 When Axis leaders call the democracies soft and speak of degenerate Yankeedor." they thinking of civilian morale not our Army and Navy.
 They know our men can fight. that our weapons are the worlds best But they figure civilian population can't stand sacrifice inconvenience

 While haven't had to make the sacrifices the the home front with will and determination
 We are facing undreamed-of changes in our lives without flinching.
 Two weeks ago there was sugar rationng.
 Last week gas rationing.
 Then price freezing.
 Price freezing is the most drastic operation ever performed at one lick upon the American body econ omc. It is an experiment vast, with such enor- nous compcat atons that it affects every business and every individual
 Yet the nation took price freezing in its stride. As the regulations went into effect Regulations everybody accepted them with less excitementN than was caused by cutting cuffs off mems trousers.
 No murmurs. No whimperings.
 Americans met this mighty change like the pat riotic, determined people they are-willing to make any sacrifice for victory. dicted would come when ratoning got tight; when price freezing "interfered" with business?

TAKE YOUR CHOICE

Although many American workers still are unem ployed, the time is at hand when an outright shortage of labor will be of major problems Already it is a vital problem in areas and in industries This fully jlstifes the policy laid down by Paul V. McNutt, Chairman of the Manpower Commission, in statement best summarized as warning to every ablebodied to work fight"
 Technically, this policy takes the form of lim- tied program of freezing" workers in their present jobs in essential industries This is to prevent the so-caed pirating of labor between industries des perately striving to find enough skilled hands. The policy also finds expression in plan by which ployment ceners will report to seectve service when a man of military age refuses job in a war in dustry without reasonable cause.
 Thus are moving toward the precise policy in operation in Canada, where the principle of work or fight" has been applied in spite of the lack of universal conscription law for service Can adan farm workers are not allowed to leave the farms. If they do they wind up in the army. Other Canadian workers if they leave jobs in essential in dustres, must have clearance from their draft
 These are drastic measures, undeniably. But they are necessary to insure the maximum war effort on the industrial and agricultural fronts. Working and fighting manpower come from the same reservoir. We must that every able-bodied of military age finds something useful to do-useful to the nation in its time of peril. That must be the aim of any man. power policy while we waging total

SETTING THE EXAMPLE

No country on earth has many automobiles per capita as the United States. In no country is the automobile such necessity in the daily life of the people. We have used it universally that steam and electric railroads long ago discounted the bulk of their inerurban service throughout the country, and interuban tracks have been generally abandoned and torn up. Now as war necessity people are re- qured to give up, to large extent, this basic means of transportation. When gasoline rationing went in to effect many congressman and senators who regu- late the acts of private citizens signed up for x cards giving them unlimited amounts of gas on the theory that their driving essential to national defense

car for public official less needed than in Wash
 ngton D o. where taxicabs are as thick as fleas on dogs back and rates are the lowest. Most con gressmen and senators live in apartment houses and hotels where it is more advantageous to use taxi cab than a private car. Writing on this situation, Raymond Clapper says The attitude of these sena-
 tors and representatives makes ones blood boil This gasoline grab is a glaring example of privileged of
 ficialism asking the common people to make sacri- fces which the offceholders do not wish to share. It's high time that our growing army of public wants which is acquiring and more special privi- leges was set back it's heels and made to eat the same kind of bread it rations out to the people,

 The area, the terrains and the climatic conditions of Great Brit ain are not advantageous for flying No matter how many fighting planes we build in America and send to England, it is not possible to base enough squadrons in the British Isles to equal in striking power the squadrons that Germany can base on the continent of Flu rope.
 Suppose we had an air force that we could send to Europe. Where could it operate? Some of our squadrons might be based in the British Isles; but it is physically impossible to base enough aircraft in the British Isles alone to equal in strength the aircraft that can be based on the continent of Eu- rope

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
WEDNESDAY,. JUNE I'd

 This is an uncertain day in planetary government althoug h there are strong benefic aspects. Labor and aviation are under for tuhate direction.
 HEART AND HOME: This is a lucky wedding day. Marriage cere- monies performed in the evening should be fortunate. The stars are kindly in their sway and seem to encourage prosperity through work instead of Influence or special priv lege. It is an suspicious date for courtship but does not seem to pres age speedy engagements. Young men are likely to be cautious about future responsibilities. Whatever is connected with theatres or places of entertainment should bring suc- cess under this configuration. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The re- cent Saturn Uranus conjunction ended trend in world affairs that began in 1889. Business will sustain the war in a truly heroic manner and should find encouragement in signs that the conflict is reaching turning point most fortunate. for the Allied Nations. Peace moves and propaganda that is treacherous may influence minimizing persons even financiers may be affected by spacious overtures but the United States is geared for a def mite triumph that will ignore all compromises. Lasting peace is to be assured only after sweeping vic- tory
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Despite te newspapers and the radio there will be perplexity regarding actual war conditions Many commentators will add to the mental fog that is due to wise censorship. Absolute faith in the leadership of those who carry the heavy burden of directing war policies must be maintained as every man and woman of the nation contributes to the colossal work entailed by our part in the conflict. This is time to labor without criticism or complaint, as- trologers emphasize
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: With Saturn and Uranus adverse to him Winston Churchill may meet new difficulties. The downfall of his government is not likely all though from time to time severe criticism is aimed at him His great danger is possible physical break down after his long service to his country, the seers declare. He prob ably will escape any serious setback and will be stimulated by the grow ing power of the United States as an ally.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of extraordin- ary activity. Danger of too many temptations to invest for quick re- turns is forseen.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be strong in body and forceful in character. They should be talented and energetic but may be inclined to take chances in love as we'll as finance.

 To experienced Washington ob- servers there were two puzziing fea- lures about Tydings' report.
 One was that his charges were extremely old news It needed no Senate investigation to reveal that thousands of dollars are wasted in government press releases. It's. a story that has been harped on for years; also one about which Con- gress, with power to end the waste, has done nothing.
 The other puzzle was where the economy was in Tydings' loudly ballyhooed economizing.
 To prepare his report, Tydings sent out large stacks of question: naires to the government agencies. One department alone received 8 pounds of questionnaires. To reply to these questionnaires required l9 pounds of paper and an expenditure for clerical work of $8,l96 in public funds. This was for one department alone-a relatively minor one.
 Conservatively, it is safe to es- innate that Tydings' report cost taxpayers not less than $15O,OO0- for information that has been known for years and which could have been confirmed in detail by making a few telephone calls to any of several scores of Washington news bureaus
 But, of course, that wouldn't have been the political way to economize And politics is all-important to the poiltics-as-usual boys on Capitol Hill.

 If the people of the Pacific Northwest con- vinced that the gasoline ratoning set for June ac tually some purpose, they not only will be reconciled to it-they will welcome it.
 And in that connection suggest few mom- ents of study of globe of the world, or in lieu of that study map. Note what this page frequently has mentioned-that Alaska is likely to be the crucial area of the Pacific war, serving either our base of attack upon Japan proper Japans first point of contact in advance upon continental United States In any case Alaska the waters off Alaska are quite certain to be the scene of battles on gi gantic scale--and who knows how soon?
 Then note that Seattle and Portland are days closer to Alaska than the California ports, and of course weeks closer than the eastern ports.
 We are not in the confidence of Leon Tender son or the army and navy, but we do know that if we were the high command, we would want every gasoline tank every oil tank in the Pacific North west full to the br-just in case. It may be neces- sary to have lot of additional gas and oil in Alaska and have it there quickly.
 We offer the thought to those who may be in clined to grumble when ratoning starts and when they hear there gas and oil in Pacific Northwest tanks.
