Free press has reflected the prevalence of crime and critical opto ion of governing officiate la due time, they have told their follow ere. the minorities, which have had (he free right to be as vocal as they please, will rise tn revolt a gainst government Today, we se<- the vocal minor litas, which hsve been free to crttlelse their government all they please, rising, yes. but In a different way. They are rising to blend their voices Into one thunderous denouncement of the dictators and of the enemies of the democratic way of life, t'nprseodonted sales of United States Defense Ronds and Mumps since the dastardly attack on Pearl Harbor are a sure answer to the Asia plotters The heavy enlistments in tbe United Htates armed forces tell the world wreckera what they are going lo be up against. In time of peace, the American way reserves to tbe Individual and to his home the fullest of protec lion and of freedom. In time of war. the American asks the citizen to make sacriffces and lo join his neighbor In the joint protection of their homes and of their freedoms It to sotnethlug that the dictators would not understand, that America could make war and still reserve to Its citizens and their homes the blessings of liberty. They canuot understand, for example, how America can make war aud still operate under the political and traditional two-party system. Would Amei icaua give up their due motor cars and the lux urles of their living? Hitler thought not. Hut he is living to see the day when every American would be willing to deliver his motor car to the defense of his country. Will Ame.tca give up her twoparty political system while wag ing war agalnet the Axle? Again Hitler, .Mussolini and Tojo will be given the He. America will show these vain demi-gtal war mongers that it is not essential to enslave a people, to rob their homes and to grind them into the earth In order to go to war. Tbe American twoparty system will live through the worst of war; as will the American home, and the American Hill of Hights. In America, political parties are not revolutionary parties. They are not armed camps of traitors tn a national cause. They are rather something that dictators do not understand and which self-centered war-makers do not understand; they are citizen* whose differences of opinion are vocal, yes. and many times intense, but which are never divided on tbe proposition that '"all men are. or of a light ought to Ire. free." I— Hitler. Museollnl and Tojo will see something else that they never expected to see. They will see. here in America, capital and labor with their shoulders behind the sainc wheel; the conservative aud the liberal sitting on the same administrative hoards and the Republican and the Democrat marclihig In the same company. Enslaved and disciplined men make a great hottie force, but enlightened, cooperative aud determined free men will make a victorious one. Trade in a Gou Town - Dacatur

Farmers Ready To Meet Emergencies ■ r Farm Bureau Head Conference Speaker Lafayette. Ind.. Jan. II <UP>— American farmers are In a much bettor position to meet emergency demands than they were during World War 1, Hassll E. Hchenck. president of the Indiana farm bureau. said today In an address liefore tho annual agricultural conference at Purdue university Ifeapltx rationing. Hchenck told farmers, the United Htates still will fare lietter than any nation In the world "There will lie no occasion for the use of aubatlllites," he declared. "no occasion for whi-atleas or meatless days, and In my opinion, no occasion for a food administrator." Registration for the annual conclave neared the g.ooti mark as the comprehensive program of addresses and demoiistrallona on all phases of farming went iuto full awing In yesterday s general session. J Clyde Marquis, federal adviser for the office of foreign agricultural relations at Washington, told a conference audience of farmers and homemakers that organized agriculture demanded- a definite place at the peace table when the present war ends. ■'ln post-war adjustments, the first requirements will lie the planning of relief and an economic equilibrium for the restoration of trade.” Marquis asserted. Among other demands essential lo a return lo normalcy following the war Mai quia listed: 1. DisiMisal of excess surplus thiough relief or other means outside the regular market. 2. Production control lo cut surplus. 3. Division of available maikets by quotas. 4. A stabilized price with limits. Set by both producer and consumer. 5. Establishment of a directing agency representing all countlies to make the agreement flexible for changing conditions d. Establishment of an organ!xation to utilize each product to tbu maximum Marquis declared: "I am uot referring to trade agr«<emenls between nations, but to a world wide commodity agreement troth In production and trade " The agricultural expert also addressed a meeting of the Indiana farm aiauageawnt association last night. More than li.ooo persons witnessed the fiuaia of tbe state rural entertainment festival concluding the day s activities. ——— '“<l 11..
