MEN--MACHINEs--AND MONEY

Most of us think of war EXCLUSIVE
ely in terms of men and machines.
But there is another essential to the
prosecution of war--money.
The role played by banking in
this war is, therefore, of the first
Importance. Men must obtain money
to expand their plants--and they go
to the banks. Men seek understand
ing of the many complicated finan-
cial restrictions laid down by the
government--and they go to the
banks. Billions of dollars worth of
War Bonds must be sold to the
public--and the banks do a large
part of the job. The Treasury freezes
the vast financial holdings of enemy
governments and enemy nations in
this country--and it is up to the
banks to see that the freeze goes
quickly, efficiently and completely
into effect.
SO the story goes, in hundred
varied fields of financial activity.
Banking is in the war to the hilt.
Men, machines and money make up
the combination that is necessary
to eventual victory.

EXTRAVAGANCE HELPS
HITLER

"Extravagance in any form, by
citizens or by government, imper-
lis the war effort" wrote DR.. Henry
w. Wriston, president of Brown
University, recently. individuals
are asked to reverse their habits of
spending if imitation is not to de-
stroy their substance. The same OBJ
legation rests upon the government.
"If we proceed without waste, if
we increase our productive power, if
we decrease our expenditures for
essentials, we cannot only sur
vive but survive without bankruptcy
This can be done only if considerat-
tions of political advantage are
put ASIDE, only if government cur
tails it's own activities as it expects
citizens to curtail theirs, only if the
government makes its policies con-
sistent with each other"
At the present time, government
is taking strenuous steps to reduce
consumer purchasing powr, in order
to prevent imitation. That, as well as
the production of needed revenue
for the treasury, is one reason for
unprecedented taxation and for
ever-increasing sales of War Bonds
and Stamps. 1t is, forecast in some
circles that system of enforced
savings will be eventually adopted
Yet government spends "as usual',>
Government will not swallow the
medicine it prescribes for the peo-
pie.
Every dispassionate survey indi-
Gates that Federal expense can be
reduced billions year without i'm
periling the war effort. The cuts
could be made entirely in non-war
expenditures. But that will never
be done until the people demand it,
and kick out very public official who
refuses to cOoperate

THE BIGGEST BUSINESS

The recent decision of the War
Labor Board in the little steep'
case should cause a good deal Of
thinking throughout the country.
The Board allowed steel workers
substantial increase in wages, de-
spite the fact that many liberal as
well as conservative economists are
convinced that higher wages will
make adequate price control i'm
possible, and start potentially
disastrous infiationary spiral.
The Board then decided in favor
of so-called "union security. What
that means is that men who are now
members of the union cannot resign
from it. They must continue as
members, and must continue to pay
dues, irrespective of their personal
opinions and desires,
The question this raises is of i'm
mense Importance. The labor unions
constitute the biggest of the coun-
try's "bg businesses. Inasmuch as
practically all war industries work
under the closed shop or the union
shop plan, the unions take" in
initiation fees and dues reaches in
credible proportions. Yet this big
business" as distinct from all other
"big businesses" is not subject to
regulation or public control in any
shape, manner or form. No public
accounting is made of the receipt
or distribution of the vast sums it
receives. 1t is an absolute fact that
small group of union heads has
far greater power over the life and
destiny of this nation than any
other private group ever possessed.
1t is also fact that no man can go
to work in a government-finance
war industry which is making the
instruments of war on which the en-
tire nation depends for survival,
without paying tribute to a union--
and without accepting iron-handed
dictation from a union.
In short, labor leaders are in the
saddle, and they are riding hard.
They can ride us straight into a die
tatorship--with themselves as dicta-
tors--until government takes over
all labor and all business as in Ger
many. The tragedy lies with labor
in the failure of it's leaders to
grasp the issues at stake

SOCIAL SECURITY BOARD RE-
QUIREMENTS FOR CANNING
PLANTS EXPLAINED

In this part of the State there
are great many men and women
who spend most of their time work.
ing on farms or in domestic service,
except for the summer months,
when they find employment in the
nearby canning plants, it was stated
recently by VIM. M Donlin, Acting
Manager of the Baltimore field Office
of the Social Security Board.
Each of these workers should
have social security account num-
ber card, says Mr.. Donlin because
wages earned in canning are credit
ed to an account maintained under
this social security account num-
ber. Upon their retirement after
age 65, they may qualify for an old
age and survivors insurance benefit;
or in case of death, certain of their
survivors may file clam for
benefits.
Many of these workers, Mr.. Dom
lin stated, do not realize that this
short peroid of employment from
one to three months, could effect
their entitlement to an old-age in
I'surance benefit. However, it is just
this type of employment that might
enable applicants to fulfill the re-
quirements for entitlement, at some
future date.
The Office of the Social Security
Board located at 32 South Street,
Baltimore. MARYLAND. will furnish
la social security account number
card to anyone who applies for such
a number. The Office will also fur
nish a duplicate card to anyone who
has lost his or her account number
card.
Each wage Garner should have
one and only one social security ac-
count number, which he should
keep at all times.

