this paper and also the local new e pu bl tatted herein Premature Planning Perils United War Effort President Roosevelt's proposals for sweeping postwar changes in the nation's economic system and for immediate ex- pansion of the social security program have been projected on the congress and the people at a particularly inopportune The mildest criticism of them is that they are in view of the troubled war picture premature They can also be condemned on the grounds that the taint of politics is too apparent—even some say the spectre of a fourth term is seen hovering in the background With national unity and the winning of the war set up as the chief objectives of the American people the presentation of this program at this time might prove to be dynamite There is much material thus provided for foes of democracy while those who have been warning the people of communistic tendencies at home will find in it some evidence to support their claims Without entering into the merits of the social implications of the program it It can be pointed out that there is a war going on which requires the whole-hearte- d efforts of all classes if victory is to be our lot This cooperation is not being fostered by$25000 wage ceilings nor by creating alarm'for the future among industrialists who in general are engaged in an all-oeffort to outproduce the world in weapons and munitions of war

hesitates about entering has had half the demoralizing effect on nazi production or confidence that the bombings by allied air forces have produced It has been estimated that axis casualties in the northern campaign total around 9000000 men and countless tanks and planes vast stores of munitions and supplies of food were taken or destroyed British and American air forces have been bombing production centers and transportation facilities in Germany areas for several Italy and The raids have been ceaseless weeks and results devastating Dropping or 24000000 pounds of 120300 tons axis-occupi- ed on 2000 industrial plants and depositories under Hitler's control has created consternation and confusion until nazi leaders are wondering whether to curse or complain They are actually conscripting all conquered peoples German factories are in ruins and their workmen driven from sources that were supplying 1250000 tons of steel per annum to repair and replenish the fuehrer's war machines The recent attacks on Essen site of the Krupp works long considered the largest establishment for- - the construction of heavy guns ever operated have staggered the goose-steppeIn this one area 13 massive buildings were destroyed entirely or rendered useless and the city reduced to bombs and block-buste- rs rs ruins No wonder nazi generals are rushing here and there driving their troops to death in order to regain tracts of terrain lost on the steppes! No wonder the nazi press is howling about the brutal destruction wrought by avenging enemies! No wonderthe fuehrer is dead or dormant while letters of reassurance are published instead of harangues once heard! Berlin broadcasts admit that the force of allied air raids "cannot be stemmed by German defenses" The Berlin correspondent of Zurich's Die Tot says that no further attempts are made to conceal damages suffered "Under fury of allied raids which revealed much reserve power the Germans have experienced the terror of total air warfare" Nothing has shaken the morale of the masses or the confidence of the leaders in territory like the bombing squadrons that the allies are sending almost hourly across axis-occupi- ed g English-speakin- the channel It is barely possible that incretsed aerial warfare will hasten the end more than any other factor employed in this conflict Burning Reich Libraries Will Not Harm World Culture Dwellers in the civilized world that is to say lands outside axis countries will shed few tears over the reports from Germany that allied raids have destroyed many grat libraries Recalling the nazi bonfires of good books by free and intelligent authors leads one to believe that these library bombings will have little effect on the future of world culture The reich libraries of today house probably little that is worth preserving for the literature of the ages Thegreatest loss will be to the German propaganda ministry and if a few million copies of Hitlees Mein Kampf have been destroyed the world will be better off -- -

Britain spurned it Political Subterfuge And all politicians like to promote "security" because it' makes them appear to be doing something for the common man and thus covers a multitude of sins—including currently the insecurity of rising price levels which is destroying whatever security citizens have been able to provide for themselves in insurance or otherwise The current report is thus merely political canned goods laid out on the shelf in congress with no guarantees against spoilage It is a mass of elevat- ing theories strung together without any concrete plan or drafts or specifications for carrying them out While the s o c IA I - security board is supposed Ufa be working on some dollar and cents recommendations these will be a long time coming and the congressional committees are far too busy with othe'r matters to consider any of the ideas this year or perhaps next Distributed by King Features Syndicate Inc By Frank R Kent WASHINGTON' D C — Every time it LS suggested that the 0 W I propaganda is colored by new deal and fourth-terpolitics Mr Elmer Davis assumes an aggrieved and Injured air Statements then ooze from him In a stream The general effect of these is that he and the 0 W I are pure of heart and and obtuse would that only the suspect that the operations of his organization are not all on the highest plane completely free from any trace of partisanship or prejudice Probably Mr Davis is justified in his attitude Certainly the disposition is to concede his innocence concerning the facts of political life and accept his solemnity as sincere Unfortunately however a good many Republicans and anti new deal Democrats remain unconvinced as to the colorless nature of the propaganda Rigidly righteous they say Mr Davis may be but it is none the less true that the propaganda— particularly that destined for foreign consumption—is to some extent concocted by new dealers some of whom are properly classed as zealots and all of whom were not only for the third term but will be for the fourth term and if there should be a chance for a fifth sixth and seventh term Do Not Make Policies It is true that here and there a Republican appears in the 0 W I machine but they nor propaganda are not in the policy-makin- g creating end To a considerable degree these departments are in the hands of men who earnestly believe that anything they can do to perpetuate Mr Roosevelt in power Is a high form of patriotism—good for themselves for the country and for the world Perhaps this is slightly exaggerated but at any rate that is the antiadzzunistration feeling about them and some of the W I publications lend substance to the view Conceding Mr Davis' noble nature there is a rather widely held belief that in this propaganda business he does not wholly dominate the show and that many details escape him All of which makes it timely to present a constructive suggestion that would enable Mr Davis to obliterate suspicion confound his critics and best of all establish the W I in the eyes of the country as a really the nonpartisan organization Let him take speech made last Monday night in Constitution Hall by Governor Harold Stassen of Minnesota and disseminate it in the way for example he has that 1942 speech of Mr Wallace's which caused all the new deal evangels to shout 'Hallelujah?' Many million copies of that cloudy and impractical utterance were—and still are—being distributed here and abroad Actually the Stassen speech is a far better speech Certainly there is nothing in it to which any member of the administration from the president down could take Mr Stassen strongly urged the exception e and the renewal of extension of the reciprocal trade treaties As for postwar international cooperation his suggestions are sensible as well as and entirely in tune with the presidential and state department thought I C'1141' ANY LAORE 60 m k Lor di c:3 low-mind- )tlCs 4:0 0!7 reeto s 1 'I t Li v tl e ritt I ' 7 S 1 1rRI ) '6 1111 - tr 44 cm Re 4 t:j !t h: '— f ' do" sitt'1- 03groubswao--sj 1 - - W0--- ' : !(''" st r '!

