TRUE TO OURSELVES, OUR NEIGHB ORS, OUR COUNTRY AND OUR GOD.
Forty-Second "Year
Established June 5. 1902 virdOKMICK, S. C. f THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1943
Number 21
Washington, D. C., Oct. 25.—
(NWNS)—With all eyes on the
Moscow conference, at- which the
foreign ministers of the Allied
nations will attempt to. formulate
broad outlines for post-war ac
tion, it becomes increasingly clear
that our country, as yet, has no
definite postwar policy.
It is true that congress has
spent many hours debating this
subject, but the resolutions passed
were so innocuous that they add
be acceptable for the treatment
of Germany and Japan.
In our congress there is still
a sizable group which will work
for a return to strict isolationism
after the war while other mem
bers will fight for active partici
pation of our nation in some form
of league of nations. But the ma
jority in both houses would pre
fer not to take a definite stand
on the subject at present—and
as the 1944 election gets closer
practically no light to our stand, they will be less inclined to do so.
The house resolution, passed af- However, the presidential candi-
ter months of study, read:
“Resolved by the house of repre
sentatives (the senate concurring)
that the congress hereby ex
presses itself as favoring the cre
ation of appropriate international
machinery with power adequate to
establish and to maintain a just
and lasting peace amongst the
nations of the world, and as fa
voring participation by the United
States therein, through its con
stitutional processes.”
That resolution would indicate
that the house does not favor
strict isolationism following the
war, but it gives no indication
of how far we would go * toward
subscribing to an international
police force, whether we would
favor boundary changes and what
methods we would prescribe for
dealing with enemy nations after
they have been conquered.
The fact that President Roose
velt, Prime Minister Churchill and
Premier Stalin issued a joint
statement agreeing to permit the
Italian people to choose their
own form of government after
the Germans have been driven
put of Italy indicates that the
Allies are more or less agreed on
.a pattern for dealing with “lib-
, crated” countries, but it is ob
vious that such a plan would not
dates for 1944 will undoubtedly
be forced to give their views on
our future international relations.
The extension debate in the
senate on the draft of fathers is
believed % to have done considerable
good by putting the limelight on
the large number of single and
married men without children
who have been excused from mili
tary service because of govern
ment jobs or replaceable jobs in
industry. As a result of this,
most draft boards will reconsider
those they have deferred before
taking many fathers.
As a result of the strikes of.
coal miners, following the return
of the mines to their owners, plus
the four-day strike of shipyard
workers in New Jersey, congress
men are once again talking about
the need for stronger \ anti-strike
legislation. But this subject has
come up so many times without
any strong action being taken
that it is doubtful that any curbs
will be passed now.
Observers here see congress’ un
willingness to heed the will of
- v»e people by enacting more dras
tic curbs over labor as indicating

Many Farmers Are
Adopting Systematic
War Savings Program
“For their country and them
selves many farmers of McCor

said G. J. Sanders, Jr., County

man. “They are saving the great
est amount possible from every
sale of their products by investing
this money in War Bonds,” Mr.
Sanders continued with satisfac
tion.
“Salaried people find it easier
to buy War Bonds on the pay
roll allotment plan. Farmers will
likewise find it easier. if they fol
low the practice of saving a
specified amount from the sale of
each bale of cotton, each head of
cattle or hogs, and each unit of
every other product which they
sell.
“McCormick County farmers are
wise who decide upon a definite
savings rate for each product sold
and then buy War Bonds accord
ing to production. Reserves will
be accumulated more rapidly and
with greater ease if this plan is
followed. At the same time farm
ers will be contributing toward
prosecution of everybody’s war.
