eminent will do its utmost to
cooperate with us. But in view
Of the fact that We are supposed
TO have all the riches in the
world, it is natural that the
main reconstruction responsible
ity should fall on the American
people.
View Future Markets.
The Clear-seeing men in Lon
don realize that for a long time
the European markets will be Of
minor Importance to the British
trades Asia also will no longer
offer the remuneratiVe outlets Of
the past. There is no saying how
long the period of unrest will
continue in that area even II the
Allies defeat the japanese soon.
Some Of Africas territories,
from the economic point Of view,
still are dark continent They
lend themselves TO colonization
and exploitation of raw materials.
The British have purchased, by
advancing important sums TO the
Fighting French, many important
forests in French Equatorial Al
RIGA. Great is the possibility OF
developing rubber in the area
along the Atlantic If a sustained
effort we're made, and the time
may come when the loss of the
plantations In Malaga can be
replaced by new rubber planta-
tons in the territories along the
Gulf OF Guinea.
In spite of the reported hos
tility to the British of the French
population and authorities in
North Africa, important eco
nomic progress has been made
In the last few months. The
"colons"-the wealthy French set
tlers-did a roaring cash bust
ness with the Nazis before the
Americana British occupation of
Morocco and Algeria.
British Buy Francs.
When our forces arrived the
settlers had loads of French
francs which could purchase
nothing, and they feared their
money would be devalued. Brit
ish agents, representing private
concerns and not the British
government, offered to buy the
French francs at better than
Official rate.
The purchased francs were not
allowed to idle. This was no
exchange speculation" Of some
get-rich-quick sharks. The men
who transacted these operations
were honest and shrevd bust
nesSmen = Invested the francs
in North Africa without delay
by purchasing an interest in
mines, industries and all natural
riches which exist in those two
French-ruled territories.
But the time may come, after
the war Is over, when these mat
ters-the ascendency of the
British investors in North Africa,
the organization of commerce,
air traffic and other varied
aspects of economic life in Al
rica-may cause undesirable
friction between Britain and the
United States.

In neither Mr. HooVer's view nor
Mr.. Green's view, as publicly ex-
pressed, is there any sense of the
chanclneSs Of war, of the possible
tragedy Of missed opportunity, Of
the urgency Of the moment. It is
all schematlc, formal, business. in

If it turns out that a smallcl
Army would be easier to manage.
we'll, well, isn't that interesting, and
let's have the smaller Army. There
is sCant feeling that retribution for
a mistake might be prompt, terrible
and overwhelming. The morale Of
both men is much too good.
There is too little feeling that the
final decision as to the size of next
years Army will be made by what
our Army does this year
If our Army engages in genuine
coalition warfare with Russia this
year then we may avoid the need
for greatly larger Army. If it does
not, We cannot avoid that need.
That is what the real war says
to us, with its own impatient logic,
and it does not care what any man
says.
You cannot talk about the size
Of the Army without talking about
the invasion of Europe. One who
tries it will find himself talking
about nothing, or else Worshiping
his secret dreams, without relevancy
to the world or the war.

SOMETHING VERY
WRONG HERE

News dispatches tell of an overflow
this week of fat hogs in the main stock
yards in the east, swamping slaughter
ing facilities and entailing tremendous
losses to shippers and yards. Hogs ready
for market lose weight rapidly under
such circumstances and the meat value
drops below standard as well.
Waking up too late, the War Food Ad-
ministration "views with alarm" this con-
dition and sees the likelihood of declaring
an embargo on shipments until conges-
tion is alleviated
There is no excuse for this condition.
The government has in its power the
machinery to regulate the flow of meat
animals to slaughter markets. The feed
er is at the mercy of these regulations In
preparing the animals for market Ger
tainly he should not be the loser when
shipment time comes. An embargo only
means other feeders who have fixed time
for shipment also lose because they must
keep on feeding until the embargo ends.
Then the old vicious circle starts again,
as there will be many caught under the
embargo and, of course, they will all
ship at the same time.
The same situation hit range cattle
growers last fall when they were COM
pelled to ship feeder stock in unpreced-
ented numbers because of the lack OF
feed. (Some more bungling.

the fallacy of the New Deal theory of
centralized, bureaucratic control of econ

THAT WE MAY LIVE

(Calipatria Herald-By Tracy Sorensen,
Editor)
No victory in American military his
tory was ever attained at higher price,
according to the War Department, than
our recent conquest of Tarawa, japanese
Gibraltar of the Gilbert Islands. More
than 1000 American boys gave their
lives in the fierce fight . E. and more
than $500 others were disabled or wound
ed.
We wonder sometimes, when we read
the news dispatches of the heroic fight
our men are making-of boys who keep
on fighting after they are desperately
wounded; of the lads who land on beach
es under murderous machine gun fire
how worthy we are of the sacrifices they
are making. We wonder about that when
we read of strike leaders threatening to
shut down vital war industries unless
their demands for pay increases are
granted when we read that steel workers
are demanding a 15-cent an hour pay
jump, and that million railroad work
ers are threatening to go on strike unless
they get an Scents an hour increase.
We are not arguing the merits or de-
merits of these wage demands. Perhaps
some of the raises are justified. But
when American boys are dying, by the
hundreds and the thousands, that we may
live, we certainly need to take account of
our stewardship here on the home front.
We need to ask ourselves, every day:
Are we worthy"

personnel to supervise games and con-
structive activities like carpentry and
painting For young and active adults
there will be swimming pools, tennis
courts golf courses and athletic fields;
gymnasiums, bowling alleys and all forms
of indoor sports. And for those who
only want to relax, there will be lawns
and terraces, sundecks. restaurants, beer
halls with orchestras, theaters and read

movies and informative lectures.

