Lund $1.50 PER YEAR Before Japs Cut Burma Road at Lashio ' mat.. w..... t ....v Ti...mJw..w.-- j. ,, J J Two years ago when Lashio became the buzzing hive of industry as the jumping off place for the fleet of trucks that fed China's war ma-chine over the Burma road, this rail line was laid from Mandalay to Lashio Supplies were run over the line by train, and then transferred to trucks for the run into China. The Japs flanked the British-Chines- e armies battling about Mandalay, and the Burma road has been cut at that vital junction. Lashio was taken by the Japs in one of the swiftest drives in their whole startling campaign. Wafldfo for The Destroyers Foreign enemies can only destroy our bodies and material resources, but internal enemies can destroy our national j soul. These enemies, believe it or not, are on the march. One of the subversive publications says as follows "There will shortly be a change in leadership in the U. there is speculation as to who will take the place of Roosevelt and Wailace. The change, if it comes, will be by force and is planned for the present summer. An element in the country will attempt to take the law in their own hands and perchance transfer the seat of government to Chicago." Editorials (CONTINUED) have and many millions more are awakening from their more or less peaceful! slumbers to find their property is rapidly and surely slipping into the hands of banks, their allies, big busi-ness who have a strangle hold upon the American people as well as the people of all nations and countries under heaven, willneverletthemquote.it they can help it, the foregoing statement of Jefferson. Reader, you know why. Respectfully, James E Hart. Some Reflections It is of record that Thomas Jefferson, the apostle of De-mocracy many years ago said, "If the American people ever allowed the private banks to control the issuance of their cur-rency, firsi by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and cor-porations, that will grow up aronnd them will deprive the peo-ple of a their property until their children will wakeuphome-leD- s in the continent their fathers conquored." Haven't the people of the United States allowed private banks to control the issuance of their currency? They most certainly have. If the banks and the corporations that have grown up aronnd them have not already deprived the people of all their property they have just about accomplished that very thing to date. I am most decided in my opinion that Thomas Jefferson was inspired by God when he made the above statement. Presidents of our nation as well as the leading Ministers of all the churches often quote the inspired words in the speech-es of Thomas Jefferson, but their masteis, "Bi Business' Have the children of the American people woke up homeless on the continent their fathers conquored? Millions of them Why Not Liberation Now? Misled by man-mad- e creeds and doctrines, many individuals school themselves to submit to sickness, poverty, sorrow, believing that these afflictions are in accord with the will of God. This is a perversion of fact. God's will is liberation now from sin and disease, sorrow and mortal-ity; liberation now from dishonesty, envy, and poverty; libe-ration now from fear and incapacity; liberation now from do-mestic tragedy. Christian Science Monitor The state should not go into the magazine publish-ing business. It is unfair to all individual publishers, and uses their own tax money to compete with fhem SYMPATHY FOR SEN. THOMAS We extend our sincere sympathy to Utah s distinguished senator Thomas in the loss of his good wife who is now at rest in the bosom of her native hills. Russians Land Back of German Lines Submarines of the Russian Black Sea fleet are shown landing marines on territory held by the Germans. Rubber rafts are used to put the marines ashore where they go to work in the rear of the German lines. Caption accompanying this photo from Moscow does not say so, but it is likely that this action took place in the Crimea. Some Unpleasant Truths Tobacco costs the American people $3,600,000,000 per year as of 1932. $30 00 for every man, woman and child in the country. More than enough to take care of all schools and churches in the country. Some heavy smokers in the low-wag- e scale spend more for tobacco than for bread shoes and many of the other necessit;es of life. With the increase of ladies (?) and juniors smoking, the tobacco sales are expected, by experts, to reach $6,000,000,000 this year. George W. Hill, Presiden oT the American Tobacco Com-pany, gets a salery of $1 000,000 per year, plus exorbitant bonuses. News ot CO-OPERATI-The Cooperative League, says: While the farmers of Am-erica have been struggling for parity through legislative means, he said, the Ohioans have actually got parity through the competitive action of their cooperative enterprises. "Becauee of the co ops," he said, "we now pay 80c for fertili-zer that we used to pay $1 for, and likewise we pay 95c for feed, 5oc for electricity, 54c for auto insurance, 67c for petrol-eum products and 62c for credit that we formerly paid $1 for William Limatainen, president of Central Cooperative Wholesale, says: "Our efforts should be directed toward the building of a saner society, eliminating the causes of war and establishing the basis for a lasting peace. This is not too much to hope for it can be done. Cooperative enterprises are the sprouts of a new civilization. Let us nurture them with care so that they may grov and prosper, men of good will working together in economic cooperation can build a saner world." Personal Items Mrs Anna T. Piercey's class n Scientific Right Thinking meets Wednesday evenings at 8 P. M. in the Board Room of the Publie Library. She is a gifted, spiritual-minde- d woman and always has a fine spiritual message for'those who attend Twice during the week we saw on the street a and four-sqnar- e Jeffersonian Democrat, slightly bent and silver gray from many years of distinguished service, Hon. Wm R. Wallace. For years he was a wheel horse and a financial pillar of the party. But since they began to use scoop shovels to dish out money and talking only in billions, and fair-haire-boys for counselors and policy makers his wise and sane coun sel has been side-tracke- d. It seems to us that if ever his sea-soned advice was needed in ev-ery department it is now. If his services were rewarded he would be made senat r"for"lii'e. Friend O. T Stubbs has join-ed our good company. We take it that he is not quite orthodox for he says: "Cain aod Abel were the firBt brothers, one a farmer the other a herder. In the course of time they got re-ligion and then Cain commit-ted murder Then he went to i the Laud of Nod where he got a wife not made of sod but who came by evolution." He resides in Pork City.

