THERE'S IMPORTANT
BUSINESS YET TO DO

Now that congress has cleared the log
jam created by weeks of debate over the
lend-lease bill, the nations lawmakers
can get down to remaining business that
is every bit as important in its way as
the aid-for-Britain measure.
First on the list for consideration, pos
sibly, should be some means for settling
labor disputes in defense industries with
out resorting to paralyZing strikes. It
should be first for consideration because
the rights of labor are of primary con-
sideration TO all Americans, and the
rights of labor are going to be in danger
unless the mad-dogs of labor's left wing
group are prevented from crippling the
nations defense efforts If the racket
eers are permitted to go ahead as they
have during the last few weeks, public
reaction will be SO severe that when leg
islation is finally enacted it will be far
stricter than is really necessary.
Of equal Importance to the future Of
America is consideration congress must
give to means of financing the gigantic
defense efforts this nation is called upon
to make these days We cannot go on
appropriatlng money, Qiling up debt,
saying let the future take care Of It,
without getting ourselves into serious
trouble Not tomorrow, but today we
should begin considering what means we
will use to ease the burden when it gets
heaviest
National problems have marked time
while congress argued the international
problem presented by the lend-lease bill.
Now that the decks are clear once again,
it is high time TO return to a considera-
ton of our troubles at home We cannot
forever keep our eyes focused across the
sea without suffering disintegration of
our own structures.

New plans for medical and dental
care, and for public health are
being conVassed by physician them
selves. The law steps down from its
grave pedestal at every gathering
Of lawyers and judges, and looks
itself in the eye.
It is no different with neWspa-
pers, radio, book publishers, build
ers, merchandiSers, insurance men,
and-yeS-labor leaders. The more
progressive of all these and many
other groups are looking hard ut
themselves and their institutions.
All OF us, and the human institn-
ton of which we are a part, are on
trial today
That does not mean that all will
be found guilty of failure Ito rem
der constructive service designed
to meet the changing conditions OF
a dynamic society" Far from it.
We believe firmly that most OF
OUR institutions are sound and,
with intelligent modification, will
survive.
The best hope of survival lies in
this mood of critical self -eXamina-
ton, this willingness to move vol
unfairly and intelligently with the
times. 1t is this lf-starting ad-
justment from within that makes
violent and revolutionary change
from without both unnecessary and
undesirable.

There will not be many who will quar-
rel with Speaker Sam Rayburn's eonten-
ton. in an address before the Bond Club
of New York. that the billions being
spent fer defense-eyen up 10 the i'm
mense amount Of 35 billion dollars
should be paid for by the taxpayers of
this generation. Mr.. Raybum would add
To the estimated income of two billion
dollars from present defense taxes. a
billion and 4 half additional annually
making the defense debt self-liquidating
in ten years.
If the nations ordinary debt had not
reached such colossal proportions in re-
cent years there might be excuse for stag
gering the repayment of these billions for
defense over a more extended period. But
While big share Of the ordinary debt
comes due within the next Is years every
one knows that in the normal course Of
events that debt will be refunded and
passed on TO future generations as part
of their heritage from the 1930s That
would seem to be about enough for them
to shoulder.
By the same token, the non-defense eX-
penditures are allowed to run the other
category of debt up without control. So
far as the pains OF payment are concern
ed there is no difference between on bond
and another.

FEW CHANGES
IN PERSONNEL

On the other side of the pic
ture, the reasons given for putting
through the reorganization were
that the three former agencies
were always quarreling with each
ether, and the internal rows of
the old Air Safety Board finally
made reorganization necessary by
presidential order. Congress just
missed disapproying the reorgani-
zation by a narrow seven vote
margin in the Senate.
You can take your pick as to
the merits of these two points of
view. but the facts are that while
the Department of Commerce pro-
yides shelter, printing and other
routine chores for today's CAB,
Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones
has no control over its budget,
personnel, conduct or rulings. The
board is appointed by the President
and it reports TO Congress.
Furthermore, the changes in
personnel of the three agencies,
when combined into one, were
relatively few. Out of a total per-
sonnel of 5000, there have been
fewer than so designations of en-
ployes other than clerks since last
