 Under leafy camounage they would remain near the commanding ofhcer's tent, and when he had a message that ought to go to another CP, or to the corps headquarters, the cub plane would be pushed out on the concrete hsway. The military police would hold up trafnc momenSarily, never more than eight or 10 minutes, and in no time the graSshopper plane would run a short distance down the hard-surfaced road take of, and be above the trees cruising along in next to no time
 The planes habitually fly very low. And they are camouaged on top they will blend with the forest or ground immediately below them. Tn this way they expect to escape the notice of enemy combat planes cruising across the front lines
 Even if sighted the cub planes would be extremely hard to knock down because Of their agile maneuverS ability Flying at 40 miles per hour, the cubs can dodge, zig gag and swing completely about m circie l50 feet across Fast fighter planes find 1t extremely difncut to fly less than 200 miles per hour-and 1t usually takes half mile for them to swing about ana return. The cubs would probably Do out ot the ar and under cover in that time.

CONTROL INITIATION

WHILE RISING prices and increased incomes
w temporarily give a false sense of prosperity
SerouS imitation leads inevitably to depression anC
heavy Indebtedness
During the first World War imitation stole
away the benefits of wage increases, heavily dis
counted returns from insurance and other invest
ImentS and gave fictitious value to properties Too
late we applied price control methods. Wartime
Initiation ended in business collapse, unemplOy.
Iment, bank failures and farm debacle that shook
the foundations of our economic structure.
Initiation again looms ominousy When the
present war in Europe broke out, a sudden wave
of speculative buying swept through commodity
markets The average price of tWenty-eight basic
commodities quickly jumped 20 per cent. There
followed period Of calm; prices leveled off Thus
by the end of August, 1940 the wholesale price
index of the Department of Labor was only two
per cent above August 1889.
Under the pressure of British buying and the
impetus of our own defense program sharp price
rises began>n 1911. Limited production capacities
inability to get imports and buying for inventories
cauSed real shortage which, with speculative
markets, has resulted in an upward price curve
paralleling 1914-1916.
Price rises have been rapid and general dur
ing the present year, and the all-commodity index
of the Department of Labor is % per cent above
pre-war figures.
Costs Of living are already rs per cent above
pre-War, SO per cent above last year and-unless
AS living costs rise, income is reduced to the same
degree. Voluntary control is not enough. This rise
in living costs indicates trend which previous
experience demonstrated to be disastrous.
There must be control with power to enforce
That power must be made to apply to prices Of all
commodities. There should be the necessary safe
guards together with a limit on the duration OF
price control.
Wages like all other forms of income, are not
prices but compensation for free human labor Al
though price control procedure has been set up by
law IN every country concerned in the war, only
Germany was authorized to control wages at the
time this was written
In a free country compensation for human
services must continue to be based on contracts
between those cOncerned-in the case Of wages
10y means of a contract determined by collective
bargaining But unless we have effective price
control the very basis of collective bargaining and
business stability will be disrupted by imitation.
Unless we have effective price CONTROL defense
will cost billions more in debts than should be
put upon the future and will force us into ntoera
bic DEPRESSION

COCKEYED PROPOSAL

I0N THE PLEA that we must prevent imitation
- and preserve democracy, Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau proposes to increase the tax
burden by five six billions. TO do that he plans
to mop up' every surplus dollar in the pockets of
American workers.
Mr.. Morgenthau is a very rich man. He didn't
make his money, he inherited it, He has never
known what it was to urgently need another pair
Ioi pants and not have money enough to buy them.
It's no wonder he's out of touch with the masses.
Unless he's restrained he may oVeItuln the Ad-
applicant.
After going through a 10-year period of semi
starvation, the American worker has few extra
dollars in his pay envelope. He would like to spend
some Of them and also save a little something for
that ''rany day" which is sure to follow the big
war.
If Mr. Morgenthau has his way, he will grab
Iall those extra dollars and few more He will re-
Iduce the workers to bare-eXStencc level. In the
meantime, munitions makers, government contrac-
tors and other profteers will wax fat.
It's heartlesS, SenseesS proposal. The Ad-
Iministraton should repudjate it and if that is not
done, Congress should bury it at least 10 feet deep

ARE PLACED IN EMPLOY MENT

Washington, ID. C. llLNS).-In the
nine month period, Jan. / to Oct. 1,
194l, 44,363 young people who got
their practical experience and training
on the National Youth Administration
work programs were placed in jobs in
private industry Aubrey Williams,
NYA administrator, reports.
A high percentage of these young
people were placed in jobs in national
defense industries for which they
were given specific preparation by the
NGA. Among the various industries
in which NYA youth were placed We're
aircraft and parts in which more than
5000 got jobs, shipbuilding in which
more than 1900 got jobs, machine
tools in which 1900 got jobs, electri-
cal machinery and equipment in which
1890 got jobs.
Of the 344,363 NYA youth who
were placed in private employment in
the nine month period, 229,7Sl were
young men and 1l4,5S2 were young

NOT GOOD SPECTATORS

HAVING RECEIVED many comments that edl

pessmistic and place the United States IN a shoot

this country would be in the thick of it. We
named September Of ii the date While this

This column also stated that it would be in The
Pacific that our attention would be demanded first
There was a tendency to brush off the Yellow
Peril while looking to Htler-but now must
deal fatal blow to the little mitators Of the East
before ringing down the final curtain on the Euro
pean show.
1t wasn't hard to figure that America would
be in the fight After the first World War the Ger
man High Command stated that Germany could
have won the war easily but it hadn't figured on
the willingness Of America to fight for something
that did not concern her
Americans must have hard core of Irish in
them for they dearly love fight and they take
all underdogs to their bosoms. They hate bullies
With Japan attacking us in true Nippon style
we have jumped into total war a bit more quickly
than we thought we would. But even without
Japan's shove, we were not to be long out Of the
swim.
We are not good sidelne spectators. We feel
we can do a better job on the field ourselves-and
can.

