Our Country Right or Wrong DIRTY BUSINESS ' The aid and comfort given our enemies by Axis agents who may destroy a unit of some industry, or by strikers who close whole in- dustries, is the'same except the strikers give infinitely more aid. Strikes in 1943 almost doubled the aver- age for the 15-year period preceding our en- try into war, and totaled 3,737, or, 13,947,273 man-days. It is difficult to understand the spirit that moves men to such desertion on their posts of duty, often for the most trivial reasons, except there is no protection in this country for a man who wishes to work con- trary to a strike order. :-i ' It's dirty business,- and no adequate excuse STARDUST and MOONSHINE By THE OTHER FELLOW A lot.oi p,-orp- feel sorta, sorry f'. or ,the~.wy their grandiparenit used to itvge but -it's hard for me to get myself worked up and feel- ing sorry for 'em.

CONGRESS MUST BE 'BLOC' BUSTER The congress of the United States is made up, in the main, of hard working,-sincere men who have the best interests of the nation at heart. During .the past decade, congress ha- been subjected to reprehensible pressurv- group ,attacks. Organizations representing "blocs" of citizens, and professing to speak ,for such voting groups, put pressure on con- gressmen to force through class legislation. Such practices, unless curbed, will be the ruination of any country. Organization leacd- ership should raise its sights. Congress should not be subjected to high pressure coercion. Special pleaders for pressure groups have sought to make this a country of special privileges for minorities at The expense of the majorities. If we want to perpetuate, our republic o. the basis of liberty and opportunity for all, it is high time that when we go before ouT lawmakers with our problems we show more than a mere desire to feather our own nest. For, after all, the best nest feathering each one of us can do is to help perpetuate con- stitutional government in the United States. -not government by bloc coercion and vote control. -, --i,,-; :' ', *! ,.*?.
