Most of this money goes for food, clothing and medical care. More than 30,000 vol- umiteér workers carry on the} program, searching out chil- drén in need, sponsoring en- lightened legislation to pro- téet their rights, eombat- ting delinquency, doing all) possible to give every child a squate deal in starting life. There is an intensely hu- man interest. story in the) birth of this huge program} in which the \ American) Legion since 1925 has spent | some $56,000,000 in aiding underprivileged children. It all started back in the days of the first’ AEF in 1917-18-19. when orphan} tots in France, Belgium and} England made friends with American soldiers and sail- ors, They tugged = with mighty heartstrings as they sat in-sdldier and sailor laps, learning to pronounce Am- erican words, eat American) eandy for which they paid) with baby hugs and baby! kisses. The doughboys . of World War I passed the hat around on paydays to pro-) vide better food and cloth-| ing for the kiddies, Then. companies, batteries and} regiments started adopting! orphans. The first Stars & Stripes sponsored an orphan fund which grew to millions of francs, Out of that love of Amer- iean soldiers and sailors for these innocent victims of; war, grew the Amerfcan Legion’s great child welfare program. It has proved to be one of the strongest ties uniting the veterans of World War I.with the vet- of ‘World War II. For history repeated it- self. American soldier and sailor hearts of World War Il dpened again to the or- phans of war.

The statement brings to ¢3| mind at least oné contplaint about an editorial that re- cently appeated. in ‘The Citizen abokt the black market. Gist of complaints about that statement gave “What are we going to do—starve?” A Nee The answer to that ques- tion can be found in what happened in World War ! when prices began to sky- rocket: the people went on a buyers’ strike. As Many readers of The Citizen may recall, the strike became so effective that prices of all commodities tumbled, and many of them established record lows. Buyers’ strikes not only knock out black ‘markets, but also put an end to ex- orbitant prices in open mat- kets. The striké works in the manner as was described in the previous © editorial: consumers refuse to buy at black market pricés; retail- ers; not being able t6 sell at exorbitant. prices, stop buying from wholesalers, and the latter, naturally, stop purchasing from pro-' ducers, that is, at inflated prices. Nobody starves. Indeed, as feeds meats, parti- cularly beef, it proves bene-| to eating much beef, to change his diet. The cause of black mar- ket is the readiness of con-; sumers to step up td a coun- ten and pay Whatever price is asked for anything dis- S-| regarding the report is that] . dited| there was no black market seabees ne 5 on of results as 74.6 per cevit “yes” a ees oith.

DISCONTENT The newspapers in Wash- ing and other eastern cities are filled with reports from | the Middle West showing} discontent with nearly} everything that goes on in Washington. About the same thing can be said about conditions in the South. Nearly every sec-| tion of the United States is expressing . its views “and opinions upon “what -will happen” in the: forthcoming | Fall elections, and how that! will affect conditions? in 1948. when the ‘Republican and Democratic parties; en- gage in the great battle to | | | | { phans. The Stars & Stripes again raised an orphan fund. Today the veterans of World War II, now in the majority of the American Legion’s membership of more than 3,000,000, are finding in its child welfare program a common bond of interest." They too have learned. that heartstrings pulled by tats have a mighty tug; that when the great Nazarene said, “Suffer little children to come unto me,” He meant that their love conquers all. It isn’t opportunities that we lack; but the ability to recognize them. Interest on the public debt for the coming fiscal year is $5 billion. Get ready to- dig into your jeans.

At the present time most of the speculation has been con- cerned over the candidate for President. Most particu- larly, how will the farmers vote; what will be the strength of the labor unions; how much influence will small business develop; and how will small business peo- ‘ple couple up with big in-} dustry and institutions? In Washington the Re- publicans will tell you that | they are sure that they ¢anj win control of the House of | Representatives in the com-| ing election. But at the) same time the Democratg in- sist. that they. are stronger | than ever in the South, and that labor unions are With} them.