"lock the stable be be- fore the horse is stolen" by taking steps to conserve our water supply before the season of drouth comes If there is a plentiful supply of water now and we save it by every means in our power then when the drain comes for our Victory gardens and the new demands for our war' projects we will at least have that which we save now With the plentifnl supply we now have we may become careless and neglect to get our dripping and leaking faucets repaired we may run more water out for various purposes than we need we may run our hot water taps until the water becomes too hot and then have to temper it with cold instead of letting the cold water that Is first to run from the hot water tap be heated sufficiently by the hot water when it starts to flow Let us remember that England regulated the depth of water for a bath in the bathtub to three inches and made it an offense to have leaking taps or leaking water tanks in the bathroom and conserve water simils rly In former years we have had to curtail even the water for our lawn sprinkling possibly because of our prodigality in this season of the year so I hope those who have control will issue advice and institute regulations NOW and help save while we have the water instead of waiting until our supply is used R W X Smith up Cites Treasury Figures Editor Tribune: 'The Treasury "Circulation Statement

Certificates- and out of this last sum is held S17738- 209142 for Federal Reserve banks and agents" This statement says: "Federal reserve notes are obligations et the United States and a first lien on all the assets of the issuReserve bank Feding Federal eral reserve notes are secured by the deposit with federal reserve agents eof a like amount of gold certificates orl gold certificates and such discounted or purchased paper as is eligible under the terms of the federal reserve act etc" "Federal Reserve banks must maintain a reserve in gold certificates of at least 40 per cent including the redemption fund which must be deposited with the treasurer of the United States against federal reserve notes in actual cir- culation" There is $15410130365 of all kinds of money in present circulation Because of the law of parity all money from the cent up is equalized It should be noticed that there is gold enough set aside to cover both gold and silver currency Any foreign government

USE THISIBUB? v4i64' 44 -- ve bassador WinantThe ambassador to London has been in Washington nearly two months working on the program on the basis of his experience with Sir William Beveridge in preparing the Beveridge plan for the British The British government allowed three days of debate in iparliament on the Beveridge plan and then postponed action "until after the war"—a nice shelf on which it can gather dust Not even all laborites were for it The Americancongress is apt to do the same thing with the Roosevelt plan — without the three days of debate There are many excellent notions in the plans but somehow few can bring themselves to seriously consider such political canned goods in the midst of the war No worse time could be chosen to talk of "security" than when everyone can look into his own life and see there is no such thing never has been never will be Wartime Promises The best laid plans of governments and politicians to collect a lot of taxes now on the promise to pay someone $8 $10 or $12 a week in the future never look sillier than when they come up against war with inflationary prices food rationing death and destruction of live s and even governments and their promises to pay The same $8 which might have been security for someone two years ago for instance is certainly not today Men have always strived for security in the past mainly by trying to make themselves rich or by acquiring property and insurance The rich found in 1932 that their way was no guarantee Their paper riches were washed away The poor man has learned the same lesson then and now when the disaster of war with its prices and taxes have nullified his attempts to find assurance against dreaded want Man Seeks Safety as the politicians Yet man well know—first is inclined to seek safety rather than work advancement freedom and adventurous goals at least in thee) days when his leaders constantly gild the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow In truth however security is a negative goal It does not look alaead but back It does not suggest progress and improvement of the individual or nation only a hedging against an old constantly fading norm The only real security today is ability to earn day by day week by week No matter how governments have sliced it you still can't get something for nothing These government plans at best could only bring an unmetisfying measure ($8 a week) of "security" to the 10 per cent or less of the people at the expense of the 90 per cent or more of the people who replenish the treasury Present Security Plan Our own working social security plan already adopted has collected $7000000000 more than It has paid out to the people Comparatively f e w have Most good workers benefited will never get anything out of it and the

speech not only would dispel the skepticism about the nonpartisan nature of the 0 W I output but it would promote national unity and imIt would do prove the national morale these things by showing that so far as the 0 W I is concerned there is no disposition to consider this a new deal war regarding which no one save new dealers and administration officials are worth quoting It would be a disarming recognition of the fact that the money which 0 W I is spending comes from the pockets of all the people regardless of parties and not merely from administration supporters It would show that the 0 W I had sufficient breadth not to ignore a fine speech well designed for its propaganda purposes merely because it is made by a Republican governor who may be nominated for the presidency Undoubtedly the effect of this at home would be salutary but the effect abroad 1 would be equally so It would be convincing evidence to other countries that the president's foreign policies are supported not only by members of his own party but by members of the other party as well: that there is no division in the t7nited States on the war and almost none on post- war policies 0 - Isolation
