"I RISE TO REMARK" By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS This is written on the day, according to last week's letter, I was to be stepping on a train bound for California. The trip is impossible now. The Congressional recess was cancelled; the Food Study committee goes to work immediately, and Mrs. Phillips, who was going with me, is recovering from a belated attack of the "flu." The release date for this column is the day before Good Friday. It should be filled with peace and good-will, and inspiration. Instead I look out over a country trying to fight a war on two active fronts, with our men located in perhaps a dozen strategic points over the world (some of them in places we never heard of before) plus a thirteenth front, the war with the Washington bureaucracy. Why must that be? Can I translate it into little facts that will so startle the housewife, the storekeeper, the consumer, the laboring man, that there will start a mighty and unceasing surge of public opinion that will demand the elimination of this thirteenth front? This column will try to start the ball rolling, hoping if it does nothing more it may strike a spark in the minds of abler men, who can cut the Gordian knot, tied in the red tape of bureaucracy. I would be seriously concerned if it were not for one thing, the undying, undauted courage and common sense which is historic in the American people. Some of these days a mighty laugh will echo from one end of this land to the other. That will be America's I would be seriously concerned if it were not for one thing, the undying, undauted courage and common sense which is historic in the American people. Some of these days a mighty laugh will echo from one end of this land to the other. That will be America's answer to the new New Deal: This is not the New Deal of the CCC; this is not the New Deal of help for the farmers, and the small property owners who were distressed; this is the New Deal of bureaucracy; of the Nazi "block system" of political control (of which Nazi system it is the exact and brazen copy); this is the New Deal of boys who want to use the United States for the greatest laboratory in the world, infinitely larger than the college class rooms from which they have so recently stepped. What does it mean to say that the debt limit is raised to 210 billions? Who ever saw a billion? Or will ever see one? The New Dealers answer with some deceptive catch phrase about "it being all our own money." Does it help to quote the Costello committee's report that there are 840,578 young men of active draft age in the bureaus of the New Deal? That's little easier to understand: particularly by mothers and fathers whose sons are in North Africa, or in Austriaia. 'Essential occupations'? Bailoney! Make your own decision on this point after reading the columns which follow. Then write and tell me if I am right or wrong. I'll tell you what you'll understand, men and women of California, FOOD, the stuff you eat, do you remember it? I have never in all my life wanted so desperately to be proven wrong. I can see only one conclusion to the present system of food administration under the New Deal. So I shall start by making a comparison between the handling of food in the last war (and some of you will recall it) and the handling of food by the New New Deal. Then you can draw the conclusions. To prepare yourself, go to your local library and read the book called "History of the United States Food Administration 1917- ABRAHAM LINCOLN said "Let not him who is homeless pull down the house of another, but let him labor diligently to build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence. "I take it that it is best for all to leave each man free to acquire property as fast as he can. Some will ge wealthy. I don't believe in a law to prevent a man from getting rich; it would do more harm than good." GIBBS the present system of food administration under the New New Deal.

Exclusive Distributors California, Arizona, Nevada 1943 THE 2nd WAR LOAN America...you got to get to AMERICA — Let’s be frank about it... so far, many of us back home have been fighting this war from an easy chair. Many of us have bought War Bonds out of extra cash, out of money we didn’t miss too much. We haven’t been really tough with ourselves. But this war is a hard, down-to-reality war. And many of our boys are dying in it. We’ve got to buy MORE So your government asks you to buy Bonds and more Bonds—to get really tough with yourself. We’re asking you to give up the frills and “extras” for the rest of this war. We know how human it is not to make sacrifices until the crisis drives us to it. In England they felt the same way until the bombs started falling. Now they can’t do enough! Bombs are such persuasive things. But just as persuasive ought to be the spirit of our brothers, sons, husbands—who are ready to give all. Think now... what are your dollars, compared to their lives? If you could see Look at it this way—suppose you had a magic carpet that could take you to Africa and New Guinea. Suppose you could hear the groan of American boys wounded, and American boys dying... Say now, how many Bonds would you buy? That kind of war THEY...are dying. And they will keep on dying until we drown the enemy in an overwhelming torrent of bombs, bullets, guns, tanks, planes, ships, and shells. That’s why we’re asking you, in this one month of April alone, to lend Uncle Sam 13 billions of dollars—by buying War Bonds. 13 billions of extra dollars—over and above any buying that you’d be doing anyway! A lot of money Of course, 13 billion dollars is a lot of money. It’ll take sweat and can have a better, So during this month buy War Bonds in the limit—and then Better yet, will you’re used to lend extra money Victory? Money the son’s or your brother this war?

Money that can help to save American lives—perhaps your son's or your brother's or your husband's—by helping to shorten this war? Money buys money Remember, what you're really buying with your money is still more money. For after all, these Bonds are money! Money plus! Every dollar you put into War Bonds will bring you a dollar plus interest. So the more Bonds you buy the better for you. Americans — Get Tough — with yourselves — for your country.
