ATLANTIC VOICE Editor: JOS. THOMAS YEAR VIII LIMON, JULY 10th. 1943 BOX 199 NO 381 LET US MARSHAL OUR FORCES We should be ever mindful of the dignity of labour and of its moral potentialities. With the grim necessities of life slipping from under our feet, it is time be up and doing. Of what use is it that we realize the great forces of Nature running to wasts, when we do not marr shal our forces to harness and utilize them?
On every hand we hear wailings regarding the evern increasing cost of our essential commodities. This is, in part, due to a lack of production.
If so many of our able bodied men did not huddle 105 together in billiard saloons, and other public places, and indulge almost all the day in the playing of chech kers, poiuting the atmosphere, the while, with their blasphemy and foul language, we doubt if we would be faced, in our city market and other business establishments, with two marble sized tomatoes for ten cents, one cho cho, weighing from two to three ounces, for fifteen cents, potatoes at forty cents a pound, string beans at fifty cents, yarra at thirty and forty cents, and mony other articles of first line necessity at abnormal prices.
Let us ask ourselves this question. Had brethren beyond the seas spent their time in idleness and unprofitable pastimes, if they had not been aroused by the law of demand and necessity, could they be able to so efficiently take care of their own needs and supply so large a percentage of ours? What a terrible state of affairs would we all be experiencing if they had so acted.
If we truly desire to lend our aid toward the winning of the world war and the protection of our own lives and civilization, it is urgent that we marshol our forces and be up and doing. No longer should we morely indulge in grawls and idle waitings. Let us display an earnest to help ourselves and others will assist.
