Just a few weeks ago To jo’s helpers, the CIO, Broadcast from Philadelphia that they have made a solemn pledge that they would have no strikes for‘the duration. They thought that true, loyal Americans would believe them so they could go on with their dirty sabotage unsuspected. But, almost every day since that time, the communists leaders in the CIO have had their unions pull strikes of various kinds which resulted in the great loss of production, _ Last week’s papers told of three steel plants closed be cause of CIO strikes. Since war material consigned to Eng land and Russia is getting there, the Communists are evidently satisfied because that material is beijig used against Hitler who invaded communist Russia. So I'am of the opinion that when the CIO Communists puira strike the one \^o suffers is Gen. MacArthur. He is begging for equipment in vain. Russia is not our ally against Japan. As long as Com munist Russia refuses to fight with the United States against Japan, Japan is being helped by the Communists in this coun- tp^ every time the CIO pulls a strike or a slowdown of produc tion sabotage act. It is about time that a real war was de clared on Communists in this country. Gen. MacArthur will never be able to ceal a knockout blow against Japan unless ihe gets the material to do it with and he will never get the material if the CIO is permitted to keep it from him. There are many true Americans that are members of various CIO tfnions, but they have been easily misled by^high pressure salesmanship into joining a CIO union' under the pretext'that they would get big increases in pay and paid va cations and many other things. They do not stop to think for themselves. If they did they would see that they are only being used as suckers to swell the ^at income of the Com munist leaders by the payment of their initiation fees ahd monthly dues. .

C., Deo.—Democrats and Republicans debated the soldiers vote hill tor six days and the question narrowed down to the constitutionality and propriety of Uie Federal govern ment managing the voting. The con census of opinion was that the Army and Navy might properly dlstrlbnto the votes but that the 48 State gov ernments must conduct the elections, and receive the returns. Politics were not involved in reaching this conclu sion. No one in Washington, so far as the proceedings indicate, is trying to “capture”. the soldiers’ vote in the next Presidential election, for any one, or for any party candidate.

C. 41 FAITH KEEPS AWAY FEAR Thw is the story of a sermon. It was a sermon preached by a minister in a little church, and it deals with death. ——Death, as wo all know, is* so real right now, Sf>Tnp nf face it directly and others through their dear ones. It is an event we all must face some day. It is an event that offers no clue as to the aftermath. No one knows what cornea After. TaitTi during bur life on earth, living close to God wheth er it be through the medium of a church or -under the blue of the sky—whether we labor or whether we rest—it is faith* that keeps fear away and gives us the strength to enter the unknown when our time comes and the door opens for us. What we want to describe in this editorial is what that minister in the little church had to say in an illustration of faith and love of God. It was the story of an Englishman who was a champion cricketeer and who became totally blind be fore his son became old enough to play the same game. The young son developed into even a greater player than his father, but althou^ his father attended the games when the boy played, he could not see him in action. The night before the championship game of the son’s career, the father died, and the rest of the team thinking the captain would not play because of his (father’s death, gave up hope of winning, but on the next afternoon the captain came on the field in his flannels and played one of the greatest games in his whole career and won the championship. After the contest the team and friends gathered around him and asked him how he was able to do it He amswered, looking radiantly happy, that it was simpl^ “because it was the one game my father -cotrfd see nre^Tprlayr’’ — AUCTION SALE—At 941 Broad St, Tuesday, Jan. 4. at 11 a. m.
