. Make II a Happy New Year

Uncle Sam is hoping that there will be
a good reason for tremendous New Year
celebration IS 1912 passes out and 1943
takes over The hope is based on the United
States treasury department drive 10 have
one tenth of the national payroll going in
10 war bonds by January l, without first
going through the workers pockets. That
is quite an undertaking but one not imposi-
sible of accomplishment.
In order TO achieve the goal, IL will be
necessary to sign up eight million workers
who at present are not buying bonds on
the payroll allotment plan. Then it viii
be necessary to persuade another 22,OOO.-
900 workers 70 boost their bond deductions
by an average Of % per cent.
This statement Of the situation, which
comes from the treasury department war
savings staff, can be rearranged . bit so as
to give Us peep-hole view of how Ameri-
can workers on the whole have responded
to the 10 per cent deduction appeal.
There will be about 10000, 900 work.
ers, rs of the anniversary of Pearl Harbor,
who should be averaging 10 per cent OF
their salaries TO help whip Hitler.
The returns indicate that 50 FAR APP
proximately one out Of every four Is not
enrolled in the payroll plan. Probably
some of these are buying some bonds. But
on the basis of the cash income, very few
Of those not signed up on the payroll al
lotment are putting ten per cent OF their
wages into bonds.
It appears that one out of every four
workmen are not helping at oil. II all
workers were averaging ten per cent, the
- .av.f hn fok N
$500, 000, 900 a month. As it is, the
workers contributions are only $500, 000,-
600 a month.
Obviously, there are workers who can
not possibly put 10 cents out of every sal
airy dollar into war bonds and support
their families. and pay their taxes next
year. But these are exceptions, and If
everybody did what he was able TO do, the
ones who really cannot make the grade
would be more than offset by those who
voluntarily are doing more than their
share
But whatever the per cent, in the final
analysis it amounts to this: II is going to
take money to win the war. The govern
ment can only get money from the people.
The sooner we dig down and keep on Civ
ing even after it hurts, the sooner we will
be Citing rid of the awful burden which
war always imposes.
And if we don't do it voluntarily we will
have to do it under compulsion. That this
is the thought in the minds of the trea-
sury department officials was disclosed in
q speech by treasury official at Phila-
delphia the other night. Only the trea-
sury officials do not like the word 'com
pulsion." They are seeking another term
but one that will mean the same thing. A
rose by any other name is still as sweet.

Try 1t

Editor The Times: When 1t was
first announced that in the in
terest Of faster service the transit
buses would stop only every Sec
ond or third block, a great many
Of US did a lot or bowling. We
who lived on the bus line thought
it was an imposition TO be asked TO
walk block or a block and a half.
We did lot of complaining the
first few days but we finally got
used to it and now think nothing
of it.
Isn't that the way IL is with
every change? We look to see
what's wrong but don't try to
find what's good about 1t. That
is what is the matter with so many
people on gas rationing. They
look only at the little inconven-
fence they themselves will suffer
and give no thought to the bene-
fits as whole.
/ am sure that after the gas
rationing program is working we
will find that we can adjust our
selves TO 1t just as we did the

right of making decisions binding
upon all the participants. The
United States may find itself in a
minority on a given issue and be
obliged to submit to a decree it
deems adverse to its interests. This
constitutes a surrender of a de-
gree of its hitherto freedom of ac-

To make the plan acceptable, the
jurisdiction Of the council should
be limited to the minimum worth

Washington today to finish his term
When reporters asked him to an
alyze his defeat by Republican E. H
Moore, one of the biggest upsets in
the recent elections, he grinned and
refused.
There are enough commentators
and other people who have analyzed
it already" he said. "I'll leave it to
them"
Il will say that I was surprised,
and I believe my opponent was sur
prised. I thought the Democratic
strength of the State was such that
1T can't happen here
"1t is true that I am not happy
over 1t. But with a war to be won,
and men dying on the battlefield,
would be ashamed of myself If
wasted time crying over the election
or feeling sorry for myself.
Uncertain About His Plans.
ut is now a matter of leaving one
job where I thought I was doing
what I could toward winning the
war, and finding myself another spot
where'I I can keep on trying to do the
same thing"
Senator Lee said he did not know
exactly what he would do after jan
uary 3 when his term expires.
When he was asked about the fu-
ture of the military camp prohibi-
ton proposal, which he sponsored
as an amendment to the teen-age
draft bill, he replied that he did not
know.
The Senate avoided voting on the
amendment by sending it back to
committee.
Asked If he believed his ad-
vocacy of the amendment contrib
uted to his defeat. Senator Lee re-
peated that he did not want to
analyze the result He did remark,
however, that "as a matter Of rec
ord and not by way of analysis" the
prohibition amendment was not
used as an issue in the campaign by
either side.
