Ellis Arnall Leads The Fight
• DECENCY!
• DIGNITY!
• DEMOCRACY!
Never before in the history of Georgia has there
been such an overwhelming sweep of public senti
ment against dictatorship as is being shown in the
present campaign for Governor.
The farmers, merchants, business men, laboring
men, newspaper editors, women, preachers, students
. . . all are saving with an unanimous voice that
GEORGIA WILL BE REDEEMED!
The Diclator and his Palace Guard are desperate.
They see the rising tide of revolt against their rule
or-ruin tactics. They see the free press of Georgia
nearly 10 to 1 against them. They see an ever in
creasing number of former supporters patriotically
rallying to the cause of decency and democracy
championed by Ellis Arnall. They see them leaving
their discredited administration.
Ellis Arnall in his campaign for Governor wel
comes the support of every man and woman who
loves Georgia. He invites the help of all citizens,
regardless of past political affiliation. This crusade
to redeem Georgia is bigger than any man. The
future of our state is at stake.
The real issue is democracy or dictatorship for
Georgia.
*
The tide is rising ... and cannot be turned back.
Georgia will be redeemed.
Vote for Ellis Arnall for Governor on September
9th. help to redeem Georgia from political dictator
ship.

Sometimes we are a little critic
al about our British allies, but I
ran across some figures which
makes me a little ashamed about
having talked behind our cousin's
backs.
Just listen to this (and its
thentic);
With the enemy only 20 miles
away; Britain is producing planes
for herself and her Allies. Her pro
duction now equals Germany. She
is producing 40,000 big guns, with
25,000,000 rounds of ammunition.
and millions of small arms with
2 billions rounds of ammunition,
besides ships, locomotives, tanks,
and other armament.
Two out of every three persons
is in the armored forces, Civilian
Defense (their Civilian Defense is
as risky as a soldier) or War In
dustry.
Every fit man from 18 Vi to 40
has been drafted into the forces
unless on an essential job—and
Lt. Gen. Henry H. Arnold, Chief !
of the Army Air Forces, said
American airplanes generally are
superior to those of the enemy. He
said that in the Pacific Theater
since the war started 1.110 army
planes have battled with 1,459
Japanese aircraft and have shot
down 190 with loss of onl y 104
These figures do not include planes
destroyed on the ground, those
shot down by anti-aircraft fire,
Navy and Marine Corps action, or
the work of the American Volun
teer Forces in China.
Gen. Arnold said the goal of a
2,000,000-Man Air Force with
185.000 fighting planes would be
met. He said the recruitment and
training of pilots, Bombardiers
and Navigators is progressing per- j
feetly. There is, however, a grow
ing demand for gunners, various
technicians, radio operators and
glider pilots Gen. Arnold said
Ameiican planes are arriving in
Britain every day in preparation
for the aerial offensive against
Germany in union with the R. A. F.
Lt. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Commander of U. S. Army forces
in the European theater, said in
London that training of U. S. units
there must be intensiveness in alt
its phases. "This is true,” he said
j "first, because the time is short
second, because the problems we
have demand the ultimate in train
ed personnel; and. third, because
our men must be toughened and
| hardened physically to stand the
most rigorous operations."
j n the first offensive action by
united Nations forces in the
Southwest Pacific, U. S. Marines ■
| e ff ec te<3 landings and then conso- j
]id ated their positions in the Tulagi
Area of the Solomon Islands. At
tbe same time, U. S. Army and
allied shore based aircraft from
. Australia continuously attacked
“Japanese Air Bases and ship con- i
C entrations in enemy held har
bors,” in support of the invasion,
Commander in Chief of the U. S.
Fleet King reported early in the!
battle that the U. S. appeared to
have had at least ohe cruiser sunk
two cruisers, two destroyers
and one transport damaged, while
a large number of enemy planes
were destroyed and enemy surface |
units were put out of action. He
said the type of operation being
undertaken in the Solomons is one
of the most difficult in Warfare.
The Navy raised the toll of
Japanese ships sunk or damaged in
the Aleutians to at least 22 by add- j
ing a destroyer to those hit in the
surprise attacks of August 8-9 on
Kisaka Harbor. U. S. Headquarters
j in the European Theater reported
Army Air Force fighters partici
pated with the R. A. J. In 31
sorties off the Coast of England
in 48 hours ending August 1-,. A.t
Forces heavy bpmbers based in
India and China continued destrue
tive raids against the Japanese.

sinkings announced in the past j
16 weeks. I

Seven million women between ]

been directed into war work.
Even boys and girls are help
ing. Seven out of ten English
youths between 14 and 17 are in
war work.
One home out of every five has
been destroyed or damaged by air
raids over Britain. Over 44,000
civilians have been killed and over
50,000 injured. One thousand were
killed in April of this year by air
raids.

My dpar Constituents:
The PXPC „t ion the six Gpr .
man spips and sa b 0 teurs here in
^he District of Columbia jail last
Saturday will be a deterring e.x
amp j e to others in this country
w h D may have planned similar
campaigns of terror. The good
work of the Coast Guard and the
men of the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation in apprehending these
dangerous enemies before they
were able to carry out their nefa
rious plans deserves and has the j
profound thanks of every patriotic
citizen of this country. These men
weie all of German birth, and had
lived in America long enough to
learn to speak our language and ;
to know ail of our them customs and habits, j
and could have passed
as American citizens. They had
gone to Germany to learn their
dastardly work in schools set up
for the purpose, and they landed
on our coast from German sub
marines, bringing with them large
sums of money with which to bribe
helpers, and materials and plans
for a two year program of sabot
age. The apprehension and exter
mination of these enemies has no
doubt saved the lives of msny
loyal Americans, and prevented the
destruction of important defense
factories. We must continue to he
on the alert for these enemies from
within.
Oh the first, anniversary of the
signing of the Atlantic Charter,
August 9th, Admiral William D.
Leahy told a radio audience “This
war will probably be long. It will
be the toughest, hardest, most
merciless war we have ever fought.
It calls for the united power of
every American, in uniform and
out of uniform, on the firing line
and on the production line. The
price we will pay to redeem the
future of mankind will be th<
highest ever paid. I have no doubt
of America’s decision. We have
mighty enemies, but we can beat
them. We did it once. We will do
it again. No pleasant fate awaits
a beaten America. There are no
words to describe the agony of a
i free people who have been con
quered. No fate like that must
come to America.”
In last week’s letter I gave some
information relative to the method
of filing applications and proofs to
obtain the monthly allowances for
the dependents of soldiers, sailors
and marines under the Service
men’s Dependents Allowance Act
of 1942 and several have written
for further information as to how
the Post Office Department an
nounced. Definite curtailment
plans were announced for Wash
ington, D, C., and Detroit. The
Office of Defense Transportation
said local transport systems

the heaviest load in history by
mid-Sep'tember. The ODT prohi
