so THE TIRE STOCK
CONTINUES TO ROT

(Marysville Appeal-Democrat)
Wendell Lund, director of the war pro-
duction boards labor production division,
may not get all the public attention he
desires, what with so many others with
longer titles cluttering up the scene. SO
as reported by the Associated Press, Wen
dell came forth with the following on
Friday:
"Tires on non-essential private automo-
biles must be purchased by the govern
ment and allocated to war workers who
are cooperating fully in carrying full
loads of fellow workers.
1t is unfortunate that the Lunds in
Washington cannot be forced to keep
their traps closed particularly at time
when the nation is being asked to sur
render its last rubber band in a rubber
salvage campaign. This Lund knows no
more about the actual rubber situation
than does anyone else, and his ill-consid
cred talk merely adds confusion to the
problem.
Until the salvage is in and weighed,
and until competent survey of the ma
tion's rubber stock is made the whole
program would achieve greater public
confidence if there were less loose talk.
If the Lunds and other lungs in the capi-
tai want to get into the limelight, why
let them sound off about giving the war
workers the hundreds of thousands of
new tires rotting on dealers racks
throughout the nation.

for the remuneration of cattlemen
who ranges are taken over by arm

ed yesterday to Gov. Sidney P. OS-

o. c. Williams, state land COM
missioner and chairman of the
group, said congressional commit
tees have acted favorably on legis-
lation to provide remuneration to
cattlemen.
The legislation would make it un-
necessary for the war department

porary use while remunerating cat
tlemen for loss of the use of range
lands.

The contention is that we can't
be surprised If the have not" ma
tons insist upon creating world
wars until they have won, and re-
tanned, their fair share of these
natural resources in full nation
al ownership and under complete
national control.
The idea SOUNDS highly plausible,
when a census of world raw ma
terial sources is cited in support.
Unquestionably Britain and the
United States, France and the Low
Countries did own and control the
bulk of the economic wealth of the
world.
But MeSsrS Hoover and Gibson
have gene straight to the roots OF
the problem. cutting sharply thru
the superficialities with which Ger
man propagandists and misguided
economists confused the issue un-
Ill the japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor made words futile.
THE economic fact is" say the ex-
president and his collaboration
that there always have been and
are ample raw materials available
to any naticn during peace if they
will produce the goods to exchange
for them"
Germany and italy and japan
couldn't get enough raw materials
through normal international trade
because they were using what they
had TO make war machines, instead
of producing commodities to cX-
change for more materials.
1.-The cry for equality in raw
materials is partly cry that comes
from a desire for assured war SUP

The plausible fallacy of econom-
ic determinism = the theory that
world wars are inevitable until the
nations create sort Of communism
of natural resources-is exploded
pretty thoroughly by Herbert Hoov-
er and Hugh Gibson in their new
book on The Problems Of Lasting
Peace"
Economic determinism is the
idea which nobody has argued
more convincingly on the basis OF
massed facts than did Carleton
Beals two years ago in Pan-Ameri-
ca-that every great nation is en-
titled to own, either at home or
in its colonies, enough of every i'm
portant raw material to make that
nation completely self-sufficient.
This is the theory of the have
and the "have not" nations. Great
Britain and the United States
France and the Low Countries were
supposed to be the have" nations
monopolizing the worlds natural
resources, controlling them through
some sort of international cartels
and boarding them from the have
not" nations.
The have nots." according to
their own claims and the argument
of economic determinism expOnentS
we're Germany, italy and Japan.
