The Sun. (North Canton, Stark County, Ohio), 1941-06-18

              No Time To Change
Modern war has two distinct phases. One is military.
The other is economic. And the deciding weapon in either
case will be the belligerent powers' natural resources. It takes
coal to keep factory furnaces glowing. It takes oil to provide
motive power for planes and armored equipment and fighting
ships. It takes metal of all kinds in, an incredible quantity to
build the weapons and the machines which produce the weapons. It takes abundant electric power to keep industries
producing on a wartime basis. And the extent of a nation's
natural resources determines' its position as a trading power
—and so determines to a very large extent what its diplomatic influence shall be.
The United States is singularly blessed by nature with
the principal natural resources—metals, petroleum, coal,'
water-power. Second, and equally important, under the private enterprise system we have developed these natural resources to an extent unrivaled anywhere else on earth. The
American tradition of private initiative has borne magnificent fruits for all the people. And it is this tradition which
must be maintained if this country is to achieve its full
strength both as an arsenal of democracy, and as a free nation where every man may succeed and prosper and serve to
the very limit of his abilities, ambitions and energies.
There are those who would now use "national defense"
as an excuse to have the government develop our natural resources—who would, in a word, socialize them. We have examples to indicate what would follow if that happened. Eus-
sia is rich in natural resources. Yet the Russian standard of
living, after more than 20 years of socialism, remains at rock-
bottom, and Russian production is notoriously low, wasteful
and inefficient. Is this the kind of political philosophy the
American people wish to follow?
The industries which turn our natural resources to productive use will cooperate to the limit with government now
and in the future. They will show the world that a free
America; working undorajEree en|e*ssprise system, is stronger than dictatorship, and that free men will out-produce
slaves. This is nd' time to change a system which has met and
conquered every menace of the past, and which * today is
gathering all of its vast resources to meet the menace of the
present.
Handwriting On The Wall
Certain labor leaders in the United States today set
themselves and their demands above the welfare and safety
of the nation.
To enforce their demands, whatever they happen to be,
they do not hesitate to imperil the lives, not only of the
workers themselves, but of every man, woman and child in
our country.
Standing behind the cloak of freedom which they enjoy
in this land, they are deliberately pursuing a course which
may well destroy that freedom, and destroy with it the labor
movement they prostitute for financial gain and power.
They dictate to government as well as to industry and
the worker. There is only one force that can control them—
public opinion, which eventually controls .government.
The welfare of the public is today threatened on all
sides by rule or ruin labor leadership.
First, our national defense is at stake.
Second, the nation's supply of coal is depleted to the
danger point by strikes and threatened strikes.
Third, farm production is discouraged through increased
costs the farmer cannot meet.
The development of little dictatorships was practiced in
foreign lands until helpless people accepted a total political
dictatorship which finally destroyed personal liberty and
labor liberty as well.
Labor must realize that when the safety of the nation
is in jeopardy, anything can happen. If the people are driven
too far, they will be forced to demand a government dictatorship that will end labor dictatorship. And if that happens,
the eventual result will be the destruction of the kind of
freedom we have all enjoyed.

Learn to Swim
Week Extended
Unfavorable Weather Causes
Low Enrollment
Because of the unfavorable
weather throughout the week the

Reckless Drivers Fined
Gasless Sundays
It is suggested that the United States, or certain sections, may eventually have to be put under a "gasless Sunday" order, as a means of preserving oil. No such thing is
likely to occur because of a shortage of oil, but because of a
lack of sufficient transportation facilities to carry the oil to
many of the factories that will require it for defense work.
A gasless Sunday would seem a hardship to innumerable
people, for whom that day is the time for high stepping on
the motor roads. They might consider that for our grand-
5)arents, every day was a gasless day. And they seemed to
ive quite comfortably in those times. When human nature
gets used to any pleasure or convenience, it is like pulling a
tooth to be deprived of it. Our people would have every day
a gasless day, rather than give up to Nazi rule.
The Wat And Business
It is predicted that the -war and defense situation will
interfere more and more with business, owing to the necessity of giving the defense industries the first claim on essential materials. Many factories, it is predicted, will have to
close down, owing to the lack of customary materials on
which, the defense factories will be given priority.
-Yet if the employees of these temporarily closed factories are thrown out of work for a" timfe, there will be a
clamor for more help oh defense production. Uncle Sam has
aman sized job on his hands to protect himself, in a world
that thinks more of bombs ~~thartof justice; and humanity.

Thursday Evening •
Guest speaker at Rotary meeting
Thursday evening will be Mr. De-
muth, former state senator who
was instrumental in aiding in the
rebuilding of Schoenbrunn, pioneer
settlement, now a spot of historic
interest in Ohio.
Mr. Demuth was supervisor of
the rebuilding of the settlement
and his speech will be on, the "Indians of this region and the Moravian settlement of Schoenbrunn."
The lecture will be open to the public, following the regular dinner
meeting of the club.
The three new members recently
received into the North Canton Rotary club, Bill Peters, Guy Price
and Otis Jester were instructed in
some of the principles of Rotary at
the club meeting Thursday evening.
Lee Lewis, the speaker for the
evening told the men that Rotary
stands for international goodwill
and peace and each, member in it
worked to elevate his vocation to a
higher place than'it was when he
entered the club. "Rotary exists
not for the good it can do for the
Rotarian," he said, "but for the
service it can render." The NorEh
Canton club, he stated, was a small
unit of the international organization that is striving for the goal of
service.
The three men, selected to rep- ;
resent their business classification -.
gave brief responses to the talk.
Clarence Rohrer presided at the
meeting in the absence of Charles
Carper, president, who had left for
the International Convention at
Denver. Mr. Rohrer left later in
the week for the convention.
Growth of the Rotary organization is well illustrated by the fact
that in 1926 when Denver was host
to the convention there were 2,396
clubs with a membership of 120,600
ad 85 countries had clubs. Today
'there are 5,044 clubs with a membership over 210,000 and , with
clubs in more than 5tt countries.  _
