Mr. Editor,
We hear much about what our con-
st1tution says, but no mention is ever
made of what it does not say in re-
gard to questions of great importance
to our people as a whole.
Our constitution says, Congress
shall have power to coin money and
regulate the value thereof" but does
not give the government any power
over the distribution or circulation of
it after coinage is completed The
brand of United States is placed on
each piece down to the penny but its
ownership is Immediately lost in the
first private holder and it is no longer
a medium of exchange or measure of
value as the trainers of the Consti-
tuition intended it to be, but the per-
sonal speculative property of holders
or controllers who are able to main
tain the law of supply and demand
for it at serious injury of any and
every other commodity.
The control of the government over
our highway system is far superior
insofar as control reaches as a road
hog who insists on a private right to
block transportation and traffic can
be dealt with by law, but the corpora
ton or banks or persons who block
flow of currency or directs into chan
nels Of private speculation is not
looked upon as a money-hog but
shrewd character.
How can the plan of the Constitu-
ton be complete if no control is given
1t over its own property? If person
places brand on his stock and the
brand is registered his ownership is
complete and his power to claim and
control is not to be questioned, but
our government is so weak in claim
to money bearing its own brand it
must borrow it of holder or claimant
IN case of extreme need. Since
money must flow in steady streams
IN order to maintain steady and uni
form business and industry, should its
control be in the government of the
people or in hands of money-hogs of
and speculative industries
who are able to direct its flow To
such Industries only, as may in their
opinion, be to their personal interest
or directed by the people to industries
most in need?
The cry of fear to invest by money

claims of road-hogs, and bears con-

NEED WINTER TROOPS
THE division is not to be

specific theater," Gen. McNair
says, "but the law of averages
shows we will need winter
trained troops sooner or later
and we are not going to be
caught flat-footed. -
I'VE know lot about winter

troops in Iceland and we have

But this division at Camp

1913 Model u S. Soldier Called Better Than Eve
Live Bullets Whistle Overhead
When He Trains, General Says
BY JAMES CULLINANE
NEA Service Staff Correspondent

MA Service btAIf Norresponocnt
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ia - In
the most peaceful setting in
Washington, a friendly, sandy
haired man with merry blue
eyes is perfecting new plans for
the deadliest human fighting ma
chine the world has ever known.
He is Lieut.. Gen. Leslie j. Nc
Nair, commanding general of the
Army Ground Forces, and he is
putting the finishing touches on
the 1913 model of the American
soldier.
From reports which pour into
his office at the secluded, heav-
lily guarded Army War College,
Gen. McNair has learned every
weakness, minor and m r,
shown by U. S. troops in battle.
The soldier trained this year
will not differ fundamentally
from the soldier trained last
year, but he will be better all
around fighter, Gen. McNair told
this correspondent in an exclus-
i've interview.
"In special theaters like New
Guinea and Guadalcanal our
fighting men are not doing any
thing they were NOT taught to
do, but they are not always do
ing some of the things skillfully
enough to satisfy u.s." Gen. Nc
Nair said.
NEW LIGHT DIVISION
"The Pacific has taught us we
still don't know how to scout as
we'll as we should. Of course
jungle fighting is something en-
tirely new for the American SOL
der, but, at least, he should
know how TO sneak toward sill
emily. There will be more en-
phasis on scouting in training
this year and there will be more
emphasis on camouflage.
1--WE may establish new kind
of light division this year
which will learn how to get
along without any of the fancy
motorized equipment Americans
have become accustomed to.
These divisions will be taught to
carry everything they need to go
into battle on their backs. They
will learn to fight while depend
ing solely upon air transport for
their supplies.
1--WE will concentrate on de-
veloping more self reliance in
small units. Leaders of small
units will be taught to think and
act for themselves when they are
cut off from their outfits. We
have been teaching these things
in the past but the men did not
absorb the instructions 100 per
cent"
All the nerve-w racking ex-
periences of warfare except
bloodshed and death will be ex-
perienced by American troops in
this country this year, General
McNair said.
AMPHIBIOUS TRAINING TOO
I'VE are going to make special
efforts to give men in training
every possible battle sensation.
They will crawl through barbed
wire with live ammunition from
machine guns whistling not
more than two feet above their
heads. Infantrymen will be
taught to fire every weapon and
they will train with artillery
shells roaring overhead. They
will see the shells burst and feel
the concussion."

OUR FOOD HELPING THE RED ARMY

Here is an encouraging bit of war news:
Despite stories of what the U-boats
are accomplishing, American shipments to
Russia in December and January, were
successfully completed without the loss of
single ship.
Two-thirds of our supplies move to
Russia in American bottoms, says Lend
Lease Administrator Edward R. Stettinius,
Jr., who points out that food shipments in
January were one-fifth larger than in De-
cember
The Russian army needs food We have
sent many thousands of tons of wheat and
flour, sugar, canned pork, dried beans and
other vegetables, lard and vegetable fats.
Maybe, some Americans, after under
standing the necessity of assisting the Rus
slams, by the shipment of foodstaffs, will be
more willing to cooperate in the rationing
programs. Certainly, if the Russian soldiers
continue their offensive they will inflict
serious injury upon Germany.
If we can do without foodstuffs, in or
der that the Red Army may wage aggres-
sive warfare, we will do well to ship the
food to Russia. Every German that the Rus
slams kill means one less enemy of this
country and, very probably, one less Amer
lean casualty,
