NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1911 \merican Bullding, Seattle, Wash. — THE ATLANTIC CHARTER When Wendell L. Willkie recently charged tha | the peoples of the East wanted assurance that the Atlantic Charter was also meant for them, he spoke a$ a common citizen and evidently a blunder that many of us might make The President explained it later. The Atlantic ! Charter was so named because it was in the At- lantic that Roosevelt and Churchill had their fam- | ous meeting at sea and drew up the document. But it could have had a more appropriate title ; But the Atlantic Charter is a fine collection of | ideals, and a document that every American knows teo little about ! Briefly it is a word picture of a world of peace, freedom, justice, happiness, prosperity and security —all words that Americans know more of than other less fortunate peoples because these have been actu- alities to Americans. Article 3 of the Chafter is one of the more im- portant of the eight points. the rights of all peoples to choose their own form of government—the government under which they will live. It also guarantees the restoration of in- dependence to those who have lost it, or rather, have been deprived of it | Article; 4 promises equality—economic equalil In thisiptiiele) the 'rfations ‘dgree “with due respect for thefr existitig obligations, to further thé employ- mefit By dll States, great or small, victorious or van- quished, of access, on equal terms, made to the trade and | | ernment $450—nine weeks’ Article 3 guarantees | \ burden ‘l individual the state No- Jonger, good while the form rather than the ind enslaved by under things to the terms of this Charter, be reserved by a few rest of the world suffers under a feudal- of life, producing for the factories of All of the good things of life which science brought and will continue to may no be the property of a few, but must be avail- for many people in many lands.

The stenographer who makes $100 a month will have to pay the government next year more than $15C more than one and one-half months’ salary. The clerk who gets paid $50 a week will owe the Gov- pay—if he is single, or | better than $300—six weeks' if The $100-a-week man must pay better than eleven weeks' pay if single and more than nine weeks' pay if married. The single individual who makes as imuch as $8,000 a year must give the Government more than a quarter of it. He must work from | January 1 to May' without ;a nickel for his own ex- | penses, just to pay his Federal taxes on the income | that he made (and probabjy spent) this year. The ‘l)plul American family of four, if it has income of l $2,500, paid ne income tax this year. Next year it ‘must give up $159 to meet Federal income taxes. No one will dispute that taxes of this size and even higher must be raised to protect the nation | from inflation. But only the blind can pretend that ! the 30,000,000 or more Americans who must payv these taxes are all so prudent, so informed, so expert |in the management of their affairs that they can and will have saved up money enough to meet these | heavy imposts.

There may be delays, obstacles and dis- | appointments, but all are minor HEART AND HOME: This is a fortunate day for those who plan for the pleasure of others. This means much happy preparation for the holiday of the week which should be memorable in a special way. Underneath all rejoicing will be mingled sorrow for the inevi- | table sacrifices of the future and faith in final victory for which suffering is worth while. The spirit of young and old will be definitely heroic as former carelessness re- arding war responsibilities is re- gretted -by all people. The last | month of 1942 is to bring event§, of amazing achievement which will be ‘only beginnings of futur cess for | the! mation’s part in war. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Falling off | |in trade may be apparent in cer- | |tain lines of merchandise but | farmers and all who produce or | distribute food will profit. The stars | appear to give assurance that | {among American war sacrifices, |diet will be least affected. will be plenty of fruit and vege- | tables, also good allowances of | meat. Hotels and restaurants, for- | merly moderate in prices, will !eel‘ declines in patronage but it seems,! {that the plage popular with;persons. of wealth will continue t6 flburish.

FOR PARACHUTES “Don’'t you know,” demanded Wickard hotly, “that statements like yours may cost the lives of American boys? When you that cotton farmers in Arizona may strike, you are endamgering our supply of long-staple cotton, vi- !:gy needed for parachutes O'Neal” said he meant to bring out that™if the government hiked COTTON farm wages beyond the ability of | farmers 6 make a profit, the Ari- | zona cotton growers couldn’t af- ford to plant next year. He did not mean to harm the war effort. “Well, you do harm the war ef- fort by saying things like that,; whether you mean them or not,” shot back Wickard. “A man in your responsible position should exercise some caution in his remarks to the press.” “It's my job to protect the far- mers, and I'm going to do the best of my ability,” snapped angrily. Director Byrnes, who stepped down ‘recently from a tranquil life on the Supreme Court, listened gravely to the verbal fireworks. He said nothing, but turned his head it to O'Neal a sheaf | of Farm Bureau statistics on wages | say ) and | back and forth from Wickard to | O'Neal like a man following a ten- | nis ball. | SOCIALIZING FARMERS Wickard also censured the farm leader for publicly stating that the Farm Security Administration was “trying to force farmers to pravide toilets, baths, hot and cold water, land all that red tape stuff.” To this Secretary Wickard re- plied: “You're going around trying to create the impression that the gov- lernment is guaranteeing migrant farm workers a life of luxury at i\hp expense of the farmer. We have to give the workers some induce- ments to accept jobs in agriculture. Certainly the 30-cents-an-hour pay minimum we are proposing isn't too much when you consider that the workers can make much more than |that in war plants. | “Furthermore, Mr. O'Neal, I have ja factual memo from the Farm Security Administration which shows that we are building privvies, | not toilets, at the rate of one rorl each 25 workers.” This served to ease the tension. | There were smiles when Wickard | turned and Labor {all in. “I apologize for having to bring |lms matter up in the presence of a lady,” said Wickard, somewhat tlabbergasted. “Don’t mind me, Mr. Wickard,” |grinned the labor secretary. “Go | right ahead.” However, Wickard wasn't given a chance to proceed. For, suddenly, O'Neal jumped from his chair and, |in a furious huff, stalked out of the meeting. He did not come back. |Other members of the Economic | Stabilization Board predict that {farm problems will continue tp be thorny. | noticed Secretary of | Frances Perkins taking it HEROES WATHOUT HEADLINES The MERRY-GO-ROUND cita- {tion of merit goes to: “Doctor” L.
