M Clyde Stokes of Bowie writes from the Pacific urging back-home workers to keep wartime production going and condemns strikes that halt defense efforts. He cites UAW and CIO actions, reflects on battlefield sacrifices, and calls for laws against strikes during war while praising bonds and war support. He notes local appeals and a soldier in Italy awaiting Christmas packages.
