Destiny Of Our 'Nation At Stake;
Need Unity Of Labor And Politicians
The destiny of our nation is at stake, The people are demanding
action. They want unity of effort from labor, industry, and politicians.
They want 100 per cent production output of all war materials.
They ask that all bickering and political horse trading be stopped
They ask that all lobbying for special interests and all forms of war
profiteering be banished. They nsk that strikes in all war production
industries be outlawed for the duration. They nsk that war profits
be limited to a legitimate minimum.
They solemnly ask that our boys on the fighting line bo given
a fighter’s chance by being speedily and adequately equipped for de
fense and for offensive war.
If our boys can man our battle lines for 70 cents a day, labor should
man our war production factories at peacetime wages and industry
should produce legitimate profits.
Tell your senators and representatives to get on the job and forget
the coming elections. If we lose this war there will be neither any free
electors nor anything to be elected to.

“Our people are really approaching a dangerous point of restless-
ness over the failure to pass proper legislation," R. E- McBride, presi-
dent of the Brazoria County Development Association, wrote the presi-
dent of the United States the other day.
The letter was sent to the president along with n resolution passed
by the association, to wit:
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BRAZORIA COUNTY DEVELOPMENT
ASSOCIATION
That the President and the Congress be urged to wake up to the
fact that our war effort is being retarded; our nation's safety imperiled;
and our national solvency threatened by conditions which can be rem-
edied by the President and Congress and by them alone.
We therefore plead with you who hold the future of this nation
in your hands to forget politics, forget idealistic dreams, forget every-
thing but winning this war, and to this end, for the duration of the war.
OUTLAW all strikes, walkouts, lockouts or slowdowns in industry
and provide for prompt settlement of all disputes by government media-
tion board. Adopt a “Work or Fight" policy, and jail or shoot all
agitators who interfere with production or stir up trouble.
ABOLISH the closed shop, and nny and all union rules which stand
in the way of quickly getting all the manpower needed to run our plants
168 hours per week. Stop forcing men to join unions or forcing them to
pay some racketeer for the privilege of working anywhere.
SUSPEND all wage and hour laws which tend to slow down or
to render more costly, our all-out production. Place a ceiling on wages,
paying a fair rate, but stop the shameful highjacking of the government
by labor unions, as well as by contractors, causing mounting inflation,
and doubled and tripled costs of war.
LIMIT profits or fixed fees of plant and shipyard owners and con-
tractors, to something like a net 6r; but leave the ownership in private
hands. Taking over by the Government is worst possible solution.
ABOLISH scores of now needless and expensive government bureaus
and projects, invented to help spend ourselves out of the depression,
but which are not needed now, and are definitely impeding our war
effort by tying up men, money and materials which are badly needed
in war production.
OUR WAR RECORD thus far, like Britains’s has been “Too Little
and Too Late” and unless we want these words to head our National
Obituary, we had better forget the big profits, the 40-hour week, the
political machine (which should be used for scrap metal) and roll up
our sleeves and try to save America,
I do hereby certify that the above is a true copy of resolution
adopted unanimously by the 82 members of above Association present
at the regular meeting held on March 17th.
March 17, 1942 Ben L. Cannan, Sec’y.
nr Readers
Keep flying, old flag, keep wav-
ing.
Keep waving by our brave sold-
iers side
Who today are fighting for free-
dom,
For, you, your stars and stripes.
Your colors will come out fade-
less,
Your stars like diamonds will
shine,
For in our hearts each hour is
a prayer,
Just keep flying, old flag, keep
flying.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES
“Reality" is the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon which will be read
in all Churches of Christ, Scientist,
on Sunday, March 29, 1942.
The Golden Text is: “A good man
out of the good treasure of his
heart bringeth forth that which is
good” (Luke 6:46).
Among the citations which com-
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the fol-
lowing from the Bible: “All thy
works shall praise thee, O Lord;
and thy saints shall bless thee. They
shall speak of the glory of thy
kingdom, and talk of thy power;
Keep flying, old flag, keep wav-
ing.
Each dawn of a day draws us
nearer
To the darkest hour of all history,
Your colors will be tested there.
We know you will come out
brightly,
Your colors like diamonds will
shine,
For in our hearts each hour is a
prayer,
Just keep flying, old flag, keep
flying.
—IMrs. Ben Thornton, Route 2,
Bay City.
To make known to the sons of men
his mighty acts, and the glorious
majesty of his kingdom. Thy king-
dom is an everlasting kingdom, and
thy dominion endureth throughout
all generations” (Psalms 145:10-
13).
Tho Lesson-Sermon also includes
the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, “Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip-
tures,” by Mary Baker Eddy: “Lot
us learn of the real eternal, and
prepare for the reign of Spirit, the
kingdom of heaven, the reign and
rule of universal harmony, which
cannot be lost nor remain forever
unseen" (page 208).
All pastors are invited to sup-

IT TAKES
CO-OPERATION..
Fifty years ago no one thought of trying to stimu-
late the industrial growth of a whole region. The
American pioneer spirit took care of everything.
Today, with our country largely settled, it is not
enough to leave our industrial future to nature.
Realizing this, our organization is telling the nation
about the splendid opportunities for war and peace-
time production that are available here in the Gulf
South.
—to work with you, and your local organizations—
and to help build your community and the rest of
the Gulf South area.
The program is designed to co-operate with all other
groups interested in building a greater Gulf joutli
But the job is big—it takes co-operative pulling
power—the co-operation of everyone working
shoulder to shoulder in the interest of the whole
country’s defense and its peacetime progress after
war. All of us in the Gulf South know that only
through close co-operation and unified action can
victory be assured. We deeply appreciate our
responsibilities in this great crisis.
