers.
Real estate promoters of now
areas would have to watch the
limit before investing. There
might be no more Miamls built
or Delroits built up.
New inventions that have
brought this country to the front
would likewise become less at
tractive. Only small investments
would be sensible.
What would it do to the Du-
Pont, Ford and Chrysler enter
prises (and that whole type of
top U. S. business already es
tablished?) The DuPonta would certainly
have to unload General Motors
stock, the bulk of which they
own. Who would but it? No one
who already had investments re
turning him S25.000 net
And who else Is there to buy
such large blocks of stock? The
price of stocks and bonds would
depreciate from such a condi
tion, hurting the little feUow
more than the rich.
Certainly there would be no
future rayon, cellophane and all
that large scale investment de
velopment in the future Amer
ica, because it would not pay.
Hundreds of thousands of work
ers (mostly union labor) would
find these opportunities closed.
"THERE are ways of getting
around everything. Possibly
every big existing business en
terprise in the country would
try selling stock to the small
wage earner again baby stock,
perhaps.
Ownership might become far
flung and diversified, which
would be good, if it did not
destroy personal business man
agement and the initiative which
alone has made this country
successful above all others.
The effect of the $23,000 limi
tation on salaries that has been
made already can be seen when
the movie actors make their one
or two pictures a year and quit
What will happen when invest
ment quits? Who wiU be helped?
What will happen to American
productive enterprise, the super
ior quality of which is enabling
us to win the war because other
nations cannot match it? Who
will build the factories of the
future.
Where can the- treasury get
the bulk of its money hereafter,
unless it increases the taxes on
all the rest of us who are not
rich to replace the taxes lost by
this limitation? Who would be
helped?
Does not this well-sounding
political move involve the most
revolutionary reform ever men
tioned by the new deal?
Could anyone possibly get any
good out of It except the com
munists who originated the idem
many years ago not to help
anyone but to prevent our suc
cessfully capitalistic democracy
from being successful, so they
could get control?
Who else would be helped?
