Bt* ports received from all sections et ; the country show that a settled and determined purpose to win the war at all costs has resulted from an awakening of persons i<j|l mlki of life to a mim realifcatioircha Wliey must discipline themselves to accept the sacriftftw -ah--d. The Japanese attack on our Island possessions in the Pacific had a profound and stimulating effect on the unity so badly needed by a nation at the outbreak of war. The absence of excitement in official quarters and around Washington is taken as a happy augtiry for co-ordinating the ftgfcttng.strength and ability of the eKksWry. , Obvionsly, the beginning of the Sec «bki World War had a heavy impact on policies here. The voluntary armistice on "wholly partisan matters for the duration put an end to many bitter controversies. The fact that domestic matters are now subordinated to the war< effort in legislative and administrative circles did not, however, mean a complete black-out of debate. Less than one hour after Congress declared a state of war existed against Japan the U.S. Supreme Court handed down an opinion on matters involving civil liberties which had been pending over a year. It was a coincidence as the decision had been written prior to the war. but the Court pointed out "for free speech and fair trials are two of the most cherished policies of our civilisation." It may be assumed from current comment that the Federal government intends to encourage voluntary compliance with new regulations which must necessarily be net up as part of the war program. Certain war-time compulsions will be required, but every effort will be made to confine this rigid enforcement to a reasonable minimum consonant with the nation's welfare and safety. Our lawmakers, who had demanded a holiday from their loner service in leeislative halls are remaining on the job. Those who wanted a respite realize that the war has changed the picture for officials as well as soldiers and sailors who had looked forward to a reunion with families at Christmas. The publication of casualtv lists in installments remove all doubts that the conflict is a deadly affair. Comnlete lifts cannot be furnished the public as this would provide the enemv with dues to the effectiveness of their bombing and other operations. Surviving relatives or the next of kin will be officially notified by the military and naval authorities. Reactions of the buying public to the war situation as related*'by" mer? chants indicate that resistance to an all-out policy of war materials as gainst articles intended for civilian use will be reduced. Folks changed their purchasing trend over-night by turning to essentials for gifts rather than the so-called "luxuries." The change is calculated to have a healthy effect on the government's production program. It will be necessary to double the output of factories and •b°ps for military and naval purposes, Estimates show that about forty-five billions wilP be spent for war materials or for factories to pn»- I duce these articles during 1942. The wheels of industry will be turning twenty-four hours a day for the 7-day weekl, Probably this program will man the shut-down of many small factories whichr cannot be converted into war. The construction and expansion of large pianos with government and private fundi is expected to absorb the workers released from these shpps. The mobilisation of industry and all civilian life is making rapid progress. The legislation for the registration of all men from 18 to 65 years with the intention of having those up to 45 years for military service is one phase of the plan to make all ages of manpower serve the country wherever workers are needed. Simultaneously, the Congress is Readying a special wH|fc the Treasury wants to WtfWjp jn<w& for the sinews of war; ^any"lVnM not now taxed will be listed for revenue purposes. The bill will be presented after the holidays. The present rates on incomes and on commodities will be light compared to pending schemes of assessment. The government will also supplement its revenue by intensified drives for the sale of bonds and defense stamps. Admitting that the war saved the trade unions from a losing fight against anti-strike legislation,' our solons are disposed to go along with current efforts of the President to work out a labor policy without statutory pressure. The conference called for this week.is designed to devise a program which Vill prevent strikes, It is believed that the unionists will be more inclined to accept this plan with the threat of legislative controls definitely over their heads. Congressional leaders feel that the laws should be passed as a precaution because of. the epidemic of strikes during the critical defense period. A#hew price control bill containing drastic* provisions will be submitted to the Senate within a few days. The vast war powers granted the President are such that he could operate effectively without legislation of a specific nature. Part of the CtttiSt*w| rush that ia not seen by most of tts is the enormous increase in Ukggjhftne calls to other cities.

Telephone people expect to do all that is humanly possible to see that calls go through. However, it is impossible to expand the telephone system to six times its normal capacity for one day in the year and we know that some long distance calls will be deliyed in spite of all we can do.* bred Berkshire and. hi»ar8 and bred gilts* Four Wind Farm* Iporth Lake Zurich, P.O. 111.