STATES RIGHTS AND

8. Before the Senate now is the
Bailey-Van Nuys bill which would
exempt fire insurance making
from regulation under the Sherman
antitrust law, by declaring that
insurance is not trade or commerce,
and therefore not subject to con-
troll as Interstate commerce by the
federal government. The law would,
on the other hand, leave fire in
surance regulation entirely to the
states Here the states rights idea

Capital Talk
by
Peter Edison

This may sound like something
out of the Civil War period, but the
old fight over the issue of states
rights" is back in the limelight.
You will find it being argued seri-
ously on half a dozen battle fronts
around Washington.
l. infringement on states rights
was apparently the number one rea-
son for the defeat OF the soldier
vote bill in the Senate. Southern
Democrats were able to block the
measure because the opposed letting
the federal government have the
right to determine voting qualifica-
tionS, even for men in the armed
services.
>. Similar arguments are used to
block the anti-pool tax bill. In the
case of the soldier-vote bill defeat
it was freely charged that the 81
Southern states rights senator's
made a deal with Is Northern Re-
publican senators, whereby the
Southerners would vote against the
Soldier-vote bill in return for North
ern Republican support in main-
taxing the poll tax as qualifica-
ton for voting in federal elections
Whether or not any such agree
ment was made, the Senate AZ to
81 vote against the soldier-vote bill
served to put the Is Republicans
voting with the majority on record
in favor of states rights, which is
a new twist to the old argument of

craft speeoc, It is possible to cross
some states in matters of minutes,
and it is felt that a maze Of 48 state
aviation codes would be tremend-
Gus obstacle to the development of
postwar flying. Nevertheless, the
opposition to this provision of the
Lea bill comes from those who raise
the cry of states rights" in opposi-
ton to allowing the federal govern
ment the right of uniform regula-
ton.
5. One of the principal arguments
raised against the proposal for a
federal sales tax in increased war
revenues has been that this would
be an infringement against the
rights of the states, many of which
derive much of their income from
state sales taxes.
6. An argument frequently raised
against subsidies Is that they tend
toward too much federal regime nta-
ton of agriculture. instead of leav-
ing the control over farming to the
individual states.
Now all this rallying round the
tattered banner of states rights
does not just happen. 1t is a ma
tural reaction against too much
federal regulation during the de-
preston and during the war. The
protection against too much Wash
ington' in your daily life may come
in a swingback to more states
rights. The question is whether the
cure is worse than the curse.

By RUTH MILLETT


A teacher who used to spend her
GUNNER vacation and
a good part of the money she saved
during the year in travelling had
different idea this last summer.
She figured that in war time she
didn't have any business using
even a well-earned vacation doing
nothing productive-and so she got
herself a job.
She knew she really needed a
change from the classroom if she
were to come back to it refreshed
and eager in the fall, and so she
went to large city and got her.
self a job in business, with the
understanding. CT course, that she
could only work for three months
She says it was one of the most
enjoyable vacations she ever spent
in spite of the fact that she
worked full time. She had the
stimulation of living in a large city
meeting new people, getting a busi-
ness woman's rather than a teach
er's slant on things. And she got a
kick out cf the fact that she could
handle an entirely different kind
of job.

roads long history, and time has seemed to
race along.
Like everyone else, we have had problems.
The wartime shortages of equipment and
manpower have made it difficult to handle
our big war load.
We have had to restrict travel, instead OF
encourage it as we'd do in normal times. Men
i'm uniform and essential war travellers now
have first call on all our facilities.
You might think, as we did for awhile, that
our inability to serve travellers as usual dur

reverse appears to have happened.

ONE STEP TOWARD
UNMUDDLING

An act of Congress now in effect Civ
ing General Hershey unrestricted con-
troll of the national selective service ad-
ministration and removing any and all
parts of the job from the office of war
manpower, held by the Indiana politi-
clan, McNutt, is step on the way toward
clarifying and making more workable
the whole selective service set-up.
The two authorities constantly were
at loggerheads on policy and operations
and as result neither department func-
toned properly or efficiently.
Herhsey, of course, is for an 'all-out"
draft policy and will GO ahead in his way
to fill the armed strength goal of H.,
100000 men by mid-1944. But the same
act giving him full authority also sets
a definite curb on drafting pre-Pearl
Harbor fathers, but what is still more
effective, the law requires that the selec-
tive service exhaust all other available
men "of the nation" before turning to
fathers. 1t further clarifies the edict
on registering for essential work or arbi-
trarily being drafted into military ser
vice.
Manifestly the hurry up time for
inducting men is past and the time is
here to get down to a more conservative
and workable set-up which will both fill
the armed ranks and keep the farms and
industries properly manned.

When it is considered that millions of

not been in that category before the
war, it readily must be seen that grave
