Vital Legislation Concerning
War and Finances To
Be Considered.

Washington. = Senator Austin
(R., W.T. predicted this week that
the United States, England, Rus
STA, China and other nations bat
Ting the axis powers must work
out a plan for stabilizing their
monetary exchanges sin order to
coordinate efficiently our full wal
effort
Austin, assistant senate republi-
can leader, told reporters this
would be one of the many war
problems facing the new session
of congress that will begin next
week.
The Vermont senator supported
the lend-lease program, but he
said he thought it would not prove
ade quate in meeting financial
problems of the joint war efforts
of the allies.
Wide fluctuation among none
tary values of anti-axis nations
could cause serious difficulties, he
said, and must be "neutralized."
eve are going places we never
dreamed we would go before we
get through" he commented.
Only For Duration
Any monetary agreement pro-
baby would be only for the du-
ration of the war, Austin said, but
added that a similar problem
would rise again with peace.
Congressional leaders plan to
begin the second session of the
77th congress on January 5.
The new session ordinarily
would begin January 8, but lead
ers expected general agreement
on delay until Monday, January
5. All pending legislative matters
will carry through into the new
session.
House committees will begin
consideration of major fiscal pro-
blems-writing a new tax bill to
bring in additional billions of fed
eral revenue, and making war
time appropriations with an eye
to trimming non-vital expendi-
lures.
The senate will have three ma
ior matters for immediate dispo-
sition: price control legislation al
ready voted by the house; the eff
fort to disqualify Senator LANCER
(R., N. d.; and proposed legisla-
ton against strikes.
The senate banking committee
is scheduled to complete revision
of wartime price control legisla-
ton January 2 after drastic re-
writing of the measure passed by
the house before the outbreak OF
war.
The senate privileges and cleo
tons committee already has voted
13 to 3 to deny LANCER his seat. A
spirited debate possibly lasting a
week or longer is expected to pre-
cede senate action.
Chairman Thomas D., Utah)
said he will call the senate labor
committee together soon after the
first year to discuss variety OF
bills dealing with wartime labor

FOR PUBLIC
SAFETY

Editor The Times: The posi-
ton of City Commissioner of
Public Safety in Tacoma is not
only a place of prime Importance
but 1t Ia one In which every
citizen feels an immediate per-
sonal interest since II deals 80
definitely with his every day life.
This probably accounts for the
extraordinary number Of sspir-
ants for the place in the present
political campaign.
The morals of a community do
not depend upon the police force.
Like everything else in life, the
responsibility in this rests with
the people themselves. A COM
munity will be just as moral or
as immoral as the dominant
thought prescribes, and this we
might say almost regardless Of
statutory or municipal ordinance
provisions.
With no regard for any par
ticulsr candidate for commits

time. but merely considering
public interest and welfare. II
would seem TO rest upon the
shoulders of the voters them
selves to select some man who
will give TO the city an admin

sires. and BY such methods and
policies as have proven most ef-
ficient elsewhere.
