MANUFACTURERS SURVEY
ON SPENDING
THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
OF MANUFACTURERS wanted to
know whether or not the taxpayers
money was being wasted in rural
communities by either local, state
or federal governments. To find
out, the association went direct to
the surest source of accurate infor-
nation, the editors Of Americas
hometown newspapers. Replies were
received from 961 country newspaper
editors. Of that number, 41.6 per
cent reported needless spending by
their local governments; 67.1 per
cent said their state governments
were wasting the taxpayers money
in needless spending, and 67.1 per
cent said that so far as their COM
munities were concerned, the fed
eral government was throwing mon
ey to the winds.
A considerable part of the editors
did not content with mere general
statements of waste, offered definite
figures. For example, 161 said local
governments in their communities
could save total of $17,905, 300, an
average of $l11,216 for the 161
communities. AS to state savings,
167 editors, representing Al states,
said a saving totaling $207, 900, 900 in
state spending could easily be made.
AS to federal savings, 201 editors
gave figures for savings in their
communities totaling STA, 432, 200, an
average of $569,3l4 per community.
In response to the question, "What
broad activities of government
might now be reasonably curtailed?"
65.3 per cent said cut out WPA and
relief; 1862 per cent were for stop
ping AAA and farm aid; 31.3 per
cent believed National Youth admin
istration could be dispensed with,
and % per cent would close the CCC
camps.
1t is safe bet that Secretary
Morgenthau would welcome those
country editors as members of con-
gress. Their presence in Washing
ton would insure the reduction in
civilian expenditures for which he
is asking. It is also safe bet
that those country editors know what
they are talking about. No one of
them would hesitate about war ex-
penditures, but each would surely
cut out the non-essentials at this
time

PRICE CEILINGS

IN A WESTERN STATE a straw
vote was taken among workmen on
the question of a ceiling for COM
modify prices, for rents and for
wages. Quite naturally, it showed
big majority, practically 100 per
cent, for ceiling on commodity
prices and rents, and about the same
percentage against a ceiling on
wages.
We are all more or less selfish.
Most of us are willing and anxious
to take, but we are short on CIV
ing. The worker wants more wages
and lower living costs. The farmer
wants to sell for more and buy for
less. The manufacturer wants high
er prices for what he produces and
lower wages for his employees. But
it does not work. If we would take,
we must also give, or the system
fails. To prevent imitation, we
should have ceiling on commodity
prices and rents, and also on wages.

African Front

In the see-saw war of North Africa,
Gen. Rommel's augmented Axis columns
whipped up full-grown counteroffensive
In this past week, finally forcing fall of
Bengasi and clearing of eastern shore
Of Gulf of Sirte.
Success of German-Italian naval and
air units in moving men and equipment
across Mediterranean holds the answer
to this latest flow of the desert tide.
Only last Tuesday, incidentally, did the
London Admiralty acknowledge loss of
one Of its biggest watchdogs of the Medi-
terranean-the 81 ,0O0-ton battleship Bar
ham, sunk by submarine torpedo last
November IS.
Countering this loss to Britain's fleet
was announced commissioning of 35000-
ton Duke of York in time to bring Prime
Minister Churchill to America in Decem-
ber. Although five of Britains greatest
fighting ships have been announced as
lost in this war, at least three and prob
ably twice that number have been added
to active service.

was called upon to weld around the New
World is already in place against Japan.
All the way down the Pacific Coast,
from the southern edge Of California to
the Straits of Magellan at the bottom
of Chile, the Latin American republics
are on constant guard by land and sea.
At no point could the japanese land
on the western rim Of Central and South
America without meeting resistance. Nor
could they cross over into the Atlantic
without passing naval guns.
The defenses are not alright yet by
any means But they employ every
thing the Latin nations can muster.

Mexico Co-operates.
Mexico, acting with the approval OF
the United States, has cleared japanese
agents out of the Lower California pc
ninsula and has moved in troops to guard
that strategic coastline. 1t has placed
the entire Mexican Pacific coast on the
alert, on wartime 1oOtlng, sharpening
the point of this maneuver by signing
mutual defense pact with Washington.
Movements of all Axis nationals-Ger-
mans, Italians and Japanese-are closely
scrutinized under recent order requir-
ing them to present their papers for
Government inspection.
The six Central Americas-G Guatemala,
Ell Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa
Rica and Panama-are too small and too
weak to do much for themselves. But
all Of them have opened their ports and
airports to wartime use by the United
States. Panama is a stronghold Of mill
tary and naval might. Costa Rica has
borrowed $550,000 from lease-lend to
build its first army. And $4,000 900 is
to be spent to finish the Pan-American
highway from Mexico to Panama.

South of Panama, the Republic OF
Colombia has moved troops into position
along both the Caribbean and Pacific
coasts, with special guards at all ports.
A constant close check is kept on jap
anese and other Axis fifth columnists.
Ecuador has ordered all Axis peoples
out of the hump of Pacific coastline
which commands the approaches to the
Galapagos Islands, south of the Canal.
Those who stay face the fate of spies.
There is a great deal more in this last
move than meets the eye. / visited
Salinas last January and saw what was
happening then. Axis agents were pre-
tending to dig oil wells in small conces-
sions surrounded by British and United
States oil fields. They drilled for months
but never produced drop of petroleum.
They spent their week ends in Axis
owned Salinas hotels, in company with
an Italian flying mission which previ-
ously had advised the Ecuadorian gov
ernment but had been displaced by a
United States mission. Employees of the
German news agency, Trans-Ocean, also
vacationed there more often than most
newspaper reporters could afford. So
did the flyers of Sedta, the German air.
line which since has been grounded.
Ecuadors Airports.
To counter whatever plotting was go
ing on at Salinas, Ecuador and the
United States co-operated to build i'm
mense airports along the coast. Osten-
sibly for the use of Pan-American
planes, the landing fields were much
larger than required for commercial
purposes and the runways were made to
handle heavy bombers.
So that vital information stays within
the hemisphere, Ecuador has banned in
termed Japanese from leaving the coun-
try.
