I 1 t ill J , i Miners who wrest necessary metals from Mother Earth. , Without them the war effort would collapse. i The miners who mine the metals ; are just as much a part of the war ; effort as the men who operate the i machines and shoot the bullets. i Without the unarmed underground i soldiers, the armed soldiers would be helpless against the enemy in i warfare. So, patriotism begins un- - derground where the vital sinues of warfare are wrested from Mother Earth. t I Within the Allied nations nature endowed Mother Earth with an I abundance of raw materials. In J fact the Allied nations control the j greatest supply of natural resources in the world and the Axis nations are striving to wrest these from them. These natural resources there fore will be a determining factor in the winning of the war. If the United Nation use them so as t adequately supply their soldiers at the fronts, there is little chance of the Axis capturing such resources. The United Nations have the man-power to wage unlimited warfare, but until recently there has been a tendency to neglect the develop- ment of some of our resources. During the first half year produc- tion of lead and zinc in Utah de-clined 15 per cent, and the produc-tion of the copper was not suffi-cient to meet the war needs. A number of quick adjustments are now being made with a view of remedying this situation. Mine workers who have been taken into the armed forces are being given furloughs to return to the mines. Decisions on waga adjustments and metal prices are also in the offing. FreeEnterprisersareDeceiving (Golden grams of Truth. Read, study, think, and unite.

What Do They Mean by "Free Enterprise?" Too Many Mean Profit and Exploitation By SCOTT NEARING Federated Press "FTee enterprise" is one slogan with which big business spokes-men end every appeal to the pub-lic. It is likewise among the free-doms that political leaders are promising to defend. But neither businessmen nor politicians explain what they mean by free enter-prise. Free enterprise economy has reached a ripe old age in Holland, France and the British Isles. It Is somewhat younger but not much sturdier in the U. S. During its lifetime it has passed through 4 stages that may be compared roughly to the childhood, youth, maturity and old a,ge of human beings. Stage 1. European craftsmen and traders broke away from the restrictions imposed by feudal lords and guilds. North Americans chopped and dug their way into the wilderness. It was almost but not quite every man for himself. In North America particularly the free enterpriser .had to work or starve. Stage 2. Free enterprise econ-omy was firmly established among craftsmen, traders and some farm-ers. Big European estates and big American plantations were worked by serfs and slaves, but millions of little men engaged competitively in agriculture, manufacture, trans-port, finance and trade. Stage 3. The more enterprising, aggressive, greedy and unscrupu-lous little men crushed or swallow-ed their competitors and grew big. They incorporated their business-es, and through land ownership. - franchises and patents established partial monopolies until a few powerful industrial trusts, rail-roads, banks, department and chain stores and mail order houses employing millions of men and women wage-earne- rs controlled the bulk of the business. There were still little businessmen but big business dominated. Stage 4. The leaders of big busi-ness got their lawyers and other agents into government posts and obtained tariffs, franchises, sub-sidies and tax exemptions. When this relief failed to pull free enter-prise monopolies through depres-sions, businessmen and politicians linked government and business to-gether and ran both from the same set of offices. The economy of every industrial country in Europe and North America has reached Stage 4. The youthful free enterprise of com-petition has aged into a joint mo-nopoly of big business and govern-ment. When the National Association of Manufacturers advocates free enterprise, does it mean to give up land, franchise and patent monop-olies, inter-tru- st agreements and contracts with big businessmen across the frontiers? Does it pro-pose to unscramble huge organ-izations into a multitude of little, independent concerns? Not for a moment. It demands freedom to continue its monopolies. Free enterprise in the sense of an opportunity for young men and women to set themselves up and manufacture, transport and trade on their own has reached a dodder-ing old a,ge in large sections of western economy, r Social Security That Secures They See a Light In England A great light is shining through the dark war clouds in old England. It is the new Social Security proposal for all the common people the best yet proposed by man for bis fellows. We are happy and thankful that we have lived to see ti e day of such a proposal and we shall devote our remaining days to bringing it and even better things to our country It is the dream, in part at least! of the prophets and Saviours and Re-deemers beginning to come down from the high horizons to dwell among men. It is Justice coming down from the high ores and a ground-swellin- g revelation to the people down under. Do not oppose it you wealthy who live in palaees and luxury for it is God's hand trying to lift His people up to the place you have denied them. Truth is marching on! hard on the heels of Field Marshall Erwin Rommel He says: "He is Lieut. Gen. Bernard Law Montgomery, a two fiste ard-fighting, non drinking veteran of the World War and of campaigns in Palestine India, Mesopo-tamia and Flanders " If drink is so essential to the winning of wars, one wonders why a treat commanding officer should place special emphasis upon the fact that he neither smokes smokes nor drinks. In spite of all the contentions that liquor should be permitted in military establisments to insure the morale of the soldiers and officers the fact still remains that C. V. Hansen Says There are those who maintain that the soldiers need liquor to stimulate them. But here comes an Associated Press re-porter telling about the British commanding officer, then They're All Out For Victory At Utah Copper , V ' .if . , . .,1' a r , , i r , . " rX,t ' : - i - . ,: ' ' ' - "i ' ' . I i Top is an Army-Nav- photo of flag awarded Utah Copper for ex-cellence in war production. Below: two of the hundreds of men who helped to win the award and were given "E" pins. "Thanks for doing an outstanding Job." This, in effect, is what the Army and Navy said to the Utah Copper Company in awarding this company the coveted joint army-nav- "E" in recognition for outstanding per-formance of war work. Company officials wore informed of the award last month, and 'E'' pins were presented to mine and mill workers on Oct. 12. "The Utah Copper company and Its employes are delighted at this recognition of their production ef-forts which have broken all previ-ous records in furnishing copper to the nation for prosecution of the war," said D. D. Moffat, vice presi-dent and general manager. The accomplishment of the Utah Copper company is unique in the annals of mining. Beset by the dif-ficulties that arise in the transition of a nation from peace to war, the Utah Copper has continued orf its sturdy, and has increased produc1 tion to a point that was believed impossible a few years ago. This is a tribute to each and ev-ery employee and to the manage-ment and the office workers. All have combined their efforts as one unit with one purpose in view, and that is to produce enough copper to win the war. Utah .Copper's record Is an ex- - ample of the American way, the way which will soon signal the de-feat of the axis. It is the volun-tary will to work to meet an ob-jective, coupled with a desire to preserve freedom of individual ac-tion which accomplishes great things and which has made Utah Copper truly the "World's Greatest Mine." The state of Utah and its people are proud that it has such an en-terprise and that those workers and officials are accomplishing so much to add to what other indus-tries and people are doing through-out the state so that Liberty shall not perish from the earth. y They Say Anti-Chri- st Is Yet to Come We are of the opinion that the present struggle in the world is between Christ and Anti-Chri-st and that the latter is about as well exemplified as he can be. But there are those who claim he is yet to come, and that when he does come he will make Hitler look like two bits. Students of the Bible have long ago predicted the rise of all time's most cruel, vicious arA 2?1S'uiru' man a demon-obsesse- d dictator. The scriptures geption in ' , names. Besides Anti-Chri- st he is called and deceitful man, the wicked ono, rod of God's anger, the destroyer, the beast the cruel one, etc. They say he is living now but his rulership is future. They furthersay that he will make the awful things of the present day look like play. Until further proof of the above is forthcoming we shall believe that this Anti-Chri- st is doing his work right now and if he does not live to finish it then one of the men close to him will finish it. .... w - ....

Food has gone forth to heavily bombed places and many workers have labored dilligently. Also money. This is fine. "Inasmuch as you have dene it unto the least of these.. .ye have done it unto me." The Way of the Reformer Js Rough How rocky an i thorny is the way of po itical and econo-mic progress. Those patriots who stood in the forefront of the fight for so many of the progressive reforms that have come about in recent times had a very hard time of it. While William Jennings Bryan was not the first he may well be clas-sed among some of the pioneers. He came demanding the reforms for which he stood, and many of them have been en-acted iuto law. And how the staedpat papers turned on Bryan They actually called him anarchist, blasphemer, Anti-Chris- t, crack-pot, and told theii readers that anyone advocatingsuch reforms was of and for the criminal class and was o .t to assasinate America. The interests defeated him for office but most of his ideas could not be defea ted. They carried on and when the interests tried to save the government from the common people and eleeted Theodore Roosevelt he carried many of Bryan's ideas into practise, to the great dissapointment of the ones who opposed them. It is time people came to their senses. It is hi'jh time we try to forget how to make men rich and center on how to make them freer and better. Josef Stalin Addresses Moscow Soviet & i l C?t - if Pi V f 1 J Contempt for Traitors When Benedict Arnold, the traitor, went, to London he visited Parliament and took a seat in the galary. A promirent speaker arose to make an address. Pointing his finger at Mr. Arnold, he shouted : "I cannot speak while that man is in the house." Were we, personally, to make an address in congress we would say the same about at least one man who sits therej supported by the government he has tried to undermine' and sell out to the enemy. When he and his kind have succeded in bringing on serious internal trouble the enemy will invade and come burning and destroying. Keep this item until that day and see how right we were. |
