David Keith Bid,, Dial SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, FRIDAY, April 24, 1942 Victory 'Camel-Bac- k' Tires for Congress i vi J!u J Here are members of the house interstate commerce committee as they inspected 18 retread tires developed under a new process which will provide immediate solution to America's tire problem. The tires, called "Victory Camel-Back,- " were made under government supervision with five pounds of reclaimed scrap rubber and two ounces of crude rubber. Elliot E. Simpson of New York, an independent rubber dealer, presented the tires. Shown, left to right, are Elliott E. Simpson, Rep. Clarence F. Lea of California, who is chairman of the committee, and Rep. P. G. Holmes of Massachusetts. WmTSeWar Or Perish There is no middle ground; eitherwe win the war,internally and in foreign iields or the sun of our civilization goes down to rise on a long, dark age. Stand up for the last best hope. congress solidly behind the president in the war effort. No but victory complete and appeasement, no premature peace, final. GOODvr FOR THEEPUBLICANS We rejoice at the action of the Republican NationaliCom-mitte- e, coming out squarely against isolation and for world cooperation, and a pledge to support the war effort until a decisive v.ctory is1 acheived. That' puts both parties and IT MIGHT BE DYNAMITE, GOVERNOR You are right, Governor Maw, on the matter of burocracy hut it would be more appropriate in a time of peaee. In this time of war there might be dynamite in the stand you take. In the great crisis before us there must be a unity of effort between the government and the states. Anything short of this would be bad. If each state was going its own way and not in harmony with the federal set up it would be difficult to carry on. EDITORIALS Bankers Then And Now The big bankers of today are quite different from the moneychangers confronted bv.Iesus in the temple at Jerusalem In those days they were uncouth, d, coarse, and unskil-led in the art of concealing their greed and lust for gain, while today the most prominent ones in the .piofession look much like saints, educated, smiling and affable, and highly skilled in all the arts of money-gettin- g and money-lendin- g, to whom, as the people are told, it is a special pri-vilege to pay interest and profit. Suppose that Jesus should confront the leading money-lender- s of today. Would He do or say anything different from what He did and said to them of old time? Hardly. He would say:"C me out of the temples of my people and cease your oppression and exploitation of the poor. For all too long you have robbed the widow and the orphan and the toiler. You must not longer make my father's house (this land) a den of thieves. Away with you. The getting and hoarding of money is not the proper mission for men. Give of what you have to help save the poor, and come and follow me. My people are crying for service, for sympathy, for love and comradeship. They want the abundance and good tidings I promised them. Repent and come unto me before my judgements destroy you and your system. If you do not repent I hen what I have spoken in Mathew 24 shall be fulfilled upon your heads and you may later find yourselves lifting up your eyes in places of torment." Personal Items The Democrats made a dood deal of noise last Saturday and they perfected a very good county organization. Af rer Att'y General Grover Giles had made a perfect nomin ating speech for county chair-man McGean a good Democat said to another, "He's one of the best attorneys in the U.S " Calvin Rawling.Regionai Di-rector of the Western States, made a speech second only to that of Senator Tunnel's key-note effort. He sure made a hit when he told this story: When Glen Howe went to leave for the convention his wife said: "I'm going to entertain so please step into Sears and get a few notions." Arriving at Sears he went to the best looking la-dy clerk and asked: "Do you have notions?" She looked bim over and replied: "Well, yes, but not during working hours." Captain C. R. Payne of the Public Relations Section, U. S. Marines, San Francisco, and Stf. Sqt. J P. Young Jr. of 230 Federal Bldg:, this city, visited our office one day last week to thank us for our cooperation. Finer fellows never stood up iuarmy shoes They are a great credit lo the cause. The critics who are letting hate eat out their heart, should look in-to the face of Captain Payne for a few minutes.

"I believe in Cooperatives," declared Congressman Jerry Voorhis, "because I know the economic problems that have been destroying democracy and freedom in other countries must be solved. . before constitu-tion- al democracy will be safe. Because I know that private monopoly in industry and especially in finance means the end of free enterprise and has been the'-e- ry basis upon which Nazi and Fascist dictatorships have been built in other countries. Last Days of Petain's Political Power f iJ Vw This picture from Vichy, France, shows Marshal Henri Petain, now a fading political figure, as he visited a country fair and patted a prize sheep. Ascendant in the political firmament is Pierre Laval, advocate of even closer between Vichy and Hitler. BRIEF DEFENSE FACTS Charles R. Mabey, State Administrator, pays a high trib-ute to the patriotismof Utah people in the rural areas because they are investing more heavily in bonds than their city cousins. Up to date the government has dispersed more than $23,000,000,000 in the war effort. An additional $10,000,000 workers will be needed in war production this year.

WHAT IF JAPAN WERE CHRISTIAN? j Some years ago the Japenese officials sent a commission to the Christian nations of the West to find out and report whether Christianity was a religion which they could adopt as a state religion. The commission returned dissapointed and reported that they found such discrepancy between the practise and the profession of Christianity that they were unable to recommend it. Suppose they had accepted it would they have done differently than what they have? To accept the Christinity of the world as lived today and to accept the pure and undefiled religion of Jesus are two very different things The Why of Our Trouble The trouble with the world before Ar- - j mageddon began was that man had aban- - j doned God. He was sick with the raging I fever of uncontrolled materialism which j j had cankered his soul. Neither good- - ness nor evil had any meaning. The best j I standards were torn-down- . Church and j j religion were virtually meaningless. He was looking at mud and money instead ! of looking at light and the stars. It was forgotten that man was a spiritual being and that spiritual values are the only real values. So it looks like God has aband-oned man and is letting him revert to the brute. Not so It is man that has turn ed away from God and now he is paying j the price. He is spiritually bankrupt. j OLD AGE REORGANIZATION The Old Age Pension Organization has reorganized as fol-lows: R. H. Siddoway, Pres John F Loper and P. F. Pet-erson, Vice presidents, C. V. Hansen, Sec, E. Davis, Trea Cornelia Johnson, Organizer. .As long as the organization lives it will owe a big debt to the retiring president Paul H. Allrcd. He has done a commedatory work. A NAME FOR THE WAR Neighbor J. A. Hess has thought out a name for the pres-ent war and forwarded it to the president. He calls it The War Against Wickedness. This is a very good and appropriate name and covers a multitude .of , meanings. Utah people should help him get the name adopted as it willjjhelp to ad-vertise the state. Orators and writers can find plenty of material fofeloquent talks in the deep meanings ofithat name. Jones Tells Congress About Rubber .... m S- - iiwwWiWWM v ' 1 - I '. $ t i M.
