A Cut For WPA
Cincinnati Enquirer


President RooSevelt's Recommendation for sub
stantia cut in the budget of the Work Projects Adj
ministration for the coming fiscal year will be well
coined as step forward in the direction Of neces-
sary government economy.
In his budget message last January Mr. Roose-
welt estimated tentatively that $465000000 would be
required during the ensuing fiscal year to continue
WPA Early this week he revised this estimate sharp
ly downward recommending that only S28O0O0,000 be
appropriated for fiscal 1943 This is about onethird
of the available nationally for WPA this year
The President noted that at present there are
still some 100000 persons unemployed. Many of
these however will be hired in the next few months
So long the administration sincerely follows
the policy laid down by the President policy of
providing work relief only to such persons who
not be absorbed by private employers-there will be
less opposition to the continuance of WPA this
drastically reduced scale. But the policy must be
enforced vigorously and WPA rolls must be purged
Of all who be employed in other work
The sum of $28O0OO0O0 still is large one. Per-
haps this too can be cut later. But the admins
tration is to be commended for having made be-
ginning The Presidents recommendation puts WPA
proper wartime basis and effects economy
that has been badly needed.

is SILENCE GOLDEN?

More than week has passed since it was Of
fcially announced by the Navy Department that Jap
planes had attacked Alaska at Dutch Harbor. In
that time outside of vague reports that activity has
continued in the Aleutian area have been told
only that japanese warplanes struck at north
ern outpost twice Wednesday, June g.
Only the brefest of announcements brought the
of the attack to Alaskans and to the American
people Since then silence has been observed.
Perhaps this silence is a necessary thing from
the viewpoint of the military. But it is not good
thing In the absence of official announcement
people will talk And you can't blame them,
+ The casualties suffered by the defenders of Dutch
Harder have not been officially announced. In the
absence of this announcement, people have estab-
lished their own figures, all along the ladder.
Attacks on any other Alaskan post have not been
announced In the absence of this announcement
people have also established the other places, if any
that have been attacked
There has been no announcement concerning how
large a Jap force attacked Dutch Harbor or other
bases or where the enemy force has been if
it has been seen. These angles of the attack also
have been established by the people.
Much of this conjecture now has been accepted
as fact by the majority CT Alaskans Perhaps it is
close to fact Perhaps it isn't. We don't know.
We do know that if it isn't close to fact it is
not a good thing Is it necessary?
To the best of cur knowledge any information
concerning war activities is withheld from the public
only because the public announcement would give
aid and comfort to the enemy. At least, that is the
basis for censorship. We fail to see why complete
silence the situation in Alaska is necessary, how

attack on Alaska is officially released fur

NATIONWIDE GAS RATIoNING

Inere may De QlVlded OPINION
through the country regarding the
need for nationwide gasoline ra-
tioning, especially in the South
west, now glutted with surplus oil.
But there is no divided opinion in
the Office of Price Administration.
A nationwide plan is being drawn
up in full detail and announces
ment will be made soon.
Basic reasoning is that gas ra-
tioning is the, only way to con-
serve rubber, which OPA officials
describe as our most precious and
irreplacable national resource to-
day. sa,s. .ef stssa s
The nation-wide system will diff
fer radically from the plan now in
effect in the Eastern States. Out
standing difference will be the
"flow-back control" { ai7Y
This will require that a filling
station operator tear coupons from
the drivers book every time gaso-
line is sold. And the dealer must
surrender these coupons to the bulk
station before he can get a replen-
ishment of supplies. The bulk sta
ton, in turn, must pass along the
coupons, or certified statement
covering them. to the refinery.
Thus every drop of gasoline will
be accounted for, and a complete
check will be had on distribution,
from the refinery to the individual
gas tank.

Stop and Consider

1t is difficult for many to understand why America
has not gotten into more active combat overseas.
They think that about all to be done would be
for the higher officers to order certain number of
troops get the Russian front; to bomb
Japan other foreign place. They don't realize
the preparation such drive requires. Keep in mind
have only been in the since last December
Luckily, the president and others in high au-
hority the approaching conflict and succeeded in
Strengthening defenses to certain extent; how
ever it not until after the Japs made their sneak
attack on Pearl Harbor killing many United States
citizens that the country awoke to the real situation
In few months since December Z, this nation
has turned its attention to the preparation for the
great conflict, and the speed with which factories
have been turned into defense plants and the swift
ness with which our manpower has been turned to
winning the has been wonder, like of which has
not been equalled in history. Formerly it took
two years complete flying fortress they now
turned in few days. But it is not what we do
home alone that for everything. 1t is also
getting equipment, men, supplies, ETC., across
example: 1t is pointed out that for 1000 air
planes make raid over Germany least mil
lion gallons of gasoline required; and many raids
have been made with than 1000 planes. This
should give idea of the tremendous amount of
preparation necessary
To attempt raid without due preparation would
be nothing short of suicide.

Criticising Lack Of Information

Quite bit of criticism is being heaped the sov-
ernment, many have the idea that information
concerning the is being withheld. Some of this
criticism may be justified and much of 1t is not. If
information is being withheld it is for good
reason, and if we but patient time will reveal
why certain things may have been kept secret Some
times people take it to themselves want to believe
certain reports, and crcise the or some
in authority because they do not furnish the in
formation. making it when it may have been that
We recall during the World one, word
got out that the armistice had been signed. Thls
newspaper along with others, flooded by inquiries
concerning the report. We took pains to investigate
the matter, and best information then was that
the armistce had been signed; and publish
that fact and faulted because did, since
the people determined believe it, and they put
big celebration. Hours later it learned abso-
lutey that the report not true and the armstice
had been signed. Then people more
disgusted and blamed the government-or someone in
high authority for permitting false report be cir
culated.
We have to believe that should certain infor-
nation be withheld from the public, it is for the best
interest Better talk too little than too much.
