WAR BOOM FAILS TO ERASE FEARS
over FUTURE OF U. S. ECONOMY

war slump. Bank deposits continue
to rise, the volume Of currency In cir
cu.ation grows Both trends develop
when people hold on TO their money
The failure to spend prevents the
boom from spreading into consump
ton goods industries. Sooner or later,
of course, the money paid out on gov
eminent contracts will find its way
into the channels of trade, but while
the present uncertainty over the eco
nomic future persists, people are more
likely to save and hoard than they
are to buy.
Three economic fears are wide
spread throughout the nation. The
first is the fear of economic break
down when war orders cease. The
second is the fear of price and credit
initiation and of the devaluation of
money. The third is the fear of the
higher taxes that the federal govern
ment will levy on smaller and smaller
incomes in its efforts to fill the in
satiable nav of the budget deficit.
These fears are not restricted to AGA
demic circles. Millions of people are
oppressed by them.
The stock market continues to sag,
with an extra dip in mid-February.
Earnings of war industries and of
many public utilities are soaring, and
must remain high while war business
lasts Billions of idle money are

A THREAD OF UNDERSTANDING

people have resisted the overwhelm-
lingly-superior, mechanical army OF
Japan. To the establishment OF the
whole waiting world, the Chinese have
even gained in powers of resistance
during that narrowing time Yet this
seeming miracle can be explained in
one simple word-Unity. In the coal
ition Of all parties Of China under one
leader, cooperating with single pur-
pose to defend their country, can be
found the source of their strength
The extension OF democracy within
the country, the new regard for the
welfare of every human being Of
China, has brought within the scope
Of combat every peasant, every civil
ian, even the women and children.
Such potent aid have they lent as
food and information to the fighters,
and worrying the enemy with guerilla
tactics behind the lines.
Japan's strategists realize full we'll
this unity must be destroyed, at any
cost, before their foul plans can be
contaminated Thus their diplomatic
war efforts In China have been d.
rected toward bargaining with the
traitors of the country = those ele-
ments within Chang Kai Shek's party
who hope to gain more for themselves
by conceding to Japan than a united,
democratic China can offer.
Students Of the Far Eastern situa-
ton, studying the last loan made to
China by our government, point out
that precisely these weak, selfish ele-
ments within Chinese ranks were boil
stored through it. They warn that re-
cent maneuvers of our state depart
ment are directed to further disrupt
the harmony from which has flowed
the strength Of China.
On the face of it, then, it appears
that the rulers of America will use
their influence in China just as the
Japanese overlords would have them