You may not believe in the prophets of the" Bible, but there are some "prophets" who have lived and worked almost before your very eyes and you will have to believe them. They have foreseen just what is happening in the world today and , told it in their way. Here are some of them: Tolstoy, the great Russian writer, Tennyson and Shaw of England, and Ibsen, the great Norwegian writer. Their great books 'have told, under a beautiful veneer of 'fine writing, the indictments of the present civilization; they have di-agnosed its doom in every quarter of Europe and warned ci-vilized men that civilization was dying of social septicemia." Tennyson was obsessed all his mature life by the disintegration of 19th century c'vilization even though he tried to trust to .the larger hope. He aDd the others were great secular seers. In every minute of this paper's life it has been proclaiming, in its own way, just what these men, and the prophets of the Bible have fortold. BRIEF DEFENSE FACTS Thanks to the government for starting to control rents What the rents were on March 1 they will have to remain. The i state of Utah has spent much on a housing set up with salar- - ied officials and fine offices, etc. But what has really been 'done? Restrictions have been placed on the entire coffee supply. Let everybody try and keep in good humor and cooperate. Better take your country's rationing program now than to be rationed by Japan later on. The rationing programs have done much for Amos and Andy. They don't have to prepare their skits now, just read them out of the papers. A World American. Wendell Wilkie has been termed a world American, and such remarks as the following entitle him to that distinction. He says: "We cannot keep freedom to ourselves. If we are to have Ireedom we must share it. In the only hope of the future. The day of vast empire is past. The day of equal people is here." j Neglecting the Weightier j Matters of the Law j I I 5 A certain man and his good wife were 5 engaged as caretakers of an apartment house. They did not receive any pay in !. money but were provided with comfort- : 5 able living quarters. Other work had to j : be found in order to procure food and j clothing. As time went on the man was j I stricken with a slight illness which stead. ; ily grew worse until he was unable to do j j hard work. As their situation became desperate he decided to call on his well-t- o j : do and influential brother, not to beg,' j j but to tell his story in the hope of secur- - j : ' ing some small job of lighter work. s I He succeeded in getting into the inner j I sanctum of his brother's palatial offices j j; j and there in simph words and humble . j I spirit he told his story. But it fell on deaf ears and a dumb heart. The broth- - 5 ;j er simply arose, laid his hand on the poor : j man's shoulder and dismissed him with : j the remark, "Thank the Lord you have j a roof over your head " j The poor man went awav sad and dis- - couraged. A short time later he died. j j Just before the funeral the rich brother I was seen lugging a large and costly floral j I offering to the mortuary parlor, making : j sure that he was seen of men. Flowers of : j beauty and fragrance and loveliness for : j the dead but not a copper cent for the : ' 5 living sick and down and out brother who j j hungered for brothcrliness and roses! j j Strange how some are tithed so peifect- - j ly and are 100 per cent abstemious and j yet so woefully neglectful of the weight.i- - er matters of the law. : j We're In Full Accord. We are :n full accord with the American Legion, which, in its recent convention, weLt on record against isolation and in favor of drafting all wealth as all man power. And we also agree with the following. "If humanity is to survive at all, it must be in terms of Universal Fellowship. Frontier lines must be erased, tariff walls torn down, governments absorbed into the Universal Order of Mankind, natural resources made the common pro-perty of all races and religions, creeds, classes and castes, merged in the one great family of the Creator, armies dis-banded navies sunk, waroutlawed, and PEACE ESTABLIS-HED AND PRESERVED."
