Hitler also issued a proclama
tion to the German people, read
over the Berlin radio.
- In it he reiterated hit state
ments that Germany was not
the aggressor and had tried to
maintain peace even after the
- outbreak of fighting in Septem--btr,
1939.
" 'The German people will be
' lieve me," he said, "that I
should have preferred to choose
peace instead of war. For peace
i included for himself a heap of
- fortunate tasks. What I and the
whole national socialist move-
ment will be prevented from ac-

labor, increased cost of mater
ial and substantial increases in
taxes made necessary by the
war effort.
Uncertain Futura
The outlook for the future
is characterized principally by
uncertainty.
True, the immediate pros
pects indicate a good volume of
business for 1942 perhaps for
several years at prices which
would appear to be satis
factory for the production of
profit.. And unquestionably all
sound business should be able
to show a substantial gain dur
ing the coming year. Prices
should continue at satisfactory
levels.
But, again, this Is only half
of the picture.
In the first place local busi
ness will be affected more by
the war than would appear at
first glance. Curtailment of
production in many lines, bans
on or curtailment of sales in
others, reduction in tourist
travel, movement of labor to
defense areas and many other
factors already are beginning
to be felt and will be cumula
tive in their effect on the local
business picture as time goes
on. .
- Tha future of the lumber bus
iness, our largest pay roll. Is
clouded , with uncertainty. Al
ready many fir mills have
closed due. to lack of outlets
for some grades produced. Pine
mills are more fortunate in

some respects so far as market
outlets are concerned, but even
at this early date factory grades
and selects are beginning to ac
cumulate due to bans on
building outside defense areas.
How far this trend might go
is not subject to accurate fore
cast at the moment.
Price Ceiling
About the only definite and
certain characteristic of the com
modity price structures of the
future is that the government
will not permit the price of
any commodity to rise too high.
A ceiling on pine lumber prices
is in the making. Farm prices
will not be exempt from gov
ernment action if they begin to
get out of hand. And no one
seems able to tell when or
where the lightning will strike.
Nor can anyone foretell with
accuracy the ultimate effect of
our good neighbor policy on
tariff structures on cheaply pro
duced agricultural and livestock 1
products.
The present prices and rate
of turn-over in business of all
kinds is largely induced by gov
ernment spending, and there
seems to be no crystal ball in
which to foresee how long this
will last nor at what rate it
is to be continued.
Carl Sandburg reports in the
last few days that one informed
Washington authority claims
one year and another six years
of war. Apparently there is
no little certainty, even in "in
formed sources."
I repeat, therefore, about the
only certainty is that all busi
ness is charged with uncertain
ty. No Grousing
Nevertheless there is no
hysteria among business men.
The attitude seems to be "bus
iness as usual, and we will bear
all necessary restrictions to the
best of our ability." There is
little, if any, grousing.
In a fog we steam with care
through dangerous waters. It
is only In the defense industries
where any undue expansion ap
pears to bo called for. and
private business is charting a
course where the hazards of un
certainty will be minimized.
Just in case these remarks
might be construed as over
emphasizing what might be
called the darker side of the
business picture let us again
scan the assured features which
can be summed up as "firm to
strong .commodity prices, in
creasing activity in basic lines
and confidence in ourselves and
in our business community for
1942."

the disclosure that his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Stephen' Benson

a cablegram from him on De

In staccato sentences, G.'n.
MacArthur's field headquarters
gave this summary of the desper
ate situation:
"The enemy is driving in great
force from both north and south.
"His dive bombers practically
control the roads from the air.
'The Japanese are using great
quantities of tanks and armored
units.
"Our lines are being pushed

Late yesterday, the nearest
Japanese troops had been re

Manila.
An army bulletin said the at
tempt to evacuate seriously
wounded Americans from the
island was made on a ship fly
ing the United States and Red
Cross flags. No other details
were given. j
This seemed to indicate that j
little hope was held out for a
prolonged defense of the island,
with MacArthur's forces already
caught in a narrowing vise north
and south of Manila.
Because of military secrecy,
there was no immediate informa
tion whether the defeat of Gen.
MacArthur's Luzon armies would
mean the end of the entire Phil
ippine struggle. Other American
Filipino forces have been re
ported still fighting on Mindanao
island, 600 miles south of Manila.

SCALES BOOSTED
Over 225 woods employes of
the Long-Bell Lumber company
of Weed, Calif., Wednesday were
granted pay increases effective
January 1 and a week's vacation
with pay in 1942, according to
an announcement by J. M. White,
manager of the big Weed opera
tion. r
White said the wage boosts
will bring employes' scales up to
a par with those in the Klamath
basin. The announcement af
fected only woods workers and
not employes of the mill where
an eight-week strike was recent
ly ended by a department of la
bor request.
Settlement of wage scale diffi
culties in the mill is expected
following a meeting of a depart
ment of labor arbitration board
in Weed on January 5, the lum
berman said.

Livestock operations have

able. j
Farm Situation O.K.
The agricultural situation has:
likewise been quite satisfactory, j
In some instances production was :
less than last year and costs of
production were greatly in
creased; however, prices have
more than offset the increased
cost, barley having sold at better!
than average prices and pota-j
toes moving out at prices higher '
than those received during the
past four years.
Local retail trade Is generally
reported as having benefitted
relatively and retail businesses,:
for the most part, report having
had a satisfactory year. Should
present prices be maintained for
lumber, cattle, and agricultural
products, which seems probable
as long as war continues, we can
look forward with reasonable as
surance that the coming year
will be one of satisfactory com
mercial activity.
We should not, nowever, over
look certain dislocations which
will result from war activities.
We shall have shortages of things
we take for granted; there will
be priorities of goods and mate

other will affect most of us;
there will be regulations which
will tend to restrict our personal
