INDUSTRIES IN THE SOUTH
Billions of dollars have been
spent in the South during recent
war years on new industries and
Fighting services. As the south
has gained, the north, east and
middle west have lost.
The explanation is simple. Sou
thern congressmen control the
purse strings of the nation and if
money is to be spent, it must, in
their opinion, be spent “where it
will do the most good”.
The rorth ,east and middle west
voted for it and there it is.

THE OMAHA PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The controversy surrounding the
closing of the schools waxed warm
last week end. It was climaxed
by the claim of Attorney G. H.
Sieg that the Board of Education
is more interested in protecting
bondholders than in operating the

GAS is playing its part in helping to preserve
and improve the health and vitality of the
American people.
Through modem GAS cookery, foods are made
easily digestible, and the vitamins and min
erals so important to good health are preserved.
Adequate hot water, provided by automatic
GAS water heaters, helps promote cleanliness,
which is essential to soundness of body and
freedom from disease.
Efficient GAS refrigeration protects the food
supply in hundreds of thousands of American
homes, and safeguards against sickness from
tainted or spoiled foods.
Your Utilities District is proud to have the as
signment for supplying this fuel, which is so
important to the health, strength, and vitality of
the nation. You can be assured that, come
what may. GAS—The Modem Fuel—will con
tinue to be "In the Front Line of Home Defense."
Omaha Schools. He pointed out
that sufficient revenue is avail
able to pay a living wage to school
teachers and other employees, if
the board of education would use
bond reserve funds now on hand
and later d.efault on principal pay
ments and refinance at .a .lower
rate of interest.
Everyone concedes that the
school employees are underpaid.
But, according to Mr. Sieg, the
School Board wants to increase
taxes so as to pay high interest
rates to bondholders and not only
fail to raise wages, but close the
schools to boot.
Are we cracking up under “war
strain”?
THE MAKING OF A SOLDIER
How can a man be trained to be
come a soldier? Of course, he
must have a strong body and thor
ough rigorous training he must be
made tough of sinew. He must
be taught as best he may be “the
science of war". All this done for
weeks and months and, maybe
years, is he a soldier? Does he
ever become a soldier until he has
known battle experience through
which he must be tested? Until
he has met this test, no one can
tell what the result may be.
On the parade ground at the mil
itary post, the man who drills the
best, under fire in battle may be
have with far less gallantry and
effectiveness than the most abject
failure of the “awkward squad”.
Whether they are good or bad,
men of every race and color and
creed are being sent to their deaths
to win the war, or win freedom for
all men everywhere, or win dom
ination over other races and peo
ples and destroy liberty.
Out of the welter of these con
tending forces will come soldiers;
millions of them, mass killers, to
roam the earth and make it deso
late.
All this must be done in THE
i ' OF A SOLDIER.
JOHN L. LEWIS AND LABOR
John L. Lewis, President of the
United Mine Workers of America,
founder of the Committee On In
dustrial Organization, recently pro
posed a reunion between the Am
erican Federation of Labor and the
Committee for Industrial Organiz
ation. The plan was opposed by
labor heads and politicos.
Under the leadership of John L.
Lewis, the CIO. organized the
Steel Industry, the Automobile In
dustry, the Packing Industry, and
a large part of the Airplane Indus
try. In the newly organized un
ions in the industries mentioned
wages and working conditions
have been improved. And in the
coal mining industry the wages
and the conditions of workers have
been bettered in every way. AND
UNDER JOHN L. LEWIS THERE
IS NO COLOR LINE. This fact
may explain a recent outburst a^
gainst him.
THE COLOR LINE
In 1903 Dr. W. E. B. DuBois said
“THE PROBLEF OF THE TWEN
-TIETH CENTURY IS THE COL
OR LINE”.
A glance at the present map of
the world will show you what a
prophet he was. We are in the
42nd year of that century. Can
we solve it in the 58 years which
remain of that century.
THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE
In a military sense what is the
first line of defense? is it the
navy, army or air arm?
The navy claims for itself the

first line of defense. Backed by
the billions of dollars invested in
shipbuilding facilities and the prof
its which accrue from that indus
try, maritime power has been able
to dominate all other military
branches both in Britain and the
United States.
Twenty five years ago Generai
William Mitchell insisted that
wars of the future would be such
as to require control of the skies,
if success were hoped for. But
the “big boys” got him, He was
court-martialed and ousted from
the army “because he saw more1 j
clearly than his fellows". At the
beginning of the second world Aar
and even now, “the big navy" men
insist that the navy is the first
line of defense, in face of incon
travertable evidence through the
sinkings of the Bismarck, the
Prince of Wales, The Repulse and
the Arizona by torpedo planes: In
spite of the experiences of all the
conquered countries of Europe and
Asia through air control by the
conquerors, land army leaders min
imize AIR POWER and the air
arm of the services. Yet in al
most every communique the allies
bemoan their inadequacy of air
power.
Major Alexander P. DeSeversky,
Russian born airplane designer, is
crying out against the outmoded
notion that navies and land armies
are the first line of defense in war
fare. He wants a unified air com
mand and that command given the
place which the present war has
demonstrated ito should have. But
when he clearly proves his case by
citing the results of air power in,
World War number 2, the “vested
Interests” hold fast and the Allies)
save only in Russia, where air
power is very strong, continues to
lose and retreat.
We don’t know much about all
this from experience, but we sur
mise that if battleships cannoll
keep afloat unless accompanied by
fighter airplanes to protect them,
planes must be a primary retire
ment. If land armies cannot op
erate, unless protected by airplan
es, we must conclude that planes)
are a first requirement. It follows
therefore, that THE AIRPLANE
IS THE FIRST LINE OF DE
FENSE.
We hope THE GRAND STRAT
EGISTS will recognize the facts
of the situation and plan accord
ingly.
