Inflation and a call to sacrifice during wartime
A wartime column urges Americans to accept limits on profits and wages, price ceilings, and higher taxes to avert inflation seen as a grave risk to victory.

It also notes California farm labor efforts and unions, and warns West Coast readers about Japanese threats looming on the horizon.
