Just at the time when everyone
is all hot and bothered about post
war planning, the Presidents Ma
tional Resources Planning Board
was quietly killed by congressional
order on Sept. /, thereby providing
further proof, if any is needed, OF
the funny way they do things in
government.
NRPB was killed off at age 10
years. Congress provided $4,000
TO bury the remains in the Fed
eral Archives building where few
people will probably ever see
them again. Most Of the $4,000
will be used to pay off ac-
cumulated leaves of the staff.
There survives only a skeleton
staff and the director, Charles
w. Eliot, a grandson Of Harvard's
great president, who now be-
comes a kind of undertaken or
executor who has been given till
Jan. 1, to settle the estate.
The visible remains of NRPB
,onsist of some 100 reports on land
md water resources. public works
housing, income and consumption
transportation, technology, research,
state planning. regional planning
post war planning The accumu-
lation has been kiddingly referred
to as "Eliot's new five-foot shelf
Some of the reports are pretty big
and pretty tough going, unless you
happen to be particularly interested
and used to hard reading.
Maybe that was the trouble. Too
many people and all the congress
men didn't have time to find out
what was in 'em. so they stopped
this outpouring of words at the
source. This frame of mind is per-
haps best expressed by an irate
citizen in Salt Lake City who. dur
ing a meeting to set up a regional
postwar plan for Utah, rose from
his seat to protest that, We're
sick and tired of planning-all we
want to know is what we're going
to do" -. ~
IN THIS CORNER
Who gets the credit FOR killing
off NRPB? A couple of Republican
congressman named John Taber OF
Auburn. N. Y. and Richard b
Wigglesworth of Milton, Mass, who
led the fight in the House Com
mittee on Appropriations. The
Senate was little more con.
siderate,- wanting to give the board
another 100000 to string along on
but the House opinion prevailed.
What scared some people OF
of NRPB was the fear that 1t
stood for regimentation. govern
mental controls, planned economy
and such things which were
loosely interpreted as state So
ciaIism. NRPB spokesmen deny
that the board ever had any
such intent. What 1t tried to do
was collect the best information
IL could get on oil reserves. or
forests, or social security, or
what to do with and for dis
charged soldiers, parsing this in
formation on to the President.
Congress or other appropriate
private or state and local gov
ernment agencies whose direct
responsibility 1t was to deal with
the problems presented.
The board was always rathe
nousey about pushing its own re-
ports. In 1884. for instance, !
made an elaborate study OF stra
iegic materials, even going so ia
as to point out the shortages wnicl
would develop in case OF war. ina
was five years before war orok
out. Yet no one paid an" at'en
ion to it, and as result, IN
country got caught short.

because they had orders not to undertake
such a Vancouver.
This is the information given by Sec
rotary of War Stimson, who states that
some commentators, in discussing the Tu-
nisian campaign, were less than fair to the
american troops.
The Secretary points out that the CAM

Allied armies to undertake supporting at

THE WAY TO DISASTER

The United Nations are now engaged in
thestask of defeating an evil coalition which
set out to plumber the wealth of mankind
The one purpose of the union among
the enemies of aggression is the defeat of the
freebooters and the restoration of liberty to
free peoples.
One of the best ways to destroy this
unity would be to pause, in the common un-
dertaking, long enough to attempt to settle
the trivial disagreements that exist between
the various nations now fighting the Axis.
: Despite this fact, there are some Amer
leans, and some citizens of other nations,
who seem to be more anxious to promote diff
ferences between the Allies than to settle
the score with the enemy.

MORE THAN HOLDING OUR OWN

Prime Minister Winston Churchill as
serted in the House of Commons that the
United Nations are more than holding
their own" in the Atlantic battle with the
U-boats. While agreeing with Secretary
Knox that the results of U-boat warfare
are serious he viewed the battle as a whole
and repeated his reinsurance that we are
more than holding our own"
In Washington, Secretary Knox admit
ted that the Prime Minister was quite
right" and explained that when he recently
spoke of an increasingly bad submarine sit
uation, he was alluding only to March eff, :
he said, you take an average over the last
six months, We are more than holding our

