NO TWO-PANTS SUITS
The War Production Board and
the advisory council of the cloth

be no difficulty in buying a new
suit of clothes at any time in the
early future.
It is explained that a substan
tial stock pile of wool has been
accumulated and the general
public, instead of rushing to hoard
clothing as was done in the case
of many other articles of consum
ers’ goods, the buying public has
exercised commendable restraint.

To that publication we extend our
most hearty congratulations.
The sheriff of Baker County, a
special deputy and a policeman of
Newton, were convicted by a fed
eral court jury in Albany last
week of having violated civil
liberties statutes in the death of
a negro prisoner and have been
sentenced to three years imprison
ment and fines of $1,000 each.The
sentences were the maximum pen
alties under the indictment
brought against them. Comment
ing upon the outcome of the trial
which attracted widespread inter
cst, the Atlanta Journal said edi
torially “it is to be assumed that
the verdict of tho jury was a just
finding in the light of the evi
dence and testimony presented.
On that assumption The Journal
expresses its gratification at tho
outcome of the case. Georgia jus
tice must become a synonym for
equal justice to all, colored or
white, humble or mighty. This,
we believe, is the opinion and the
determination of all good citizens
There is^but one feeling such citi

Japan has solemnly proclaimed
the “independence of the “Inde
pendence of the Philippines . . .
in a series of propaganda broad
casts and has announced the in
auguration of Jose P. Laurel as
„ first president of a puppet “re-
and the i publican government” set up un
der the thumb of Japanese armed
forces.
Laurel, according to the Tokyo
broadcast, hailed Japan as “the
great power of East Asia” who
was granting the Filipinos their
freedom “as a sample of justice
in the history of mankind.”
It is safe to say that a vast ma
jority of the Filipinos fully real
ize what kind of freedom they
would enjoy under the barbaric
heel of the Japs. Moreover, they
are well aware that steps are be
ing taken in this country to grant
them real independence as soon
as conditions will permit. The 10
year period of preparation at the
end of which they had been as
sured before the war, of their
freedom will soon expire, but
even before that time comes they
will be given their independence
ns soon as the end of the war
makes this at all practicable.
The only wonder is that the
Japs think they are fooling any
body, least of all the Filipinos by
the grant of freedom supported by
the bayonet.—Macon Telegraph.
