CHERRY Publisher WESLEY CHERRY Editor vrwwtAAr y A THREVT TO GUNS THAT FREEDOM MADE HISTORY During the past ten yeais Americans have been ever mindful of the threats to freedom of enteipiise, through the introduction in our stale and national legislatures of discriminatory tax measures designed to throttle" one class of citizens or another. In Utah, the 1941 legislatuie introduced and passed a tax measure aimed at chain stoies In the state. Sponsors of the bill admittedly had no axe to grind with some of the chains, but they had it in for some of the others. In order to get at these particular chain operators, sponsors of the bill aimed and passed legislation which strikes all chain stores in the state. Citizens of Utah, realizing with alarm the unfair taxation of certain classes, signed a petition asking that the question be voted upon at the general election this fall. The question to be voted upon is purely a matter of American principles; it is a referendum questioning the rights of certain groups to crack down on certain competitive classes and attempt to eliminate the American principle of free and competitive enterprise. Chain and Independent store operators are doing a fine job in Utah and they will continue to do this merchandising job as good Americans; but, class legislation of any nature is unfair if aimed at a chain as it History is repeating itself again just as it has been doing since the beginning of nations. Yet few men theie are who have realized it as the war news has unfolded before their very eyes every day since that fat ful first of September, 1939, when Germany matched the 1914 Invasion of a neighboiing country by crossing the border of Boland, again making England her enemy. Like the Geiman Kaiser of 1814, the present Teutonic leader, Adolph Hitler, early viewed his countiys young soldiery goosestepping down Unter den Linden, and then solemnly announced a partnership of himself and God," formed to remake the wot Id, while German submarine commanders took up where they left off in World War I and began exacting a heavy toll of and warship tonnage. On the other hand, the developments of weapons beyond their World War I capabilities, have brought about new events not easily comparable to past occurrences, and by the same token these advancements have wiped out the chances of some events being paralleled Although incidental when viewed with all of World War I as a background, the strafing of Baris by guns that tould shoot 75 miles is an example of an affair that the present conflict probably will not see duplicated. The advancement of the bombing plane as an offensive weapon has made such a complicated and costly method of attaking civilian morale and of doing damage to a city, entire ly unnecessary. It was 24 years ago on March 23, 1918, to be exact, that the German army startled the world with its bombardment of Paris at a range hitherto would be if aimed at an independent. America is in the midst of a war a war to the finish. Its high time that merchandisers of Utah awake to this fact, join hands and go all-ofor a cause that really means something. If we dont win this war, we may be paying taxes to the Axis. .... ut Hugh Dalton, president of the London Board of Trade, according to reports has said I hat British industry must be able to jump off the maik in the race for world trade after the war is over.

It is said that underground forces in the unhappy country are passing the word to the followers of the Indian leaders to slow up production wherever possible during the next few weeks and so to impede the war it of the United Nations. Any subversive movement is apt to be all the more dangerous because it is underground, and passive resistance is much more difficut to handle than open rioting. Therefore it is too eaily, we are told, to say that the trouble is entirely over. There are some anxious weeks ahead. Perhaps, when the stormy weather subsides the Japs may attempt to invade India. If they do, then whatever danger there is in the underground civil disobedience campaign will become evident. It is difficult for us to understand the Indian psychology.

The gun recoiled at high speed and then settled into firing position on its im mense mount. A group of German officers eyed their watches, counted 50 seconds, than 90 by that time the projectile should be 24 miles above the earth. At 180 seconds they exchanged significant glances. If three years of calculations and work by Germanys foremost artillery experts and gun makers had not been in vain, that shell had burst in the noitheast section of Paris just three minutes and six seconds after it had left the muzzle of the gun.

In the opinion of some experts, it would have been possible to provide an adequate supply of rubber for civilian use by now if the government had got down to cases when the rubber problem first appeared. That, of course, is water over the dam but the kind of political vacillation that has characterized the handling of the rubber situation in the past must not be allowed to ' continue in the future. The wise course to pursue at this time is obvious. The government must give maximum operation to secure the swiftest and largest possible production of artificial rubber from any practical source. Some kinds of rubber are made from oil. Others are made from coal. Others still are made from All of the processes alcohol. grain have merit and all of them should be developed without rurther bickering and delay.

Unless rubber for civilian tires is made available within a short time, we will be faced with a catastrophic national American industry and slow down.

Nobody was hurt by the first shell, but there was a hole in the cobble-ston- e pavement, plenty of windows were broken and flying fragments had gouged furrows in nearby building fronts. The missile actually had come from a mammoth gun emplaced 75 miles away in the little French forest of St. Gobain located in what was known as the Laon corner, north of Soissons and west of Laon.
