A Non-Innation Pledge


n ECLARING that ruinous initiation is longer
- mote threat to the American people but PRESENT
DANGER, Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau said
before the Advertising Club of Boston:
The cost of initiation is too ruinous 10 producer
and alike for any in authority to tolerate
it now.
Il can give YOU only this plcdge-hat this admin
israton will do everything humanity possible to prevent
initiation
The ability OF Mr. Morscnthau to accomplish fulfill
ment of that pledge is conjecturaL
The administration has not only NOT done everything
humanity possible prevent initiation but has assiduousy
refrained from doing essential things which must be
done if initiation is TO be avoided
IT HAS not disclosed disposition to deal frankly and
effectively with the part labor plays causing nfa
ton, and in real fact HAS no such disposition
However, Mr.. Morgenthau is highly placed IN the
administration and influential in its affairs and may
possibly bring administration policies in line with
the real necessities of the situation.
His own views Of the matter sound
He said in his Boston speech that it is not just indus
try and capital and the farmer and the consumer and the
taxpayer who must make sacrifices in this emergency
He said in effect that unless labor is willing to and
MADE to sacrifice proportion to the sacrifices of The
of the people the total of American sacrifice Will be
inadequate and futile. for:
1T is sheer folly for labor leaders to seek
increases in wages every few months-new increases
which in turn produce higher manufacturing costs,
higher prices and a higher cost of living.
AND AFTER ALL OF THE PEOPLE, INCLUD-
ING LABOR, HAVE MADE THE SACRIFICES
WHICH ARE REQUIRED TO IMITATION.
SAID MIR. MORGENTHAU. THE GOVERNMENT
ITSELF MUST FOREGO IT'S USUAL AND CHAR
ACTERISTIC PRACTICES. OF WHICH EXTRAVA-
CANT AND UNNECESSARY EXPENDITURE is
THE MOST USUAL AND CHARACTERISTIC
The federal government he declared should dispense
with mon essential" expenditures.
there are nnumerabe branches possessing the powers
of taxation, borrowing and expenditure should do like
wise he said
Of course Mr.. Morgenthau is entirely and utterly
right
Labor SHOULD make the sacrifices as the rest
Of the American people
Government SHOULD practice strict economy, in the
interest of making the defense burdens less oppressive
upon the people.
But the administration in which Mr.. Morgenthau is
SO influential has dealt with labor vigorously and
realistically has dealt with industry and the Amer
can people as whole and it has not practced economy
Rather the administration has condoned and encour-
aged the excessive demands of labor and has been pro-
fligate instead of economical with the peoples money
IF the pledge given by Mr. Mergenthu is in behalf of
the administration Mr.. Morgenthaus speech is encourag
ing and commendabe
Still in the light of past experience and performances
the prospect of its fulment by voe-buyng New Deal
is somewhat less than encouraging.
And that is putting the matter politely.

But to Mrs. Alice Hull. sitting
with her diary in the front room
of their home at 263S4 Kenwood

sabotage seemed unimportant. All
she knew was that Gerald was
dead-killed in following a calling
that she always feared would take
his life.
READS CRYPTIC MUTATIONS

years. At one time he flew with

was well known in flying circles
here. and left last December for
Canada to fly bombers across the
Atlantic.
"He didn't tell his father and
me that he was ferryiRg bomb

first he said that he was going
to be an instructor over there.
He knew how 1 always worried.
Later on we knew what he
was doing though, and lived
