PATRIOTISM NOT POLITICS
Riverside PreSS)

tRlVerS1de ffeSS) .------
Congress, in spite of its strategic list
ening post at Washington seems to be
going wrong more than usual lately in its
appraisal of what the American people
want of their representatives.
The public is much less concerned about
the election than about the war. Per-
haps the best politics is congressional
concentration on the war job.
A patriotic woman writes to her news
paper:
"The people of our country repudiate
the milk-toast politicians who trail be-
hind us, waiting to be prompted as to how
they shall vote on life and death policies.
We blush with shame at their cheapening
Of our democracy in this time of crisis.
1--WE, the people of the United States,
want to save our way of living We are
willing to give. to sacrifice and to suf-
fer in order to keep what we appreciate
and love. We are willing to be taxed.
We want the Presidents anti-inflation
policy carried out. We want price con-
trol. We want to conserve our rubber in
order that our army may be as efficient
as possible. We will gladly accept gaso-
line rationing if it is necessary. We arc
not softieS. We want to help with all
our might and soul, and we want to help
now before it is too late.
"The people still admire the funda-
mental virtue of courage. We like cour-
age in our congressman as we'll as in our
soldiers
And this editor likes the courageous
manner in which this patriotic woman
expresses her mind. There's no "softie"

Britt obtained from Federal Judge

GAS, RUBBER,
OIL AND COAL
(Wall Street JournaD

(Wall Street JournaD
If it is true that the Office of War In
formation withheld from the press a
statement on the gaSoine-rubter situation
prepared by Price Administrator Hender-
son, it may have mad good reasons for
doing SO. But it should be the business
of somebody in Washington to bring the
irritating controversy between Mr.. Hend-
Crson and Petroleum Administrator lckeS
over the necessity or usefulness of nation
wide gasoline rationing to an early end.
A shortage of gasoline in the East is no
reason for curtailing its use elsewhere
unless such action will help to present
real hardship or interference with tho
war effort as whole How much gaso
line the country uses involves the rate
at which existing and irreplaceable rub
her tires are to be consumed, the ade-
quacy of fuel oil supply in coming months
for industrial and household purposes
and the volume of coal that must be mined
and transported before next spring.
A great deal has been said about all
these phases of the problem. Both home
owners and industry management have
been urged to convert from oil to coal and
to put in ample coal supply Immediately,
But the necessity of these measures re-
mains in dispute; so long as the contro-
versy RACES fuel consumers will be reluc
tant to depart from their accustomed
practices because departure is always eX-
penSive and sometimes difficult to the
point of impossibility.
1t is senli-officially reported that the
President has directed the collection and
analysis of data on which he will base
declaration for or against nationwide
gasoline rationing and an exposition of
the related rubber and fuel situations 1t
is to be hoped that such an authoritative
settlement of the Ickes- Henderson con-
troversy will very shortly be made In
respect to fuel reserves for the coming
winter alone, time is of the essence.

ARE WE FIT HEIRS
OF OLDER GENERATIONS

Where is the America that gambled to
blast railroads across the continent, that
starved at Valley Forge, that sent men
and women and children across death-in-
tested, trackless prairies to open up great
new states? Where is the daring, the
courage the ingenuity Of our fathers?
Where is their impatience with tradition,
their striving for better world, instead
of the same old world?
They did not ask in complaining tone,
what must give up?' They sacrificed
without calling it sacrifice, and were
happy in the doing of it. 1t was not an
electric refrigerator, or an automobile. or
a few spare hours of sleep they gave up.
It was their homes and, sometimes, their
lives.
We have lost something. Perhaps the
loss is in leadership maybe we have trad
ed action for bland voices and soothing
personalities. Or perhaps the loss is in
ourselves loss of courage and cling
ing to tradition those older generations
would have scoffed at.
Whatever it is, it is the thing we must
regain if our nation and our people are
to remain great. Wherever we can find
again the qualities that are missing, there
we must look for them.
Sacrifice? Let's forget the word.
We're still building America, and that's a
privilege.

Obstacles Seen to
IT, s. Sales Tax

WASHINGTON, Aug. Cup -
Chairman Walter F. George D.,
Ga, of the senate finance commit
tee said today that two practical"
difficulties stood in the way of add
ing federal sales tax to the $6,270,-
100000 war revenue bill.
There is the difficulty of polio
ing such a tax, he said. "but the
principal difficulty is parliamentary.
The house rejected a proposal for
a sales tax and even If the senate
put it in. 1t would face q. difficult
problem in conference"
George was asked about the out
look for the sales tax after the
national retail dry goods associa-
ticn, which in the past has opposed
this form of levy, advocated S
per cent retail sales tax to raise
about $2,5OO,0oO,OO0 a year.
The treasury contends such a
sales tax would be inflationary.

s. Burton Heath
Writes:

