Sees 100 TO ESQ Millions
Available by U. S. Lottery
BY DAMON RUNYON

ONE Of our readers, a gentle
~ man who claims 10 have
made considerable study of the
matter. thinks our estimate of
the sum of money that would be
raised annually by a national
lottery for army and navy relief
IS off at least Sl50,000,000.
We suggested that such a lot
terry would produce 100000, 900.
Our correspondent puts the fig
urc at S25OO000O0. and says he
is being conservative. This sum
would not only take care Of all
the required army and navy re-
lief, providing substantially for
the families OF the men in the
service but would probably leave
a considerable balance for gen.
cral relief work.
II would render unnecessary
all these movements by patriotic
civilian organizations. now one
of the noblcSt CndeavorS OF the
war. though as we have said be-
fore the fact that these move
mCntS seem imperative is a sad
commentary on government
that can spend billions on COM
paratIvely trifing enterprises.
It would release 10 other inn
portant fields the efforts of the
ladies and gentlemen engaged in
this form Of war work.
our idea is that the national
lottery would exist during the
war and then only as an expert
mont that could be quickly ended
if il did not work out well, OF
course If it turned out a great
success it could be continued
indefinitely perhaps as means
OF increasing revenue for old
age pensions. A national lottery
for this last purpose has been
suggested before by others.

Congress Out Of Step

THE labor botte-neck in the American war effort is
