"Obviously, industrialists cannot perfect their plans until they know what the nation's policy is going to be. And if they wait too long it may be certain that unemployment will be large in the postwar Ralph Hendershot, financial period." editor. in- ative marketing organizations that "talk" Recently, Ernest C. Strobeck, secretary of the Dairymen's League Cooperative Association, said of subsidies : "An under' standing of food subsidies requfres at the cutset a determination of the kind of government that we want. Do we want a government supported by its citizens a government of for and by the people? 40r, do we want a government to which everyone looks for handouts and detailed regulations of their everyday lives?" Farmers have been forced to accept subsidies, although they continue to oppose them in principle as a threat to the independence of everyone. They are frank in their belief that higher prices for farm products when necessary are preferable to living at the whim of government au- thorities. The country is fortunate to have that kind of farmers. "We forgot to hold the election." Cascade, Idaho, officials when asked for primary results. "Severe jolts in contract terminations and lack of planning might wreck our economy for years to come." William L. Batt, vice chairman, WPB. "For the sake of all of us, but mostly for the sake of our soldiers and sailorst let us hurry, hurry, hurry not only in winning the war but in being ready for the peace." Bernard M. Baruch and John M. Hancock. MOBILIZATION AND DEMOBILIZATION PROBLEMS War Mobilization Director Byrnes, testifying before the Senate Military Affairs Contracts Subcommittee, said when the European war is over, war production will be slashed approximately 50 per cent. Anticipating that we would still be at war with Germany in the fourth quarter of this year, he said heavy cutbacks in war production would be necessary, with still heavier contract cancelations to come when Germany is defeated. Mr. Byrnes recommended that Congress create War Mobilization Agency as provided in the Murray-Georg- e Bill S.1730; that legislation be enacted to give states federal assistance to pay for increased unemployment compensation for war workers laid off because of contract cutbacks; and enactment of Contract Termination Bill. (This bill S.1718, was passed by Congress this week.) x IN CONGRESS THIS WEEK The House and Senate have completed action on five appropriation bills which total five and a half billion dollars and sent them to the White House. They are: Lend-Leas- e and UNRRA, $3,920,570,000; War Agencies, $1,031,900,000; Agriculture $562,145,918; District of Columbia, $69,000,000; and Labor-FederSecurity, $1,100,000. It is anticipated that final action before Congress recesses will be taken on the 49. billion dollar War Department appropriation and the Second Deficiency al Bill. The first step directing the conversion of America's wartime economy to peace was taken when the House adopted the conference report on the War Contracts Termination and sent it to the President The House by an overwhelming majority voted to nullify a recent Supreme Court decision holding the nation's insurance business within the scope of the antitrust laws. This legislation is now in the Judiciary Committee and further action will not be taken until after the recess. The House Naval Affairs Committee reported out a bill to allow Waves, Spars, and Marines to serve overseas. It is expected that the Senate will defer action on this bill until after the recess. The House unanimously completed action on legislation which will extend for an additional year beyond June 30 the President's power to requisition personal property and materials needed for the war effort. The Senate adopted and sent to the White House a bill providing pay and allowances for missing Army and Navy personnel until a report or evidence of death is received by the War and Navy departments. UPHOLD AMERICAN TRADITIONS AT HOME The Hon. John R. McCarl, for fifteen years Comptroller General of the United States, says: "Send strong men to Congress. A weak Congress imperils the na tion. A strong Congress, sustained by an, informed, interested and alert citizenry, protects freedom and is vital to national safety." x CONSUMING DESIRE ESSENTIAL The United States came into being because a majority of our public leaders and the people were consumed with a genuine desire to be free men and the masters of government. The world has progressed because groups of people had an undying faith in certain philosophies of religion or human conduct in which they believed. How many people in the United States today are uncompromising in their desire to retain personal liberty and democracy within the framework of our republic? Of late years, there have been too many politicians insinuating that as a nation we have outgrown the constitutional ideals on which this country was founded. A majority of our people must have a consuming desire to retain independence at all costs, just as our forefathers had the desire to gain it at all costs, or the United States as we have known it will be but an era in the history books bureaucracy will have supplanted democracy. x U. S. A.
