Calhoun Times., the dye is cast 1 Congress declared war on Japan Monday, December Kth. There was nothing else to do. It behooves every loyal American to hack his govei nmont to the last ditch. It was unexpected that this deadly blow came -from Japan, thousands of miles away, the most treacherous, greedy, domineering. and sneaking nation In the world today. Long ago we looked for war with (Jermnny. We had practically no Information about any secret differences with these little yellow, treacherous Japs. We do not parley or equivocate any longer. The war must be fought to a finish We are in Cod alone knows when we will get out. We have no scintilla % of apology for our opposition to the Htepq, said to he leading to peace Instead of to war. The Calhoun Times. In its small way. was about the only weekly that diagnosed correctly the attitude of i'resident Roosevelt from the time that he quietly and shrewdly sought a third torm, and on to the breaking out of hostilities. Rut that is water ovor the dam now. We diagnose no further. Hope, and bullets, and bombs are now our only ealvatlon. Let ovory one of us cheer on and back the boys without stint.

REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR A combination of world powers ban declared that freedom and despot lam cannot exist Hide by wide.: These world powers have decreed that democracies, because of their advocacy of freedom must be destroyed. The l ulled States lias been aliark?d by one of these powers. The character of walla re waned by these totalitarian slates envisions the destruction or enslavement of entire popula \ t Ions. The eh#iat tcr of warfare waned by Liieac totalitarian powers is *?uh (bat j the destruction of defenseless cities] and the killing of women and children Is the major mission of their armed forces. The general assembly of 1041 created the South Carolina State Council of Defense and authorized political subdivisions to organize local councils of defense.

He said education Is primarily a stale and local problem, but that there are sections of the country with such low tax revenue they cannot support modern schools. He said the nation may have to come eventually to some form of federal aid to education In the poorest of these areas, that a formula may be worked out for giving federal assistance to the educational systems of the poorest states. The south has had a disproportionately high share of the educational rejections. '4')iIs last statement is especially significant. It fits in with what wo have often heard: The educational systems of southern states rank low In comparison with other states. Are all southern schools of low quality or merely some of thorn? Are the educational deficiencies of the south duo to lack of effort by the southern states, or to their unwillingness to support schools, or to the lack of economic ability to pay the requisite costs of adequate schools? The most convincing evidence that there are wide and indefensible differences in educational opportunity in the southern states as a whole is found when compared to states in other parts of the nation. It is evident also that^ the educational differences within' the individual states of the south are appalling. It does not appear that any system of state nnd local taxation in the southern states can eradicate these inequalities. For several reasons, a moderate amount of federal assistance to the states for the support of public education is necessary. The abilities of the several states to pay for public schools are very unequal, the least ability being found in the south. Almost without exception, the states with the least per capita wealth, income and taxpavIng ability have the largest number of children in proportion to adult population. tho relative number of children in the south being 57 per cent greater than in the 12 richest states. In general, the southern states make the greatest financial effort to have good schools, and have the least money to pay for therh. Furthermore. tho'Tbatlonal character of business and Industry, and the concentration in a few placeB of ownership, control and taxpaying ability based on resources scattered throughout the nation, make federal assistance to the states for education more and more necessary. It is an obligation of the federal government to promote the national welfare, which is inseparable from the support of public education. Education reduces crime, raises the standard of cuture, is essential to longer life and better health, Increases the wealth and Income of the people, and Is Indispensable to the national defense. rfc.
