Released by Calvin’* New* Service The military mind is a wondrous thing! Once it is set on something it stays set and not even the at om bomb can budge it. Right now the military mind is set on having the biggest, army, navy and air force in the world, with a personnel recruited via Prussian method of compulsory military train ing. According to the distinguished atomic phy sicist, Dr. J. R. Oppenheimer (Dr. Oppenlieimer directed the atomic research at Los Alamos, N. M.) one atomic raid on congested United States centers could kill 40,000,000 Americans. A single bomb of improved design could transform New York City and its millions of inhabitants into an incandescent pillar of gas in the wink of an eye. All this the at omic bomb can do, but there’s one thing it can’t d That is, change the military mind. ‘ Before he died the late Admiral McCain gave us a snapshot of the military mind'. Said Admiral Me Cain: “Give me the fast carrier forces and you can have the atom bomb.” Chief of Staff General Marshall is another who takes the ato mobmb in his stride. General Marsh all wanted peacetime military conscription before ti e atom bomb and he wants it now. Maybe the ar om bomb COULD destroy all living things over a great area. Maybe it could exterminate the train ed with the untrained, and the brave with the faint of heart. But this isn’t going to alter General Marshall’s thinking. No siree! And Generali Marshall has a retort too. “The fundamental re quirements of conducting successful war have not changed,” lie pontificated to a House Committee. Shades of Maginot! In his recent Biennial Report, the Chief of Staff asked for universal military training. He was im patient with those who oppose universal military training, saying “They often seem to give undue importance to restrictions on our freedom of life." Get it? When we were called upon to go to war, we were told “freedom of life” was everything, that we value this freedom too highly, that we givfc it “an undue importance,” and that we would make a good abrgain in exchanging it for what General Marshall optimistically calls, “at last a probability ot peace. But General Marshall is right about one thing, Compulsory military training does mean “restric tions on our freedom of life.” Militarism always was and always will be the deadly foe of democ racy. And to strengthen American militarism through the adoption of peacetime conscription is to build a veritable fortress for race prejudice and to make a five-star general of Jim Crow! You know it and I know it, and the experience of milit ary race relations in the recent war has proved it. Yes, the military mind is a wondrous thing. It is an antediluvian mind and it always fights the next war according to the best strategy and tactics used in the last. But it is not utterly without logic. A conscript army may be useless in war but it still has its place in capitalist society. It is still the best device earer invented to break strikes, hold the working class down, and indoctrinate youth with the national chauvinistic spirit. In Imperial tier many, military conscription was frankly regarded as a bulwark against Socialism—and as a bastion for class rule. The drive to impose peacetime military conscrip tion is now in full cry. Even before this column is released President Truman will have put the full power of the Administration behind it. Potent capitalists forces and the plutocratic press will al so join the clamor. Against this reactionary array the workers, Negro and white, must unite in protest Even7 man and woman who perceives the tragic and sinister implications of military conscription should write to his or her congressman and denounce in the strongest terms the proopsed rape of American’s anti-militarist tradition. For if we fail now to beat back tlie tide of reaction, the winning of ultimate freedom from the system of color caste and wage slavery may be delayed by our falure for years or decades. i ---— . I H.

Largely because of heavy rains and a gnialler cotton crop, there were 586 000 fewer workers em ployed on farms in the South on October 1 than a year ago, the V S. Department of Agriculture re ports. Farm wages in thig region, al though normally low, were slight ly higher on October ' than a >e:»r ago. However, because a larger number of hired workers are em ployed in this low area during the fall than during the summer, the national average of farm wages was somewhat legs than on July 1. Rain brought field work to a standstill in partg of Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas during the early part of the month. Even the Sixth National Cotton Picking Con test. scheduled to be held at Bljthe vllle Ark. on October 5, was post ooned until the 25th. And because thig year’s cotton crop is nearly 250,000 bales smaller than the 1944 crop, fewer pickerg are required. This also accounts in part for the decline in farm employment in the South. The total labor force employed in the South numbered 6,075,000 work ms. including 1,280,000 hired hands. This was a decrease of 586.000, or ine percent, as compared with the number of workers employed on faring a year ago. The main work being done by farm workers in the South was picking cotton, harvegting peanuts, Plaid ^ MACKINAW JACKETS $025 Colorful jacket of 100% vir gin wool. Has zip front and sports back.

Cotton picking was nearing completion in southern Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. However, farther north in these states, picking was in full progrega ( and in Tennessee where the crop was late, picking was just beginn ing on October 1 With shipping improved during the last several month8, the United States exported glightly over two million bales of cotton during the 1944-43 season. This is. the larg. est quantity of cotton exported since the 1939-40 season. It ig pointed out, however, that exports would not be so high were it not for the fact that the export pay ment makes it possible for Americ an cottos to be sold abroad at com petitive world prices. The United Kingdom, Canada, and Belgium were the largest buyers of Ame-i can cotton. Interegting in the cotton picture ig the recently announced diversion program for using cotton in the* manufacture of paper. The Depart -ment of Agriculture points out that the program is designed to (1) develop new uses for cotton; (2) help reduce the large surplus stocks of short gtaple, low grade cotton; (3) furnish additional crit ically needed raw material for mak ing high grade paper; and (4) aid in providing warehouse space for the new cotton crop.

Storms Lunch time, during most of your baby’s infancy is going to be the most interesting meaL New foods are introduced first at the luncheon meal. Even cereals are given first at noon—or the feeding near mid day. Later, when strained vege tables and egg yolks are put into the luncheon menu, then the cereal is moved to breakfast and often given at the evening meal as well. .Each new food is introduced in very small servings. If he accepts the new food with its different tex ture and flavor and appearance, well and good. But don’t give him very much even though he may be willing to take more. After a few days is soon enough to increase the servings a little at a time. If he refuses any new food of fered him, say nothing and remove the offending food. If no unpleas ant associations are established in connection with any food, he prob ably will take it without question on the second or third trial. Children of all ages resent be ing forced or urged or coaxed to eat. Most adults have the same re action. A serving which is too small becomes more desirable. Babies, like the rest of us, know when they have had enough and like the rest of us, vary in the amounts they eat. Lunch time is the time to learn to drink from a cup and when the first strained fruit or custard is given.
