It really is a paradox that here in the world's richest country, -we should have a poverty problem to solve. Nevertheless, one exists and we would be foolish to imitate the ostrich by burying our heads In the sand and pretending to ignore it Here is this land of equal opportunity, one-third of our people is illhouse, ill-fed and poorly clothed. If memory serves us correctly, one of our outstanding executives has describe this minority as the "submerge ed third." All decent citizens have sincere sympathy for these less fortunate among us. But, we must not be "pollyanna" in our efforts to correct a bad situation for fear that in trying to effect a cure, we only succeed in making the patient worse -- perhaps kill him. Various schemes have been proposed-- some even adopted. Most of thesa have as their bases, the idea of taking away from the "Haves'5 and giving to the Have-Nots." Dr. Ruth Alexander, nationally-known lecturer and economist, very aptly commented on this unwise procedure when she said: "Basically, there are tragic inequalities in ability--just as people are naturally endowed with differentials in eyesight. We remedy visual defects as much as we can, but we don't take eyesight from one who sees well and give it to one who sees not so well." Such a procedure would produce a nation of blind people. Government can solve the problem <jf poverty at a given time, for a given time, and by methods which have never failed "to destroy the whole' of society in the long run. These methods consist of the forcible transfer of capital from one group (the great middle-class) to another group (the poor). Such redistribution is based solely on the needs of the poor, and utterly disregards their contribution to the whole. History shows that the ultimate result of the up-lift of the few is to drag down the many. This method doA not recognize the basic cause of poverty. It treats tiie symptom rather than getting at the cause. Karl Marx named poverty as the outstanding symptom of the machine age. He overlooked the fact that poverty has existed continuously throughout human history, long before the machine. Today, it is most acute in countries where machine production scarcely exists. Poverty is not caused by widespread lack of opportunity, but rather by wide-spread lack of ambition. Reason compels us to admit that poverty is largely the result of specific weaknesses in human nature. It is the effect of these tragic inequalities for which nature is to blame--it is caused by lack of a driving will to succeed, by lack of persistence, and by unwillingness to make present sacrifices for the sake of the future. Therefore, those better equipped by nature should assume a measure of responsibility for those suffering from voluntary or involuntary poverty. Charity, however, put on a permanent basis, destroys self-reliance, kills initiative, and undermines individual responsibility. The poor could Jiot survive if left alone. They either cannot or will not make their own survival dependent on their own efforts. They are forced to depend on the; relatively strong. Destruction of these relatively strong, in the long run, penalises the whole. Leadership is a basic essential for the welfare of all. If we, as a nation, are submerged by excessive taxation or die off at the top hy a disproportionate birth-rate, all will be -reduced to penury. It is tragic but true that we cannot help the weak by destroying the strong--that government cannot effect a permanent solution of the problem of poverty hy redistributing the wealth. CONGRESSIONAL VIEWS by Congressman Chauncey W. Reed IJlOTRTOAK LSOIOR BACKS AID TO OBSAT BRITAIN 1 PKOOSAU IN THIS NATION It Has Happaad Here By a 5 to 3 decision rendered on April 28, the Supreme Court of the United States held that the National Labor Relations Board can impose collective bargaining representation upon employees, regardless of the fact that the Wagner National Labor Relations Act gives the workers the right to select their own bargaining representatives. The decision affirmed a National Labor Relations Board order which had designated a C. I. O. Union, as the bargaining representative of the employees in three of a companies plants, this despite the fact that 1,500 of the 1,800 employees in the plants were opposed to Joining the C. I. O. Union. In another decision rendered on the same day, the court held that an employer could be forced to hire and give back-pay to applicants fdft work who had been refused employment because of Union affiliations. The votes of the five New Deal Justices were the deciding factor both decisions. The Smear Campaign is On! Well informed capital sources report that the recent reference made by a person high in the affairs of our nation, wherein a well known American was referred to as a "Copperhead" is the opening gun of what is to be the greatest "Smear" campaign in our nation's history. All members of the Senate and the House of Representatives and all private citizens who oppose the entry of our nation into the war are to be flayed and castigated by the war crowd. Any public officer or citizen who raises a voice against our participation in the war 'is to be termed a f Copperhead," "an appeaser," "a ^renegade," "a Nazi sympathizer," and "Un-American." By this nleans the "War boys" believe that they can force the American Public into approving the