Hoover Declares Hitler Can’t Be Whipped
By Starving Children in Occupied Countries
New York, Oct. 19.—The Germans
will not lose this war from a shor
tage of food, Herbert Hoover said to
night in an appeal for the American
government to lead the way in feed
ing millions of starving children in
Nazi-invaded democracies of Europe.
In an address prepared for a na
tionwide (mutual) broadcast (7 p. m.,
EST), the former president declared:
“I do not believe it would make the
partment in discussing congressional
action last spring on initiating nego
tiations for an international solution.
He said the resolution was signed by
senators, endorsed by a majority of
the house members and backed by
some 6,000 public organizations. De-
slightest difference in the military daring the resolution represented the
a. . . i- n ' ; C 1 *- OA AAA AAA
outcome of this war if we assured
food to the needy among the whole
40,000,000 democratic children in Eu
rope. And eminent soldiers agree
with me.”
Hoover, chairman of the National
Committee on Food for the Small
Democracies, struck at the state de-
INDUSTRY
.... and The Farm
The wheels of our great industries are turning
unceasingly and much is in the press about the
great output of war materials — materials designed
to insure the American way of life.
. . . And while industry is all-important,
there is another factor in our defense effort about
which you hear little, but without which our de
fense efforts would be worthless.
. . . We speak of course of the farmers
of America-those who feed and clothe the na
tion.

voice of at least 20,000,000 people,
Hoover added:
“Surely such an expression of Am
erican compassion deserves more ade
quate attention from our government
than to be dismissed by a curt letter
from our state department.”
Regarding responsibility for the
food shortage, Hoover said:
“It is not enough to plead interna
tional law. I agree Germany has the
moral responsibility to feed them.
There is a vague legal responsinflity.
But the overpowering fact is Ger
many does not, as the result of the
blockade, have the kind of Aiod
needed for these women and children.
“They will not feed them. That
stark fact faces the world. And these
helpless people cannot eat morals and
international law.
“Those Americans who deny moral
responsibility cannot deny the obliga
tions of compassion and the self-int
erest in the future of civilization. Is
Lutherans to Observe
Reformation Sunday
At the morning service next Sun
day, October 26, ail the Lutheran
churches in the county will hold Re
formation Festival services. The
membership of the several congrega
tions are urged to help make it a
great day by attending if at all pos
sible. The general public is cordially
invited to these celebrations.
The pastors have elected to speak
on the same theme: “The Timelessmess
and the Timeliness of the Principles
of the Reformation.” The great
Reformation hymns will be sung and
the offering for the day will be de
voted to the cause of ministerial edu
cation in connection with the Theolo
gical Seminary at Columbia.
The Reformation which began in
Europe, principally in Northern Eu
rope, on October 31, 1517, when Doc
tor Martin Luther, a Catholic monk,
became deeply concerned about the
question of true repentance of the
sinner and the sure ground of ever
lasting salvation from sin, nailed his
now famous Ninety-five Theses to the
door of the Castle Church in Witten
berg, Germany. This he did with no

ments in and out of Sweden and to
permit Turkey to send food to Greece.
“Suppose the Western democracies
should place this problem in the hands
of some one of the neutral govern
ments of Europe for solution,” Hoov
er said. “Suppose that neutral govern
ment was not able to make a sitisfac-
tory agreement with the German gov
ernment. Then an effort would have
been made which at least demonstrat
ed the compassion and solicitude of
the Western world. There would be
no hate stored against America for
failure.
“Suppose the Germans did make
«uch an agreement a nd should subse
quently violate it, then at once the
effort would be stopped. If they seiz
ed all the stocks of imported food
they would not have secured a day’s
ration for Germany. And again the
Western democracies would have dem
onstrated their ideals to the world.”
The former president declared a
survey of Belgium showed “the short
age in meats, fats and milk is crucify
ing the children” and the situation in
Warsaw was so bad that “the munici
pal- newspaper was appealing to che
people not to throw the corpses in
the streets.”
LAND OF COTTON AND
LIVESTOCK
OF
By A. L. WARD
—
“More pigs on every cotton farm”
may soon become the slogan of the
Cotton Belt, as national defense needs
for increased pork production focus at
tention on the opportunity pf the
South to raise more swine for home
needs and for sale.
With the South’s cotton furnishing
cottonseed meal to reduce costs of the
essential protein supplement in bal
anced rations for swine, many Cot
ton Belt farmers can produce pork
economically and efficiently, along
with their other farm operations.
That the South needs more swine to
meet present food requirements is
evident from a comparison of hog
numbers today with those of 25 years
ago, when similar conditions existed
here and abroad. Department of Ag
riculture figures show that eleven ma
jor cotton-growing states reported
11,684,000 swine on January 1, 1941,
as compared with 18,457,000 on Janu
ary 1, 1916. This is a decrease of
733,000 head (more than one-third re
duction in hogs,) although the same
states have far more cattle and sheep
than they did 25 years ago.
Well-bred animals, careful, sani
tary management, and efficient feeding
are all highly important for success
ful swine production, authorities point
out. Good pastures are especially
desirable to save grain feeding, pro
vide vitamins and exercise, reduce di
sease and parasites, increase rates o’’
gain and lower costs of gain.
“The use of a good protein supple
ment will do more to cut costs than
any other item,” J. S. Robinson, Ten
nessee Extension swine husbandinan,
recently pointed out, adding that corn
is a poor feed when fed alone.
“A combination of one-half high
grade cottonseed meal and one-half
tankage is one of the best supplement**
to corn for pigs that are on pasture,”
he continued. ‘“For pigs'not on pas
ture, some bright legume hay should
be added, either by feeding in racks
or by grinding and mixing with the
supplement.”
By utilizing such practical informa
tion as this, along with rations avail
able from experiment stations, coun
ty agents and others. Southern farm
ers can take advantage of today’s op
portunity to increase pork production.
Department of Agriculture tests of
cottonseed hull insulation prove that
a 3 5-8 inch thinkness of hulls in
ceilings of three-room farm houses
result in an average fuel saving of
16 to 25 per cent, depending upon the
amount of heat loss through walls and
doors.

tion with the universal practice of
granting indulgences from the conse
quences of sin. Luther could find no
assurances for the deepest need of his
soul in the methods of forgiveness
practised in his day. He sincerely
tried them all, and when he was un
able to find peace of mind and soul he
fell back upon the assurances of sim
ple faith in God’s mercy in the Lord
Jesus Christ, a s was clearly taught in
the Holy Scriptures, especially in the
Epistles of St. Paul in the New Testa
ment. This he also found had been
taught by many of the Church’s great
est Fathers and theologians, from
whom the Church at that time had
departed.
When, after many years and much
labor, his positions on the teachings
of the Word of God were rejected by
the authorities of his Church, he and
those who held with him were forced
to break with the Church of Rome.
Summoned to the famous Diet of
Worms, 1521, before the Emperor
Charles V of the Holy Roman Em
pire and the dignitaries of the Church
for the purpose of retracting and
denying his writings, he refused to do
so on the grounds that it was not safe
to act contrary to his conscience
which was bound by the Word of God.
His final answer to the Emperor was,
“Here I stand; I can do no otherwise 1
God help me, Amen.” Here was born
freedom of conscience in religion and
in time the Protestant Church. Join
ed later by Ulrich Zwingli and John
Calvin in Switzerland and other re
formers in Netherland and England,
Protestantism spread over western
Europe and at length came to Am
erica.
Herein lay the roots of western de
mocracy, for which we are so concern
ed in 1941. It is of the principles of
that Reformation that the pastors will
speak next Sunday.
