POOD GOAL TO
BE
BOOSTED BY
DE
PARTINT
WASHINGTON, Jan. (P)
The agriculture dcpnrtmcnt Is
boosting the country's record
bronklng 1042 food production
goals so thnt the United States
can, if necessary, become the
veritable bread-basket as well
aa the arsenal of the anti-axl.i
nations.
The atepped-up goals may be
announced later this week. The
department is anxious to get
them on record as quickly as
possible so that they can be ap
portioned among farmers in time
for them to make tho necessary
adjustments in their plans.
Japanese successes In the Pa
cific coupled with official pre
dictions that the war may be
prolonged have led Secretary
Wlckard and his crop control ex
pert to review the tentative
current goals for such products
aa corn, oats, barley, soybeans,
livestock, vegetable crops and
dairy products.
Theso goals were established
early in the fall, before the
United States became Involved
In tho war. While calling for the
largest production in the history
of American agriculture, the
program was based upon the ex
pectation that only Great Britain
would be needing substantial
quantities of food produced in
this country.
Officials said that with Rus
sia and China throwing greater
and greater portions of their
manpower into this war, this
country may have to supply both
with considerable quantities of
food.
Farm officials no longer are
concerned about surpluses. They
take the view that in a war such
as is being waged now, there
cannot be too much food and
fiber supplies. They point out
that present governmental pow
er to place floors under grower
prices make it possible for farm
ers to produce abundantly with
out suffering price drops.

Man Given Twelve
Months, $100 Fine
For Theft of Tire
RICHMOND. Va., Jan. 6 Uf)
A man charged with stealing a
used tire was given the maxi
mum penalty for petty larceny
of 12 months and $100 fine here
Monday.
"We are at war," said Police
Court Justice Carlton E. Jew
ett in imposing sentence, "and
I don't propose to permit people
to go around stealing other peo
ple's tires. Tires are gold today
and I think it is good for peo
ple in the confines of this city to
know how this court feels about
the theft of tires."
The very heart of the evil we
are fighting is the nazi belief
in the inherent superiority of
the German race and the Japa
nese belief in the inherent su
periority of the Japanese race.

Thirteenth district naval auth

dent's warning against rumors
and urged all civilians to kill
a rumor by refusing to carry it
further."
"The regular news agencies
are carrying all legitimate navy
news which will not be of aid

said. "Meanwhile hundreds o(
street rumors are being cir
culated, some by enemy agents
in an effort to create panic
and confusion but most by
unthinking citizens who do not
realize they are aiding the
enemy by retailing idle gossip.
Along with the rumors, the
navy officials pointed out, there
are occasional facts which gen
erate from defense plants, water
fronts, and even naval stations,
which if given wide oral cir
culation are of genuine assist
ance to the axis powers.

WE-
ALL
The Japanese attack on the United States instantly changed our
trend of thought in this country.
Before that attack some of us thought in terms of "I", others in
terms of "we". Neither of those terms expresses our feelings today.
"I" represents onlyone person.
"We" may mean only two or a few persons.
Our slogan now is WE-ALL, which means every loyal individual
in the United States.
We are facing a long, hard job, but when the United States decides
to fight for a cause, it is in terms of WE-ALL, and nothing can or
will stop us.
President Roosevelt, our Commander-in-Chief, can be certain that
WE-ALL are back of him, determined to protect our country, our
form of government, and the freedoms which we cherish.
