1t begins to look as though the
young people Of Libby will get the
recreation room they have been
asking for A largely attended meet
ing Monday night of parents and
students started movement that
looks to that accomplishment.
I feel this experiment should be a
joint responsibility of parents and
young people. This is something the
young people are asking for and
they should assume a large share of
the work to make it a success. They
shouldn't be given too much. Let
them earn and pay for at least a
part Of what they are being given.
Most young people, judging from
what one sees around the city, have
considerable spending money. Let
them divert part of this spending
money to pay the expenses of their
recreation room. They should also
have a large part in the manage
ment Of the place. 1t is young
peoples venture Let them put
forth effort to make it success.

profits makes possible wage adjustments without
price increases, to effect a proper relationship
between wages and increased living costs.
Secondly, huge war profits make possible ac-
tual price decreases by compelling proiteers to
absorb increased costs and lower prices living
necessities.
Thirdly, the ample cushion of doubled
profits Is the first place to look for increased
tax income, without cutting into the bare live
lihO0d of the poor.
That's why the CLIO tax program calls for sharp
increases in taxation in upper income brackets,
with a $25000-a-year limit net incomes after
taxes; for elimination of the loophoes through
which the rich escape paying their fair share for
an increase in corporate profit taxes from 40 per-
cent to SIS percent; for 100percent excess profits
tax on corporation earnings of more than percent
on the first 10 million dollars of invested capital
and percent on all amounts above that.

can Labor Management Conference, the CLIO United

worth plugging.

An Ample Cushion

Ever notice the nice quiet way the business-con-
trolled press just slithers the question of
profits?
If you boil down few hundred daily paper edi-
torias, you have something like this: Labor Is
selfish and shortsghted in expecting wages to keep
pace with living costs Overtime pay for longer
hours is inflationary. All must sacrifice. Labor
must do its share by submitting to lower wages,
higher prices and taxes, sales taxation, etc. The
farmer cannot expect much for his products.
OF course profits are already looked after by taxa
tion, needn't go into that. AS we were say
ing, all must sacrifce-the soldier the worker, the
farmer-yes, the poorest of the poor; and
Pres. Roosevelt must sacrifice his crazy dctatorial
idea of limiting salaries and incomes to $4,000
year after taxes"
But have profits been looked after" by taxation?
Is it really irrelevant to talk of profit takers when
say all must sacrifice? Have the couponclip-
pers been bled white by taxation, the only people
left to squeeze are fat workers and farmers?
The Office of Price Administration reports that In
1912 corporate profits after taxes, were
approximately twice what they were In 1889.
1t remarks that "the extremely favorable profit
position far above normal peace-time levels, pro-
vides an ample cushion to absorb various pressures
tending to increase costs and adds:
$50 great the increase of profits before
taxes that despite the increase of tax rates,
profits after income and profits taxation
totaIed 80 billion in 1941, 97l2 percent above
the 4.03 billion total of 1899. For 1912, profits
after taxes will remain at approximately the
1941 level"
Now the Clio is not particularly interested in
the midst of this war, in soaking the rich argu-
ing about the social morality of the couponclip-
pers take" compared to that of the useful
worker. 1t is questionable, too, whether cutting
even the richest married couple to spending money
of $4,000 year represents an equal sacrifice"
TO that of the workers family deprived of some of
Its bare living necessities and still less to that Of
the soldier who sacrifices his life.
What the CLIO Is interested In Is maximum
national efficiency for winning the war; That
calls for wages sufficient to keep workers
healthy and strong; for taxes sufficient to
finance the without hampering produce
ton; and for stable economy I'm which living
costs as well as wages are stabilized, through
price control, universal ratiOning, and a fair
tax program.
To do all this, we just have to bring up the
question of high war profits.
In the first place. the present ample cushion Of

houses are built. Many soldiers have been bathing in these maks- shift tubs for months, but still an argument rages over the best way to cut the drums in halves.
 Some cling to the vertical or lengthwise-cut" school of thought. others prefer the horizontal or round-tub" type.
 The drums also serve many pur- poses other than such obvious us es as trash cans, water heaters, fuel and water tanks for small buildings and metal strips for fas- tening wooden frames together. Some jeeps have been winterized in this manner. The metal strips fasten the wooden sedan body on- to the open-air jeep.
 Filled with sand. the drums are used for anchors for small boats and all types of aircraft. In an Aleutian gale 1t is quite possible for a plane to take off without it's pilot.
 On cold, lonely guard posts, an empty drum becomes a stove where the guard can warm his hands for a moment.
 Those which are not put to other uses are reshipped to the States to be refilled with fuels and oils, and of those that remain out here, nothing is wasted.
 Those fancy signs in bright col ors the Aleutian soldier sees pro- claiming, Stop! Main Thorough fare" may look as though they might have been manufactured for New York City's police depart ment, but they were made from drum heads cut from those used culYerts.

EMPTY FUEL DRUMS
 COME IN HANDY AT
 AMCHITKA ARMY BASE
By Cpl. ALLEN MERRITT Army Correspondent

AMCHITKA - Much has been done along the Aleutian chain with Yankee resourcefulness and an ample supply of empty fuel drums.
 Virtually everything necessary to life itself must be shipped to these bleak islands, and there are necessarily shorages in many es- sential items These prosaic steel drums are substituted for every thing from culvert material to bath tubs.
 The Army Engineer road build CTS would have been in a bad way without them. For the most part these islands have networks of small streams and culverts to carry the waters of these rivu lets under roads and airplane taxi ways are constructed from drums fastened together with two by - fours after their ends are sliced out.
 Thousands of dollars worth of expensive culvert material has thus been diverted to other con struction, and invaluable shipping space which would have been nee essary for movement of this mater ial has been used for other vital supplies
 The empty drums, cut in halves, are in general use as bath tubs on all the islands where con has not reached that stage of development when shower

Again the Pope is the Prisoner in the Vatican.
 Hitler's Nazis are by no means the first Germans to desecrate the Holy See. Down through the cen turies. the German hordes, pagan and Christian, have sporadically swept through the Brenner and in- to Rome.
 Call it divine justice or fate, but such violations of the sacred Vatican often have meant disaster for the perpetrators. In mounting guns within Vatican walls, in for bidding services in St. Peters, Hitler takes a step which Mussoli- nj avoided.
 The French have an old saying: "Qui mange du Pape en meurt" CWho eats of the Pope, dies) which has some validity.
 Alaric Plundered Rome
 There was young Alaric of the Germanic Visigoths yhO plundered Rome in 40. Pope Innocent I fled to Rayenna. In a few months, AL aric was dead at 34, while cam paigning in southern Italy.
 The Vandals plundered Rome in 455, but Pope Leo the Great sue cessfully pleaded for the lives of the Romans and the Germans withdrew without harm to Leo.
 Theodoric the Great and his vic torious Ostrogoths became patrons of Pope John I until his influence reached even to Constantinople. The jealous Theodoric jailed the Pope at Ravenna in 526. The con-I finement killed the aged John I-I and TheodOric died a few weeks later.
