This Is Everybody’s War—And
Everybody Must Help Finance It
This is everybody’s war—and everybody must help finance it. That
is the gist of a recent statment by Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau in which he pointed to the need for increased purchases by individ-
uals of United States Savings. Bonds.
During the next year, said the Secretary, the nation will probably
have to borrow upwards of $35,000,000,000. And then he made this
pertinent observation: “If the government is compelled to go to the
commercial banks for the bulk of these funds, the result will be to in-
crease inflationary tendencies which are already serious, . . .
“When bonds ore purchased with savings out of current income, on
the other hand, such savings help to reduce excess consumer income
which, if spent for a limited supply of consumer goods, would tend to
force prices up. It is for this reason, among others, that we are going
directly to the people for as much as possible of the money needed for
the war."
The banks cannot do it all—and in the interest of a sound national
economy they should not do it all even if they could. It is the plain duty
,of everyone, out of self-interest if for no other reason, to put every
possible dollar into the bonds which pay for fighting our enemies.
Mr. Morgenthau recommends a wide extension of the payroll sav-
ings plan for bond purchasing. Under it, you simply allot a definite
part of your salary for bonds, precisely as you budget for food, taxes
and everything else. Time is short now'—and it’s up to all of us to buy
bonds to the absolute limit of our financial abilities.
Americans Will Decide Whether
Nation Will Be Forced To Buy Bonds
The American people will decide whether or not the nation will
be forced to adopt and accept compulsory purchasing of War Bonds.
According to Secretary Morgenthau, it will be necessary for us to buy
$1,000,000,000 worth of these bonds each month. If we do that volun-
tarily there will be no need for compulsion. If we don’t, compulsion will
'-he inevitable.
'Some may wonder why the government can’t pay for the war
simply by selling more bonds to banks. Secretary Morgenthau recently
pointed out that excessively heavy bank purchases are inflationary,
“because when commercial banks buy Government Bonds they do not
pay for them with actual cash taken from their vaults, but by placing
on their books newly created deposits to the credit of the government.
When the government draws upon these deposits to pay for the goods
and services it buys, the purchasing power of those to whom these
payments are made is increased without any decrease in the purchasing
power of those from whom the money is borrowed.”
^ Increased purchasing power combined with a decreased supply of
^'ffOUEiS' is the certain road to disastrous inflation. The government
■wants you to buy bonds with every nickel you can spare—and it wants
One of our four freedoms is freedom of speech. It’s one reason
why we. are fighting this war.
The right of the human being to speak and to express himself
is as undeniable as a law of nature. Without it there is no hope fox-
happiness, no promise of progress, no unity of national strength.
Only so long as we can speak out openly and without fear, us in
public meetings so typical of free America, is it possible to consider
important issues or arrive at practicable conclusions affecting public
interest.
It’s the only way a decision agreeable to the majority or a compro-
mise satisfactory to the minority can be determined. This is American,
democratic self-government.

“WE KEEP THE SPOTS”
FRIDAY’S CLEANERS
Are We Looking Too Far Afield?
We Must Do One Of Two Things
Faced with a distressed shortage of farm labor through the coming
season, it is up to every person of Bay City and Matagorda County to
do one of two things.
(1) Recognize a personal responsibility, devise a definite plan, and
shoulder his share in the task and see that it’s done; or
(2) Just rock along and let "Something” happen, refuse to cooperate
because nobobdy wants to do it your way, and talk a lot and do nothrng.
Here are five sources of supply in Matagorda County, that ran be
drawn on to almost, if not altogether, meet our demand if we can just
get rid of a few time worn prejudices and selfish practices.
(1) Utilize all the farm labor in the County all the time. There are
approximately 1,900 farms in the County, If they average one laborer
to the farm, and we know they average more than that, and if they
have one-eighth of their time in which they are either idle or engaged
in non-essential, non-productive work and if they and their employers
will make them available to neighboring farms for essential productive
work, that will be equivalent to about 230 full-time workers.
(2) Requisition the WPA labor of the county. There are about
162 certified WPA workers in the county. Arrangements have been
made whereby these men, any one or all of them can be requisitioned
by any private employer at any time he needs them, and they must
accept the private employment offered at a legitimate wage, to retain
their eligibility for Public Employment.
(3) Use the “odd job” men in and around town. There are ap-
proximately 50 men and boys in the Community who are engaged en-
tirely in mowing lawns, trimming hedges, raking leaves, and the like.
This work can wait through the critical demands of the farm needs.
(4) Enlist the high school boys 14 to 17. There are 921 high school
boys in the County from 14 years of age to 17. They ore neither lazy,
trifling or “sissy.” If only 1/3 of them can be enlisted that’s 300.
(5) Make use of the workers from the fishing industries in the
County during idle seasons. During the peak season of shrimp and
oyster fishing at Palacios there are close to 600 workers employed there
most of whom live in or adjacent to Palacios. At least one half of
these can be used in farm work, or 300 workers.
A review of these figures prove their conservativeness. The work-
ability of the plan will depend on the conviction and cooperation of
every body concerned. Farmers must not be selfish in hoarding labor.
If you can spare your help a day or a week make it known and let him
work for your neighbors, to come back to you when you need him.
Get away from the idea that only a certain kind of laborer can do your
work. Of course, you’d like to have a six footer that weighs 200
pounds who can stand flat footed and throw a sack of rice over the
truck, but remember, our boys fought on Bataan and Corregidor and
Wake Island, with out-moded equipment and diminishing supplies. Can
we afford to “gum-up” the supply line of food and fiber just because
we can’t get the best in our labor needs.
Let your lawns go “for the duration” if necessary. I have an idea
the boys in the “fox holes” didn’t get to shave as often as they wanted
to or needed to. We cannot afford to make our lawns or even our rose
gardens more important.
Now two things that are necessary to set the plan to work: (1)
Pledge your willingness to cooperate if you are in any of the catagories
of supply, (2) Make your needs known if you are on the demand end.
The United States Employment Service can and will handle the details.
The writer will arrange, by appointment, to meet any group and
explain the details and workability of this plan.

Wharton Slave
Dies At Uvalde
At Age Of 96
Funeral services were held last
week for Ben Kinchlow, 96, who
was born in slavery in 'Wharton
County in 1846. Kinchlow’s mother
was liberated in Mexico when he
wns one-year-old.
He had spent his entire life in
Mexico and Southwest Texas work-
ing principally on ranches. At an
eurly age he acted as unofficial
guide for Captain McNelly’s com-
pany of Texas Rangers who were
engaged in running down cattle
thieves along the border.
Later, while working for various
ranchmen he made several trips up
the Chisholm Trail with cattle.
Kinchlow died in Uvalde and was
believed to be Uvalde County’s old-
est resident.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES
“Ancient and Modern Necrom-
ancy, Alins Mesmerism and Hypo-
tism. Denounced” is the subject of
the Lesson-Sermon which will be
read in all Churches of Christ,
Scientist, on Sunday, May 31.
The Golden Text is: “The idols
have spoken vanity, and the divin-
ers have seen a lie, and have told
false dreams; they comfort in vain”
(Zcchariah 10:2).
Among the citations which com-
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the fol-
lowing from the Bible: “Submit
yourselves therefore to God. Resist
the devil, and he will flee from you.
. . . Humble yourselves in the
sight of the Lord, and he shall lift
you up” (James 4:7, 10).
The 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:
“Christians must take up arms
against error at home and abroad.
They must grapple with sin in
themselves and in others, and con-
tinue this warfare until they have
finished their course. If they keep
the faith ,they will have the crown
of rejoicing” (page 29).
