Burton Sees Plan as Premature.
Germany tried that before the
war. establishing the greatest bu-
reaucracy the world had ever
known. 1t led to dictatorship and
unless the people of this country
put stop to bureaucracy and regi-
mentation after the war our demo-
cratic republic will be lost to them
and totalitarianism will follow in its
wake"
Senator Burton, Republican, of
Ohio said he believed it was wise
to think about the things to be done
after the war, but unwise to go into
concrete details at this time"
Senator Burton said he believed
"those things which must be done
to win the next battle" should be
separated from those that can take
time" with care to avoid any dis
cussion now that might cause fric-
ton among the United Nations and
possibly hinder the war effort.

Mr.. Root said there is still the

Mr.. Ickes asked for Mr.. Nelson's

punished, that the defeated nation
realizes its defeat and is not per-
mitted to rearm.
"The military disarmament will
have to be backed up with psyche

at least inspection, of the school
systems of Germany and Japan, to
undo 50 far as possible the diabol-
ical work of Hitler and the Japa-

Aimed at Preserving Peace.
The proposed world council would
preserve peace and promote the
general welfare after the war, while
leaving purely regional problems in
regional hands, he said in his speech,
which was regarded in the Capital
as major administration pro-
nouncement of postwar plans and
policies.
Mr.. Wallace suggested as the
guiding principle for international
organization after the war the
maximum of home rule that can be
maintained along with the minimum
Of centralized authority that must
come into existence to give the
necessary protection
The objective would be four-fold:
"To preserve the liberty, equality,
security and unity of the United
Nations - liberty in the political
sense; equality of opportunity in
international trade; security against
war and business depression due to
international causes. and unity Of
purpose in promoting the general
welfare of the world"

Morgenthau Opposes
hugenf Postwar q
Buying Plan e
Believes War Bonds
Offer Better Way to
Pile Up Savings

By the Associated Press.
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau expressed opposition yes
terday to the Nugent proposal for
advance installment buying of con-
sumner goods for postwar delivery.
1t would give people at home an un-
fair advantage over men on the
battle fronts, he said.
The Secretary told his press con-
ference he could see no advantages
over the present War bond program.
Mentioning the proposal of Rolf
Nugent, OPA official, Morgenthau
said it would leave men in the
armed forces "out in the cold" while
permitting people at home to build
up priorities in variety of goods
for postwar use.
Asserting this was "the most i'm
portant reason why I'm against
it," Morgenthau said also he could
not see the justice of program
which would operate in favor Of
people earning big salaries at
home" while men in the armed
forces earning $50 a month could
not get in on it,"
Cites Other Proposals.
Nugent's proposal would establish
a system of priorities on durable
goods such as automobiles and re-
frigerators, on which people could
begin paying now for delivery in
the postwar era.
Morgenthau said the Treasury had
received "a dozen proposals of a
similar nature ana he had recently
had the Nugent plan analysed.
HE (NugenD wants us to pay 6
per cent commissions but we don't
have to pay any under the War
bond program" the Secretary COM
mented.
Advocates of the advance INSTALL
ment purchase proposal have con-
tended it would syphon large sums
of money from war-inflated econ
omy and thus act as curb on in
f1ation and in addition would pile
up backlog of durable goods orders
for industry.
Morgenthau said the same pur-
pose could be accomplished with
War bonds. you can buy a
War bond and turn it into cash in
go days and buy whatever you
want"
Drive Goes Over Top.
The Treasury's gigantic Victory
loan drive has gone nearly S3,000,-
100000 over its original goal of
$4,000, 0000 900 in December loans.
Secretary Morgenthau said.
Up to Saturday night subscrip-
tons totaled $11,s46 100000 and I'VE
are sure it will go considerably over
$4,000, 100000 before the month is
out he added
| A breakdown of subscriptions
showed $7O71 100000 received from
non-banking sources and s4,875,-

fault. She did it on purpose.
II a movie actress couldn't
wear a 5000 dress more than
twice without the fans starting
10 sheer, she had to have a lot
of $500 dresses, resulting in good
business for the dressmakers.
1T was selfish, all right" Miss
Head said. but this is war and
there is no doubt about it, these
new styles will save tremendous
amounts of cloth. We're carry
ing the same idea one step fur
Their by using no new cloth at all

ones, at the price of just one
