PEACE ON EARTH As Old Glory was lowered in the gathering dusk of V--J Day, 1945, a marine kneels in silent prayer beside the grave of a comrade in the cemetery on Okinawa. Peace came for him after the war as lt came for many on the battlefields. Insert shows Air Vice Marshall Isett, New Zealand, as he signs the surrender aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo bay, while General MacArthur looks on. One year later, on August 14, all the world will honor those who willingly gave their lives that theirs might live In peace. While V-- J Day marked the end of the war, hundreds of thousands of veterans are still on active duty, finishing their Job to see that war never lifts its head in the world. The nation honors all who contributed to success of the war against Japan, many who formerly fought against Germany. China. ARGENTINE ATOM BOMBS The fascist Argentine government has completed elaborate plans for busigoing into the atomic-bom- b ness on a scale parallel to that of the U. S. The Argentine Scientific association has proposed and re-- , ceived approval of the Argentine war and navy departments lo finance importation and operations of the best nuclear physicists in the world, including German refugees. The Argentine government is guaranteeing these scientists unlimited funds, complete scientific liberty and absolute personal security from police terror.

Their dollar has been marked equal to ours, Instead of 90 cents, as formerly. To whatever extent the rest of the world follows suit. Its money will go up In value and ours will go down. Theoretically lt can buy more goods here, but only theoretically, because actually our prices have gone up more than the 10 per cent increased value of the foreign currencies. An Item from South Africa tells the inside tale. It says Americas goods were being bought there In quantities hitherto unknown until the OPA price ceilings went off, but since then purchases have beeo limited. Do we want them to fill their shops with goods (as they report) when we are short? Well, we want to increase our world trade. But can we do this with shortages? Of such considerations is the character of our oonfusion. Really it is worse. Today we are proving we can have Inflation with a balanced budget. BIGGEST PEACETIME BUDGET The main business of this adjourning congress has been its least It was widely reported aspect charged with appropriating money for Mr. Trumans unprecedented peacetime budget of nearly The house trimmed sharply but the senate put most of the money back In the bills, as is the custom. In the end Mr. Truman will get appropriations for this peacetime fiscal year (which began July 1) that are roughly four times and more, greater than what Mr. Roosevelt ever spent. The highest Roosevelt expenditures in prewar was $9,605,000,000 in 1940, when he took In his in nearly $6,000,000,000. whole administration he roughly took In half of what he spent, which was thought to be Inflationary, although It never got prices up. The spending is largely for army aqd navy, along with increases in peacetime activities of government Mr. Truman Is apHowever, proaching a balanced budget at this Wartime taxes spending level. have not been reduced materially, for fear of the big debt so he will take in this year around or upwards of $35,000,000,000. (Retiring Budget Director Smith calculated the figure at $39,500,000,000, which is qnore than the January budget estimated.) Agitation thus haa begun here for a real tax reduction, but some authorities want to retire the debt instead. In the war we roughly took in half what was spent, or about $46,400,000,000 in 1945, while spending $100,400,000,000. INFLATION IS HERE In the face of this promised Stability for the first time in 18 years, we have Inflation. It is a real inflation, due to a shortage of goods in the presence of widespread buying power. The administration has figured it would stop the inflation as soon as it obtained production, but we are not getting production, and business estimates it will be three to five years before it can take care of accumulated demand, not calculating the increase In consumer demand which has developed from the presence of widespread buying power. To add to the deterrents of strikes, slowdowns, governmental mismanagement, famine relief, the absence of a foreign trade policy, cheapening money, sensationally high prices and no real peace, along with pitifully insufficient production the OPA was sharply modified ahead of time. Can we get out of it? Yes, but only by shrewd management. By this I mean constructive management of overall policy, as well as detailed affairs. Obviously we are entering a period in which there will be no "normal. It is a previously uncharted period. We are in inflation. Instead of "fearing inflation," as officialdom verbally does (and then shoots wages up, then prices, and next wages again), it must recognize we are in it. If we get production, and prices start to decline, we will recognize that the era in which we now ere was a period of unprecedented In a word, the governInflation. ment has started the toboggan. The question now is: can it be stopped? Can it be stabilized? It has reached a new level Can this be kept? CLEAR-CUPURPOSES Certainly no satisfactory foreign trade agreement can be made loosely on such development as congressional approval of the $4,000,000,000 British loan (which really cancels nearly $25,000,000,000 of lend lease although this figure was never mentioned in connection with that acTo make a foreign trade tion). policy, you would have to create full management for it, management over goods and prices, as well as currencies.
