REVIEW
TO THE TRADE
Regarding the Song
"There'll Be a Hot Time for the Old Men
While the Young Men Are Away"
Although the Department of Justice has ruled that the sale of the song would not be interfered with, we have volun-
tarily withdrawn it, in view of the fact that some of our friends have different viewpoints as to the wisdom of singing the
song at this particular time, because of the moral effect it is likely to have on "Our Boys."
A few of the people have gone so far as to suggest that the song is unpatriotic. Therefore, even though you person-
ally may not agree with this viewpoint, we will appreciate your complying with our suggestion not to sell any more copies
of the song, and return to us for credit any copies you may have on hand.
