It is recorded that the Lord '. . . confounded their language, that thsy may not understand one anoher's reflected by Washington, seems like a modern Tower of Babel. Those who should 'Jet the people know'' talk in riddles or remain silent. A rew days ago, Miss Jessie Sum ner, Illinois, introduced a bill in the House. What do you sucpose its announced purpose is? "To prevent United States participation in vio lations of the Atlantic Charter." Have you wached the unfolding of "liberation" in Europe? Then you will understand why this courageous middle-western Congresswoman in troduced this bill. "American boys fighting and dy iug all over the globe" it's been said so often it sounds like a slogan, doesn't it? But it is sickeningly true. Daily the casualty lists get longer. With their flesh and blood on the altar, you would think that the American people would know what is going on in the world. At least they should. Probably never have the people of America had less factual information on what is happening than today. Here are leading topics of 'off the record' discussion around the Capi tol by Senators and Congressmen: 1. What has happened to the At-' lautic Charter? (For Poland, Fin land, etc.) 2. Is the Army and Navy Journal correct when it reports that 'Russia and Great Britain are letting Ameri ca do the lion's share of the fight ing, while they race to set up "puppet governments" in small na tions. ? . 3. Why have American officials and newsmen been barred or actual- mated by the truth and not by more Pearl Harbor secrecy. Democratic Senator Gillette sum med this problem up on December 12, declaring, "If we are not to com mit national suicide, if ye are to maintain the confidenhe of the world in our leadership fcr peace security in a free world, we must take the American people into as full confi dence as the military situation will permit." If home-front morale is lagging, here is a sure-fire construc tive solution give the American people the truth about what is going on! TREASON AT HOME COLUMBUS, O., (U.R) Mich ael Kelly, a punior police candidate reported to city police that his bill fold, contaning thret streetcar tick ets and his credentials, was picked from his trouser pocket as ne at tended a meeting of tne Junior Police Assn. Governor Urges A!l To Aid In Price Program Asks Whole Hearted Action by All of the People in Anti-Inflation Campaign Honorable Dwight Griswold, Gov ernor of Nebraska, today issued a Proclamation pertaining to the Grocer - Consumer Anti - Inflation Campaign urging citizens of the State to participate whole-heartedly j by being frank and adherent to thej ceiling price program. I This campaign is being conducted s by grocers throughout the nation ' asking the public to cooperate on ; the basis of mutual effort and co-' operation to hold the price line. Housewives are an integral part of this Campaign for they are asked to check the ceiling prices every j time they make a 'purchase, John G. i Aldrich, District OPA Director, said. ! This adds up to the fact that we face ! a very uncertain period in which a few price rises could undo all we' have worked for. With so much at , stake we cannot afford any loss of public or trade interest in food price control until we are sure that our overall supply will be large enough to equal our demand, Aldrich con tinued. Following is the proclamation: "WHEREAS, the control of price and maintenance of price ceilings are essential to the wartime welfare of the citizens of Nebraska and of: the merchants who serve them, and "WHEREAS, as during the First World War, military victories will not immediately remove the dangers of disastrous inflation, and "WHEREAS, for sometime to come we will face inflationary dan gers that could rapidly destroy from within the security our armed forces are fighting to protect. "NOW, THEREFORE, I, Dwight Griswold, Governor of The State of Nebraska, do call upon each citizen of this state to participate whole heartedly in the GROCER-CONSUMER ANTI-INFLATION CAM PAIGN by being frank and -adherent to our ceiling price program. "IN WITNESS WHEREOF. I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of The State of Nebraska to be affixed." Done at the Capitol in the City of Lincoln, this 14th day of December, in the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hun dred, and Forty-Four.