sWATTING THE PUBLIC

Many time newspapers have been ac-
cused of being sensational, and the accusa-
ton is true sometimes, but they are as zeph-
ers compared with tornadoes when lined up
with some so-called news commentators
over the radio
At almost any time you may run across
g Key Wester who will inquire, How is
this? Stories in the newspapers said that
such-and-such is the case, but heard So
and-So over theradio last night, andhe had
an altogether different story to tell. If what.
he says is true, then the Allies are in bad
way
One of the So-and-Soes sounds like
WORKOUT politico pleading for votes He re-
verses the general way of speaking over
radio or on platform, either Instead of
working up to peroration, he begins with
a sort of peroration and works down to
something that sounds like a gasp. Judging
by his talk, he is lingo if ever there was a
lingo.
Another commentator" who tries to
make listeners think he is something of
clairvoyant, peers into the future and pro-
ceeds to unlimber his guesses about things
tocome.' Amy Key Wester,a who wishes to
60 to the trouble, may check upon him
and learn that anybody's guess is just as
good as his. sssa ssitpsa
But his guessing is not always of
harmless nature. Listeners can't help from
thinking, when he opens up the book of
the future, that he is trying to throw scare
into them. Such bleatings over the radio,
or even at the corner grocery, works against
morale, and, despite the insistent cries about
the freedom of speech, the government
would be justified in forcing this gentleman
to keeping his predictions to himself.
Newspapers in the United States to-
day, without single exception, SO far as
The Citizen has been able to learn, are
walking arm in arm with Uncle Sam in his
struggles to crush our enemies. Editors
don't pitt one side of the government
against the other, and, though they may
disagree over the policy pursued to bring
about much-desired end, they stick to the
subject and make no effort to drum up SEN
sationalism, as some commentators do.
few have been barred from the air, but, in
the opinion of The Citizen, they were inno-
cents compared to some of them who are
permitted to work themselves up into a
sweat, night after night, in their attempts
to swat the American public between the
eyes,

WAR NO STIMULUS TO SCIENCE

There are many people who believe
that war stimulates scientific research and
that, after the bloodshed is over, the world
is benefited by scientific advances made UNI
der the pressure of conflict.
This notion is dissipated by the state
ment of DIR. Robert al. Millikan and DR..
Thomas Hunt Morgan, two of the world
greatest scientists. They say that there is
nothing to the popular idea. III
It is terrific blunder to assume that
war promotes science, 'tsays DR.. Millikan.
.Ninety-nine per cent of scientific inven-
tons have not been the result of the stim-
illus of war as many people believed He
adds, ''War distorts science, namely, vast
ing energy on things which are not benefit
cial to humanity.
Dr. Morgan supports this view, say
ing: 1--WE didn't need war to stir us up.
We had plenty to do without it.

Hon. Lyle H. Boren
C0ngressnan from,
Oklahoma

CONGRESSMAN BOREN OPENS:
understand peace by force to
mean . peace. the terms of which
would be enforced by some armed
might sufficiently strong to impose
upon those unwilling to participate
in such peace the terms thereof.
The term BLASTING" Immediately raises
the question OF whether we mean for
eternity. for hundred years. for a
generation, or for decade. My first
premise is that the only kind OF a
peace which viii be possible will be
peace dictated and enforced by the
Allied Powers, after the total defeat
OF the Axis Powers, or by the Axis
Powers after the total defeat of the
Allied Powers. l. of course. assume
total victory for the Allies. I further
assume tina. by lasting peace we
mean a peace which will continue
effective under force until the people
OF the world can be educated to so
strongly desire peace that force would
no longer be necessary. think such
a peace by force could be made. and
must be made distinguishing until
the nature of man can be sufficiently
changed by education to understand
that peace under any conditions is
preferable to war under any condi-
tons as a means of assuring human
progress to higher spiritual. cultural
and material achievement
MR.. FARREN CHALLENGES:
Congressman Boren refntes his own
premise for q lasting peace by force
when he says peace must be enforced
on the unwilling by either the Allies
or the Axis. whichever Is victorious.
Does he think 134.000.Cc0 Americans
would submit to an Axis-inspired in
ternational police force? For how
long? agree we must educate the
peoples Of the world to desire for
peace but not at the business end of
tommy-gun. still believe that
when you whip a strong man you
must do one Of two things: destroy
him once and for all or rehabilitate
him. Bullying won't work.
CONGRESSMAN BOREN RE-
PLIES: There are three possible re-
suits in war: continue warning until
the millions Of people on one side are
exterminated; or until they are beat
en-, surrender, and become peaceful
under a superior force; or stale
mate. Peace Is law, order, and prog
ress. Law Is rule Of action pre-
scribed by ruling power backed by
the business end Of tommy-gun."
whether that ruling power be a des-
pot or self-governing people. Until
human nature changes and all indi-
viduals become just, law abiding, and
peace-loving, law and order must be
upheld by force, otherwise we would
abandon all progress.

A FAIR QUESTION

DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, president
of Columbia University, takes note of the
failure of our public schools to teach Amer
ican history and then asks, How much do
rresent-day pupils know of elementary
mathematics, of the English language and
its grammar, of the literature of America
and England?'
The educator then propounds ques-
ton, What do the schools teach nowadays
ifthey do not teach these elementary and
vitality important subjects?"
This is fair question.