President Roosevelt is making a
sutdy of initiation. This is sup
posed to be in preparation for
action in some form or other, per-
haps a new executive order, per-
haps in recommendation to con-
gress, perhaps both.
| With the fact finding facilities
at his disposal, the president will
not have to rely upon what every
man knows. And yet, we wonder
what his researchers will produce
other than elaboration upon a few
fundamental sets of facts?
First, the factories that used to
make consumer goods now are
making armament and munitions
and supplies for the fighting forces.
To do this, they are employing
every worker they can get.
Therefore, we have more money
but fewer consumer goods. This year
as a nation. We shall have close
to 10 billion dollars of income,
but not more than 70 billion dollars
worth of good en- which to spend
it.
That leaves 40 billions for saw
ings, including war bonds, for taxes,
and for initiation Out of that 40
billions we can and will pay ex-
cessive prices for anything we want
and can buy, unless Leon Hender-
son can keep prices down. That
will not lead to initiation. Thai
will be initiation.
Second, Mr.. Henderson has i'm
posed ceilings on almost every
thing. But not on farm products,
and not on wages.
Third, prices already are very
high. Paced by the sprint in ag-
ricultural commodities, the most
recent basic commodity price in
dex of the Labor Department shows
that prices generally have risen
more than two-tnirds since Aug
ust. 1899.
Fourth, the wages paid to the
workers-whether computed hourly
daily, weekly or monthly-are at
an all-time high Almost no group
has failed to profit from this. The
War Labor Board has set Is per
cont above the level of Ian. /
194l, as the point at which wages
are to be pegged.
Fifth, all these and other econ
omic developments are based upon

WHATS WRONG, AMERICA?
What's lac matter with us?

Nnal S the 00aIlcG WIFI US
We're at war We're in the bloodicSt,
most ruthless war the world has ever
seen. We called the last one the World
War, but it really wasn't that. This one
is. No continent no ocean has escaped
the conflict at first hand. No country in
the world has not lost men this time War
is everywhere. and it is war to the death.
In this war America tries to maintain
the attitudes of peace. What's wrong?
Why arc, we SO blind?
Our own men are bleeding their lives
away in every theater of action. Our own
wealth is being blasted into nothingnesS
by the guns of piratical enemies. Our
own lives and our own futures are i'll the
balance, and the lives and futures of our
sons and daughters.
We sit by playing childs game of war.
Are we unworthy of our heritage? Are
our senses dulled by too many crises,
manufactured for us by ambitious politi-
clans? Are we too moronic to realize the
vast meaning of the thing that is upon
us, of the conflict in which we are en-
gagged?
Something's wrong.
In Chicago labor union announces
that it will rescind its offer to "Sacrltlce
double LAY on holidays, unless other labor
unions take the same action.
In Imperial Valley-yes, right here at
home some of us demand pay for
patriotism, pay for manning air raid list
ening stations.
In Washington, congress refuses to
touch the most vital internal economic Is
sues of our country because election time
is coming.
In California, lour complaints go up be
cause the army asks us not to go deer
hunting this year.
In our national administration, our
leaders sideEtep grave issues because the
settlement of them would alienate large
blocS of voters.
In our elections. we stay away from
the polling places because we're interested
in something else.
In our gigantic corporations, we find
great interests hindering production be-
cauce they do not want competition after

WE
the Women
Nv RUTH MILLETT

You can't say to fifteen-year-
old, Look, we haven't time for
your problems. There's a war, you
know, and when it over we'll
get around to seeing about you"
Yet that is evidently the attitude
society has taken, for juvenile de-
liuuency is on the increase all over
the country, in small towns and
large cities.
And it is the girls and boys of
near high school age and high
school age who are getting into
all kinds of trouble.
Judges and others who have to
deal with the problem blame the
war for the evident loosening of
the moral codes of the very young.
They say the kids have an idea
nothing theT do is very important
one way or the other.
Well, this looks like a job that
women can handle. And they had
better get busy
THEY NEED TO
FEEL NECESSARY
The first thing they should do is
work out more plans whereby
young kids can be given respon-
sible jobs where they can see that
they are doing something to help
win the war. Ther need to feel
necessary. =.
They have limitless energy and
enthusiasm-and it could be put to
work In fact they could do many
of the volunteer jobs that busy
housewives are trying to do now.
And, since domestic help is
scarce, they should be encouraged
to do more work around their
neighborhoods. They'll work if it
means they can earn some money
of their own. Every community
ought to have some kind of an
exchange where they can find work
to do.
And their evenings should be
taken care of by planned parties.
It isn't foolish to see that young
folks get to dance and have fun
in wartime. They can't just skip
over their youth because there is
war. They have to have excite
ment. They can't be expected to
Just sit around doing nothing un-
til the war is over, or they are old
enough to be swept into it
In every community women
should get busy on the problem of
keeping young folks working in
the daytime and providing them
with something to do at night.
1t isn't much fun to be too
young" in wartime. But it could
be made less dreary than it is.
