A WORTHY Idea

TT SEEMS to us that DSR Commissioner GreineT has
| the right idea-make the DSR executives ride their
own vehicles and learn how the other half lives.
Half of the complaints coming into the DSR by
riders passed off just ordinary gripping and the
result is no improvement in conditions.
But let some DSR brass-hat wait IS or 20 minutes
while bus after bus passes him up in the rain and wind
strap for half an hour or and be late for dinner
and what happens!
We commend Mr.. Greiner for making the most
sensible suggestion yet.

few rides, under the conditions their GUS

gestions for the systems Improvement

Price Control Bill Called
Threat TO Private Enterprise

in 1887 under his federal
licensing of industry plan, which
Henderson has long favored, but
tens, yes, possibly hundreds, of
individual licenses.
Further, Henderson will be
permitted to determine what
profit the retailer will be al
lowed to make on each COM
modify which he sells under
Henderson license and he will
be further permitted to de-
termine just what system Of
bookkeeping each retailer will
use.
Of course, such a system will
mean countless inspectors, in
vestigators, experts, etc.-all
working under the direction of
the price adminiStrator-each
with the power TO snoop into
the business activities of every
retailer in the country.
The number of employees
Henderson will need to enforce
this bill if it becomes a law is
variously estimated in House
debate from 100000 to 100000
with a pay roll running into
millions of dollars.
2-M arket Manipulation
Under H. r. $500, Henderson
will be. permitted to buy any
commodity he desires in any
quantity he believes necessary
to effectuate price control, and
to sell it at any price he wishes
to any one he pleases, at either
public or PRIVATE sale,
This could give him power to
manipulate markets by Great
ing artificial shortages of COM
modities-and to control indus
try and business generally by
purchasing and Withholding
necessary materials.
3-Penalties: The penalties
set forth in the bill for vio-
lations are sufficiently stringent
to act as a brake upon business.
The penalty clause of the bill
Is so drawn that any employer
can be held responsible for
misstatements of statesmen or
employees and-upon conviction
be fined $1,000 and sentenced
to two years in Jail.
Similar penalties in early
securities control legislation
practically stagnated the early
Securities market and il is an
ticipated the penalties in II. r.
$500 will have a similar effect
on business generally.
4-One-Man Controls: It
provides for a single admins
trator-who undoubtedly will be
Henderson-with absolute pow
ers to write such rules and regu-
lations as he deems necessary
and advisable.
This clause-if ii remains in
the bill-can, in effect, make
Leon Henderson absolute die
tator of business and industry
in this country.
Opportunity to appeal from
decisions of the price admins
traitor is provided in the bill, but
il will be so expensive that
many businessmen will be I'M
able to afford such recourse to
the courts.
The appeal system will. how
ever, provide the administration
opportunity to appoint a vast
number of new judges TO the
Federal Court system.
Whether Henderson becomes
dictator of business and indus
try rests entirely with Congress.
1t is up to the people to express
themselves directly to their
elected representatives IMME-
DIATELY on this important
issue.

Uease-Lend= Explained

THE most illuminating and certainly the most
HONEST acknowledgment of American prodlgalty
in the present made in recent Commons
debate by Britan's foreign secretary Anthony Eden
Mr. Eden spoke in answer to critic OF the British
government, who said:
when this is all over the United States will hold
us in financial bondage"
To which Mr.. Eden replied
THAT is not true.
"Under the lease-Iend arrangement THERE is NO
ACCOUNTING AND NO DEBT PILING UP"
Immediately conscious of probable American reaction
to this frank declaration other British fastened
to EXPLAIN.
u UT the explanation merely CONFIRMED the Eden
- declaration.
1t said Britain lis of committed to return or
replace everything receives and every knows this
is an obligation which must and will be met. MI. Eden
sought the British people that there would not
be another gigantic debt to be paid Off with money
they don't have and won't have and thus there WORT be
the determinations that followed the last war"
If there is ACCOUNTING of what Britain
receives how there be return and replacement
If there is to be NO DEBT for which Britain is
accountable to America after the war, what constitutes
the obligation (which must and will be met 2?
- British people that the leaselend arrangement not
another "hiring" of money and materials as Calvin
Coolidge described the previous arrangement.
Mr.. Eden probably spoke "out of turn, but he spoke
honestly and in strict accordance with the facts

TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, and at least give them
an accurate understanding of the easeend arrangement

WASHINGTON. Dec. ,. -
The following revealing and
startling analysis of pending
price control legislation has
been issued in a special Wash
ington letter TO members of
Women Investors in America.
Inc, of which Miss CathrIne
Curtis is national director.
price Control and Federal
L Licensing: If the price con-
troll bill now being considered by
the House is enacted into law, it
may well end the private enter
prise system in this country.
In an almost unprecedented
action, the House banking and
currency committee has rein
stated the federal licensing of
business clause in the bill.
If this clause becomes law, ii
will give Price Administrator
Leon Henderson complete cor
troll over retail business in this
country.
With complete control over re-
tail outlets, Henderson, he
wishes-can compel industry to
bow to his will, for without free
access to retail outlets industry
cannot exist.
The entire price control
scheme originated with Hender-
son.
A bill-alleged to have been
written by himself and his staff
was introduced in the House
early last Summer and referred
to the House banking and cur
rency committee. The lengthy
and exhaustive hearings con-
Quoted by the committee dis
closed for public record some of
Hendersons strange PHILOSOPHERS
and reverse economics.
A F'TER months of considera-
"A ton the committee finally
reported the bill to the House
without - the licensing clause
which Henderson insisted was so
necessary to his planned control
of prices.
On Monday, November "a,
after the House rules committee
had signified willingness to re-
port rule for immediate con-
sideration of the bill, Chairman
Steagall called sudden meet
ing of the banking and currency
committee and-in executive
session--the committee, by
straight party vote of Ia to 9,
voted to restore the licensing
clause to the bill.
The present bill-H. r. 1890
in many features resembles
the old NRA, which was de-
clared unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court. Many believe
H. r. $780, if enacted into law,
will be declared unconstitutional
at some later date.
Price control, primarily, is a
cornerstone of socialism.
Many historians claim legisla
tive attempts at price control,
similar to that being sought by
Henderson, resulted in the col
lapse of the First French Re-
public and the rise of Napoleon.
History further establishes
that whenever price control of
this type has been tried it has
resulted only in wrecking the
economic life of a nation.
There are four extremely
harmful and dangerous features
in II. r. $500:
THE Licensing Clauses:
This will permit the Price
Administrator - Henderson -
to issue licenses for the sale of
every commodity on which he
places ceiling.
That means every retailer will
have TO have license for each

Draft Deficit Call

An estimated 500 to 500 white men
from the District will be called for
induction into selective service dur
ing four day period beginning Fri
day to fill local board deficits.
Responding to a Sd Corps Area
request. local selective service Off
cials estimated between 125 and $50
men would be called up for induc-
ton each day during the four day
period.
The special requisition resulted
from failure of local boards to pro-
vide sufficient July selectees after
a national selective service request
that men over % years of age and
married men be deferred.
The request. coming early in July
when local boards had built up large
reserves of men with IA classical
tions to meet July quotas. dealt Such
a blow that many of the boards were
unable to rush enough new men
through in time for the July call, it
was explained.
The special reouisltion is in addi-
ton to the regular August call.
bringing the Districts call during
the month to more than 1.400 men.

House Member Not Permitted
To Register Vote on Draft
Sutphin, Supporter
Of Measure, Says He
Didn't Hear Name

The slim margin by which the
House passed the Army service ex-
tension bill wouldn't have been quite
so slim if Representative Sutphin,
Democrat, of New Jersey had been
permitted to register his vote.
The Representative wanted to
vote for the bill. but, odd as it may
sound, his colleagues wouldn't let
him. Here's what happened:
After the last name had been
called in the roll call Representative
Sutphin asserted he had not heard
his name called and wanted TO vote
for the bill. But he couldn't get
recognition.
There was a hurdle around the
Speakers dais and then Represent
ative Short, Republican, of Mis-
souri,, leader of the opposition, de-
manded a recapitulation, an un-
usual proceeding. Speaker Rayburn,
announcing the result of the vote
as 203 To 202, ordered the recount.
The clerk read the list of those
who had voted for the measure and
then Speaker Rayburn asked If
there were any corrections Mr..
Sutphin was back with a demand
that his vote be recorded.
In order to vote under such cir
cumstances a member must have
been in the chamber and yet not
have heard his name called at its
place in the alphabetical order. Mr.
/ Sutphin insisted that this had been
