permit temporary discontinuance
of four passenger trains, two of
them operating out of Macon,
and set August 13, as the date

Macon and Brunswick.
Trains Nos. 26 and 27 directly
affect Alamo and surroundings,

Postermaster General Walker
Assails Isolationist Doctrine
Speaking in bis home State and .
that of one of President Roost*
velt’smost bitter critics, Senator
Burton K. Wheeler. Postmaster
General Frank C. Walker, in a
nation wide radio address de
clared that “there can be no
peace and no security by treaty
or pact so long as Hitler and his
doctrines rule Germany.”
Mr. Walker warned the Am
erican people against those who
tell us that “this conflict is one
for political power in Europe
alone that in no wise affects the
United States, that the idea of a
possible invasion of America by
the Axis powers is fantastic and
that the duty of the United
States is to pursue a policy of
strict isolationism and to take
the lead in bringing about a
negotiated peace with Hitler.’’
To those who say the war
abroad is no affair of ours, the
Postmaster General said:
'“This brutality, this false
philosophy, that pervades
Europe today bespeaks the
gravest peril to ourselves and
our way of life. Tnat it should
not come to the shores of Am
erica, as come it will if the
conqueror is not halted, is a
matter of life and death to our
own civilization. ”
In attacking the isolationists
who call for a negotiated peace
with Hitler, Mr. walker ciLea
Hiller’s record of broken
promises and said that “a hand
shake with Hitler is a prologue
to suicide.”
As to when Hitler would try to
reach our shores, the Postmaster
General said, “We do not know
the day or the month but come it
will when our first bulwark for
self preservation—our first line
of defense—are overwhelmed
by this thus far invincible force,
Because just so lohg as Britain
and Russia stem this mighty
tide of conquest—just so long as
the British fleet remains intact
. just that long and no longe r
ALAMO, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 1,1941
can we be assured that .the war
I will be kept from our shores.
“From the very moment this
cirnage threatened, the Presi
dent exercised to the utmost the
influence of this mighty nation
to prevent the start and spread
of this terrible holocaust. He
brought to bear with supreme
effort every moral force to pre
vent war. He utilized every
proper means at his proposal
that this great tragedy might
not come to pass. But the man
who guides the destinies of the
German people took step after
step, move alter move, that made
World War II inevitable.”
While Mr. Walker explained
that he “yielded to no man” in
his respect for the' light of Am
erican citizens to express their
views, he felt that it was time to
take issue with those who lead
the opposition “to the policies
pursued by the President and
our Administration.”
“Never in all our history have
we reached a more serious, more
tragic, more critical moment
than the very prese :t,” said
Mr. Walker.
“The freedom and liberty to
which we Americans were born
and which we no v enjoy with
tranquillity—that liberty was
bitterly fought for, valorously
won. The founders of our Re
public bequeathed to us the fruits
of the victory—Liberty. They
have entrusted to us much morel
the spirit, the vision, the decisive
convictions upon which alone
true liberty can rest, and for
which free men would rather die
than relinquish.
“Ours is a grave responsibility.
We have but one course. That
course has been charted by the
President. It is our patroitic
duty to fulfill these individual
responsibilities. To this high
concept I know every American
worthy of the name will sub
scribe.”

Parity Income Ultimate
Goal Says Oscar Johnson
DEFERRED MEN
URGED TO DO PART
Draft registrants deferred
from military service should
offer their services to local home
defense units, Brigadier General
Sion B. Hawkins, state director
of selective service, urges.
“No young man should shirk
his responsibility if it is humanly
possible for him to take part in
civilian defense activities,” be
said, adding “each man is ex
pected to do his share, in one
way or another, when a crises
threatens the national security.”
Roosevelt Grows Stronger (
With American People.
Prsident Roosevelt has grown .
stronger since the first of the
year with the American people I
as a direct result of his firm and I
invincible foreign policy. i
Mr. Roosevelt is using all ol I
his intelligence and effort in try- i
ing to lead this nation along the
course which he believes best i
He is a real humanitarian, a real i
flesh and blood man, he has had <
to meet more serious difficulties i
than any President in the history i
of the United States,
He took office during the
depths of the darkest domestic
period in our history in 1933,
when banks closed, industry at a
standstill, millions tramping up 1
and down the land, ragged and <
hungry.
Now he has the international
crisis to guide this nation thru.
No American, who is informed
on the approaching crisis will
doubt Mr. Roosevelt’s ability and
sincerity in leading this nation
along the only and safest caurse.
We do not believe that there is
another man in America who is
better qualified than President
Roosevelt to guide this nation in
the present emergency.—Ex.
Watermelon Season
Near Closing Here
The watermelon season is about
to and end at this point. 173 cars
have been loaded at this point
this season to the first of the
week, and possibly a few will be
loaded. This does not take into
account for those trucked out to
distant markets. For good melons
the prices have been reasonably
good, it is understood, and with
one of the largest yields, the
proceeds from same should sup
plement to a great extent the
short cotton crops that may be
experienced by many farmers.

Sample Copy 5c Number 16 '
Calling on every member of
the cotton industry in Wheeler
. and the surrounding area to
. pledge anew his allegiance to she
drive for cotton markets, Presi-i
. dent Oscar Johnson of the Na
! tional Cotton Council said today
. that the assurance of parity
। prices for cotton is only the be
ginning of the cotton farmer’s
fight for parity income.
“Only through the attainment
of parity consumption can the
farmer be assured that his in
come will be on a par with that
of other workers,” Mr. Johnson
declared. “For that reason we
must not slacken for a moment
our efforts to increase the con*
sumption of American cotton
products; rather, we must in
tensify and redouble those efforts
"During the parity period •
1909 to 1914, the consumption of
Amei ican cotton averaged nearly
13,500,000 bales. We must reach
at least this level of consumption
to give us parity income. We
must go far beyond it if weare
to achieve real prosperity for the
Cotton Belt.
“The only way we can hope to
reach the parity consumption
mark is through a continuation
of the program of advertising, ■
scientific research, efforts to
regain foreign markets, and
resistance to discriminatory
legislation, which the cottonin*
dustry has carried on for the
past two years.
In the end, it will avail us
little to have parity prices if
cotton consumption is cut down,
A parity price means nothing
unless we can sell a sufficient
number of pounds of our product
at that price to insure us a living
wage and a decent return for
our efforts.
That the cotton industry’s
program to secure increased
consumption is aimed in the right
direction is proved by the grati*
tying results which have been
achieved thus far. A gain .of al
most 2,500,000 bales in domestic'
cotton consumption over lait
year is already in sight.
“Again on the 1941 crop cotton
producers, ginners, warehouse
men, merchants, crushersand
spinners are being called upon
to contribute their pro rata share
toward a continuation of the
domestic consumption campaign
on an extended scale and for a
program to regain our foreign
markets at the end of the war.
As a cotton farmer speaking
for the producers, I call upon
every member of the six raw
cotton interests and every indis
vidual dependent upon cotton
foi a livelihood to join us in our
efforts to strengthen the pro*
gram to attain parity conump
jtion.”
