Need Real Leaders

II one Graves popularity and
mass approval, he should be a
band wagon rider. The man who
is ahead of the procession is sub
ject to kissing, even though
eventually events may prove the
validity of his foresight.
But right now conditions are
serious, and the country has less
need of those who pander to
prejudice than of objective fell
lows who can dissect the eco
nomic body, and show how to
make il function effectively
under present abnormal condi-
tons.
My hat is off to Economic
Administrator Byrnes. Instead
of chatting unrealistically about
maintaining social gains, Byrnes
calls on the people for spartan
living standards for the dura-
ton. Byrnes indicated that the
public must be ready for tenn
porary backsliding in living
standards.

4O-Hour Out for Good

Even after the war, in the
light of the accommodating short
age of capital and of consumer
goods. il is doubtful whether the
forty-hour week would be suit
able. Obviously there is, on the
other hand. no postwar need for
overworking manpower, and re-
turning to the ancient slavery
of a twelve-hour day. But the
need for production will be such
that a six-day week Of eight
hours per day will be in order.
With the present state of
technology, more goods and serv-
ices will certainly be produced
in forty-eight hours than in
forty. Indefinite frightening OF
hours beyond forty-eight. how
ever, would run into the law Of
diminishing returns, and would
be self-defeating.
There is much popular mis-
understanding of the effect of
working hours on material we'll
being. 1t is argued--and correctly
that workers now can pro-
duce as much in eight hours as
they once did in II. But it would
be explained that this new eff
ficiency has been accompanied
by an Improvement in tools and
an increase in mechanical energy
per worker.
In order to avert loss of pro-
ductivity as working hours per
week are shortened, it is neces-
sary to effect an improvement
in technology. But with the pres
ent state of the industrial arts,
total production is related to the
number of man hours employed
per year.

TURKEY:
Rene1Ued Pact

The British Turkish military ALI.
ance of 1899 once again became a
document of major Importance as
England's Winston Churchill and
President Ismet Inonu of Turkey met
near Adana to agree on positive
implementation' of the pact.
The alliance called for active mill
tary cooperation if the war moved
to the eastern end of the Mediter-
ranean. Close observers, using more
ordinary language, indicated that the
success of the parley means Turkeys
entrance into the wal on the side of
the United Nations. The fact that
Turkey made public the details of
the two-day meeting added signif-
canoe to the occasion. AS a neutral
she could have insisted upon
secrecy.
The Turkish communique referred
to the fact that Churchill came to
Turkey from his meeting with MI.
Roosevelt at Casablanca and could
speak freely" on the Presidents
views.
At the conclusion of the meeting.
Churchill said:
1T is clear that the ancient friend
ship between Great Britain and Tur-
key has been revived"

With that notice the selective serv'
ice bureau lifted the ban on drafting
fathers by abolishing deferments on
April l regardless of dependents
for men in a selected list of occupa-
tons and trades.
The order. announced by War
Manpower Commission Chairman

In Washington, McNutt told the
house military affairs committee
that "by the end of this year 10
out of every IA of the able-bodied
men between Is and SO will be in
the armed services.
Only the physically handicapped
and those over 81 years of age in
the jobs listed in the order to local
draft boards will be deferrable after
April l. The jobs listed were for
men engaged in % occupations or
employed in 10 industries. eight
wholesale and retail trades and nine
service activities.

American destroyer had shelled a

of Guadalcanal. Those barges might
have been used in new landings or
in coastal troop movements by a
desperate enemy.
A week before the outbreak of the

described the American hold on
Guadalcanal as secure. predicting
that the remnants of organized Jap

Tentative Exemption Schedule

If the treasury 10 per cent with
holding tax plan is carried out
some schedule of deductions to al
low for dependency, etc., would
have to be set up to simplify COM

tative weekly exemption schedule
which has been suggested:
Single Person .............S11.OO
Married Person .......... $500
Additional Dependent >. 500
The Victory tax of S per cent
would also still have to be paid.
Deductions for this are a nom
dependency basis, allowing a fiat
S12 per week exemption.