DOWN MEMORY LANE
By CHLEO DEsHLER GOODMAN
can see you as you used tc

can see you as you used to be
With pigtails down your back;
Big brown eyes, and freckled nose,
And not an ounce of tact.
Down Memory Lane the years drop
back
TO one all dressed in blue;
With eyes that glistened like a star
The night that | proposed to you.
| view that trust upon your face
AS though it were but yesterday;
A bride all dressed in white, with lace,

With Watchful eye and tender hand
You placed his cradle by your chair;
And how you wept those bitter tears
The day we first did cut his hair.
| pause to wipe away tear,
For Time has failed to heal the hurt
That cold and blustry winter day
We stood beside a mound Of dirt
Somehow you never seemed so gay,
For joy in Life was gone;
At times you fairly broke my heart
The hours you walked at dawn.
| think | smell those cookies
That you baked most every day;
To ten dirty little fingers
You always gave them all away.
Now your hair is streaked with silver
And the bloom of Life is DER;
But your lovely disposition
Will be the same for evermore.
| love to sit at twilight
In this, our golden year of Life,
And look across the fireside
To the one who is my wife.

PLACE BLAME WHERE n BELONGS,

IT WAS pointed out here recently that the labor
movement has John l.. Lewis to thank for the
new drive to pass anti-strike legislation in Con
Igrcss. "By calling strike in the captive mines
when there was no compelling reason for it, Lewis
played right into the hands of the labor haters
who were quick to take advantage Of the situation
to raise howl for restrictive laws" it was en-
Iphasized.
At the first writing the strike had been called
off, temporarily Lewis, apparently blind to the
handwriting on the wall, insisted on the strike
being resumed, with the result that now anything
can happen in the way Of restrictive laws. And
to predict that the labor movement CIO as well as
At'L, is one day going to demand an accounting
from Lewis.

! COMMENT ON WORLD ]
! EVENTS !
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Ruthlessly striking at young and
old alike on the flimsiest preteXts, the
Nazis have thrown their repressive
campaign in Holland into high gear
with sweeping DEGREES, reminiscent of
the 10th century Spanish rule of ter
ror over the Dutch and it's dreaded
Council of Blood"
Determined to stamp out a resist
ance which has not been weakened by
the guns Of execution squads, the Ger
mans have steadily multiplied the
number of offenses "endangering
public order and the occupation
forces," so that by now Hollanders
over 16 in all walks of life, are under
constant threat of sudden death or
long Imprisonment for virtually in
significant misdemeanors.
The gravity of this situation was
brought out by sweeping and drastic
decree Of Seyss-Inquart, Nazi COVER
nor, the full text of which has just
come to hand The order, among other
things, announces the establishment in
the Netherlands of a special division
of the German High Court, which will
exclusively hear and deal with cases
of sabotage. The court will act inde-
pendently of military and other courts
in Holland.
"The German Reich fights for the
future of Europe" Seyss-Inquart de-
clares in this bloodthirsty decree.
"This fight demands the ruthless
striking down of all efforts at oppo-
sition. The warmongers abroad, in
cluding former leading men of the
Netherlands, continue thier criminal
activity, their last hope centering on
Bolshevik attack against the Reich.
"They criminally attempt to incite
people who are under the. protection
of German forces to commit acts of
sabotage, thus trying to weaken the
power of the Reich in it's present
struggle. Generally, the Netherlands
people have remained level-headed !;
but some irresponsible, melted and
misled elements have lately allowed
themselves to be induced to commit
punishable acts, intended to endanger
public order and safety and especially
economic development, industrial
peace, and distribution of food and
other suppl to the populace.
"a person committing an act which
is punishable by existing legal regu-
lations and which aims at, or may
cause, a danger to public order or
safety, will be punished as a saboteur;
with death. In the future, therefore,
the death penalty can be imposed in
all cases in which the act endangers-
in it's effect-public order and safety
to such an extent that perpetrators
must be considered dangerous sabo-
teurs."
The new regulation gives the Ger
mans and their Dutch vassals the op-
portunity to punish any offenses they
wish to classify as 'acts of sabotage"
with the most severe sentences known
to criminal law. The death penalty is
not only applicable now to the sabo-
teur, but also to persons who have in
cited him or have been his accom-
plices. No difference is made between
an attempt and the accomplished
deed
In conclusion, the decree announces
the establishment of the special Dutch
division Of the German High Court.
"This special division starts immedi-
ately and will deal with cases sum-
marily," it reads. "Appeals against
its sentences will in no case be al
lowed"
