Calling Drafted
Mothers
By ERAINE TURIN
injustice to them —as well as a
threat to our American way of life
—to permit appeasement methods
to be promoted by those who would
pacify that enemy. To such per
sons, Thomas E. Dewey refers as
“an American Clivedon Set,” and
he warns us that their influence
now is being felt “in Washington
and other cities.”
But to permit the promotion of
appeasement methods is to court
such a disaster that it will take a
terrifying amount of our blood to
be shed, an incalculable amount of
our resources to be drained, and a
limitless amount of our energy to
be exhausted, to take the vantage
position in this war. Appeasement
methods are like half-way measures:
a continuous going forward and
backward with losses that always
surmount the gains. Unfortunately,
| appeasement methods cancel all the
[efforts your sons are making. And
it is about time that you, the draft
ed mothers of our nation, who have
their best interest at heart, are giv
en voice in the matter —and before
it is too late. In fact, this column
urges you to take that voice—to
speak your mind in behalf of ad
justing such conditions.
Today we are dangerously con
fronted by the ravages which those
appeasement methods have wrought,
and which can prove our entire un
doing, if not checked in time. There
have been those who insisted that
we appease Japan; so Japan was ap
peased. And the results have been
far too damaging already. Those
results have come to be horrible
realities that must be faced by us
all—loss of valued life, and valued
territory, yielding valued raw ma
terials. Obviously all this has oc
curred, because certain individuals
permitted the Japanese to buy hun
dred of millions in scrap iron and
high octane gasoline throughout the
five years that they were fighting
China. A situation which allows
our enemy sufficient supplies for a
three-year war.
And to make matters worse, those
promoting these appeasement meth
ods insisted upon pacifying Vichy,
by discounting the operations in
Martinique, a Vichy-dominated is
land. So this appeasement policy
toward Vichy prevailed and the dam
aging results here are the subma
rine menace, which is not decreas
ing, but dangerously increasing. No
precautions were taken to prevent
the devastation this menace has
wrought. And—l quote from a
press release —“that devastation is
much greater than the American
people have been permitted to
learn.’’
It seems to me if Martinique is
supplying a base for the submarines
which are taking such a big toll on
our Atlantic shipping, that this same
Vichy-dominated island can supply a
base for airplanes to raid our At
lantic coastal cities. And if drastic
steps are not taken soon to look into
this Martinique situation, and to
check this appeasement policy—
a second “surprise attack” will bring
upon us a casualty list which will
equal that of Pearl Harbor. And
once the enemy accomplishes that,
the difficulties arising therefrom
will even be greater than these in
the Pacgific.
Drafted mothers of our nation,
these appeasement methods have
been the fly in the ointment from
the inception of this war, and now
they have come to be the biggest
stumbling-block for your soldier
sons to overcome. For while those
appeasement methods persist, how
can your sons fight for our American
way of life to continue, for our peo
ple to maintain their rights and lib-

OBSERVATIONS
and
SPECULATIONS
By MADAME ROAMER
In roaming around we learned:
That the Jackson cooks didn’t
run up to keep pace with the war
time clocks The home
folks killed the fatted calf several
times for Bailey Woodward, Mor
ris Carmichael, Tom Nutt and Bob
Carmichael. They’re all “in the Na
vy now” and Uncle Sam’s orders are
rescinded sometimes as quickly as
they’re made. . , . Some Kiwan
ians, we hear, agonize trying to get
the weekly bulletin unfolded. If
they just knew to remove the stamp
first all would be well. It acts as
the seal J. Lee Andrews
writes from Springfield, Ohio, that
the mercury is 2 or 3 below most
every morning, but he is thinking
of next August when he is coming
back home to see how the pines are
growing. That thought should keep
him warm—Georgia, August, and
pines Frances Allen says
down at Fort Benning there lives in
her apartment house a family from
California, one from Oregon, one
from Michigan, not to mention our
own Georgia. The lady from Oregon
asked Frances the other day how
to make corn bread, she had heard
so much about it. Rather than tell
her how to make the bread she made
it herself, and, rather than make
plain corn bread she made it doubly
good by adding some “cracklins.”
If it were enjoyed by the Oregon
family half as much as they said it
was, then the song “Shortenin
Bread”—sung like only Charlie Carr
can sing it —will have anew mean-
ing Elizabeth Robison
says she always tells Sing she’ll be
back in a few minutes when she
leaves him to mind the baby. Sing
is about to find out she don’t mean
it The Florida sunshine
surely did have a sentimental effect
on W. J. Wood, and an extra dose
must have just been applied when
he wrote that poetry last week.
Maybe he’ll write a Book of Verse
for posterity. One never knows
what Fate will decree
Have you heard this joke about
Mrs. F. D. R. (She must have a
grand sense of humor to survive
these jokes.) Drunk was listening
to an orator praise the President.
“The President is a great man,” said
the spellbinder. “But I don’t like
him,”, muttered the drunk. “He is
the greatest leader we have ever
had,” continued the orator. “But I
still don’t like him,” said blotto. “But
behind the President,” said the
speaker, “there is a Greater Power,
a Supreme Being Who guides him.”
“I don’t like her either,” said the
drunk.

with—and done with at once —so
that the battles which your soldier
sons must fight will not have been
fought in vain.
