Despite the widespread raid area

casualties were small.

people that strong forces hit the

ing major damage" and many
tons of high explosive and thou
sands of incendiary bombs caused
great destruction" in south ana

The German planes got a sur
prise when they met London's
greatly strengthened air defenses.
They tried to cause confusion by
flying over from all directions at
once, and were met by a terrific
burst of fire. At least three per-

CAPITAL TALKS
by
Peter
Edison

These next few months should
tell whether the war is to be won
or lost-on the home front.
No one believes that the war
oyerseas-the fightin' war-can be
won or lost in that short time and
only a few people believe that the
outcome of this fightin' war will
be determined by the end OF 1943.
The war on the home front Is some
thing else again.
From the administrations point
! of view, this war on the nome
front is the battle of civilian sup
plv of taxation. of price control,
of wage control. of rationing, OF
farm prices. of manpower, OF
every single domestic economy
policy laid down in an effort to
support the war effort.
In short. this battle at home is
the battle against initiation. And
the next few months should tell
whether that battle is to be won
or lost.
The demands for retreat on
the -inflationary home front
are many and loud.
| The farm lobby-representa-
tives of the farm owners organlza-
tions-and the farm bloc in Con-
gress demands higher prices for
farm products. Although farm in
come for the entire country in 1912
was ST billion higher than it had
ever been in the most profitable
farm years. the farm lobby main
tains that is not enough to meet
increased labor costs These in
creased labor costs stem from a
shortage of farm labor. demand
for larger farm production, the
drafting of farm labor and an ap-
parent shortage of new farm ma
chinery.
On the other hand, the anti-in-
flationists contend that if farm
prices are permitted to advance,
up will go the cost of food and that
will result in a demand for in
creased wages and there you have
the beginning of an inflationary
spiral which can only mean higher
war costs and higher taxes.
Imperial Valley press., 1943-01-18
RELAXED RATIONING
WANTED

war costs and hgher taxes.
RELAXED RATIONING
WANTED
.. There is a general demand
from the affected areas for easing
up on wartime restrictions, partlc-
ularly on fuel oil, gasoline, tires
and mileage rationing. Rationlng
in general is not popular. A new
price administrator will be on the
job soon, replacing Leon Hender-
son.
There will be insistent demands
that this new price administra-
tor ease up little, to satisfy
the unpopularity of ratiOning at
home. If that endangerS the
supply of petroleum and rubber
products for the armed services,
the people complaining the loud
est against mileage ratiOning
consider it unimpOrtant.
3. The further rationing of food
stuffs-meats, canned goods and
dairy products-will meet with
plenty of criticism during periods
when people are getting used to this
rationing, although it should be OBJ
vious to every housewife that the
present system of voluntary ration
ing of meat has been a complete
| failure. Nevertheless, anyone who
wants to can sit down and figure
out plenty of objections to the
point" system of food rationing
and the 'inequities" it works on
the upper Income, higher standard
Of living groups who have been
used to all the meat, all the canned
goods they wanted.
There will be plenty of angry
speeches made about this in the
next few months. Some of the ra-
tioning officials say privately that
they have only themselves to blame
for this, because they have not sold
the country on the idea that 1t
should be considered just as unpa-
triotic to make speech against
rationing and price control, as 1t
would be to make a speech against
the purchase of war bonds.
RAW MATERIALS
SCARCITY
4. The pinch for new raw mate
rials is beginning to be felt Farm
ers demand more steel for the
manufacture of farm machinery
as mentioned above. Rubber Ad-
ministrator William N. Jeffers de-
mands more for the erection OF
synthetic rubber plants. II NIL
cage rationing restrictions are cas-
ed up and Jaffers doesn't get hl'
svntheic plants, here is the max
ing of a complete breakdown OF the
oo,.rty's transpOrtation-o rubber
by 1914.
Yet if Jeffers does get material
for his rubber factories. construc-
ion of plants for production OF
Walton gasoline and other wal
materials may be curtailed, endan-
'ering the war effort.
5. The manpOwer squeeze is
similar. The general staff says
il needs an army of is million
men. Yet because the draft takes
men away from farm and fac
tory. where they are also needed,
farm leaders, manufacturers and
!
fic.aIs favor reducing the size
of the army, favor keeping the
home front intact and as usual
even at the expense of the fight
ing front.
6. The burden of war taxation is
just beginning to be felt throu21
the Victory tax payroll deductions
War taxes will really h9 fel. When
people make out their income tax
returns before March IS There vi.
De hollers aplenty about that, yet
the new Congress must pass even
higher taxes for 1914. With that
will come demands for wage in
sreases TO meet the tax payments
With that comes initiation

this war on the home froat today