entry of the United States into the war. Their theory is that the American Public will be afraid to raise their voice against war, if the threat of the "Smear is held over their heads. We believe that the swivel chair warriors are guessing wrong and that they are goirg to have a difficult time in arousing the American people to a point where they will countenance war. Eighty per cent of the American people are opposed to war and the threat of being "Smeared" unless they change their points, isn't going to make them do so. The American people don't want another war. They remember the dead, the maimed, and the gassed of the last one. ' So many thousands of people have come to Washington in the past few weeks to accept employment in the tnany newly created "war agencies" that the rent level in the nation's capital is now the highest in the country, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Washington landlords and hotels are taking full advantage of the housing shortage and rents and rates are increasing from day to day. The House District of Columbia Committee is now considering legislation, which if enacted into law will put a curb on the rent and rate raisers. Many Washington restaurants have increased their prices on foodstuffs, and others which have not done so are "making it up" by serving smaller portions. The nation's capital is an expensive place to live these days and the possibilities are that the situation will grow worse instead of better. More than two hundred Legionnaires from Mfetfanry county were present at Algonquin last Thursday night to hear their department commander, William F. Waugh, tell them that the national executive committee of the Legion is on record of "aH aid to Great Britain." Most of the Legionnaires were aware such action had been taken by the executive committee following an inspection tour made of the British Isles by National Commander Milo Warner and several other representatives of the Legion a month ago. The American Legion is on record against sending troops across the water by a mandate of the national convention in Chicago two years ago. Commander Waugh told of the Legion's stand for many years past in connection with adequate national defense. The Legion, he said, has been for an adequate national defense program since its inception. The department commander described the Legion's program in connection with war on subversive groups in the nation and that some 2,500 Legionnaires are now aiding the F. B. I. in Illinois in various* industrial centers of the state in stamping out this mensee. ! ' i > ; The speaker said |he Legion is back of the Dies committee in its fight against subversive groups and the stand of the Dies committee on Harry Bridges. Commander Waugh said with, thousands of young men joining the colors via the draft each month the nation's government hospitals are becoming inadequate to care for the needs of those injured in various manner and becoming ill in health. He said the Legion is aiding in this program and that the sale of poppies this year should be backed more than any previous year in history. It is the money derived from the sale of poppies which aids in the rehabilitation work of the Legion, the speaker brought out. The stats menOMrihip is now-past the high mark set last year when the state had 82,781 and at the present time the state membership is 84,980, McHenry county is over the top in membership this year with a total of 815 members as against 812 last year.

TeL Woodstock 162441-1 or Dundee 10---Reverse Charges Cattle feeders were urged to keep informed of all market changes and to work closely with their commission men by Jim Clarke of the Chicago Producers Commission association at the annual Spring Cattle Survey meeting on Monday evening, April 2& This meeting, held in the Farm Bureau assembly room in Woodstock, was sponsored by the livestock marketing committees of McHenry, Lake and Boom? counties. Ralph Dodge of Genoa, chairman of the McHenry county committee, presided at the meeting. Some of the unfavorable factors af« fecting cattle feeders are: number of cattle--the production cycle is up and eight to ten more cattle on feed a year ago, tendency to hold prices with moderate increase, unsettled world conditions. Favorable factors are: increased purchasing power with cost of living lapging behind, relatively low unemployment, increase food needs for tha army and navy, foreign demand hai increased and by-products ar% up ii| price. i STATE MILITIA UNITS TO SERVE WITHOUT PAT Woodstock's unit of the Illinois reserve militia which was assigned several weeks ago to take the place at home of the now active service men of the Illinois national guard and they have made that substitution--that is with the exception that they are not getting, nor will they get any pay for their services. National guardsmen received at least a small scale of pay depending upon the time they put in drilling week nights. Lieut. Lynn Merwin of Company F. said last week that most all equipment necessary for the Woodstock unit has been received. Rifles arrived last week and lockers, desks and various other items of equipment needed by the company are already in use. As to uniforms, it is expected thf company will be uniformed paler to Memorial Day. NlWSQWUlYMSMMTllR M> u:M R I 5K- IN ! Mt i OA t ' ! h i t it i 0 (>. > I S l ill !
