We suppose that what will
happen is that instead of raising
the soldiers pay the government
will strike off a nice medal after
the emergency for the boys in
token Of its esteem for their
extra service.
That is what happened when
they held the time-expired men
of the national guard over after
the Spanish-American war to
fight the Filipinos. though prac-
tically simultaneously Congress
eliminated the water travel pay
that would have given the lads
nice cash bonus.

Philippines Congressional Medal.

conspicuous on a business suit.
However, the chief disadvan-
tage of this medal was the fact
that you could not spend it.

TO THE EDITOR:

TO THE EDITOR:
IN YOUR editorial of July 90,
under the caption, Voice of
the People" il is stated that
out of 100000 workers ques-
toned by Gallup Poll, 81 per-
cent voted against the federal
government taking over and
operating the concerns they
worked for. Seven per cent voted
in favor of the measure, and
II per cent would not commit
themselves.
How in the name OF common
sense could any one expect any
other results?
People, as rule. are afraid
of any drastic change. and espe-
cially people employed are afraid
of any changes in the manage
ment or ownership of their
sources of employment except
in particular and aggravated in
stances.
am not holding out for fed
eral control or operation except
in accordance with the principles
as laid down in our Constitution
and legal economic history so
far. but il seems that of all the
inane money-making organiza-
tons that have caught the fancy
of the public and the news
papers, the American Institute
of Public Opinion, as directed
by DR.. George Gallup, is the
most quixotic.
AS for peace and free enter
prise being our chief national
desires. there is strange
trickery in language when it
comes TO expressing the senti-
ments and aims of a people or
of an individual.
His story has shown repeatedly
that there can be oyerdoses of
peace and free enterprise, which
can both result in the usurpa-
ton of social and economic
values by a few, ignoring the
rights of great majorities.
This is accomplished and at
all times by corruption, violence,
human SalfiShnpSS and greed
Every one knows free enterprise
can go too far. or Teddy Roose-
welt would not have become a
trust buster. and Tom Dewey
would not have become a gang
buster

'Selec+ee Pay Raises
Urqed in New Draft Bill
BY DAMON RUNYON

WE HOPE and trust that in
w formulating the legislation
10 retain selectees, national
guardsmen and reservists in the
army for the duration of the
emergency. Congress will include
the raise in pay for the soldiers
that we have been suggesting.
We think a boost to a mini
mum salary of $50 per month
for Private Wilberforce II.
Dustdisturber might soothe his
feelings to some extent, and a
clause giving those retained the
difference in the current S21 and
the $50 from the date of their
induction, as a sort of bonus,
would be only a fair return by
the government for the violation
of the agreement that it con-
templates.
We think the legislation will
60 through all right, and we are
inclined TO the belief that it is
necessary. II is tough on the
lads who thought they were in
for just a year, especially those
who had already made plans
for their return to civil life, but
we see no alternative.
WE ARE going to need an
w army of three or four
times as many men as are now
in the service and the seasoned
men are required as nucleus
for the greater force.
But that is all the more reason
why the government should do
something handsome for the lads.
The American army should be
the best fed, the best clothed,
the best housed and certainly
the best paid army in the world.
1t may be the first. second and
third, but II is not the last.
The Canadians get more pay.
In a great many cases, even
salary raise would not compen-
safe our boys for the inconVen-
fence of being held in the service
beyond the time they have been
banking on, but II would at least
be gesture of appreciation, and
big financial help to some.
We notice that the House
naval affairs committee has ap-
proved and sent to the floor Of
the s nate a bill giving the
secretary Of the navy power TO
extend the terms of enlisted men
for the duration of the emer-
gency. this legislation TO apply
only 10 future enlistments or
re-enlistments. But the commit
tee thoughtfully amended the
bill TO make re-enlistments of
some value.
1t doubled the bonus paid TO
men for re-enlisting within "a
hours Of the expiration of their
original enlistment. This would
be a bonus Of $500 for men in
the first three pay grades and a
maximum OF 5000 for those in
the lower brackets.
We do not see why a man now
in the army service who is 10 be
retained for the duration Of the
emergency should not at least
be treated as a re-enlistment
and rewarded accordingly.
OUR only criticism of the bill
" applying TO navy bonuses is
the brief period OF time per-
mitted a man to make up his
mind about re-enlisting, II sail
ors are like the soldiers of our
day, we think a fellow should
have at least three or four days
in which TO circulate about
among his friends and thor
oughly distribute the statement
that he would not return 10 the
service for 81 900. 900.
