When War Starts Debates Must Stop
BY SPECTATOR
When war starts debates must
stop. We may argue until fighting
begins, then all must fight together.
Japan deliberately attacked 1 our air
and naval stations in Hawaii and
Guam. Even while the attacks were
being made, Japan’s ambassador was
in our State Department discussing
problems between the two nations.
Japan’s attack was unprovoked; her
airplanes and submarines made long
trips in order to attack us. It was
not a case of attacking an American
ship in Japanese waters; the Japs
assumed an attitude of aggression
and attacked our naval an dair sta
tions.
Americans can have but one atti
tude now: we are a united people in
the defense of our flag.
The Japanese attack was a dast
ardly affair of treachery. Of course
we should be glad that the Japs
showed their hand's. Certainly Ame
rica is now aroused and determined
to give the Japanese the beating
they have needed for a whole gen
eration.

Treasurer Newberry County.
When real war starts it dwarfs
everything else in the popular mind
and all differences disappear as the
manhood and womanhood of the na
tion resolve quietly but invincibly
that those American soldiers who
died in service will not have died in
vain and the treacherous affront to
our flag shall be dealt with by the
full power of our great nation.
The Germans can’t replace the
men they lose. Tanks, shells, guns,
ships—all those things can be re
placed. But the German soldier who
dies is an irreplaceable entity in
that marvellous war machine which
Hitler has built to conquer the
world. Even millions of Italians,
Rumanians and Bulgarians may be
drawn into battle, but when Hitler
loses a German 'he suffers a loss
which nothing repairs. Except the
Finns, Hitler has no great fighting
allies in the field. Even Germany

Every farmer would do well. I
think, to sow some wheat, as well as
oats, raise a few hogs, have a garden
and plan his living .so as to buy as
little as possible. Things are go
ing to be higher and the farmer’s
dollar will go farther if he can hold
it longer.
I am not holding out the glories,
profits and thrills of diversification
for market. That is a fine theory,
but our lack of marketing facilities
doesn’t make it always profitable.
At any rate I am on sure ground
when I tell my brethren of the soil
that a chicken on the farm doesn’t
cost as much as one which is bought
in town, or even from a neighbor.
We are inclined to be a wee bit
wasteful and our wastefulness is
utilized by the chickens. Likewise it
can be proved' on paper that a farmer
can buy his flour for less than he
can grow wheat. One big difference
is that we must have money in the
pocket in order to buy flour. Does
that seem to be economically wrong?
Well, life’s like that.
I can figure it out conclusively
that it will pay a farmer to buy
hundreds of doliars of machinery and
all tbe gas and oil they require. If I
can’t prove it, the salesman can. He
can figure it all out; man-hours,
machine-hours, mule-hours, the price
of corn against the price of gasoline
—and all the joy of sitting high up
on an easy spring seat (and deep
cushion) as compared with pulling
the bell cord' up and down the fur
row and crying gee and haw.
Corn and hay are highly esteemed
by my mules, though it is hard to
find a buyer. Never yet has a mule
of mine gone on strike because the
hay and corn, did not come up to
specifications. And they like the
com as well when it is worth only
twenty cents a bushel as when it
brings one dollar on the market.
I am not urging the production of
sweet potatoes for market; let some
body else do that; but any farmer
can dispose of all the sweet potatoes
be can .produce on an acre. The farm
family can consume many a bushel,
for sweet potatoes can be served in
at least twenty-three recipes. That
was proved by Miss Carrie Carson,
the Home Demonstration Agent of
Clarendon County in the notable ex
hibits on Potato Day two years ago.
Then the cows and hogs like sweet
potatoes, not to mention those mules
of nice and discriminating taste.
The little side crops, such as sweet
potatoes, will help feed all the fam
ily and the stock, leaving some “ex
tra specials” for sale in town, if and
when you try to sell. But don’t
worry about the sales; convert all
that you can for home consumption.
for the turkey hash and turkey soup
each man will probably be able to
take care of himself.
I have never understood why farm
labor, farm rents, farm prices,
should be cheap, that is cheaper than
such things sell for even in Htt’e ag
ricultural towns. Why a man driving
nails should receive three times as
much as a man plowing a mule is a
mystery to me. It isn’t a case of
greater skill, though some will say
so. Why should just any Tom, Dick
and Harry get two dollars a day for
sitting on a barrel head, while a man
plowing into the soil the very sweat
of his body receives much less I
can’t fathom. It’s all Greek to me.
Why should one kind of food of no
special nutritive value be worth
pi ore than eggs from the farm? Of
course, if I pursue this topic logically
my friends of the W.C.T.U. will ask
why a quart of “likker” commands a
price equal to ten thousand gallons
of pure, invigorating, sparkling
water? Is the water too cheap?
Perhaps it’s all a difference due to
advertising, just as the duck egg is
not highly esteemed because the
duck is too modest (or ignorant) to
advertise. It may be that the duck
has an inferiority complex. But that
sort of complex won’t conquer the
world. The hen, on the other hand,
with loud boasting and grandilo
quent strut, advertises to the world,
and all the world pays her tribute.
If we would say “Hey, I’ve got some
real water,” and carry it about in
handsome containers, perhaps we
could popularize the grand old elixir
of life. If you should go where the
water is bad you would really value
a gallon of ordinary water above a
gallon of fire-water.
After all is said and done, when a
man plans to move his family to a
new place he asks “How about the
Water?” Never does he make pain
staking inquiries like this: “How’s
the hooch around here?”'

The war may absorb our attention,
but our farmers will need help just
the some. Congress has before it a
bill to help the cotton planters, for
example, on this basis: if a farmer
normally produces 200 lbs. of lint
per acre and this year produced 60
lbs. he will be helped on the basis
of 50 lbs. per acre shortage, the idea
being that 100 lbs. at 16 to 18 cents
is the equivalent in money of 200 lbs.
in ordinary circumstances. If the
farmer produced only 50 lbs. he is
supposed to have suffered a loss of
50 lbs., or about one bale on ten
acres. Some farmers have suffered
much more, of course.
What prospect is there to pay taxes
in the counties when the farm income
is so deeply cut? That brings the
question whether the State should
help the taxpayers in the counties.
Some have argued against that,
making the point that this abundant
revenue of the State will be only tem
porary. I concede that. Of course it
is temporary, but what of it? To
leave a surplus in the treasury would
be ideal, but we have no assurance
of a surplus remaining untouched.
What happened when we had our
most recent surplus? Well, the state
went on a building spree for the col
leges. Has it “sobered up” yet? That
is inconceivable. Even now we find
a raise for teachers coming from the
present stream of gold to the State.
No one can foretell or foresee what
might attract the fancy of the mo
ment and swallow up all the dollars
in sight, with a program tacked on
which would require an equal num
ber of dollars every year (or more
dollars) unless or until a smash
should come and level us to the
ground again.
Some of our friends don’t like to
think about collapses and disasters,
recession®, deflations, and depres
sion®. I agree heartily that we should
be cheerful and optimistic, but I
don’t see the wisdom of closing one’s
eves to facts. The farmer who made
100 lbs of lint cotton to the acre may
walk about whistling gay tunes and
singing like a lark, but that won’t
operate to increase that 100 lbs. of
lint.
One need not be an apostle of
gloom, but one should use one’s
intelligence intelligently. We can
prevent collapses, I think, by intelli
gent planning, not by chirping like
a canary. •