OUT OF TUNE

Testifying before joint Con-
gressional committee in favoring a
proposed bill which would result in
the socialization of all the privat-
ely-owned electric power resources
in the Pacific Northwest, the Secre-
tary of the Interior said: "Only the
government is strong enough to cope
with these monopolistic enterprises.
The government is in the drivers
seat now. You can call it socialism
if you want to-"
Commenting on that, one news
paper said editorially: Would that
Indicate that the government may
also attempt to absorb the telephone
and telegraph companies and the
railroads? And if so, what assur-
ance have we that the process of
governmental absorption would end
in these larger brackets?
would that indicate, as many
have supposed, that the American
people are losing control of their
government and that their Congress
is being hamstrung to accomplish
objectives such as the Secretary
visualizes--s --socialistic, if you want to
call them that?
SAT a time when everyone in
America is being called upon to
contribute to our all-out effort to
win the war, and big business is
being relied upon or unprecedented
war production, Secretary Ickes
whangs a cymbal decidedly out of
tune with our concept of what we
are fighting for"
The economics of the power stu
alton are basically simple. With new
war plants coming into production
in hundred fields, every available
kilowat of energy will soon be
needed. That goal can only be
reached if the productive capacity
of both the private industry and
the public plants are used to the ut
most. But the advocates of socialism
don't want that. They want to de-
stroy every vestige of private own
ership in the power industry--and
to turn it over, lock, stock and bar
rel, to the politicians.
The Oregon Votel told the plain
truth when it recently said: Com
plete public control of the electric
power resources of the Pacific
Northnest--will not add one kilo-
watt-hour of energy for war pro-
duction needs; in fact, would give
less efficient generation"
The drive for state socialism is ON
in full force--and the methods being
used follow the Hitler technique Of
divide, isolate and conquer an
industry or country. How long
before the American people will

FREE ENTERPRISE FIGHTS
THE WAR

In the view of many authorities,
one of the main reasons for the re-
verses suffered by Hitler in his Rus
sian camapign last winter, was lack
of railroad transportation. Hitler
had pinned hi faith on highways and
trucks as the ideal means of trans
port, and the government-owned
German railways were permitted to
deteriorate. Since then, the Ger
mans have no doubt concentrated on
rebuilding their railroads.
In this country, luckily, the rail
roads were never allowed to go
downhill. The Post, of Belle Fourche
South Dakota, tells the story well
in these words: Though many lead
ers in this country believed that the
truck and highway were taking the
place of the railroad, railroad build
ers did not let themselves be pulled
under by this belief. They continued
to repair roadbeds, to construct
stronger freight cars and more
powerful engines. They concentrat-
ed upon safety and speed.
''Then war came to our nation.
Oil tankers were sent to the bottom.
Fleets of trucks or pipelines could
not carry enough oil to keep the
wheels turning. An oil shortage
that would retard the war effort
threatened. But the arilroad lines
were still in order--at peak of
efficiency--and down the well-tended
rails sped trains of tank cars. The
war industries of the nation were
kept at full speed because the rail-
roads of the United States had not
been allowed to deteriorate.
"The trucks are still in use, still
necessary, but for the long, fast
the place of rails. Free enter
prise, which permitted railroads to
develop in a time when trucks
seemed to be the coming mode of
transportation, free enterprise may
mean the difference between victory
and defeat for Hitler, the dictator. :"
Think of that the next time you
see railroad rain. It is as much a
par tof the war effort as battleships
and planes and guns---it is one of
the greatest, most dependable mill
tary resources the United Nations
posses. And it is free private en-
terprise.

MUST TURN IN OLD
PARTS WHEN BUYING NEW

Farmers are advised by the Ches-
ter county USDA WAR Board that
when they purchase replacement
parts for passenger automobiles or
trucks, it is now necessary for them
to turn in the used part in order to
purchase the replacement. This is
in connection with the WPB limita-
ton order L-158, effective July Is
1912.
The order restricting sales by dis
tributors prohibits any distributor
from selling or delivering and re-
placement part (excepting cab as
semblies and parts, such as fuses,
and flares which are consumed in
use) to a consumer unless the con-
sumer delivers to the distributor,
at the time the purchase is made,
"a used part of similar kind and
size for each new replacement part
delivered to such consumer"
Likewise, the order prohibits the
sale of any "new replacement part
to a consumer to replace part
which the distributor can recondi-
tion by use of available recondi-
tioning facilities.
If part has been lost or stolen,
it is pointed out it is possible for a
farmer to obtain new part in such
a case by presenting statement
describing the manner in which the
part was so lost or stolen.
Chairman Mendenhall Of the
Chester county board, in comment
ing on the order, stated that IL this
order is universally observed and
enforced 1t will materially contri-
