SOLONS INSISTENT
ON REFUSING POWER

President Roosevelt and Chief
OF staff Marshall returned 10
this argument again and again
in recent conferences with DEM
ocratic leaders from Capitol
Hill. But the latter remained
utterly imper,1ous to White
House insistence that refusal to
grant this power would leave the
u. s. open to a surprise attack.
Il am not opposing this pro-
gram" said the realistic Speak
err Sam Rsyburn Il am simply
telling you that you cannot get
II through the house at the pres
ent moment and in its present
temper" Others agreed that the
danger of a hostile assault did
not seem imminent 10 the folks
hack home, especially in the
middle west. Rsyburn suggested
as an alternative that reenhst-
ment in the army he made more
attractive TO selectees by raising
their monthly pay from S2i 10
$50.
General Marshall questioned
whether that scheme would sue
coed. in view of the openings for
young men in private industry at
high wages. Rayburn retorted
that thousands of selectees could
not qualify for outside jobs be-
cause of their youth and lack Of
skilled training. He predicted
that at least so per cent. and
possibly so. would stay in the
army under this plan. There
MAS no decision. FDR may ask
formally for this authority, but
it will be against the advice Of
his own scouts.

and marketing housewives, also
will suffer.

purposes. But the change that
will be made in peoples daily
habits will he greater than is
realized generally.
The manufacturing switchover
from civilian TO defense products

higher unemployment. As yet
the casualties are slight and
spotty. but public and private

monies created by the produc-

AS for regulating the value
of monies circulating within
the intrinsic value of that me-
dunn OF exchange, that is an
IMPOSSIBILITY. As said pre-
viously, money is useless if
standing alone, it can represent
but the amount of wealth Gre

time. Since no one can possibly
know what the amount will be

that no one nation can issue

In other words, the value of
that new money will automat-

of such monies labor, wealthy

The administration acquired
eight bases from the British in
the destroyer deal, and now is
beginning to equip and man
them. Iceland and Greenland
have been taken over. Washing
ton Is understood TO he negoti-
ating for defense territory in
Brazil and Uruguay. We have
arranged TO utilize Mexican
areas.
There are reports that we are
seeking strong point on the
ksmchatka peninsula, although
this IL denied officially. The
u. s. may obtain control of IL
to Ia outlying bases before the
off-shore defense program u
completed.
There are, however, little more
than $50, 900 trained soldiers in
the regular forces at the pres
ent moment. Divided among
bases now occupied and contem-
plated. this would allow for only
about IL. 200 men at each point.
That figure is utterly inadequate
to furnish pillar for far
flung empire. And. OF course,
their removal from this eonti-
nent for any cause would strip
the army and marines Of the
veterans absolutely necessary or

PULSE OF

AFTER THE WAR,
WHAT THEN:


Editor, The Times: The fate
of the nation is much more
precsrious than most people
realize. After the war. what?
The following is offered as an
open letter to congress, with the
hope of helping prevent much
sorrow in the aftermath. Criti-
eism is cordially invited.
LEO V. SMITH.
THE Members Of Congress.
The Committee on Research for
an Adequate Distribution and
Unemployment Problem.
We Americans worship the
constitution with Just cause.
But. for the good of all of us
in these times of stress, one
major clause is sadly in need of
Qualification. II is that which
states Congress shall have the
sole power of issuing money and
regulate the value thereof We
can readily establish the fact
that the whole of that statement
is wrong. and the last part es-
pecially has no place whatso-
ever in the constitution.
In the first place, no one but
the producer of wealth can pos
sibly create money. The reason
is a simple one. Standing alone.
money cannot purchase any
thing. The wealth il is to buy
must be created first. II is obvi-
Gus that this fundamental rule
applies 10 all monies at all time.
However. the premature is
susnce of money il possible. IN
the provision that whomever
profits from its purchasing
power shall provide its value,
either in wealth or services, to
the generation issuing 1t to him
or them. Congress being
that generations government
and that government being our
selves. it means that if one
issues money to oneself, it is
up TO him TO provide its value
during his own life. For to issue
money TO one self is but to bor-
row ones own time from the
future. and If not paid back by
the borrower, the obligation re-
mains 10 be met towards whom
ever holds that money in the

will neither gain or lose by
