- September 6th 1941We enter the third year of the war apparently with little change in our conditions of living and thinking. Superficially things are much the same as they wer in 1939. Of course this is not the case. We cannot travel for pleasure at our own expense anywhere except in our own country. We cannot send our money out of the country (except under very special circumstances). Our factories are under the control of the government to the extent that should it see fit a changing over from the producing of luxury goods to the making of munitions etc can be insisted upon when the occasion arises. The profits we make, all except a very small percentage is taken by the government who insist that no money be made out of the war. We cannot express ourselves too freely about the rights or wrongs of the situation.To an extent there is no free speech. Neither must we express ourselves in the written word in a manner which may be taken as discouraging our war efforts.We cannot in certain areas raise rents. We must sell to the government products for war purposes at a price acceptable to the Board in control of purchases. Our young men must submit to compulsory training for six months.Read automatically; may contain mistakes.
